Misaki is caught in the middle of this plot. Felt bad that she had to get involved like this tbh.

It kinde felt like these events were destined to happen and take place. Gotta give Akira credit where credit is due though. He's a lot smarter than he looks in this operation.

The fateful day begins.

To save Misaki, Akira steadily prepares with Youko. Meanwhile, Kojima also makes preparations to discuss business with Sunagawa, using Misaki as a bargaining chip. On the day of the negotiation, with each harboring their own intentions, Kojima and Sunagawa confront each other. Meanwhile, at Taihei City Hospital, a man visits Ebarahara, who is hospitalized. Thus, across various places, a fateful day begins.

Kojima's a real piece of work. Should be a surprise to no one. I mean at least he does have the decency to give Takahashi a replica gun, looking out for him somewhat because he knows he doesn't have the balls nor can he actually kill someone. Anyways though, it's pretty interesting the way they brought back Akira's boss. But ofc, poor Misaki. She doesn't deserve all this. Can't wait for Akira to kill all these dudes once and for all.

Fable is finally here to save the day.

Akira being a chad to realize that Misaki's happiness is the Satos' happiness, that actually touches my heart.

Jackal FINALLY returns...for a sponsor ad, which is still funny, NGL. As suspected, Kojima is out for blood and more than just a call-girl business, and Takahashi almost crapped his pants for that. And come to think of it, both Akira and Misaki have quite the give-and-take wholesome relationship, that if not for the trading between yakuza, they would already have a romantic relationship by now. It's a relief that Misaki's boss is fine, and Sunagawa's hired hitmen are ready for their assault on Kojima and Takahashi.

Misaki's life is just tragic, having to deal with a bedridden mother, and now, Kojima's sexual bidding. With Yoko's help to create hand grenades, more tools are made, and everyone is on the move on the fated day to confront each other at the Yamashita Factory ironworks, as Ebihara meets the Boss, the former Fable before Akira, questioning his intent on why he engaged him. As Misaki and one of Sunagawa's lackeys get the business on, Akira is the sly one to really save her, what a dude.

Say what you want about Akira, but he's the REAL Fable.

Is nice that Akira's boss, knows about all the crap that Akira got involved. And gone confront who is blame, Ebihara, who wanted to give Akira a hard time since the beginning.
At least Misaki will be saved.

Just in case you're wondering, the mosquito sound in this episode is actually 7kHz-8kHz rather than 16kHz, so hearing it doesn't mean you still have good ears, but NOT hearing it mean you should go to doctor immediately.

I think that even if He didn't involve Akira in this, he would have found out anyway and saved her on his own will. I mean he found out that she was Kojima's target on his own

Boy that episode flew by. It ended so abruptly I thought for sure we had at least a few minutes left. It's rare a show has that effect on me these days. Can't wait for the next episode. I'm actually getting omnibus 1 of the manga as a package today. This has definitely been the best show of the Spring Anime season so far.

In real life, it's the strong who win.

Fable's still being a pro and kicking ass to save Misaki. He's also apparently learned another emotion besides laughing his ass off at Jackal. Meanwhile, his boss has found out that Ebihara's been using him for jobs. Major cliffhanger here with the matters of getting Misaki to safety and the Kojima vs Sunagawa business still up in the air. I'm not confident about Takahashi's chances here, either.

Misaki was forced to start work in this episode. I'm happy finally Akira and Youko act to save Misaki. I'm curious about Youko's skills.

The end scene is Akira meets Misaki. Next, Misaki knows who Akira really is?

He doesn't want her to find out in order to not burn his cover, so he will probably try to hide it from her. it will be interesting if she finds out by mistake

damn it's adult anime... show Misaki oppai... :P

Youko at the start of episode is so annoying as always.. she would do better prostitute and she would even maybe like it in a strange way

what worries me is Misaki with wheelchair in ED, It is not that I noticed it just now, but now it started to bug me as I started to like her... Still not sure if she should end up with Akira? She should be happy away from bad people.
Also I am worried that Akira butting in will allow Kojima to survive... which is ultra bad that other killer always wanted to fight a Fable so he might notice Akira and go after him instead of Kojima..

I hate it when anime/manga that I enjoyed ends, especially when there could be much longer plot and when I love main heroine :P

I wish I had magic glasses that let me see real world in anime colors ;)

@MrHunterxHunter it's more traumatic for her in the manga since she actually blows him and he gropes her at least once.

  • 16kHz is hard to listen. When I was adjusting a radio controlled clock with 3rd harmonics in my office where the radio wave was weak, my PC generated 13.3kHz and only a newly-hired colleague noticed it.

I think Misaki will know who really Akira is, because Akira's voice. I think while Akira use mask when save Misaki, the voice still easy to recognize.

Especially if Akira open his half mask until his nose like the end of episode 11

I also suspect that in the ending song scene, it looks like Misaki will find out who Akira and Youko really are

Man, what a tense episode man, first it starts with Sato telling his little sister that he is clearly in love with Misaki he just doesn't understand this feeling but clearly he loves and respects her a lot, then we see the original Fable talking to Ebihara about why Sato is involved in the Yakuza issues, then we see the discussion between the Yakuza heads about who is in charge of the brothel and we also see the killer ready to kill Kojima when he receives the signal, and in the end we see that Misaki had to accept being an escort for three months if not Kojima I would go after everyone with a connection to her, and when she was about to be abused to the point where the guy ripped his clothes and I was very scared of that, but then Sato appears saving his loved one and putting an end to the Yakuza. What an epic episode

@Satoshi17 She was also under much stress being forced to work for the Yakuza as a prostitute and was raped by a goon, as in the anime we "just" saw her being forced stripped in the manga she is forced to give him a blowjob.

Besides let me ask you this, who is this character?

@curvedtree Yeah, it's not easy to recognize a person that way, you're right, but the voice makes a big difference, you could recognize someone just by their voice. Anyway, i checked out the manga panel, and the scene looks more convincing.

@curvedtree The animation is fine. It's cheap, not bad: bad animation is the one which makes mistakes and looks visually repulsive; low budget animation simply cuts corners and moves little. Complaining that something is cheap is like children stomping feet because they can't have it all: Fable didn't get budget animation because the animators are bad and evil, but because just like you said, nowadays good animation only goes to marketeable seasonal crap.

In short, animation is money. In this economic climate, anime watchers have 2 choices: stomping their feet and end up watching only high budget seasonal crap, or accepting cheap animation and actually get to the interesting stuff.

What an intense episode. I was on the edge of my seat the entire episode. Akira is back in action and even though he loves his new life and is getting g accustomed to it. He can’t let these rats take advantage of the girl (Misaki) who helped him out when no one else did and got him a job. He’s got to repay her for her kindness and even he said he can’t stand to see her cry and when she’s happy he’s happy 😃

I get the feeling Misaki isnt going to know it's Akira because the different dialect even though it clearly is his voice.

Hopefully the guy that wanted to do something but couldnt is let off easy. He just got in over his head
