By default I was gonna make all of Kaoru's arc 10 simply cause it's Kaoru but this ep was somewhat uneventful, altho it does move along with the story, there really wasn't all that much to it.
Guess I was expecting something a little outrageous to happen given how the series has gone so far but still solid 9 here.
The little flashbacks of the times hanging out with each other were nice and Jun's pep talk was nice along with his "I was pretty cool" line
And oh god moar teenage years shenanigans, looking down a lass's top when playing pool, any lad thats played the game with girls will have done that
looking forward to and not looking forward to the end of this arc
