Inner conflict

This episode had the biggest battle yet between hunters and earth fiends. Luo was given a similar vibe as River in Serenity movie. She definitely went beserk and did a lot of damage. For as intense as this battle was it didn’t have that big of an emotional impact on me because I really don’t care about most of these characters. It had the makings of a good story but it wasn’t fleshed out enough to really feel engaged with a lot of the cast. It was interesting having Luo’s mom there, but her finishing off Lin XiRou and Luo making a rookie mistake with sword while Yan Tuo was not able to provide backup with a decent weapon, greatly diminished the viewers’ satisfaction at the ending of a major villain. The mom has taken Luo to parts unknown and Yan Tuo wakes up by the doc after being in a coma. The hunters have made memorials for the lost hunters but their weapons and capabilities were so mismatched with the earth fiends that it simply made me wonder what happened to their training and why weren’t they more innovative with long range weaponry. It’s truly a wonder any of them survived because Luo was the only one making serious damage and she ended up stabbing XiRou rather than pithing her from an aerial attack. We are given more of the doc’s back story and why he assisted both sides. This should have been the earth shattering battle of the ages between these two groups and it really was more meh than good job kicking ass. There was a lot of buildup but that turned out to be better than the actual confrontation.

this is the reason i didn't like how considerate…

this is the reason i didn't like how considerate Shizuma was, how he tried to understand Minato's b*tchy behavior, even though his kneejerk reaction was the right one (when he heard about the bet). ************************************************************the way Minato treated Shizuma in this ep was deplorable. 1st he plays hard to get, telling him he's busy (basically getting back at him, cause he was busy with his internship) then he only called him out, cause he wanted Shizuma to stop his sibling from moving in with Itsuki & even then he was distant & standoffish. like WTF - that's why even though i don't like Yuka, i was so freakin happy that she called Shizuma & took him away from Minato, who only wanted to finally hangout & spend time together, cause his older brother moved in with his young lover & Minato felt lonely & needed Shizuma for a pick-me-up, dude is so freakin immature, it is infuriating. **********************************************************************************************i get that whatever his hang-ups r, he wont suddenly get over them cause Shizuma came into his life, but he is totally messing with a good-man. *************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************the whole scene with the gay guys & his getting angry at Shizuma, when he was frustrated at himself & angry at his older brother, he took it out of Shizuma & Shizuma just stood there still pleading with him, trying to be understanding & patient, indulgent even. only for Minato to throw his kindness back in his face, actively stomping on his heart on the way out - cause Shizuma , his feeling don't count. ****************************************************************************************************sorry, but i don't think Minato is worthy of Shizuma (& i doubt he ever will be), Shizuma is too good to be true & he for sure deserves someone who wont use him as a verbal punching bag, he deserves someone who appreciates what he brings to the table & is ready to give as much as they get... that aint Minto, who is a VERY self-centered character. btw get they will make-up in the next ep, but i aint a happy camper. ************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************side note: how old is Shizuma's younger brother? when he was talking about school, i hope he meant collage & not high school cause i don't care that in Japan the age of consent is 16 - Itsuki from what i can tell is in his late 20's, so that feel so off IMO, but as they not the main couple guess only to me their relationship is disturbing? also the fact that the mother realized just when Itsuki showed up to pick up her son, that they were a couple.. added to the weirdness

we love you kurosaki

i have a lot of feelings about how kurosaki was handled. i am going to be lenient on whether i am missing linguistic & cultural context but to be honest a lot of this show is very ' ' deer princess celestia today i learned a valuable lesson about friend+ship ' ' . which it's cheesy ,& effective because iu do think they got a good resolve but i think some of the medium parts & conflicts could've gone further. there is genuinely like a lot that gets glossed over ｡･:*:･ﾟ★,｡･:*:･ﾟ☆　　 ｡･:*:･ﾟ★,｡･:*:･ﾟ☆ i like that we didn't focus on whether kurosaki was entirely justified in his initial offense ,what we know is that he was never given a fair chance for his action to be justified & that ucchi as a friend stands by & believes the good he knows. & then we have shin who also cares about kurosaki but he is our teen voice of reason ,which means he's still a teenager that is infallible but he knows better. not necessarily here though because he has to take a back+seat role ,which is evidently knowing better than going so far sure in either direction when none of them really know that information ｡･:*:･ﾟ★,｡･:*:･ﾟ☆　　 ｡･:*:･ﾟ★,｡･:*:･ﾟ☆ something i also really like is that this is a great way to develope ucchi & shin while making sure we have a very new & i believe necessary adolescent character to explore. generally every student in or related to ckass 3d represent the--school to prison pipe+line--but i feel like kurosaki is the best example of it & closest we've gotten to see a student that feels so far gone. i think of the kids we've spot+lighted so far he had one of the best story+lines. most of the time ,people don't hurt others for no reason. people don't steal for no reason. crime never exists in a vacuum. we can see how he physically does not want to actually do the things he does ,but what other options has society given him ? i think we see his hesitation & inability to be the monster he was punished as ,but i craved seeing them sit down to actually address how being branded a drop+out assailant changes his life & how he is like sixteen with no concept of a better life. i think it would be also nice to have him reflect & process his relationships with people more meaningfully. like yeah obviously the bad friends are going to leave ,but kurosaki knows these people don't really care about him in the first place i want to hear about why he sticks around them. i think it would've been nice when yamaguchi sensei found him in the gymnasium we heard what he wanted to be & how lost he feels now ,not fully said maybe but something she can understand. this might undercut grandfather coming in to give us the moral of the story but that can be tweaked ｡･:*:･ﾟ★,｡･:*:･ﾟ☆　　 ｡･:*:･ﾟ★,｡･:*:･ﾟ☆ iwamoto sensei is okay but he needs some editing. him & kurosaki end up suffering from the episodic wrapping up at the end ,where i did really like this ending but that was an ending that had to happen no matter if i think they were fully developed with their nuances. his apology wasn't perfect & i get why it shouldn't be & he acknowledges how he needs to change in the end ,but i wanted to hear him ,after yamaguchi sweeps in ,center kurosaki better but i don't know ,no i think it was better as is. i do like his line about not being able to be a good teacher for his students like yamaguchi is. i like seeing when characters like her finally make the break+through to being respected for the work they do ,especialklty when it might be gone ion one single reveal ｡･:*:･ﾟ★,｡･:*:･ﾟ☆　　 ｡･:*:･ﾟ★,｡･:*:･ﾟ☆ some final things i like is that when shin & ucchi were getting trying to break through to kurosaki when it puts themselves at risk we see them through thios shakey camera ,the first shot of shin was so beautifully taken. it's also nice to see male characters cry. people get hurt & emotions come out. I'm also ignoring the beginning segment where they keep joking about yamaguchi coyly wanting her students' romantic affection i don;'t have time for that right now. i like this episode & i like kurosaki. which is why i wanted so myuch more for this then safe television & easy morals. i think i would also like to see the lives of the non+playable delinquent kids ,because she's a teacher. yes class 3d are her students but she should be there for any child. any person to be honest but let's focus on the ones that we are all responsible for.
