| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Serious gangster shit in this episode. If there was one thing that made this episode amazing more than anything is the following: Gangster brawling! So it was quite amazing to see a brawl ever since Durarara this one is most amazing IMO.The first one in the spoiler Had most amazing of an impact of happiness of being rescued by the gang of Soichirou. Had the same impact as that rescue in Durarara. From the beginning of this brawl I knew trouble started as soon as I saw these guys with their smiling face. Narumi was wise to take immediately Meo in hand and run. Unfortunately the gangsters did a sandwich type, which blocks them on both sides. Those gangsters did not looks happy to be running here and the guy with the glasses was really aggressive on Meo, I would like want to punch him! Those 2 guys here, would be punched too. Narumi got a lot of guts to take all these hits. He got one directly in the chest, one nasty strong punch in the face (now that has got to hurt a lot), one hit while laying on the ground and the shit head gave him another one! Both ground hits from the feet could have broken Narumi’s ribs. Another good thing in regards to the brawl in the spoiler is that it has blood pissing out, which really makes it more realistic but not the blood spray. Souichiro looked really angry at those shit heads who hurt Narumi. The second one in the spoiler Was another memory of Durarara when all gangs decided to give a hand to that one person in Durarara when the event in question happened else he would be killed. The most important progress to me is the sake exchange between Soichirou and Narumi as follows,  It’s confirmed to be sake (actually was it sake or just mineral water?) with the drinking cup of the gang with its symbol here. I feel bad for Narumi because now he is part of them and cannot back out. Not unless Soichirou says so. I doubt they are severe with cutting ties to them like other Yakuza groups but who knows. Man Narumi got himself into some deep shit now. That’s apart from the deep meeting of Narumi with Meo in the spoiler In thee end all ends well in the following,  Meo is back with her father and she even stays around Yuuko’s place in the spoiler
About miscellaneous stuff, I find that Yuuko’s eyes here are very nice. Those gangsters in the beginning are really intimidating towards Minli. I do think that the group should have stopped the gangsters before this one get intimidating with Minli up too close. For some reason the flashback made this scene much better than the one from last episode. I believe that the gangsters have a Mercedes for a car because the driving left sided. All this graffiti business in the spoiler I loved seeing Yuuko pat Narumi’s head in the spoiler About preview, oh WTF @ Narumi having a black eye? Why and how come would be nice to know in that episode. I am fully expecting the fan service of Minli in the spoiler And yup looks to be the most mature lady of the series. That skin! I do wonder as to why does Yuuko do that expression? Looks like something embarrassing or something else. Excellent episode! Full of action, emotions and happiness. This is the best episode so far in the series IMO. Really happy how things are progressing so far. If each case becomes this good. This show shall have its 9/10. The cheap ecchi gimmicks made it go down from 10 already. It can still stay at 9. |

| Kind of different ED from drama cd. Spelling of Shibuya is wrong ("Sibuya" instead) at the end. |
I ♥ Two Syaorans from Tsubasa RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE and TRC!!! |
| Narumi manned up. Good development. |
 |
| This was a good episode for sure. |
 |
| Narumi getting beat up -> short gang fight -> self-righteous bullshit -> Alice in kimono -> Narumi joins the gang -> I forgot to watch for 5 minutes -> Gang fight -> missed something again -> end of episode. Oh boy, this episode. Oh, great, finished the episode just in time for the Macross Frontier Super Live~ ⊂( ﾟヮﾟ)⊃ |
| Protip: I don't really check the forums anymore, so if you want something, take it on my profile. Is it time for my long-awaited return to the forums? щ(ﾟДﾟщ) Nope™, probably not. |
Oosran said: This is oddly how my experience of watching the episode was, well except for the Macross. I was too busy organizing what to watch next for Lupin III' guess that shows how much I like the show.Narumi getting beat up -> short gang fight -> self-righteous bullshit -> Alice in kimono -> Narumi joins the gang -> I forgot to watch for 5 minutes -> Gang fight -> missed something again -> end of episode.

| Nice episode, it was funny to see Narumi get punched by his own teammate. |
| Nice episode... and Narumi ended up being much of the punching bag for this episode. Narumi is now in that gang... interestingly enough. |
     |
| I enjoyed it alright, but the plot is pretty out there for something that's supposed to highlight deductive abilities. Most glaring are the yondaime just accepting the brotherhood when he apparently does take it seriously, and the yakuza just letting them out of the headquarters when they pulled their stunt. What kind of lukewarm mafias are these? |
| Narumi is now part of a gang? Level up for him. Overall good episode! |
 |
Bio said: the yakuza just letting them out of the headquarters when they pulled their stunt. What kind of lukewarm mafias are these? Onii said: They would be one half-assed yakuza if they didn't do shit. Yeah, I'm hoping they do something as well. I'm thinking the yakuza isn't done yet, they might go away for a couple of arcs but should appear again. |
| Alice in kimono. <3 Other than that, my attention was definitely going in and out everytime in this episode. Not that it matters I guess. Case solved. Now to do something else. Lol at the car. What is that a bumper car? That was really weird. Then again, Index II's bouncing building... |

