Shindo is even more of a weirdo trying to put ideas into Arajin about Matakara, and this is already in addition to the problems with the Honki spirits.

Sure enough, Matakara made his comeback, though he's even more of a threat after some NG Boys had a scuffle with him. Jasmine-chan at the cabaret club is fully booked this time, and Matakara going straight for gold against Marito as a test for Ichiya, he's just not ready to defeat him just yet. The darkness continues to lurk within Matakara, even as Habare and Jabashiri get horrendously beaten by him. They have no choice but to rest, and Outa's prediction about the new Matakara is spot on as Marito goads to fight with him head on. By his own might, Matakara will never be able to overpower Marito, and the former embracing Ichiya's power for the first time, it nearly broke him.

By this point, Arajin desperately needing Senya's help, and Kenichiro being in charge of Minato Kai to handle Matakara...what is the next move?

It's what I expect from turning to the dark side. But the cat cafe joke is quite lame, everyone already know that it's just a cat cafe, not prostitute brothel.

Well Matakara is steadily falling deeper and deeper into despair and losing himself to the blue genie. Rough episode to watch. Just not the kind and happy go lucky fella we’ve become accustomed to seeing anymore at all.

The Marito fight was rough. Marito had the upper hand for a bit, then Matakara just went out and crushed bro. Right in front of his little sister too. Mahoro fainting like that at being powerless to help her brother.. you definitely feel for her.

Stopping Matakara won’t be easy. Looking forward to next episode to see what Senya and Arajin come up with. Arajin gonna have to start being honest about his feelings that’s for sure.

Things are heating up a lot. I didn't want to see Marito lose and to someone like Matakara. Marito is one of the coolest. But, I guess Ichiya's powers were too much even for Marito. Looks like the finale might be Arajin and Matakara. But that is two weeks from now or maybe the fight could be next week?

Poor Mahoro. I felt bad for her. Matakara's brother was nice. And, Kenichiro spoke as well.

Boring episode.
I understand that they are trying to portray Matakara's downfall, but with Arajin's way of thinking being already one of a psychopatic villain, they should have kept him as the wholesome dude in that mess of school.

Ichiya is a bland character and antagonist. Maybe not 100% his fault but Senya's for not expanding anything about backstory, but we are in chapter 10 of 12 and his late appeareance and passive action doesn't create a real sense of urgency nor danger.


This will be most likely fixed by a rushed the power of friendship™.

Best episode so far, really enjoyed it along with wrestling one but with that post credits, just chefs kiss and very rewatchable. Sad it will be ending soon.

What an interesting episode. Matakara is afraid of what’s in the shadows and Ichiya is basically manipulating him to get more power and turn to the dark side while Ara Chan is begging senya to give him answers so I’m assuming all those questions will be answered next episode

But with a big helping of romantic tension on top of it... which could be fun?

Agreed that it was a little boring. We didn't need a whole episode of Matakara going around beating everyone up; we could've skipped the randos, except maybe the pink-haired dude and the headbutt guy, and go straight into the Marito fight. We already saw Matakara being tormented by the "monsters" and Ichiya last episode, too.

It also didn't help that Matakara being "evil" meant that he looked really reluctant or just dead inside.

Arajin continued to be useless and self-absorbed, so no surprises there. I'm surprised that he even ran outside to where Matakara and Marito were fighting... what was he even trying to do, and why did he bother?

This episode was so wild lol. I think the only guy Arajin recognizes as a friend the most is Senya. Oh, I also liked that there wasn't much drama stretched out and that this episode was pure action. That being said, the animation quality feels down. Maybe they're going all-in for episodes 11-12? Despite all that there was still some comedy like Mahoro and Shindo fangirling Marito lol. Maybe next week Matakara will fight Ken first? Arajin's fight with Matakara will probably start at the end of episode 11.

Wow Matakara’s villain arc sure is taking off with this episode bro is completely ruthless towards Siguma and NG even his own niggas are like “wtf is wrong with you”😭

Seeing Marito lose was actually surprising to me bc Marito seems like the kind of dude who shouldn’t lose in anything and tbh he shouldn’t I just can’t see my green boy losing but this episode proved me wrong😕😫

Arajin wasn’t a complete ass in this episode which was a nice change of pace but I wanted bro to at least do something in this episode but I guess he can’t do anything without Senya and that genie isn’t listening to shit but hiding, like how is bro buff as shit but afraid to face Arajin?🤣💀💀

Episodes 11 and 12 should deal with the rest of Matakara’s villain arc so I’m excited to see what’s in store for us animation wise🔥

@Vindicater

You already know the cat skit is the real honkibito 💀


This show will be saved for me if Shindo makes a comeback, at this point he's got more nuances and personality than the mcs for sure.

Also am I missing something about Arajin's character?? Why are we hating on him? Arajin never pretended to be something he was not (a fighter, a honki, a stong guy).

Finally, Arajin having care about Matakara but it's too late. The fight was amazing as expected from Mappa, i wonder what Matakara wishes is. Also Matakara onicchan is so cool. Looking forward next episode.

ms. mom, stop eavesdropping please (she raises a point, where is the father?). Wow, one more twist with the teacher at the host club skit.

evil Matakara's arc is unfortunately going at full speed. That look... Arajin, you're the next.

(What was Shindo doing with the camel)?
