K.K. is amazing! I'm glad she's got a supportive husband, she deserves him.
(On a side note, I think her eldest son is cuter, despite of what she said).

Steven is best boss! XD

Looks like we'll have some more Leo and Michella next episode. Looking forward to it!

So this episode focused more on K.K. and her relationship with her family. Her husband seems like a nice guy.

So the blood breed has a kid, huh? Or maybe he is just raising her.

Wow, I'm speechless...this episode is awesome...those feels...KK is sure lucky because she got an amazing husband who really understand her job and her position. And her relationship with her children is amazing too, she always try to be there for them but what can she do? Her job is really important too. I almost cry in the beginning when Kane is mad to KK and at the end when the Twinkle Twinkle Little Star is played, it's really hard to become a perfect parents for the children...I love this second season because it's not only about Leo, but all of the characters are involved in this season. Great job!!!

An episode focusing on KK has been long overdue, as even among the various members of Libra she has largely been overlooked this season. It was reasonably entertaining and amusing, I suppose, but I can't see myself remembering it for very long.

Woad didn't expect K.K. to be married(also has kids at that). It was a good thing he didn't kill that girl's father

Very fun episode, probably my favourite in this season so far, I like how this second season is more focused on showing you how the characters live outside of Libra. Can't wait to see what the 2 part finale will be about.

Zapp isn't that amazing compared to season 1. the ugly epic faces he makes there is just absolutely remarkable. I still remember the episode introducing the lucky detective. and I haven't seen any of that in this season.

as for this episode, this is why you don't have kids. it's just impossible to be a responsible parent. no matter what you do, you'd still end up hurting your very own kids that you love and protect so much.

Probably my favorite episode of the second season. I've wanted an episode dedicated to K.K. for the longest and this was freaking great.

The last episodes are going to be two-parters, and it seems they are going to be centered in Leo's sister. I'm really excited to see them.
The last two episodes are gonna be on the last few chapters of the first Kekkai sensen manga and will be all about the Eyes of the Gods.


So does this mean they've now adapted all of the skipped chapters from the first season?

No. It was kinda impossible for that to be the case, one of the chapters they skipped was a preamble to episode four of the first season, that gave us the backstory to one of the Blood Breeds they fought in said episode. Aside from that, there was a small chapter about K.K. using Leo to try and buy something for her son (I don't really remember a lot of the details about it outside of it was like twenty pages, in a convenient store, and it was fun) and there was a chapter with Klaus with at least one striking shot about the Yakuza I think (haven't read the manga in two years) that they missed out on. A little upset that we won't be getting that Klaus chapter it seems, but most of my favorite chapters were adapted (The Chain ones mainly). That said, I've only read the first seven volumes since I don't think Dark Horse has released the rest in English, so there's possibly more that was left out.

As for the episode itself, quite possibly my favorite of the season. Family drama typically tends to work pretty strong for me, and the scenes focusing on that, albeit handled in a humourous way, were really sweet and heartwarming. Looking forward to the two-part finale.

Mmmh...
Aiyä!

I am curious about something...
Why blood techniques are yelled at Spanish?
In this episode f.i. Starphase (his japanese seiyū, I mean) says: "¡Espada del cero absoluto!".

On latino forums they tell me "probably it's just sound aesthetics... maybe the author wants to make it look global..."
According what I know about Lightow (what a mess must be boiling inside that thunderhead he gets), I bet there's some other bizarre explanation.

Any idea?

I take this to mean that Stephen speaks Spanish, likely as his first language, given the name of his fighting style (Esmeralda). His name (Steven Alain Starphase) wouldn't necessarily reflect his origins, especially if his Latino.

For example my first last names is "Prince" which isn't a surname most Latin@s would have. Yet lots of people from all over Latin America (born and raised there just like I was) have English or French or Italian or German names or surnames, even though they might be from Mexico, Cuba, Brazil or Argentina and speak only Spanish and maybe English.

Likewise, it seems safe to assume Klaus is a German speaker. There'd be no reason to yell out "Kreuzschild Unzerbrechlich!" or "Ewigkeit Gefängnis!" (I'm spelling these from memory so forgive any spelling mistakes) otherwise, and he looks the part. Even Klaus could be Latino (I doubt it though) or American, though if German is indeed his first language then most likely he's European as German-speaking Americans (Latin or North) are fairly rare-ish.

As for the reason, it could be a characterization thing, to add further contrast between Klaus (noble, honest, transparent [naive in a way], straightforward) and Steven (mysterious, smooth, shady, lots of connections) so as to show why they work so well together, i.e. they complement each other.

K.K it shows us the love of a mother overwhelmed by work tries to give her son a place on the time giving the best of himself, knowing that her work has an obligation to the human race.

In general, I felt sad about this scene, but at the same time it was very funny XDD.

Excellent episode, to see how K.K is managing her roles as mother and member of Libra was really entertaining and so super cute.

This season is still doing a great job at making me care more for the cast.

Was a somehow ok episode but have ploblems:

1) Why the side characters are so useless without K.K and Steven?

2) The main villain is so obvious when he is speaking by phone. Thankfully, he at least have personality and don't fell generic unlike all villains from episode 1 (the other villain is generic).

3) The Blood Seed thing was cool but it left ambiguous.

4) K.K background is just a typical mother-son problem. I don't have anything against that but something that i saw many times.

I really liked this episode. I remembered KKs appearance. Didn't even remember she had kids. If that had been established prior. But this was a really fun one off episode. That balanced superhero antics and a characters human drama in a compelling way. That was very reminiscent of Silver Age American Superheroes. Always having to forego their personal lives for the greater good.

I thought the ending was a bit rushed. And the climax didn't deliver as well as the buildup to it did. But it showed the kind of short form antics this series is really great at. Looking forward to the next episode. As it seems to be the start of a two parter. That will delve into a part of the show I've been interested in to see them really address again.

I felt at first - why she has need a buildup episode?
But at the end - whoa this was honestly as good as normal Kekkai sensen episode!

But!! dat song twinkle twinkle little star song amuse me to hear in a show like this(or from any anime) which I sang as a kid as well ^_^

I guess at the end, if there is top 10 anime beach episode, then we should see another discussion - top 10 parent's day anime episode and this episode is a good example as a standalone.

Really great episode. K.K. is an awesome mom, and is surprisingly super cute too. This was one of the best episodes this season I think. This did a great job of fleshing out K.K.'s character.

I'm genuinely surprised she had a family, and even a husband at that. I always thought she had a thing for Klaus. Her husband seems like a great guy though.

I'm happy that she didn't kill that guy, despite him being a bloodbreed. I think they both understood each other to a point. At least the kids can still talk over social media. That was a nice little touch at the end there.

I agree. I like how each episode seems to focus on one character and fleshes them out in the weird world they live in.

Not having an overarching plot that distracts from the characters is brilliant.

So much humanity that is seen in this episode, together with so much comedy. The character of K.K. he is really nice and funny, too bad to have seen him little this season. The final part of the episode is very touching, fortunately that after the ending there is that small part of the episode that makes the context less dramatic and makes the world of social networks appreciated.

Pretty fun watching K.K. and the interactions between her and her family especially the overreactions she gave lol. To think a Blood Breed was raising a child and also struggling between work and their kid like K.K. makes me think they are not completely monsters.
