What's a time-traveler in a middle schooler's body going to do stop a gang war and avert a dark future? Seems like the only thing Takemichi has going for him is how much of a beating he can take .

In a battle between a brawler and a boxer, the boxer handily wins...poor Pah-chin. He tried to stay up as long as he could. But while Mikey doesn't believe in settling his guys' fights, he's not about to let them lose, and he then settles Osanai with a quick kick to the face .

With the police on their way I was half-expecting Takemichi to get to meet Hina's dad. Although that would probably be a terrible first meeting .

Everything seems to have resolved itself and Draken seems safe and ready to acquire Moebius into Toman...and then Pah-chin stabs Osanai and things get really serious. I mean, I get it, Osanai kind of had it coming, but the situation was resolved and Pah-chin was out for payback, and it just made things worse. But at least Pah-chin realized he went too far and gave himself up to the police to answer to what he did, and he didn't kill Osanai, so he'll just spend a year in jail. No wonder Osanai ended up so haggard in the future though .

How many sexy situations is Takemichi going to end up in with Emma? He hasn't even touched Hina's boobs. Poor girl is really worried about Draken though, it's just too bad Takemichi picked the worst time to comfort her as Hina shows up to visit him while he's patting her head laying on his leg .

So it turns out what drove Toman apart was what Pah-chin did, stabbing Osanai. It wasn't really Moebius, at least directly. Mikey's mad that they abandoned Pah-chin and Draken had to drag him away, while Draken understands the reality of what happened. It seems like the future is still set on the path that leads to Draken's death and the future Toman Takemichi is trying to prevent .

I guess it's kind of sweet that both Draken and Mikey decided to visit Takemichi, even if the tension between them ends up putting Takemichi in the middle of a friendship triangle and the two end up breaking pretty much breaking everything precious to Takemichi. Have they unlocked rage Takemichi to finally put these two in their places ?

LOL at the "fight" between Draken and Mikey. Essentially, their whole fight with each other only involved destroying Takemichi's things and precious memories.


OK, so how was Moebius/Osanai set up by "that guy" (yeah, definitely Kisaki)? Did he provide Pah with the knife, since it was questioned how Pah ended up with a knife in the first place? Or did he manipulate the situation through some sort of time travel plot that he knew will lead to Pah going to prison? I'll be really interested in how they explain all this at some point, since time travel plots can get really messy.

I guess if he instigated the conflict and knew how close Pah was to the member that was involved, it was pretty easy to assume what would happen...

Explained a long way later. As to what it could be, that would be spoiler. In any case, by that time, you would have surmised what was likely done.

[grecefar]

Well that was a fun fight at the end, but I want to see takemitchy epic rant.

I was so sure that they were messing with him at all that fight was just a joke.

Let him know where and when the "secret meeting" was, I guess. And probably something about the start of the conflict. And yeah, maybe the knife, as well as talk Pah into being more murderous than he otherwise would be?

[ars89]

I'm guessing Kisaki or whoever is the big bad got not only to Osanai but also to Pah. Toman only started to break because Pah stabbed Osanai and was left there. If Pah didn't have a knife it wouldn'tt have happened.

Are Mikey and Draken at Takemichi's house on the 2nd? So if he can somehow get them to make up they'll be prepared for the 3rd which is the day Draken is supposed to die.

I'm kind of wondering what the inciting incident for Draken's death is now since it seems like Moebius is done .

Well, the future version did mention that in was infighting with Toman that led to one of Mikey's faction to stab Draken; hence, it wasn't Moebius versus Toman on the 3rd in the first place. It was always Toman versus Toman. I originally thought it was weird when in the future, they mentioned that it was Toman infighting. Now it makes more sense. Currently, right now, Mikey and Draken are still fighting... destroying Takemichi's precious memories... LOL

[Frontier]

Takemichi finally lets loose and goes all out against Mikey and Draken...but ends up making a fool of himself. But it's how silly and earnest he is (plus there being poop in his hair) that gets Draken and Mikey to finally relax and stop taking their beef so seriously. Takemichi being Takemichi was able to get them to be friends again, even if it was at his comic expense and losing all his precious memories...but hey, with friends like these, who needs enemies .

I'm glad Hina and Emma were able to become friends and support each other with their respective relationships despite what Emma's tendency to get into lewd situations with Takemichi...poor girl just has it really bad for Draken .

Takemichi got way too complacent assuming he had saved Draken before the actual day of the stabbing. I mean, who would resist a festival date with Hina? But nevertheless, of course it hadn't been resolved yet .

Hina and Emma looked gorgeous in their yukata's! Takemichi and Draken are too lucky men .

