This show gets the Newhart finale with obari waking up (next to pipimi and popuko) and realizing it was all a dream.

There was absolutely nothing gay about that boxing match. These were two men expressing their burning passions to each other. I can't imagine anything straighter than that.

I always tell myself not to get my hope up when I see a tease like this. I want to send a feedback that the same old fanservice trick can't satisfy me anymore. Among mecha genre, this anime seems to sit somewhere between Promare and Legend of the Blue Wolves but I want it to lean forward to the latter than the former.

I always look forward to the homoerotic shenanigans in this show. Episodes 3 and 4 were good, but episode 5 got right back on track. Bravern's being an understanding boyfriend in this episode (Isami and Bravern are soulmates <3).

Lots of humor this episode. Bravern is 3D-printing his own merchandise. He's pulling out a boom mic to broadcast the boxing match. Oh god, that boxing match lmao. I think Isami and Smith got to second base lol. And Lulu is stronger than both of them haha.

And the after credits scene where the evil robot is using the same gibberish that Lulu has been speaking this entire time!

Great episode 👏 👌 👍

This show would be much shorter if Isami would just let Smith screw his brain out as they clearly want.

Also Bravern is like 90% Smith from the future or some shit.

I saw the PV for this week's episode expecting a battle,

it was a battle alright, but it was a battle between men...

the PV segment is that small part after the ED...

Still I love this episode

getting tetsu inada just for him to grunt nonsense is... unusually on-brand for this show. we've got 7 episodes left to get through 6 big bad guys which also makes me skeptical this is really going to be just one 12 episode season. either this changes gear to become a total speedrun all the way to the end or they're winding up to reveal there's more of it.

That scene where Isami-kun can feel Smith-kun's thing was funny.

At about 1:20 in the OP, we see Lewis and Isami in a ruined city during sunset.
They're in their original mechs, and Isami seems pretty happy to see Lewis. This isn't the scene from the first episode, he shut down Lewis then. There's nothing to hide from the audience. We know Bravern exists so why is Isami in his original mech?

This is the original timeline we're seeing. It cuts directly to Bravern after Isami and Lewis clasp hands. Lewis is Bravern.

Also the fact that Bravern’s design looks suspiciously like the tokusatsu hero Lewis was watching with Lulu.

Such a passionate episode!

I loved the ending with the happy family. Daddy, the other Daddy, their alien daughter and their pet robot!

The Fujoshi scenes was brilliant too!

Operation Uprising to save Japan, Isami and Bravern will lead the operation as per usual, but they got a week to recuperate before the actual operation. But even with heavy hearts, they still have to eat heartily, and Bravern can always catch up to Isami if the need calls for it. And as much as Bravern could only so things for Isami, Lewis has also things he could do for him. And a 3D printer that Bravern has made for his own creations, Lewis has an idea.

And his idea...is to call on a boxing match between him and Isami, though they had quite the gay sex lol, with Miyu heating her Fujoshi senses. Bravern with his boom mic anchoring their words and fists of exchange, hopefully the message got to him.

An infused gay boxing match, the manservice goes a hump top this episode.

The militaries just let Bravern just have his own quarters in the carrier with a hyper dimensional 3D printer (where did he get it?). He also knows the Tokusatsu show Smith likes.



Lulu was alien spawn. No surprise the invaders speak her gagapi language. Now she has more cognitive abilities, will her true purpose awaken?

The boxing match was glorious. You know the anime is catering to the fujoshi audience and I'm here for it.

I also agree with other's theories that Bravern is Smith from the future, where he lost his body and his consciousness got put into a mech. Their personalities are similar. Bravern acts like he's known Isami for a long time to feel so passionately towards him, gay subtext or not. Compare that with Smith in the current timeline, who is wanting to win Isami over and be bros. And then there's the fact that Braven wouldn't let Smith ride him.
Could be wrong about it all, but it would be an interesting twist.

This episode just cemented this as the ultimate manliest manservice macho bullshit show of the season.

* Shirtless guys
* Boxing
* With side bet action
* Tom Skeritt (Top Gun) Referee parachuting in like a boss
* The 'clinch' with grinding
* Talking with their fists
* While being overheard by a giant boom mike

This just gets better and better, I can't wait to see what happens next.

I love that they made Bravern a giant-sized man cave where he gets to keep massive gundam-sized collectible figures. (@9:00)

Also, he has a gundam-sized replicator (hyper dimensional 3D printer) and he's using it to make models to paint rather than building weapons.

I found this episode to be pretty boring, overall; especially the first half. The rest was better, thanks in particular to the boxing match and the few laughs it brought.

Lulu's "Heat Beam" was pretty cool. x)

this was a strange episode, there was a big yuri moment that was just so forced. The only bit that I enjoyed was seeing what Bravern was crafting.

no ordinary human will win against Lulu. and post-credit scene revealed that Lulu is indeed a part of the invaders. now HOW will she react once they reach Japan and she comes face to face with her people? And whoa...that boxing match there...the mechanic girl knew what was happening and got excited lol

That thought did cross my mind too. I wondered if Bravern was a future version of Smith, hence why he is so hung-up on Isami and only Isami can enter him lol
