This Gravel group looks like a group of rebels. Unfortunately, Shizuka is their target and it was up to Sakura and his friends to stop them.

Got the old fashioned Wind Breaker style fight as expected mixed with some music. Tsubakino also showed their fighting skills and imo, it was badass.

“Girls always have one or two secrets” I’d almost gone two weeks without crying to windbreaker so of course they had to break my streak this week with Shizuka 😭 what an episode, this is shaping up to be my fave yet I’m so excited. Tsubakino supremacy!!!!

Shizuka get behind me!! We will protect you. Idk what she’s running from, but Shizuka has finally found a place where she belongs with people, and the man she loves. I’ll die about protecting her from these Gravel people and apparently the rest of the cast feel the same way lol. Idk what it’s called, but the OST that plays during that scene is soooo good too. They’ve played it during a lot of the emotional moments and it always hits.

“Those who make fun of things that people like usually aren’t satisfied with themselves” not only is that the realest shit ever from Tsubakino, but I think that’s probably at the core of this fight. Idk who hired Gravel, but it’s apparent that the leader got really upset seeing Shizuka have all these people willing to defend her. Remember gravel come from the absolute trenches and barely have food to eat, so seeing what seem to be well-off people has to set them off.

The twins in action finally!! Holy shit Cloverworks thank you!! Their coordination and tag team fighting style is amazing. The fact they ain’t let anyone touch a hair on Tsubakino as he walked up to gravel leader was so fire lol. Speaking of which, beating ass in heels is INSANE Tsubakino the icon you are.

Gravel leader got extra pissed off about Tsubakino wearing makeup, don’t think it’s a homophobia thing, more so just his anger at people having enough money to buy non essential things while his people are starving. I get that honestly, this is about more than just money now. It’s an ideological battle. Can’t wait for next episode.

I know that making it dramatic was necessary for the plot, like having Shizuka run away to get captured so that Kanji and the others wouldn't get hurt, but all this cheesy drama wasn't something I really enjoyed.

Where did the twins even come from? Like, seriously? They just appeared between Sakura and Shizuka out of nowhere. Still, I loved seeing them fight with their perfectly synchronized moves. But I didn't like how the few CGI NPCs were moving in a stance while they were standing beside that guy who’s their leader during the conversation.

I didn't expect Tsubakino to fight well in heels, but then again, he never moved much. That whole makeup talk, how it's his ideal self, how having a heart makes him stronger, and how the other guy can never defeat him... I don't see how any of that is relevant to the show or what kind of agenda it's starting to push. There are characters without hearts or feelings who are stronger than most, so having a heart or feelings is irrelevant in a fight. It all depends on the person, not on some fixed idea.

If it's just one character, it can work, but if more individuals like Tsubakino appear, then I fear the worst for the show.

Can't take this seriously, I swear. As in even beyond the usual anime tropes and such, just... geez. Lots of laughs but not because of actual jokes or humour. The heels are bad enough but how's anyone fight in sandals like that without tripping over? Someone def watched Matrix a lot though, the fight scenes- shall I say the choreographies aren't bad for sure, the animation and image quality though are kinda just so-so.

Now, then. Where do I get my own twin aides, please?

Knew exactly the type of character Shizuka would be and we'd get this cliche bs the moment I saw her situation and hear Ueshama's voice. It's like she's single handedly voicing this trope all by herself lol. Anyway was hyped to see Tsubaki fight. Tsubaki's big and strong but also very flexible. The twins are in perfect sync, the perfect duo. Didn't really get that excited watching the fight though. Probably cause the tone.

The fighting in the streets continues! This gang Gravel is just pouring numbers and numbers of people at our squad. An endless flow of goons who are just as sadistic as their leader. Kanji and Roppo Ichiza are trying their best to hang tough but its not quite working. Absolutely brutal seeing them take so much damage and not make a dent in the enemy force's numbers. Sakura and Suo are doing their best to help but even that isn't much. There's just too many of these guys. They might not have quality but after a certain point, numbers become overwhelming no matter how strong you are. Shizuka makes the hard choice to try and plead with Gravel to just take her and leave everyone alone. I definitely understand where she's coming from, all that pain on your behalf would be tough to see. Nirei is right though, if she goes now then it will have all been for nothing. Kanji thankfully trusts Sakura enough to task him with keeping her safe. Just as Tsubaki and the twins arrive as fresh backup. Which is exactly what our guys needed! Some fresh legs to reinvigorate everyone. The twins tag team moves had me shocked! Those were wild, real quality tag team. Tsubaki calmly walking right up to Gravel leader was cool as hell. Their brief fight so far was awesome! Looking forward to Tsubaki showing out more!

Marvelous episode. I can’t believe Tasuku finally joined the fight, especially since he went straight for Shuuhei, the boss, with his sidekicks clearing the path for him. Seriously, dang.

Bro started aura farming the moment he jumped in. I can’t even imagine how his fight with Shuuhei will turn out, but I’m 100% rooting for Tasuku all the way to the moon and back.

The fight felt a bit nostalgic too, it’s once again psychopathy versus good, just like Hajime versus Choji back in the first season of this anime. Can’t wait to see how this one plays out.

Just how stupid does this look? Shizuka runs away from some old fart only to casually entrust herself to a random guy who walks her straight into the red-light district and invites her to sing at his bar. Nothing suspicious at all.

I just knew when I saw the Ayanokoji twins in the opening credits that they were going to be lethal lol. Tsubaki-chan is a total beast and I love it.

Each and every blow in the Tsubaki vs. Manbun fight was mesmerizing. Same with the twins. The animation was not as clean this week, but the choreography was still fun and detailed.

Manbun's fighting style was interesting, the way he seemed to swing his arms instead of throwing a punch.

Jesus fuck the AD and comp is so shit here it's not even funny.

And I thought the villans were corny and lame enough already last episode, but here come even cornier ones this episode along with yet another corny scene with that stupid ass "wHEn i..." song that they have spammed like six different times now.

Wouldn't even care about the above if the animation actually kept up, but god bro like there's ambition here, but the execution just isn't quite there.

Oh now everyone has joined the fray. Why does this feel like one of those shows like Les Miserables where everyone has to die so 1 or 2 people can get a "happy" ending? Except here they won't die they'll just get beaten up.

But hey all the Sakuga fighting is back!

It's time for Tsubaki-chan to show everyone what he is made of and he dances pretty good. The twins were really cool too.
SMH Shizuka if people are fighting and getting hurt for your sake don't spit on their effort by giving up. You owe it to them to be as strong, in your own way, as they are.

Gotta hand it to Seiryu and Uryu. They both got hands and ridiculous teamwork. Reminds me of a Tag team in wrasslin. Also DAMN TSUBAKI. Love or hate em they got a point about being the person you are and they also got hands as well just to prove it.

I hate shit that make everything sound dramatic as it seems and proceed to write the corniest dialogues known to fiction. The writing is genuinely awful oh my god.

the formula is also dogshit, what happened last arc was just reskinned except the author can't shut up about tsubaki being gay

Finally a proper 1V1, another episode of heat actions goodness, animators went wild, i still don't care much about the melodrama and all the crying but the clash of ideas between tsubakino doing things he likes without caring about judgement while the other guy fights for survival was pretty interesting, legit tsubakino's the most badass character of the show rn.

edit: also i have to point out that Tsubakino's fighting style being more like a dance is such a cool concept when you think about it

I find it funny how some people are saying how second season is worse than first but I actually feel quite opposite. Tsubakino is a really cool character, and almost every scene with her is amazing.
