| That Entertainment District looked like fun. Sakura and his friends are still amazing, kicked some ass without breaking a sweat. Poor Nirei, he seemed like the most vulnerable in this episode. Sakura's reflexes were pretty imprssive imo. Ofc, this episode would have some rough fights again and that new girl is caught in the middle of it. |

| 30 grown ass men vs 3 high schoolers. Who would win? 😂 Had forgot this was even an action series because we’d had so many wholesome episodes back to back. As usual, Cloverworks cooked today and I’m so proud of Nirei for coming into his own as a fighter. This felt like his coming out party. Cool to see another part of town in Keisei street it looks so lively, almost like a Takeshita street in Harajuku. Too bad we couldn’t see more of it because of the dudes chasing Shizuka. Must be real tough guys to send all those dudes after one girl 🤦🏽♂️. I loved Nirei and Suo’s training arc sm. Nirei’s come such a long way from the scared kid we saw in the KEEL arc. He might not have it all together yet, but he’s getting there and I’m so happy for him! It’s sweet how much of an impact Sakura has already had on the rest of the group and he doesn’t even know it. It’s pretty dope Sakura and the boys may have just ended a longstanding beef between Furin and Roppo Ichiza now that they helped out Nakamura and his crew lol. Nakamura seems cool af and I feel like they could be older brother figures to a lot of the Bofurin gang! Tsubaki pole dancing?!!! Hello???! Cloverworks really wanted to flex their muscles in this episode, nice mix of slice of life, wholesome and action. Exactly what makes wind breaker so good. I love this series and these boys sm. can’t wait for next ep. |

| Pole dancing Tsubaki ❤️ |
| You know what’s funny? Two high schoolers beat up all those grown-ups. We got some really good fight animation with Sakura cooking those guys. Now it looks like the main arc of the season has picked up, as Sakura has met the other important characters of the arc. By the looks of it, this isn't Shizuka's first time getting into trouble, while Kanji seems like a good-hearted person but is quick to jump to conclusions. It was funny when Sakura's hair twitched, sensing the romance between Shizuka and Kanji like antennae. Bro has some ability to sense love. I knew that Nirei would start training, but we never saw it until now. The byproduct of his training is here; now all he needs is a little confidence and self-belief. I'll admit that Tsubakino has some nice moves, but it seems Sakura isn't one for pole dancing. |

| I asked for more action, and I got it, but I'm still annoyed... They had to fall back on "rescue a woman in distress" yet again. How many times has it been, since Season 1? It's also the same pattern of demolishing like 30 goons, who were all chasing after the one woman (for what reason, and why that headcount? They never say). This time it's a bunch of adults, Yakuza thugs, no less... At least there's been a change in setting and new characters, so I'm interested in what they get up to. |
| Wait, wait. I need to get this straight. Tsubaki is pole dancing for adult men in the red light district, while the boys somehow end up at the local branch of Like a Dragon? What's going on? Judging by the number of bandits, I suspected that Ichiban and Kiryu's world wasn't very well educated, but to this extent... @perseii It seems like the author is caught between two fires, both adding significant female characters and maintaining the all-male nature of the narrative. |

There's been at least 3 occasions that I can remember, including Kotoha, and it was eyeroll-inducing the first time. |
| ...welp. To quote Sakura: なんだよ、これ？🤨 |
| suo is my one eyed goat ending is crazy tho |

| Making some opps and friends in the red-light district, it's cool that Nirei is starting to fight. White hair girl seems cool, also lmao Tsubaki doing some pole dance |
 |
| As much as I hate this show, any show with a femboy immediately makes me interested... and your telling me he's a STRIPPER AS WELL??? Yeah, this season is officially better than last season... by a MILE. |
 |
| I like the reaction of Sakura and Suou, the first well went to the wrong neighborhood and what to leave what is it, after the made way, the reaction of the second is always with a smile and complete calmness, and dance Tsubaki on the pole spoiler already in the opening. |
| finally, after a long time, a good fight that I've been waiting for .... (ФωФ) I want to see tsubaki's fight now (^.^)~~~ |

| I just KNEW the bookworm was learning how to fight! And he should too, just to avoid being a drain on his friends. Oooh a red light district fist brawl. Nice. Well, all I can say is I surely was NOT expecting to see pole dancing on Windbreaker. Color me shocked. |
 |
| Finally a fight after so long. Amazing moves from the trio btw. And lol at the end. |
| A masterpiece of an episode. Hayato is aura-farming as usual, while Haruka ain't letting stupid stuff slide. But most importantly, loved Akihiko defending Shizuka by tripping that thug, that was the first time he actually stood up for someone physically. He’s always been helpful to the boys, like when he called the seniors back against Keel, but this felt different. This time, he didn’t just assist with a call or stand on the sidelines, he took action. Really proud of him. Akihiko aside, this feels like the start of a new arc, though I’m a bit unclear on the direction. I’m 100% sure the thugs Bofurin beat in this episode are going to send their leaders after Bofurin for revenge, like trying to cover for their underlings, and i'm all here for it! |

@perseii they only had to "rescue a woman in distress" twice, calm down
| @Spoof_490 Nope. I went back and checked. - Kotoha got rescued twice in Episode 1. - Nirei stands up to some goons harassing a shop clerk, gets beat up for it before Sakura comes to the rescue. - That chill pink-haired guy rescues a random girl getting harassed, and the whole crew has to fight off the goons later. That's just the ones I found. That's not to mention the middle schoolers that Sakura rescued, which kicked off the entire Shishitoren arc. Almost every event in the story started off with some girl getting rescued. I mean, come on... They couldn't come up with some different scenarios? |

Two things:
1. We get her backstory, we do learn why they're chasing her and why there are so many.
2. Roppo Ichiza are just *barely* adults. They're mostly 18-20 y/o. Though if you mean the guys they beat up and not the Roppo Ichiza.. well. They'll explain why they were there (back to the 1st point)
| @amentet 1. Did we? Who were they and why were there so many? I genuinely missed it and couldn't find it when I skimmed the episode again. 2. I was talking about the thugs that Sakura and friends beat up. They looked pretty old. I just find it weird that these teenagers can beat up grown-up yakuza with about the same level of effort as beating up other teenagers and harassers, but I do enjoy a beatdown so I'm not too hung up on that. |

| @perseii you haven't seen Tokyo Revengers yet? Well, chill—it’s not the same in every scenario if you understand the main idea. |

| @perseii My point is that even though it's shonen and all, these kinds of works often suffer from the fact that the audience only wants a one gender cast. I still remember the author of Hitoribocchi literally reassuring people on Twitter that her male classmates wouldn't have much of a focus. |

| The animation before ending really hilarious and unexpected XD |
