Heh, Takemichi has such a heart of gold. Going back in time to help out Draken takes guts.

On the other hand, his encounter with that blonde girl was priceless since she was almost nude. Mikey is still such a badass in his leadership position. Takemichi knew that but took the risk to go back anyways to resolve a conflict.

Takemichi is really juggling his life between present and past. Got fired from the part-time job in the present and almost lost his virginity in the past. And then, running away from there. Yep...That's a virgin for ya.

Also, a fight is about to take place between two gangs and Takemichi has the mission to protect Draken at all costs. Draken really is a very nice guy, he sure fills what Mikey lacks. It was really sad to see what happened to that girl. Nobody from the outside should ever be involved in all such matters. Felt really bad for the parents as well.

I hope our gang can take revenge for his friend and his girlfriend.

It's worse in the manga because theres a panel they showing that scene. I'm actually felt relieved they didn't include it in the anime because it's triggering.

I could almost swear that this episode is only 12 minutes long, time flies very fast when I'm happy!

First of all, I'm glad that my man is still a virgin, and judging from Draken's girlfirend, it seems like Draken is a virgin too. I'm somehow obsess with virginity, I don't want it to be taken from my favorite guys, especially by women. But it doesn't mean I hate woman, for example I feel very sorry for the woman that get raped in this episode. No woman deserve that kind of treatment, ever!

And yes, Draken is Mikey's heart, they're born and live for each other! I really hope our hero can save them, all of them. The whole gang is just teenagers that lost a good guidance, they're not bad people by nature. They can still be good people. But the same can't be said for Moebius gang, they should be judged fairly under the law.

That went from 0 to 100 real quick. Brings the real life situation of gangs to light, once you're in them you're not the only one that will suffer if something goes bad, you're essentially risking the lives of your loved ones by associating yourself in that situation. Scary but real stuff that gives you a reality check of what was kind of glorified in the last few episodes. But now takemitchy knows that mikey's brakes are controlled by draken, hopefully hina is saved. I honestly love the pacing of the show, its brilliant, with the fluff kept to a minimum unlike a certain show that aired today ahem BHA5 ahem

What's up with those very bad cuts? Even if they are there to hide its budget it's extremely noticeable. Or is this an attempt to hide the swastika?

Seems interesting that the "original" Takemichi (the one that left Hina during the fireworks and got into that situation with Emma) has a really different personality than the future Takemichi, not sure if the idea that they're different will be important later on tho

another very heavy episode, that thing with pah and his family and girlfriend shook me to the core, I'm also sad that takemichy was such a dick back in the past and when he's back to being a kid he doesn't remember how much he loves and appreciates hina (as he should, she's the best), i really really hope he'll succeed and saves draken so they'll all get a happily ever after

They did that girl so dirty, ngl if I was the dad I would've went ham for real. But there's not really much you can do against a gang :/

Damn enjoyable episode again. Was cool to see the captains, Matsuoka's voice fits Mitsuya so well.

Anyone wondering there is currently an uncensored version going around without the weird cuts.

To find them you have to obviously use the high seas route.

All in all great ep, mikey showed his leadership, and it'll get only better from here on out. :D

Is it just me or is the animation poor af this episode??



There's an error in translation. It said "hung his parents and siblings" but they didn't literally hung them by the neck and killed them. I've checked three different languages of translations so I'm certain the actual meaning is they tied them up and then dangled them in the air by a rope in order to threaten them for money. After all, their goal is money and sex, not murder. You'll see later that even the most evil delinquent in this show is tentative when it comes to taking a life.

They just cut a TON of stuff and used stills, black screens and terribly zoomed in panning shots to avoid showing the manji on the uniforms.

Thanks. Those stupid cuts completely ruined the scene for me.

Not as good as ep1-3 but definitely better than 4. Only the gang meeting was bad but that's due to cuts.

damn just rewatch the RAW version they really did some cut,zoom and pause some scenes around 8:50 mins especially most of the scenes on that meeting that's why there are some weired scenes here and there. I don't know what they're trying to cut the swastika wasn't even that visible lmao.

y'know something tells me Hinata wouldn't really mind if take told her about the whole time travel thing given how she can spot when he feels "older" lol


but damn, good to know Draken and mikey before are not as bad dudes as their initial impressions. Now I'm really curious as to what leads to Draken's death (I assume takemichi is gonna get his hand stabbed trying to save him as in the OP)

Alright I just watched the raw version and i can confirm that they cut like 50% (im serious) scenes of the gang meeting. If it feels poorly made for you then you have to blame crunchyroll.
This symbol will keep appearing and sadly they will just cut ENTIRE SCENES. Censoring the swastika isnt great but they are too lazy for that.
Sad since the adaption isnt actually bad.

Here to give you a taste of how shitty it is

Edit:
Actually don't blame CR. I was told that CR had nothing to do with the cuts if that's the case then forget what i said.

Animation sucks sometimes, but script and direction kinda compensates for that. Pacing is also on point.

Draken and Mikey really depend and need eachother, can't imagine how Mikey would feel if he lost Draken. It makes perfect sense for Mikey to become an evil guy like that. There'd be nobody there to lead him.

Raping that girl and beating her up untill she fell in coma? Those people really are the scum of the earth, I tought gangs had honour principles or something like that...

Also, why would Takemitchy have sex with another random girl, when he already has a girlfriend? That's pretty immature :/

Other than that, I don't really care about the Manji symbol being censored, I'm more focused on the plot

This censorship is criminal. Why do Crunchyroll feel the need to do this? Is it that hard to tell uneducated people that the manji symbol is not the same as the swastika?

Damn this episode went by way too quick, I was just getting into it after Mikey and Draken apologised to the parents and then boom. Really good episode. Felt bad for the misunderstanding with Takemichi and Hina, but Emma is an interesting character.

So we got a pretty good set up for the upcoming conflict with Moebius, that’s going to be a tough one, excited for the next few episodes to see where things go from here

I’ve seen some people complaining about the manji symbol being censored on crunchyroll, I must’ve missed it because I didn’t notice anything strange.

How to ruin an episode, the japanese way. Not only did they flash lights to censor a buddhist symbol, we get different storyboarding than the og version and horrible cuts to go along with it. Jarring to say the least. If these censors keep up for the entire season it will legit be unwatchable. I’ll just swap to the manga not gonna waste my time. Who thought that was a good idea?

Saw the comparison and yeah, i don't like the censorship (who does, anyway?). This can't be good for future episodes if they keep cutting the Manji symbol. I still gave it a 5/5 though since it's a great episode that went by so fast. But again, i'd be lying if i said i'm not worried for future episodes.

It's a shame that the manji symbol got censored which heavily affected the episode, but people nowadays pretty much immediately associate the symbol with Nazis without knowing the real meaning of it so I get why they're doing this.

Anyway, I like how this episode showed just how important Draken's presence is for Mikey. No wonder Mikey changes because of his death. I hope Toman destroys this other scummy ass gang, especially after what they did to that girl, her bf, and his family.
People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime.

I'm considering moving to the manga after that laughable censorship - I was probably going to read the manga after this season anyway.

Besides that, this episode was once again solid. We got to see more on how the gangs were structured and a rivalry has been established. A good set up episode.

Hide swastika is dumb, and just keep people from learning the original meaning. Like the proposal to substitute the swastika on Buddhist temples in Japan