| I think they might have gone too quickly with how the story ended. I still don't know Narumi's plan. They transferred the money to an account and I know the guy had to arrive to cancel it, but why did they have to stop it. |
 |
| Alice in a kimono was cute. So it looks like this will be a loli detective show with yakuzas in it. And I agree with the previous posters that it was dumb and unrealistic that the yakuzas just let them leave the building after pulling off such a heist. |
 Thanks, person who gave me this on another site a long time ago, lol. |
| Actually, this was suprisingly good. J.C. Staff tendecies visible tho... meaning lolfight with spoken bulllshit and Narumi's self-encouragement wich was lol. But we;;, other than that it was prettykinda good. Also nice kimono, Alice. Also moar Min-san always welcome. |
| レッツゴー ED イケイケゴーゴー |
| Nanumi got ganster back up! |
     |
| Alice looks so cute in a kimono! |
| i loved this episode it was so good it gave me goosebumps idk y |
| lol Alice looks like Enma Ai with blue eyes in that kimono XDD <33 Also, what kind of yakuzas are these? I was expecting they would come back and ruin the father-daughter date xDD Oh well, I guess they will be back in the future eps because they still got beef with the main casts. And also this episode is so freakin rushed... I couldn't keep up with the pace and their switching to another one... or was it just me? |
| Really bland and uninteresting episode. I may drop it very soon. |
 In every age, in every place, the deeds of men remain the same. |
| ehh this ep was kind of boring tbh. :3 |
| Lol I actually really enjoyed this episode though I do agree that the story this time around was a bit rushed. I really like the characters in this series, yes I do. |
| That gangster brawl was the ****!! good episode :) This and Usagi Drop are my fav this season, its a shame that this will not have 26 eps |
 |
| I didn't understand Narumi's plan...it needed more explanation. All I know is that he lied about being able to crack a bank's data system. But how does that get Meo her dad back and make everything work out? I disliked the scene where Narumi joined the brotherhood or whatever it is called. It was really cheesy. The first case was definitely better than this one. I hope the next episode steps it back up. Also, question. This show has 12 episodes. Did episode 01 count as two separate episodes? Or will there be 12 episodes, and one of them is just an hour long? |

The 200 million yen was deposited to Kusakabe's bank account, so in order to retrieve that money before the bank closed they took Kusakabe himself to the bank with Narumi and co. waiting for them to arrive with Meo's dad. |
| happy that minli got some screentime! and Narumi is starting to prove him self even though hes a bit weak still,but i thought this episode was great and to top it off we got some Alice moeness at the end :3. |
 |
| During that brotherhood ritual all I could think about was Assassin's Creed |
 |
| i love the gangstas!! <3 |
| Gangsta Fightttttttttttttttttttttttttttt!!! Poor Narumi got hit/used as bait by his teammates xD I thought that everything he did in this episode was OOC instead of developing :/ His plan was kinda ......simple? I mean why would professional Yakuza fall for that? And the ending, while happy, wasn't really satisfying. We didn't even hear Meo's dad say anything or defend himself or /anything/! I loved the first case much more than the second. It was actually mysterious. and you wondered a few times what the hell was going on. But the climax was amazing and fit well, even if it was slightly confusing. I'm watching this for the Gangsters/brotherhood/Yondaime. <3 |
DenjaX said: Alright! I am happy! I was not the only one thinking about this. Strangely enough blue eyes to me = a more peaceful Enma Ai. The original one is plain scary with the red eyes.lol Alice looks like Enma Ai with blue eyes in that kimono XDD <33 |
| I suppose with the VA and it being JC Staff the MC with his righteous attitude reminded me of Touma from Index. uh so how exactly was the ending resolved? gang fight, father freed? the bad guys just forget about it? what about the cops? that didn't seem very clear, other than hey the girl is back with her father, oh well. |
 |
| oh snap narumi got stray-falcon-punched LOL the highlight of this episode for me was the kyodai sakazuki narumi had with the 4th and the fact that 4th got lots of screen time :3~ overall i thought the ending was rather rushed, especially when nothing happens after that huge brawl ._.; looks like next episode min-san will get more screentime =o |
| The reason why I still watch this anime is because of the YAKUZA!!!!! I love the fighting scenes, and they're so funny, and the Fourth/Yondaime/Souichiro is so fucking cool I like it when he interact with Narumi <3 Narumi acted like a boss o.O Couldn't believe it...I hope he would become more reliable in the next episode...or else....Oh~and also the yakuza! Without them it's gonna be booooooring. Pardon my weird fondness for yakuza.. xP |
| I fell asleep in the middle of this show... this season sure has some boring ass shows. 2/5... the kimono 1UP'd the score. Now on to 'Baka to Test to Something'...one of the few good shows this season. |
| Narumi conned those guys good! And Alice in a kimono! :D I got a feeling those guys will come back sometime soon. |
 |
| The scene at the atm's was funny people must have thought they where in the wrong place. It was a nice idea but i wonder if they really got away from that group and i wonder if we will see Meo again. That ceremony looked nice and best of it all was Alice in that Kimono it looked very good on her. |
guyklc said: Alice in a kimono was cute. Yeah it is cute but I kinda felt the resemblance with Ai enma |
 |
| Ugh, white knight Narumi saves the day cause he made a promise with some chick he knew for a few days. That has to be the most cheapest plot device ever. |
 |
| Narumi was kinda cool this episode but I totally loved Soichirou ^^ Awesome, looks like Narumi is part of the gang now... The only thing I don't understand is where they left the money..? Did the father really openend his account (or what ever was needed for the money to be transferred) after they beat the baf guys?... |
| Nice episode, and good final. Narumi is more involved now. |
| seemed a little anti-climactic but i still liked it a bit :x |
