| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Oo, more of a peaceful episode this week. I think Samurai Flamenco works this way much better. Masayoshi and Maya almost looked like they are on a date this episode. Still gotta protect this world~ The idols getting along together again is nice sight to see imo. |
 |
| Well shit. Gotou is mental. |
 |
| O SNAP what can i say |
| Gotou's mental and that littke kid from EP1 is some crazy shit. Oooh flamenco... |
| Oh, my... poor Gotou-san... I can't believe... Now I remembered somebody on this forum predicted it! And this scene from first OP with sad Gotou-san with bouquet of roses... |
    |
| Wow, what a change of pace xD I like it pretty much, but still, I want a more elaborated answer about those things that happened in episode 18. I trust this Director, and I want him to give a more logical sense for all that already, we are almost at episode 22! The ending is coming (I bet a lot of people is now thinking "Thank God" and shit, but still, I want so bad this show to have an awesome ending that is not random bullshit lol) But yeah, I guess they are going to relate some things to what happened at episode 7 B.G.(Before Gorilhotine) 3.5/5 (for this episode only). |
 |
| asides from the President of the World nonsense and the short check-ins with the Flamengers, you can pretty much chop out all the craziness of Guillotine Gorilla to the meeting with God (for now). |
 |
| That was a shocker. Poor Gotou. We have a new villain? Can't wait for the next episode. |
 |
| Really?! Out of all the twists they could have used for Goto's gf they had to choose this one were Goto has mental psycho issues <_< Shit! The only thing I was looking forward to this series was a let down T_T Well I'll finish it anyway...3 more eps and as usual another 'Shit got real" at the end XD It's become so normal these days lol...The kid from the first eps has gone psycho too XD Maaaaiika -.- |
 |
| in case anyone forgot, the speech Sawada gave at the end was the same one Masayoshi said when confronted the middle-school delinquents at the beginning of the series |
|
| SAMURAI FLAMENCO IS NUMBER ONE ANIME |
| poor goto |
| President of the world? Oh and poor Goto. Anyway, I thought that kid might be important way back near the middle, when he showed up in that Flamengers episode. |
| Ha! I knew it, I knew it when we didn't even get to see a glimpse of the girlfriend until now...but poor guy And anyone here was expecting a horror twist? The way he lost his girlfriend, doesn't it seem like one of those urban legend/horror story? |
| The biggest question of all has finally been answered. It would be hilarious if Goto's girlfriend is still alive and she is on the side of the final evil threat. |
| Finally we got to see something new about Goto's girlfriend. Aaand the next villains are... child terrorists? |
| I hope this doesn't turn out to be another alien.. I like the more realistic route and think the show works better this way |
ponygon123 said: Wow Goto is insane I have no recollection of this kid at the end >< was with that group of kids that were beating Masayoshi up in 1st ep. (also showed up in store in episode 12) Then he gave them that epic speech. Hence what the kid was repeating when he ran into him at the end |
| So his girlfriend is dead huh..or atleast vanished. And I hope they don't use the crazy person Mari to help with Goto's problems... |
 |
| Well the biggest mistery has been answered. Poor Goto. I have to say that Mari and Hazama are very poor friends intruding on Goto's personal life like that, no matter what his mental health issues are. That was poor form on their behalf, specially Hazama who is his friend. At least Mari has the excuse that she's in love with him. Whoever knew that Flamengo Pink would be such a little ojou-sama in her pretty kimono? I remember someone in this forum predicting that that kid at the end was going to be important. Good catch whoever you were. |

| Ohhhhh I called it. I think I've read something similar to this cellphone deal so this was one of my theories. Oh Goto. Hopefully Masayoshi can help him out. And they brought back that minor character in one of the earlier episodes! A pretty good episode I'd say. Marzan said: Well the biggest mistery has been answered. Poor Goto.

