Didn't used to think much of this earlier on, but it has been slowly but surely, steadily growing on me man. So far this has definitely been a great place to get a weekly dose of wholesomeness.

I agree that the scenes with Futaba and Aharen were really funny but one thing you have to ask is how did Futaba get that idea in her head in the first place... that was a little graphic for a grade schoolers imagination.

People tend to underestimate what grade schoolers know or think about. I know I would myself if at one point I hadn't actually remembered what we were like at that time ourselves.

The Pokémon battle in the beginning was great, and it’s hilarious they used stuff that actually exists in Pokémon, like the focus sash that let’s you live on 1 and the priority move that lets you move first lol, this is like war flashbacks for me because I’ve been doing tournaments with my friends lately lol. I also really liked the Futaba and Aharen bit, I really like their moments together and I hope to see more bits like that.

I also liked the wide Raido bit, weird how he randomly gained weight out of nowhere but he worked it off thinking it was Aharen wanting to go on a diet lol. And Aharen really likes cleaning apparently, she brought the whole arsenal lol, and the final hug at the end was wholesome, so wholesome Aharen started strangling Raido.

This episode was filled with a good portion of references, but the obvious Pokemon Go parody was the stand-out part of the entire episode for me. Not only were Raidou and Aharen's Pokemon choices amusing in terms of design, but Aharen's "Pokemon" adopted the infamous F.E.A.R strategy of a level 1 Pokemon (Rattata being the one that comes to my mind) having a focus sash, then using endeavour to bring the opponent to the same 1hp, then using quick attack to finish the opponent off.

Honestly, it gave me a good dose of nostalgic vibes when I used to play Pokemon Diamond and trained my Pokemon semi-competitively back then. ^_^

Futaba returned and her annoyance of Aharen being better than her at the crane game was funny, even more so when she imagined Aharen with expressions that she'd never do, but made it all the more funnier. Still, at least she finally got the plushie she needed so that she could get closer to the boy that she likes, who treats Aharen like a ruler, as was shown previously.

The rest of the episode with Raidou's yoyo-weight and the study sessions were nice, too. The highlight here was Aharen giving Raidou a hug and after hearing his praise of words for her, she actually gave off a small smile for a second.

Simply precious... =3

The best episode so far.

Raido vs Aharen was HILARIOUS 😂

I'm worried about how did no one notice Raido was fat before???

Aharen teaching the little girl to win a prize was beautiful 😍

That hug at the last part and that little smile ❤️ (I'm sure that was a smile, don't judge me) wholesome 😭

Kinda just a lil fact but this episode to me really reminisct Pokemon because it situates where the player is employed by a swarm of low-level pokemon with rapid attacks and a charm or feature called to endure to constantly survive with one health point. Unfortunately, he was "barred" from the tournament because most players couldn't beat him at that point. Later on, he did lose to players who also had swift strikes and were faster.

I agree. That was so wholesome. Did you watch the after credit scene by any chance? XD that mood chagne was so sudden but what can you expect from a comedy anime XD. (Also i understand your reference at the end with you "Nipah!" ;)
Yeah I did watch the after credit scene-was pretty funny xD.

This was good. Aharen being adorable as usual, the hug scene in the last part was really heart warming, that was a cute little hug.

IDK if that pokemon monsters were CGI or not but that dragon or whatever looked good, didn't look out of place. The way Shirorin won was fun.

I'm starting to like that little annoying girl, her scene's are fun.

Raido sleeping with all the plushies Aharen gifts him is cute and him having that nightmare about losing the match was hilarious.

Fat Raido came abruptly and went abruptly, IDK what happened and why that happened.

Pretty cute episode overall, 5/5.

The end of an era. Thank you Wit, Mappa and Isayama.
Feeling half happy, half sad.

Of all the help Raido has given Aharen, he was already able to reciprocate in some way and managed to teach him in the exams, if he had his efforts, all is still well.

Well, this is really a funny great episode as well... They played pokemon and I thought Raido will win against Aharen but well, it is the opposite so we should've underestimated Aharen-san... And I can say, the characters are increasing episode by episode so, I'm looking forward to the next episode and looking forward to the next character that will appear in the show.

This anime is damn filled with references, we have another JoJo one, Pokemon, The Ancient Magus Bride for some reason, Spy x Family and Koroshi all of all anime, plus more. Yeah it's fun to spot some.

Also power move with Aharen and Raido thanking each other for all that they've done with one another, nice scene there maybe with a hint of rom---

Lots of reference in this episode from Raidou's delusions about Aharen-san, LOL

___ ___ ___

I stopped playing Pokemon after they released Sword and Shield.

Cause the game costed 90 USD (60 + DLC) + 15 Pokemon Home + 20 Nintendo Online = 125 USD, and I couldn't afford it... (that's for 1 game too, Pokemon came in pairs, so 250 USD for both game, cause you can't share 1 account of Pokemon Home and Nintendo Online on both games, if you want to trade between them from 2 separate Switch) (which the switch would also cost 200 USD each (300 if original)) Way to costly to play pokemon now...

(whereas before it would just cost 100 (or less) for game device + 60 game that lasts for about 2 years, cause I skip most remakes, and you can easily (wonder) trade without paying a Sub)

But I still remember all the movesets and strats.

Aharen-san did some interesting moves here. (tho I don't think there's any Pokemon with those movesets)

That was another great episode, I just love seeing their friendship bloom.
Even without any hint of romance so far, they are on a good friendship frequency.
Clingy Aharen san, generally I like how close they are with eachother without feelings of embarrassment. I missed this kind of being in nearly every anime, but in this show it's so wholesome and feels just right.

I also want to be hugged by Aharen san so cute OMG

Okay, in the last episode I said that Aharen being an Aspie might be why she was so into that fidget spinner, but now I'm thinking this manga was written a few years ago and is just doing all the trends from then. Fidget spinners, Pokemon GO! Next week Aharen's gonna start dabbing, isn't she?

Speaking of Pokemon GO!, that battle made no sense. Raido bred a perfect IV psuedo-legendary for competitive battle (so he's one of THOSE nerds), and Aharen has the tiny mascot from a few episodes back, holding a Focus Sash and with a priority move, but how did it hit a super effective move on the big guy? It was clearly an Electric move, and Raido's monster appears to be a Fire type. Unless it's Fire/Water? Which hasn't been done before. Either way that whole sequence was just chock full of references.

At least Raido got to add to his circle of sleep protection.

That hug and smile at the end...
This anime is really really great.

Also, that shot of Aharen with the gun is gonna be a meme, isn't it?

Pokemon is in this too well at least it's a bit like Pokemon GO, Shirorin vs Yankeeras (Charizard) prob that's OP and unbalanced lol rip bozo

Futaba is here and she seems desperate to get the prize too bad the king of crane games is beside her and she still is, That expressive Aharen is a rare sight to see I want to see more though

Raidou is going to get nightmares sleeping with like 10+ stuffed toys in his bed, what in the fuck that turned a bit dark and assassin Aharen is the least that I would want to see, That ending was wholesome it's so good probably the most one yet until Aharen decides to choke Raidou to death.
