| Ichiya choosing Matakara as his next host, too bad that Shindo is the host that he doesn't need anymore. Arajin is still fixated on Mahoro, but Matakara has been lost for more than 3 days, and the former doesn't feel like there's a need to find his best buddy. Still though, as much as Matakara is concerned, the salaryman finally choosing Jasmine in the love pub, has he finally come around? And speaking of which, both Arajin and Matakara may have bumped onto each other, but the latter in a rush while the former went for his bath, not giving a care in the world. Even Marito hearing of this news, he doesn't seem moved at all, but Matakara will do thanks to Ichiya, still wrangling with the darkness of a monster within his heart, and that weakness to eliminate, is Arajin himself, if he TRULY wants to become a Honki Person, a big IF he could see through Ichiya's manipulation. Even Mahoro is worried about Matakara, and tries to ask from Arajin, though he may have got that impression partially right. Even Senya and Ichiya had their own backstory, to which the former followed the latter to become Honki People, back when he had empathy before he trailed down the path of evil. And that exact evil, is facing Arajin with Senya, though he soon realizes Ichiya's possession of Matakara. And the slip of paper from Shindo about Senya's "secret", it's the same scenario as what Matakara is going through with Ichiya. Arajin is in deep trouble if he can't save Matakara, possessed in Ichiya's evil. |

| I'm loving this little sub-plot with the teacher and Jasmine-chan lmao 6:51, 6:54 Need someone to translate this. A monster? I guess Matakara was traumatized by the bullies and this is the result. Things are gettin real serious with Ichiya manipulating Matakara. How did Ichiya and Senya become genies tho? Maybe that's the ultimate form of a Honki Person or something. Arajin at the end of the ED this time. |

| Sooo your childhood best friend’s brother dies and all you worried about is the fact that Mahoro is actually being a decent person and cares about Matakara? Ok I see why people are rating the show low because of Arajin now. He’s actually an irredeemable pos. Not sure what they were going for with his character but it clearly didn’t work. Like even the most insane character in the show who has an irrational brocon fetish still has enough sense to be concerned about Matakara. I’m so glad he beat Arajin’s ass in that first fight and I honestly do agree with blue genie, it’s time for Matakara to let go of his attachment/obsession with Arajin and stand on his own two feet because clearly there’s no redeeming him |

| The episodes are getting better and better. We finally got some backstory on Ichiya and Senya and how they were once. Also, Senya wants to take over Arajin's body, I guess. Ichiya has also possessed Matakara and looks like he's gonna go dark. Arajin, you better watch out, son. He's coming to take you down. |
 |
| Arajin is such a piece of shit but hey what's new LOL i can't wait to see him getting destroyed by an anger driven Matakara next episode ! Also, Mahoro confirmed to be one of the best character in this show along with Matakara, i love how she just told Arajin how much of a POS he is for not caring about his childhood friend and told him to fuck off until he cares about Matakara, YOU GO GIRL. I can't wait for the next episode to finally see Arajin suffer and reconsider his life choices ! |
| Arajin is a shit people, as usual, but why no one is pointing at Senya for being as shit to him? They are clearly made for each other. Matakara's fall is very animesque, but I won't say that is neither bad nor good, what I'd want to know is the origin of that darkness, I thought it was Ichiya but clearly not. |
| Waifus only represent ideals |
| I feel like the next episode is going to be more interesting, sorry, but I found Arajin to be annoying lately. Still, some cool developments and I can't wait to find out Senya's secrets. Looks like these spirits might want to settle lifelong beef that we don't know yet what precipitated. |

