In all honesty, I can see Bossun's background is the most feasible of the 3 of them. I mean his is a definite tragedy, yet it IS more likely to happen. Heart-breaking but it was awesome at the same time.

For a light-hearted comedy series the main characters sure have some dark and depressing histories.

Haru was really pretty so it's good that Ryousuke chose her imo. But really, I knew it that this kid is Tsubaki... So that's where they got something in common :p. And Rumi was cutter when she was younger... I really don't like how she looks like when she grows up... I guess that's because of her mom genes(I don't like her either) :D

So all in all from the three of Sket Dan's stories, Switch's one is by far the most dramatic one.

His mom looks better with short hair. She should cut them short again.

Good story but Switch is more tragic.
Who is Rumi's dad and Beelzebub reference at the end.

To be honest I'm not a fan of these flashback episodes. Yeah, maybe they were in manga, but still they really don't work. When you got an anime where people can become babies by drinking magic potions or theres's a group searching missing candy paper, you really can't do epic shit and believe that people buy it. Flashback episodes were too heavy & depressing for such anime as this and that's why they felt forced. It also felt like I watched something else than Sket Dance and I didn't signed for that.

But oh well, maybe people who love cliches liked this, but these just made me puke..

Now I see the significance of Tsubaki in the opening song. And it seems that it was also Tsubaki's parents who helped Bossun's mother to give birth.. just wow.. how all the strings of fate can be like this..

Last episode set a pretty sad mood with the twist but this honestly was just a "straight-line", it wasn't bad I liked it. But there was no impact for me, I think it could've done better. Switch's was saddest for me >.<!

So he shares his birthday with the death of his father in addition to the birth and death of his mother. Really, that goes beyond "coincidence". It must suck to have your birthday on the day both of your parents died.
Some parts of this post may be exaggerated.

wow...it makes me cry seriously... Boussun's parents are dead and thank goodness his mothers best friend take care for him... and why Boussun's step mother didn't tell him the secrets in the first place? Well 3 main characters.. about their past memory so pain...

Boussun- His parents died which his father saved the child from the car accident and his mother another got car accident then after that he was born,unfortunately his mother died.
Switch- His brother died which is together with his friend, the other friend murdered to Switch's brother.
Hime- She was been experience in the past at middle school her friend got betrayed cause from her friend gathered a bunch of bullying girls to pay for it to betray her.

The MCs all had such touching stories to them. Also I didn't realize who it was Bossun rescued earlier until I looked more closely at his eyes...that was awkward.

Awww... So Tsubaki become like that because of Bossun?
Oh.. I thought it's the present day... Not a reminiscence of his past...

God fucking dammit I cried. Nearly made it to the end too, but the ending monolouge killed me. Did Akane pick out Bossun's name? "Yusuke" kinda sounds similar to "Ryosuke" but if she tried to name him after his parents, why didn't she see if there's a name where "Haru" could fit in too? And those shots of Switch and Himeko were nice touches. I really like how the kid Ryosuke saved came back too. Every once in a while in the news there will be stories where both the parents die, and there'll be a mention of how they're survived by their child(ren), but that's the end of it and you never hear more, so as cliche as the 'never knowing one's parents' troupe is, I thought this was a nice take on it.

Man.. this was really good. Makes me wish all of Sket Dance was more on the serious side, but at the same time, these episodes wouldn't be as much of a treat if they were more frequent.

Hated it.
This is not what i want to see when watching SKET dance, sure yeah great background or whatever, waste of time if your looking for the same lighthearted silliness that series is known for.
Hated it.

I thought that Switch's and Himeko's backstory would be more sad than Bossun's. Oh boy, I was wrong.

That strong emotional resonance. It is really sadness that Bossun lost his parents on the day of his birth.

Wow a great part that had me on the verge of tears cus I’m a sucker for these things. Akane is a great mother. Now that the sad stories are out of the way I guess the rest of the time is back to silliness

Damn it Taisuke and what's with your dad? Guess he just looked away for a second again. Knew it when I saw the ball last episode.

Akane gotta feel guilty too since she ain't the best driver:S

There's also the fact that Bossun was inspired by his dad that was hinted at previously, we even had somewhat of a title drop when he protected VP.

One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron

It's not bad but WTF how unrealistic it was xD Meeting the one that got saved by the father directly after learning the truth what a timing, and the guy had the present with him to give it to Bossun, another car accident the same day they didn't even try to find something different, moral of the story just stop all the cars that day lmao
