The effect of this makes you can't unsee his backstory after you see Switch again.

Watching through this show for the first time. Switch has been my favorite character from the start and I loved seeing his backstory. That was so heartbreaking 😔 I really would’ve liked to see an episode of how Bossun saved Switch, but it looks like the next episode is going back to the usual SKET Dan antics with a Gintama crossover. Guess I’ll read the manga for that part.

That was so fucking depressing but brilliant at the same time! ;(
I expected the older brother to die and the younger brother to be switch (as he actually is the real switch).
But this was still a very amazing turn of events

When SKET Dance really tries, it can be sad

Wow what an insane turn of events. It was a sad episode and of course like most people, I thought the older one died but man I’ll never see Switch the same again.

The first time I watched SKET Dance back in 2014, and I loved SKET Dance especially character arcs of Switch, Himeko, and Bossun.

Now, I am rewatching again, and I had only remembered that there were arcs of each of the characters, I am very much looking forward to them. I had forgotten the details of it. I just rewatched episodes 25 and 26.
SO awesome, I cried a lot. It was surprising to me that Usui was switch in the end..

Damn, I also thought the older brother would be the one to die, since it seemed "easier" to transform Original Switch into the Current Switch.

They also surprised me on how and why older bro became the current Switch. It was a lot more twisted and crazy than I thought, specially cause Switch is a MC.

Anyway, great ep.

What a heavy, dark backstory for this kind of show, poor guy. Great episode, though!

What an amazing backstory. I knew he had to have some sort of tragic past to feel more comfortable talking through a computer but damn ;-; I hope to see Switch be able to talk normally again. Even if I have to read the manga!

And it's kind of amusing to read so many people who thought the older brother would die, even though it's a valid assumption. What great writing!

what a hell dude, wasn't it supposed to be a comedy show? don't come to me with this thing, i'm crying here you know, i'm weak. and what was that with the voice union? now it will keep poping on my head every time switch "speaks" in the series. I'm doomed, no, this show is dooming me piece by piece

Not surprised this episode would have one of the longest threads for this anime.

Completely surprised a story this tragic occurred in a comedy anime. Honestly waiting for them to troll us but it got to the point where the scene was too depressing to be fake. Second surprise was finding out the girl was the villain all along. Second was finding out it was actually the older brother that became Switch. His robotic voice sounded more like the older brother so I assumed it was him.

It totally makes sense now why Switch went in the river first to find the sword.

This seems like a turning point for the series in terms of the author’s writing prowess. I feel like this show succeeds FAR more in drama than comedy, strangely enough. As if the comedy kind of acts as a buffer similar to Gintama in the later episodes

Finished Sket Dance and the best episode by far. Easily one of my favourite backstories. Didn't expect that all.
Read One Piece. Watch Gintama

Comedy anime and gags really can give you the most feels at a certain point. I've loved and felt heartbroken by this episode the first two times I saw this show and in this third watch, I still feel the same way. That really was painful and emotional to watch the way Kazuyoshi became Switch. His brother was gone too soon and seeing Kazuyoshi bear that responsibility by looking like him, combining their voices to show how much Masafumi should be alive now while Kazuyoshi's gone really is an emotional rollercoaster to get through. From a gag character to an amazing one.

I wasn't ready for this backstory, I wasn't fucking ready for this backstory, bruh. It hit different.


It's always the weird looking ones who got the fucked up past ;_;

Wow, that was much darker than I expected, definitely the best episode yet, I didn't expect "Switch" to be the older brother than mentally mixed himself with the personality of his deceased younger brother

They fooled me well I did not expect Switch to be the big brother the slightest, nor did I expect that bitch to be the culprit.
My entire view on Switch has changed, really feel awful for the dude (amazingly written arc regardless), sadge that this episode is likely SKET Dance's peak since it's the most discussed episode