That was poor form on their behalf, specially Hazama who is his friend. At least Mari has the excuse that she's in love with him. Well Masayoshi himself was really happy for Goto I don't think he had any intention to stalk him; that was Mari dragging him into it, and he was worried that she'd do something to ruin their date. Unlike Mari, he didn't go charging into the scene, though. I hope he manages to help Goto, though. |
| Gotou is the final boss I KNEW IT !!!!!!!!!! T________T WHY!!!!! |
| Poor Goto. Oh well, we knew the deal with his girlfriend couldn't end well. The way the hints had been piling up she couldn't just appear and be a normal person. Did not expect the kid from episode 1 (or was it 2?) to show up again. Curious to see where this goes. |
| 3 to go and we have another villain, who is showed on the 1st ep. also...And the fact that Goto is crazy |
| One thing. Is it just me or the visual quality is getting worse and worse? I remmember the first episodes having pretty good visuals, but now i can't seem to have the same opinion. |
| So Gotou has been doing this for four or five years? (considering that his girlfriend disappeared in high school, and he's been on the police force for some time) And no-one had done anything to pull him out of his delusional relationship? Well in some ways it isn't surprising since before Hazama and Mari appeared on the scene, it looks like he didn't have any close personal relationships. Well if Mari is the first person to try and take action to snap him out of it, more power to her! I also liked the way she is keeping this to herself and not trying to talk it out with her friends--even though she's hurting inside. And if Mari, or something else, can break through to Gotou and bring him back to the point where he can have a real relationship, I'm perfectly happy if it is with her. |
Please don't feed the trolls! In my next life I want to collide at the corner with the cute transfer student carrying a piece of toast in her mouth...rodac |
| At first glance people would laugh but obviously Gotou needs help.. What happened to him is very sad indeed but someone should've found out about this.. It's been years since her disappearance .. In the long run letting him keeping him doing that to himself is a bad idea.. Even though they went about this the wrong way I'm glad Mari and Hazama got to the bottom of it. They both care about him and mean no ill will so its good |
| The biggest mystery of this show, which everyone is looking forward to... is finally solved and shown. Kinda disappointed that his girlfriend is missing since. It is really sad to see Goto like that. And, we got a kid as a villain now. |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| Holy shit, poor Goto, he's been doing that for such a long time, and still acts normal all the time, goes to work and stuff. And lol that really is the kid from the beginning of the show, he's on some evil jealousy shit. |
 |
| Good game Mari, she just couldn't compete with Goto's right hand and his imagination. Wonder what that boy from episode 1 has been up to this whole time, he definitely seemed the most affected by Hazama's speech at the time. |
 |
| Why did this have to be the only predictable thing in the anime :( |
 |
| Awh... I was thinking that Samurai Flamenco would have some romance in the end, and then another motherfucker appears... There's anything left for Masayoshi! It's time for Goto's romance... Samurai Flamenco would turn from Good to Awesome if it had romance ._. (Romance sucker spotted, isn't it? :c) |
| Yeah people, the mistery of who is Goto's girlfriend is solved. Aaand I think the biggest mistery of all is the disappearences! I think most of people forgot about this, but Masayoshi's parents also disappeared (episode 8). I want an answer!! |
| Cookies to all of you that called it on Goto's girlfriend from the very beginning!! I guess Mari's jealous because Goto's in love with a phantom and not her. She had a lot of nerve telling Goto that what he was doing was wrong. What he's doing hasn't gotten anybody kidnapped or their crotch stomped. She needs to just mind her own business. I feel really sad for Goto, though. However, I'm right there with his mother. Whatever it takes to get him through it and back to living again, so be it. At least he's not hurting anyone. Isn't it a little late in the game to be introducing another villain? Or, did this one show up because everybody is bored now that things are peaceful again? |
 |
| Looks like we shall be seeing the return of Samumenco. |

| So two mysteries answered in one episode. Both were plot twists. Surprise surprise. (Not really) Even with Goto's reveal, still not supporting Goto x Mari. Goto's happy, so leave him alone. He's been like that since the beginning anyways, I don't feel like anything has changed, even though I know his situation now. I'm now interested in what happened to his GF. (I knew the GF reveal was too good to be true. T^T) The kid coming back as evil made me kind of sad though. Was hoping for another Flamenco... but that would be too typical, wouldn't it? Hazama's parents and Goto's GF will play a bigger role in the last 3 episodes, pretty sure. They haven't left loose ends like that go, so they're do a plot twist. I smell it. And, no romance please... unnecessary. |

| Holy shit. I'm quite shocked, with both twists. O_O The dead GF...Well, I kind of guessed something weird like that was going on but not to the extent where he was emailing himself. The second twist... Was that the kid from the first few episodes? Wow, okay. Idk what's going on, but okay. This show does not disappoint. I've said this already in other Thursday shows, but next Thursday when?! |
| I was right. Gotou's gf was gone. T^T Watch she turns out to be an enemy... I hope they actually show what happened to her before the anime ends. |
 |
| The fact that most everyone predicted correctly on Goto's gf made the reveal kind of disappointing but I still feel bad for Goto. Next plot twist: |
| Well that was. . interesting. Anyway, already a new villain, here we go again =/ |

How many years has it been since he started doing it? Five or so years? Nobody ever told him what he's doing is wrong and is only hurting himself which makes you wonder if he had any friends. I bet Mari's the first ever to tell him off since he started deceiving himself. She didn't tell him off because she's jealous. She did it because she saw the sorry state he's in. |
