| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Due to a change in broadcast programming, episode aired 31 mins later than usual: https://twitter.com/5Hanayome_anime/status/1369227108803772417 Well...they aren't sure gonna leave the handsome Takeda behind as the space for the tutor's rival of the Nakano quintuplets (though the speculation (and confirmation) that Takeda is linked to Dr. Nakano came late). But with Fuutarou having the same over-stressed load of having to manage all 5 sisters while carving his own exam mentality in the water, man does he have it rough and tough as the mediocre idiot who can STILL ace the mock exam. With the way things are, all 5 sisters preparing for Fuutarou's birthday is quickly drowning in sight, and don't mention about getting their confession to Fuutarou in a first-come, first-serve manner (though Nino just did episodes prior). NGL, the 5 paper cranes each indicating each and every sister's hard work for the mock exams, it's these symbolisms that I truly love (other than that one sister who suggested it in the first place). The Sisters' War arc in the final 2 episodes will truly push each and every Nakano quintuplet to their absolute thinking hats...and Nino's declaration of love and war is only just the beginning in regards to the school trip, but too bad Fuutarou went with the "Bros before hoes" route instead. |

| The birthday present part was funny but sweet took. Ichika's pushing it really hard and playing it dirty too but the other quints won't stop either XD. Nino's on full offensive and she doesn't listen to what the others have to say. I love her straightforwardness. Yotsuba part was just sweet. She's such a selfless and great girl. She always thinks of her sisters first to the point she doesn't even know what she wants herself. She was even ready to be alone so that the other quints get to be with Fuutarou, that scene was really touching.You mean the fans of other quints will be uneasy? |

But fingers crossed for which the anime could produce a different scenario instead (which I'm highly betting on). |
|
| We finally got the best scene animated ☘️💚 |
“Now I have neither happiness nor unhappiness. Everything passes. That is the one and only thing that I have thought resembled a truth in the society of human beings where I have dwelled up to now as in a burning hell. Everything passes.” ― Osamu Dazai, No Longer Human |
Finally Yotsuba got some screentime.I am happy she got most screen time in this episode as I felt she had the least screen time. However, Ichika is dropping fast like a rocket.I thought maybe she will regret what she has done in the previous episode but no sign of that. Nothing worse than getting in Miku's way because she does not want Miku and Fu-Kun know the truth.   To be honest, I was acutally happy when I saw Nino with a birthday present and comfronted Ichika about the spring vacation scene. I also like Nino does turn up the temperature and already is aware of other girls (Miku) has a crush on Fu-kun. I didnt expect Nino to do a pout lol   Miku: In her work uniform, is DAMN cute. I love how she is always trying her best. I don't mind tasting her burnt croissant.  I can't wait when Miku finds out about Ichika's disguise and she hasn't seen the yandere side of Miku. BEHOLD!!! Guess Nino will be experiencing Miku's Yandere form ^_^  The ending was funny but at the same time I think it is a fair choice since one of the sisters would be left out and that would be unfair. Well I dont mind if gets left out *shrugs* The sister picture LMAO, no1 is acutally smiling haha  Current ranking: 1. Miku 2.Nino 3.Itsuki 4. Yotsuba 5. Raiha 6.-------- |

| They keep on reshuffling stuff around from the source material but I'm hoping it's for the best. This way maybe the ending feels less contrived than in the source material. |

| Being pursued by the heels chaser lol what a development. Ensuring that the sisters reach the top ten of the mock exams really is quite the bold aspiration. Ichika's greatest rival though isn't Miku but the far more formidable Nino. Itsuki sure looked cute when she was trying to not show Futaro how nervous she was. Sometimes the simple things can end up being the most beautiful. That moment within the park with Futaro and Yotsuba though sure was nice. Its nice to see her finally get some time alone with Futaro. Overall an entertaining ep that did well in showing how Ichika and Nino's escalating fight for Futaro is going while also giving a rare opportunity to see Yotsuba's increasing feelings for Futaro show as well. |

| As we expected, at the end everyone gave him a gift hahah How many times do I have to say that Futuro’s sister is so fucking cute 😌 I was waiting this chapter because of Yotauba and Futaro's date ,and I’m not disappointed. Quintuplets, of course, always have to be together (´ ε ` )♡ |
| Wow, I guess all the quintuplets has fallen for Fuutarou now, and I’m pretty sure that Yotsuba has fallen for him too in this episode. I’m wondering if a Harem war will happened in the next episode, since the next episode will be called “Sisters War”. Overall I really love this episode, I enjoy every episode from season 2 so far. I’m looking forward to episode 11. |
Nina supporter for life💕 |
| I can see now why Futaro choose as his bride lol, It kinda make sense |
 "俺は海賊王になる男だ！！！" |
| So that Takeda Yusuke guy was their father'ss spy all along. Takeda seems like a new friend to Fuutarou although his motives are still questionable. That box of cloths from Itsuki was suspicious, definitely a hint. |
 |
| Woah the pacing went a bit fast this episode, which means a lot of things happened. After a challenge from Yusuke, Futaro struggled but passed the mock exams, placing him at 3rd nationally. This also happened at his birthday, with him getting some paper cranes from the quintuplets. But dear Lord, the sisters are starting to make their skirmishes heard with one another as all of them fight for Futaro's attention and care in his birthday and for the school trip. Ichika...are we really doing this girl? Are we really fucking acknowledging how you turned into an antagonistic archetype just to win this fight? NOOOOOO. Nino is TOO upfront on getting Futaro, even almost pissing it out to her other quints. Miku is too weak to do shit, and Itsuki (my first ever fav) is too patient to make a move, still holding it out for the future And yes ladies and gentlemen, in my opinion, this episode and my pick for best girl now belongs to Yotsuba. After all the girls have been liked and praised, it only took me now to like what Yotsuba is. And after episodes of staying cheery and viewing from the sidelines, she easily swept in and took my heart in a sweet and lovely scene in the park. As the episode ends, Futaro opted to join the bois as his company in the school trip, leaving the girls no choice but to stick with each other. And as Yotsuba said before the ED plays, "this is awkward", oh yes it is and not just awkward, it might blow into a full-fledged Sister Wars! |