Nothing beats an intimate moment in the rain between two lovers, and that was the perfect spot for a first kiss. Although their actual first kiss was pretty great too .

I wasn't expecting Kiyomasa to come back as an antagonist, but it looks like he's got a grudge to settle .

Takemichi may have gone far on guts, but he's not as physically strong as Draken or Mikey or command the same level of respect, and he's still suffering from the trauma of abuse and powerlessness he's had to deal with both in middle school and as an adult. No wonder he's feeling like there's nothing he can really accomplish through his own power .

But find a girl like Hina who will worry about you catching a cold when you basically bail on her, or will run after you with a hurt foot, or give you her first kiss when you need it the most, or who looks at Takemichi for being Takemichi because, to her, your the greatest guy in the world. How can you not feel a renewed vigor to keep going when you've got someone like Hina by your side .

So, wait...Kiyomasa got the knife but Peh is the one out for Draken's blood because they wouldn't bribe Pah out of jail? Kiyomasa seemed kind of insulted when Takemichi insinuated he was trying to stab Draken, so was he not planning to kill Draken? How did Draken's stabbing happen ?

[leongsh]

Ah.. the nasty run of cliffhanging episodes begins (and may not end until end of the season).

EDIT:
Forgot to mention that there are some edited/censored scenes. Most notably, Peh's motorcycle when Mitsuya identifies it while talking to Takemichi.

Spoiler:

EDIT 2:
Need to add that Muse Asia aired the unedited/uncensored version. It's Crunchyroll version that is edited/censored.

Well, I think to some extent Takemichi is emotionally stunted and hasn't really matured that much from his middle school self so while being a little more mature in that body he really isn't all that different mentally (at least compared to Hina). So I don't think it's that much of an issue.

So is it maturity of body that you have concerns with or maturity of mind? Because if you say mind, then there are some 14 years old girls who have the maturity of a 25 years old. Or there are 14 years old girls with more experience than some 25 years old guys. Does that make the girls that are like that illegal for guys her age?

Or if you have concerns with maturity of the body then? Well, both characters are 14 years old bodies. This is not a cut and dry issue here.

[Frontier]

I mean, maturity-wise I think Takemichi now is about on par with Hina from what we see. The only thing his experience seems to change in their relationship is he acts more mature and less overconfident than he actually was during middle school around her.

The mind, but part of my problem is how fuzzy a concept maturity of the mind is. By what criteria do you declare someone "mature" or "immature"? Is it ok for an immature adult to lust after mature children?

What is an objective reality, to us at least, is that Takemichi has the memories of having lived 25 years. Hina... doesn't.

But hey, I've seen creepier.

[Frontier]

Figures Draken would confront Peh's issue with him head on, although he probably didn't count on getting ambushed with a bat from behind...but he seemed to recover well enough to take on those Moebius goons until help arrived, even with a head wound .

Peh's a coward. Yeah, Pah was his best friend and it sucks what happened, but if he really wanted to do right by his memory he wouldn't have betrayed Toman or go through such underhanded means to take Draken out, he would've faced Draken head on and confronted his feelings honorably. And maybe then he'd realize what Mikey told him, that they didn't stop caring about Pah, but that Toman's still a family .

I honestly though the mastermind was going to turn out to be Kisaki, but turns out it's Moebius' new leader Hanma, and he can hold his own against Mikey and seems to enjoy a good brawl. So where does Kisaki enter the picture? Does he at all? No one knew about Hanma, so what's going on ?

Has Takemichi changed anything about the timeline? Did Toman and Mikey show up to back Draken up even without Takemichi there? Did Draken and Mikey make up without Takemichi helping it happen? Has anything about the timeline changed ?

Did Hina follow Mitsuya and Takemichi when she saw them running? I kind of assume she might call the police to come in and clean up .

Just as Mikey epically enters the fray, so does the rest of Toman, and we get to meet the rest of Toman's captains as they join in on the fun and enter a full blown gang war with Moebius .

Takemichi seems so out of place amidst all these people who know how to fight, especially the Toman captains who keep beating the tar out of Moebius' thugs. At least he still has the resolve to keep going to try and protect Draken .

So was Takemichi too late to save Draken? Is the future set in stone? Has Takemichi accomplished anything? Is anyone going to stop Kiymoasa ?

The number of people involved in the brawl has changed from the news report in Takemichi's recall. The news report stated 50-odd people in a gang brawl. This has all 100 Moebius members and nearly all 50 Toman members. Some things have changed. Whether there will be any more changes, watch on...

[grecefar]

I was so sure that takemitchy was going to take the blow for draken but now what?, maybe with him there they can move drake fast to a hospital and he can be save or something like that.