That is completely wrong, tho. Mahoro cares for only her brother, well, it was established like that. She DOES NOT care for Matakara himself, at all. It, for some nonsense reason, was forced in that she "cares about all siblings" when she found out that Matakara has a big bro like 3(?) episodes ago. That nonsense forced trait is now being turned to the max as a tool to further stir the minor romance sub-plot. A plot that barely exists as Arajin is THE ONLY CHARACTER INTERACTING WITH HER. She talked to Matakara once, he is a nobody to her and a non-factor romance-wise.. or well, he was until the author decided to asspull what happened this chapter to pump some romance drama. Will prob climax in 1-2 episodes when Arajin will see her try to help Matakara in a way that makes him misunderstand and that would normally not make sense going by how characters were established but for some stupid reason there has to be ROMANCE NYOW! GRR. Just wanted to point that out. I know this isn't fully on topic but like 90% of your comment is factually incorrect. Arajin an ahole right now, spineless and annoying most of the time and needs to get a grip soon. True. But trying to use Mahoro as an example to showcase why Arajin is a heartless and terrible friend is just plain wrong and the worst you could've chosen. You clearly didn’t watch the episode. She was concerned about him losing his brother and empathised because of how much she loves her brother. She literally tells Arajin to not talk to her again until he checks up on Matakara. |

That nonsense forced trait is now being turned to the max as a tool to further stir the minor romance sub-plot. Mahoro's concern for Matakara wasn't characterized as a romantic thing at all. (At least not at the moment; who knows what will happen later) It's always been Arajin "comically" misreading it as romance the few times Matakara and Mahoro even interacted. She's just acting like a normal, decent human being, who is capable of seeing herself in another person's shoes. You know, empathy. It's not even that "forced" either, because so far we haven't really seen any other character trait from Mahoro. There's no reason to believe she can't be a mostly-normal person outside of the brother thing. I even think it's pretty normal for a girl to dislike Arajin for being annoying, lame and selfish. Even if it's coming from her ridiculous obsession with her brother, her asking about Matakara is still far more kind and reasonable behavior than whatever Arajin is doing. At this point I'm almost wondering if he's a psychopath and has no concept of other people's emotions and suffering. He seems genuinely confused about why he should care about Matakara and what he can do about it. |
| Nooooo..... I miss your smile, Matakaraㅜㅜ |
| Why are they still doing the Jasmine-chan jokes at this point? Everyone knows what the punchline is going to be and it has literally no bearing on anything else in the show, yet we're wasting time on it every single episode for no reason. And with 3 episodes left, Arajin is still a shitty person and character and hasn't developed in the slightest. It's so bad it almost loops back around to being impressive. |
wakabas said: When did Matakara's brother die? Everyone is saying he is dead, but I thought that he was just in critical condition? Did I make that up or something... Was thinking the same here.. Maybe it's a translation thing? If he really died then I hate how they handled it.. |

I'm loving this little sub-plot with the teacher and Jasmine-chan lmao
6:51, 6:54 Need someone to translate this.
A monster? I guess Matakara was traumatized by the bullies and this is the result.
Things are gettin real serious with Ichiya manipulating Matakara. How did Ichiya and Senya become genies tho? Maybe that's the ultimate form of a Honki Person or something.
Arajin at the end of the ED this time.

Embient said: 6:51, 6:54 Need someone to translate this. first screenshot is ألف ليلة, which means "thousand night" in Arabic, referring to one thousand and one nights. second one supposedly related to the word Honki, its not clear to me in Arabic. maybe they used another language which has Arabic alphabet or they mixed between Japanese and Arabic letters |
Reply to SekkeyWho
Oh how I wish for Arajin to get his ass kicked. I really can't think of any other MC in history I've despised more.
| @SekkeyWho He really does suck and some of the contiual gags in this show are getting on my nerves. The Cat cafe guy in particular is pissing me off. |
| bro why did they simply breeze over the brother's death? when I lost my brother I was immobilized for months... not that anime needs to reflect reality, but cmon now make it just a touch believable |
can't yuck my yum  |
| 1) Man , This & Last Episode Were A Total Drag . 2) Since I Chose My Fav. From This , Might As Well Bear It For Her .  |
| the "Emperor" has no crown now. This public bath center moment couldn't have happened at a worse time, it had some potential... during the full comedic episodes. "have you ever thought about how Matakara feels?" what did you expcet as an answer? Now it all makes sense, the two genies were in the same situation as kids. "What you're doing, Matakara?" Payback. You reap what you saw. No, wait. He's resisting... ...for now. A monster? I guess Matakara was traumatized by the bullies and this is the result. it seemed inevitable in hindsight, writing by experience. |

| And these two genies turned out to be not so simple. Senya no longer looks like such a good guy as he used to be! |