| I despise Ichika in this episode but this was nice for Yotsuba. |
 |
| I wish the anime had an original ending just to keep things more interesting. Anyway I like the quints! |
 |
| Ichika is playing dirty. She has truly fallen in my eyes. |
 |
| Nino stock: 🚀🚀🚀 Yotsuba stock: 📈 Miku stock: 📈 Istuki stock: 📈 Ichika stock: 📉 |
| "hes too slow i dont know how hot has his processor but i put some death grips on it and its getting loud its getting lit" |
| Yotsuba and Itsuki best girls. |
 plz @ me |
| Got some pretty good kawaii moments in yuru camp today, but I'm just gonna say that upside-down uesegi-kun was the best thing I've seen all day. Now yotsuba is my least favorite but dammit she's just so wholesome that you can't deny she's the most deserving of fuutaro. Glad she got a moment in this episode, they've cut out a handful of her scenes so far so it's good that she finally got her first scene alone with fuutaro in a while. The irony. Ichika has become pretty selfish, is still playing dirty kind of, and has even looked down on yotsuba in a way. She asked for yotsuba to be in the group with herself and fuutaro because (at least how I interpret it) is that yotsuba has no chance (or just doesn't care) with fuuatro so she's like the only "safe" girl to have together in a group, which would leave fuutaro all alone to ichika. While I admire ichika's bold yet dirty tactics, yotsuba being the one to sacrifice her spot so that her other four sisters and their tutor could be together, augh, my hart. Second best moment in this episode (after upside down uesegi-kun) is miku being jealous of nino calling fuutaro as "fuu-kun". When she repeats it, AAHH KAWAII!!! But yeah hot dam nino is freaking unstoppable and even ichika acknowledges that. Poor miku man, what are you going to do when you have a sister like THAT. So obviously nino and ichika know about each other's feelings about fuutaro, are they aware of miku's as well? I forgot. And I'm assuming they think itsuki and yotsuba are basically on the sidelines and indifferent. I mean yotsuba obviously does but I have no idea where itsuki stands. At least she gave him some energy drink or whatever to stay awake. Anyway here we once again have a weekly dose of BEST FKING GIRL, SHUT UP AND SIT DOWN  |

| It's nice that they've adapted Yotsuba's chapter. But man, they left the best scenes. When buying clothes, Ichika and Miku entered the shop and forced Fuutaro to get in the changing room with Yotsuba. She even changed clothes in front of him! |

| Wasn't Miko the one who wanted to call Futaro FuKun? Did Nino unknowingly beat her to it or was it intentional? The Nino train can't be stoped. It can't be bought, bullied, negotiated and reasoned with. |

| More of a breather episode which is fine with me. It focused on setting up more unrest between the girls and establishing the school trip as the playground for the climax of the season. Ichika continues to be a snake, but I can’t hate her for it because I understand why. Yotsuba is starting to shoot up my board because she genuinely cares about Futaro’s happiness and often knows what he needs the most. It looks like Itsuki was the girl pretending to be Rena, likely meaning she is the one in the picture. |
| Takeda's screen time got reduced in favour of some screen time for Yotsuba. Which I'm fine with since he's not really important anyway, and it gives some nice characterization for her. I'm hoping the Sisters' War arc is evenly paced with only 2 episodes left. Anyway, Nino still be girl. |

| I am a Miku guy, but Nino just keeps gaining ground. Honestly, either one can be best girl. Really like them both. Yotsuba gets some ground now too. She has no ill intentions for anyone. This leads us to her polar opposite, Ichika, who is now dead last. She's kind of the opposite of every one of her sisters good sides. Then there is.... uhm.... whats her name? Oh yeah, Itsuki. She's, I dunno, being Itsuki. She's not really doing anything. But yeah..... Ichika sucks. |
 |
MF'ers actually did it, they adapted Yotsudate, one of her most crucial parts. Me rn:  Seriously it felt so dirty thinking this was gonna be cut out, outright seriously nerfing a main character, but guess they wanted to leave it for later. |
Nino's Love Train Moments of this episode : and one of the key moment that , because his laugh feels so genuine there. Yotsuba really is so precious.   |

| i thought the studio will just skip Yotsuba date, I'm so glad to see it and with the school trip, the sister war is coming will two episode be enough for this arc? |
Elyon_HolicMar 11, 2021 6:34 PM
| worst girl continues to be the worst lol at least Yotsuba has gained some kind of footing in this war shes too kind for her own good Nino train wont stop cant stop. this season ending on a trip war again? why do i feel like we might've skipped a bunch to get to this like last time lol |

| The swing scene with Yotsuba and Fuutaro was adorable, especially her blushing smile. Great stuff. Miku in her work outfit is really cute. Go Nino go! Nino train is unstoppable! |
