We finally get to see Arajin admit to Matakara he abandoned him after all. Looks like this show is about to pick up again in the end

Nah I see a lot of ppl hating on Arajin for telling Matakara off and tbh I get that the timing was bad since Matakara’s brother got stabbed and won’t make it (like it was a really bad time ong) but I’m happy Arajin finally worked up the courage to finally tell this delusional ass nigga to stop putting him on a pedestal, bros on the same level of delusion as Mahoro is for her brother😭😭😭

Mahoro isn’t that bad as ppl make her out to be, it’s not like she’s fake with her feelings or anything she just loves her brother a lot and doesn’t focus on anyone that isnt her bro😅🤷🏽‍♂️

So Matakara got his own stand- I mean Honki and tbh the design is looking fresh as hell it’s cool seeing MAPPA doing all these Arabian aesthetic themes in this show🔥🔥

The damage Arajin caused here far, FAR outweighs the good he did by finally telling off Matakara.

Now is not the time, Arajin, even if it was Matakara who brought up that topic. He keeps saying Matakara is not his buddy, but any normal human being would try to check in on an acquaintance and not put his own insecurities first when a guy's about to lose his big brother (and presumably the only family he's got).

I could not believe how Arajin just left Matakara behind, alone at night in that run-down temple. You do NOT leave a person, any person, in that mental state all by himself, when there's no telling what he might do to himself or to others. The least he could do was to just stay with him, or drop him off at home or with Minato-kai; as long as he did that, it would've been fine by me if he wanted to never see Matakara again.

I've only found Arajin mildly annoying so far, but in this episode his behavior was actually disturbing. I think he can still come back from this as a character, but wow, did he have to be this way...

I 100% agree with you there. It's even easier to accept Mahoro when the person she's stonewalling is a shit human being.

In an earlier conversation, Mahoro actually looked interested and sympathetic when Matakara brought up his own brother. So in that sense she actually has more basic human decency than Arajin does.

We all know that the blue oni will possess Matakara at some point but I totally didn't expect the process to be such a psychological breakdown like this.
@phantomfandom

I am just glad thaey both now have a stand.

Finally the part I was waiting for Ichiya merging with Matakara. I like the Arabian looking theme on him....and the nipple coverings. He kind of reminds of Princess Jasmine lol.

Weekly reminder that Arajin is an awful main character and awful person and just an active detriment to this show with every single second of screentime he gets.

At this point, I want Matakara to merge with the other oni and beat the living shit out of Arajin, but no doubt it's gonna be Arajin who comes out on top cos we're apparently meant to be rooting for him despite the show giving us zero reasons to do so.

Interesting episode. We find out Matakara’s brother is going to be released just for him to find out that his brother tried to stop a fight and was stabbed and probably won’t make it out. He then realizes Ara Chan is just a chicken who has always been weak and has a genie (Senya) inside of him that he uses for strength then to finish off the episode the one who should’ve been the main character of this anime matakara get his own genie (Shindo) and hopefully treats his new contractor better. I think this is all a plot but will see

I hope that Matakara finally getting his Djinn makes this show get better.

I wanna see how this ends, but I have to say I hate every single character in this show. They're all insuferable, specially the MC. I haven't hated an MC this much in a long time. I'm guessing he's suposed to get some character development and what not later, but I don't think that will be enough to save him.
@djfmurphy Yeah, I don't really remember when I saw a show that had so many insufferable characters.

Zabu's probably best boy in this awful story :S

MC can't really redeem himself, Mahoro's gushing over her brother's ab pics. I started watching this show accidentally, now I'm intrigued how worse can it get. This episode really hit rock bottom though, I don't know how you can get worse than this now.

Breakdown of communication between Arajin and Mahoro chan as usual. His mom is the best, Arajin would have better chance being (maybe friend) with her if he offer her his bento tbh and hearing what she said instead of translated it with roses colored lenses.

Pity Asamine brothers, they are such cinammon roll. Finally Arajin tell Matakara for who he is, an asshole, coward, weakling, not somekind of strong justice hero.Arajin should be relieve that all his secret and worry are out open. He don't even consider Matakara as his buddy, ouch.

Congratulation Arajin for breaking Matakara ideals on him while he was still grieving and in shock about his brother, maybe think of suitable time and places buddy.

Damn... a lot of plot development on this one. I hope Matakara's brother pulls through. Otherwise, it would be very sad. Matakara finally realized the truth about Arajin and Arajin finally had the courage to tell him with that. Good going boy. People can hate you all they want because you want to chase your own dreams and not be all buddy-buddy with someone. I really like you, still.

Ichiya finally confronts Matakara. What's next? I'm very excited to see where this gonna go from here on out.

Why did the creators make Arajin such a prick?! He’s such a dickhead and it makes it hard for me to care about the plot

Nice, I saw that plot point (with Ichiya possessing Matakara) coming, glad they went with this choice.

Happy to see more development in Matakara's relationship with his brother, also happy to see him become more important and contribute more to the plot. Really hope it stays that way with him taking over the show instead of arajin.

Speaking of arajin, he is as annoying and insufferable as before, but I liked that moment with him and Matakra, a nice development in their character relationship which also has the potential for arajin's character arc and redemption.

Yeah, everything building up to the big "return" was for a return that (it became obvious because of rain starting and no dialogues) didn't happen and now things go from bad to worse. Rarely seen a more unlikable main character before. Now Matakara seems bound to receive a dark arc, coming from experience i can understand how.
