| Damn, that headbutt is going to leave a mark. Umemiya was fighting for freedom but this episode showed that it's not easy as it looks. Chouji seems much more happier in the conclusion of this fight and seems to understand what being a leader is about for the gang. Seems ths episode gave both characters a chance to rediscover themselves. One of the more important fights this season. |

| Trust me, but you can be free even WITHOUT DOING cool backflips, throwing punches and dropping “supposed-to-be” uber cool punchlines, but no, then what of this show would even remain relevant lol. Short guy was suffering.. from something, can’t exactly say what, might be his symptoms coming back, so in a way I feel sorry for him as Umemiya isn’t exactly a psychiatrist. Though he still managed to tame him.. unbeatable rizz after all:) Still not sure how this would justify short guy beating his own people just because they too didn’t have a screw loose like him, but I guess we’re supposed to feel he somehow suffered and at the same time be sorry for him. People weren’t his equals, so it’s their fault and that is contributing to suffering. Nice. |
 |
| It's time for the long-awaited showdown. The showdown between Umemiya and Tomiyama has finally begun. Tomiyama believes that by defeating Umemiya, he can gain both Fuurin and freedom, becoming happier than anyone else. With this momentum, he launches a series of swift attacks on Umemiya without pause, but fails to inflict any damage. Umemiya points out that Tomiyama's punches are weak because he has nothing to fight for, a remark that Tomiyama cannot comprehend, causing him to become increasingly agitated. As he takes a powerful blow from Umemiya, he recalls the joyful faces of the Shishitoren gang members laughing together. At that moment, Umemiya reflects that his fist was much heavier back then, much more so than at that present moment. He recalls how radiant he appeared back then, far more than now. And Tomiyama seemed to enjoy himself much more back then, far more than now. Umemiya questions who surrounded Tomiyama back then, what he could see in their eyes. As Umemiya approaches, Tomiyama retreats in fear. However, Umemiya extends his hand towards Tomiyama's face, insisting that he needs to remember what he saw back then, what is essential for him and for the leader of Shishitoren. With a headbutt, Umemiya jolts Tomiyama's memory. As Tomiyama is knocked out, he officially loses the match, realizing what he had forgotten. Yeah, it followed a pretty typical trope, especially for shounen. But, hey, at least the fight was incredible. |

| I've been refraining from saying this but Choji's like the we have Mikey at home version. Anyway as expected Umemiya defeated him and brought him back to normal. Couldn't care less about that and won't make me like Choji but my man Umemiya's a literal wall and his hits were heavy unlike Choji's. Done with this arc, now show me more Kotoha chan to wrap up the season. |
 |
| Lil bro ended up having an absolute fit. Thank god Ume was able to slap some sense back into Tomiyama with some real fists. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| We ended the final fight and it was decent. Also, we got to see Tomiyama's backstory and how empty he felt all this time. But, he lost and our team won and that's what matters. Ngl, didn't feel anything at all, but the music was beautiful and it was doing its job. They're friends now. So, that's good. Hopefully, we can now move towards better things than just trivial fights among each other. |
 |
| Bruh who the hell bites people in the middle of the fight Anyways, Talk no Jutsu was efficient everybody!! I wanted Umemiya to beat him up but he's not the type of person to do that it seems. |
 |
| The story took most of the episode. The fight could've last longer. |
 |
| Loved the music and the glass symbolism, that bite was gross though.. I hope that now they're all friends, we can see some more Bofurin characters. |
| Tomiyama's flashback is really touching! On the other hand, Umemiya's proposal! 😂 |
| If the fight didn't end with this headbutt, I wouldn't sleeped this night. |
 |
| What Tomiyama needed was a big brother and Ume had real big brother energy with the talk no jutsu. I guess Furin and Shishitoren are allies now that the fight is over. I'm wondering how much the anime is going with four episodes left. |
 |
| i wonder if the newbies in that orange club were having brand new blauses done, or were getting them after the skinned guys. |
   |
| Tomyama your punches are too light because you're too freaking light, that's the main reason lol I really want to like this series, I mean the characters aren't all so bad but man they are so overdramatic, I don't like to see backstories of every single character, come on it's not 2007 If they focus a bit more on fighting and fighting techniques or be more unpredictable with the plot, things would be much more interesting... |
| Fanon recap: Umemiya nailed the talk no jutsu and Choji finally found the one piece inside him. My recap: I bet Ume-chan tastes good with vegetables, but CHOMPji is clearly more of a raw meat type. Objective recap: Beautiful oniric sequences and delightfully sappy drama were the main picture, the fight was just a frame. Yeah can relate with the kid, my life's an empty desert too, especially when waiting a week for each episode. @akixangel Given your name I get you are disappointed by the aforementioned lack of yaoi in a shounen? Don't worry, plenty of fan works are coming desu~ |

 watching, waiting, commiserating |
| Ume and Choji beating the daylight out of each other: *no reaction* Choji biting Ume's neck: (wincing) *oooof yikes rabies* |
| Good show for 1-3 episodes, but now I have to drop the score. God, Choji is so cringe. |
| lil bro was actually tweakin. couldn't care less about choji, he's just hard to watch because of the cringe and his whole drama was pretty wack. hope this gets better after this episode. |
 |
| All that cringe and unnecessary drama. At least end the fight in style, not like this. "Let's be friends" BS again! |
| It seems like this anime is trying to show us the difference between a group that fight for each other like family and a group that selfishly fights for themselves instead of each other. These were all good fights and were animated well. I have enjoyed each episode. |
Note: I don’t lazily watch 3-5 episodes, biasedly compare to other anime, or unfairly judge by surface level similarities. With every anime I start, I watch the entire series, both Japanese Sub & English Dub, then judge each anime based on what they present, to give an honest and fair rating.  |

| @Saphiran it seems you missed the real point of the show, because all you care about is fights |

| I think we all learned something today, that sometimes alls you need is a good headbutt... |

gay vibe, bromance a lot, i think they should have kissed each other i would hate less
| @desorcherr this is so real |
can't yuck my yum  |
| A bit too cheesy for my liking, they really ramped it up this episode. |
| honestly, I'm disappointed. the last 8 episodes has been so good and then this... I'm not expecting any tragic past or something like that but at least give me a good reason for it |
| See this is exactly how this sort of arc should end! Instead of just doing a traditional shonen slug fest between Choji and Umemiya, Umemiya realises the key to winning snd ultimately saving Shishtoren is to make Choji realise where he lost his path. Even though Shishtoren have been on a warpath as of late, they overall serve a positive purpose and having both them and Bofurin around is big for the city. Yea the reason for Choji snapping may not have been the strongest, but I just appreciated seeing it worked thru and solved rather than just someone being beat to death and moving onto the next arc ala TR. I think everyone hypes up the animation in the series and for good reason, it is great, but the OST especially during Choji and Kame’s meeting of the minds was so beautiful. Gives me chills and just heightens those emotional moments |

| That was one crazy counseling session. And I hope Shishitoren is important enough for the story to put this whole arc at the start. |
| Animation is great but jeez this story is so bad. I'm having a hard time taking it seriously when it amounts to a bunch of 14-16 year olds having a ton of angst over what amounts to not much really, even within universe. Ume literally tanked all those hits and hit him with the talk no jutsu/therapy session and what was the guys problem? It wasn't that one of his family members got murdered or shot, not severe bullying, not being an orphan raised by neglectful foster parents...no, he just wasn't having fun anymore beating the shit out of people because he got too strong, so instead of looking for other things to have fun with, he had a psychological breakdown for the last year or two and basically turned his friend group into a toxic waste pit, it's just so stupid. |
