Kinta got that massive Gundam fan energy going for him. I can understand him though. I'd also be puzzled if suddenly a guy like Okarun was hanging around with the high school hotties.
@Farabeuf I think the thing with Kinta is.... He assumes he is a nerd, he owns it and doesnt hide it. Isnt shy about it. But in high school that can be lonely if you dont have no one to share your interests, specially if you are socially awkward. I was one but i was more "inside the closet" nerd, was easier to hang out lmao. Okarun other hand, isnt a "closed" nerd but is shy and tries not to bother people, so yah, from the outside that can be a real mystery, specially with the most popular girl in school.

I also think class president may become another in Okarun girl circle.

And now we have a Kaiju/Godzilla in this, how no one is going to notice this?

I have no idea what I just watched but it was fun.

Now that I think about it, Okarun's sudden popularity must seem quite strange to everyone around him. Momo, Aira, and Jiji are all up there in terms of social hierarchy, after all. Kinta's reaction is justified. I just hope he realizes soon that Momo is literally talking about Okarun's singular ball, in a non-spicy way, or I can see his character getting annoying. He's really entertaining so far though.

Momo really needs to learn not to talk about Okarun's balls so loudly. Poor guy actually thinks that he can use spicy talk to win over ladies like Okarun.

It's a good thing the entire apartment seems to be empty. However, they will need the entire area to be empty after this battle.

Kinta is rather quirky and pretty amusing. I do like how they implemented him into the same situation of failing to find Okarun that Momo had back in the previous season before spotting the pair having an accidental kiss at the same time Momo's friends did. XD

His first impression upon Momo was badly received since he also wants to talk the way she and Okarun do, the poor guy. Hopefully Kinta will have his chance to really shine, especially as all 3 of them are caught up in a situation dealing with a tricky enemy powered by Okarun's sole missing balls. For it to turn into a kaiju-sized beast was unexpected, but also has me hyped up to see ow the hell they can take on the enemy of that size.

I just checked, and the flash back to ep 5 does not exist in the manga, I am curious if it was just some padding because this season is GOING OFF and they have already worked so hard on it. Maybe needed a little break. This episode also only covers 2 chapters of the manga. That seems like less than normal…

Damn, they really take recycling seriously.

I get the animators want a break, but man, they really spent 1/3 of the episode on one joke using recycled scenes from season 1. If that isn't the definition of laziness, I don't know what is.

The "dirty joke" for those that dont get it:

-Kintama = Golden Ball
Kintama is also used to refer to testicles (which is why Okarun's balls are golden).
-Sakata Kinta = Sakata Kintoki (Golden Boy).

To Kinta, Momo and Okarun kept talking about balls all this time.

lot of debut of great character this episode we have kinta and we have rin/class rep, we need to wait for season 4 for rin though but that arc was peak and kinta is peak this episode i love they add a lot of anime original scene and im guessing its to make the kinta more likable i guess even though the goat is already likable enough they make him even more likable when he debut that always great, and there are some bad scenes if want to nitpick but i don't really care this episode fulfill my expectations, and its also quite sad they didn't add the pure beef wang line and also the vamola's design is better in the manga i just love the ultraman reference

next episode is the kaiju fight and well that fight is going to so random, i'm looking forward to see how they're going to animate the mecha i don't hope its cgi but if it is then so be it i don't really have high expectation for the mecha itself but i'm looking forward to it, in the manga its peak though of course

No one told me that this anime was a harem. Like where the heck did this class president come from and why should we care about her. She never talked to Okarun until now and honestly just feels like another girl to add drama to Okarun and Momo’s relationship. Like at least we got a reason as to why this new guy hasn't talked to Okarun until now, but what's her excuse? Overall this episode was decent, but one of the weaker ones of this season. Lastly, where is Jiji? Did Momo just leave Evil Eye unattended?

Do people actually like this character? I thought they were just memes. He looks and acts pathetic.
I don't remember people getting overhyped like this with Daru from Steins;Gate.

Tbh, I honestly think people like characters like him and to some extent Okarun because they're more relatable and easier to identify with. I've been seeing way more people glaze this character than anyone else. They also just may find his humor appealing I guess

Yeah seeing Okarun not being able to defend Momo was definitely character regression because in season 1 and just recently with Evil Eye, he showed that he was willing to protect Momo from slander and physical harm

Dandadan about to outdo Kaiju No.8 at its own game 💀

And as if being molested in almost every arc wasn't enough, now Momo has to deal with an unfunny ugly bastard-looking classmate lusting after her smh.
But seriously, and here I thought Jiji's character introduction was cringe...

Random glasses dude got the drip frfr 😆 having that many pairs of glasses to fall back on. May as well have an endless supply. And Momo waiting on our guy🙏 of course. So they had this guy following them all along that episode 🤔 huh. That guy XD funny he just exists.

I'll never tire from the banger Dandadan OP 🫡 100%

I guess glasses dude is trying.. even if he doesn't have a girl to randomly bump lips with.

When you yell out loud how you found a guy's nut 😆 oh boy. But I guess they're now on the golden ball case. Would gladly cushion Momo's fall. Girl out here swinging around like Spiderman.

Uh.. there's the kaiju 😓 powered by the golden ball. Like how the classical is still amping up the background 🙏 but ye. This will be a fight.

3 episodes until the end of the season we get introduced to this creep, great. I don't know what the need for him was but I already hate him. While Okarun actually grew and became cool as a result so much so that people actually started recognizing him, this one only makes bad jokes, sneaks up on people and has no social awareness. Will we get to like him by episode 12? I have my doubts.

Very funny episode!
Kinta is the perfect name for someone who makes 'ball jokes'. Ahahah, that was enjoyable.

Also, the comedy is on spot with the Gundam references.

And I love the kaiju at the end, a sort of Godzilla.

This ep was Kinta’s introduction which they executed perfectly for the first few minutes BUT personally I think the reuse of the school scene from an earlier episode was not the best move to continue Kinta’s introduction. If they made a different scenario that involved Kinta I feel I would have been a bit more invested as I was wondering off during that scene.

Kinta is a very hit or miss character at the moment. Im not the biggest fan of him for now but maybe some character development will change my opinion.

Also the introduction of the class rep was very random during Momo and Ken’s class chat, like how is Momo the bother but Kinta running around with his figure and singing not! It was almost like she wanted Ken to not have a friend or someone that he can talk to and return him to his former lonesome self. Ya it’s probably because she got a crush on Ken but it’s all too sudden in this episode.

Definitely agree with you, Ken had no reason to be that indecisive after all that he has gone through and what has happened between him and Momo. This episode was could have done so much more.

I'm a little confused. When does this episode take place?
I thought first part was just showing this new character had been there the whole time but then after that they started talking about finding Okarun's family jewels. And I'm like "didn't they already find them???
And if they had all this interaction with him before the latest parts in more recent episodes...why suddenly does he exist??

Nerd vs. Geek ahh rivalry. Okarun is now ballin with the damsels. But he's not ballin with balls unfortunately. Who would've thought an enlarged toy Godzilla would have his golden glories? Good stuff.

What an introduction! This new character is so fun and lively. I can relate to being full of energy on the way to school and quieting down as you get there.

I thought the framing was so creative with the redo of the scenes from season one. The only note I have is that, this whole time, from seeing him in the ED, I thought the guy was supposed to be middle-aged. ^^'

Also, the class president is cool as well. She reminds me of Conan Edogawa in her design.

The kaiju is such a great adversary! I can't wait for the next episode!
