bit exit exist in the Oh, that looks cool. Ah, interesting. So, no, because they then they So, 
this is the first time the bit would exist right here. And um then we always jump out to like 
a a shot outside of it, but they they go to a different angle here. See, there’s a different 
angle there. So, no, the they it’s a bit that they So, they kind of like use the exact panel from the 
manga and then incorporate this bit to it. Wait, how sexy is the tree in the manga? This is 
like a little more than episode 3. Cool. Momo my yo voice actress so great. 
You should check out my reactions to Dondon. I love that show. Yo, what a cool uh Oh, it looks like dark matter. Yeah, I don’t think we want 
that, bro. I think we good. kind of felt like I was inside you. That’s wild. That is wild. That’s wa whoa 
whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa. Hey, no thieving. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Oh, whoa. Interesting. He’s trying 
to He wants more. Wow. That’s crazy. Yo, the sexual connotations 
here, this euphemism, this that’s crazy, dude. I’m telling you, bro. The symbolism, the analogy, 
the I don’t know. That is crazy. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Whoa. Hey. Oh. Hey. Oh. Hey. You better free him. Free him, bro. 
Free him. Free him. Free him. Let him pull out. What the [ __ ] Oh, hell no. Bro, 
you got to stop. You got to stop. Remember, you got to stop. You got to stop. 
You got to stop. You got to stop. Whoa. Wow. How do you even keep up the straight 
face? Because I can’t. What do you mean the straight face? Like you find it funny. Maybe you 
laugh during uncomfortable situations, things that make you uncomfortable or something. I don’t know. 
Um, it’s just interesting. I That’s I guess how I keep a straight face. It’s just so interesting the 
way that the author is able to to use this to to literally mean something completely different. it. 
I just find it so interesting and I don’t know. So when when he says like I just touched you back, 
there’s almost a part of me that feels like maybe this isn’t even hopefully this doesn’t anyways. 
Anyways, okay. So it almost makes me feel like this isn’t a euphemism or analogy for Yoshi inside 
Hikaru, but maybe the other way around. just now at least him saying it doesn’t feel as bad and 
then Yoshi Ki like Yoshi being the one to to to make it stop. You know what I mean? It felt like 
it was the other way around if it was an actual sexual act. You know what I mean? And that’s 
very interesting. That’s very very interesting. Anyways, yeah, the show is just is just phenomenal 
with the uh with the like the double entandra, the um the euphemism, the analogy, the I don’t 
know what [ __ ] word I’m supposed to use cuz I’m not smart. All right, I’m not like can I pick 
up on things? Sure. Do I know actual word? No, I’m not good word. So, sorry. It really shows 
how scary it is of samesex intimac intim intim intimacy. I intimisticism. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, I 
think so. I think so. But here’s the thing. Here’s the thing. I understand that this is supposed to 
be very much for like same sex, but there are so many like if you you can even like break it down 
further to just being like first time in general, like not even the fact that they’re both 
guys. Just in general, that whole situation is an uncomfortable like I don’t know how to do 
this. What are we doing? Am I doing it right? This is my first time feeling it. You know 
what I mean? Just like at its base level, just a first sexual encounter. It’s like 
an awkward thing. When you don’t know, you don’t know, you know? Um, and so I just 
think that this show displays it so well and it’s [ __ ] hell, man. It’s It’s pretty 
incredible. It really is pretty incredible. I just touched you back a little. 
You got to get used to it. Are you doing this cuz it makes you feel good? 
Yeah, dude. You’re doing You’re doing it bec That’s so interesting, too. Wow. Oh my 
god. I don’t know if he realizes it. I don’t know if he realizes he’s doing it 
because it feels good for him. He’s still doubting himself. He’s still trying to tell 
himself, “No, it’s not because I like it.” Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. That is Wow. Now, I 
think I feel like that part right there definitely definitely definitely like maybe a a base level 
of homophobia and and like him not realizing that he likes it and like him kind of judging 
others without looking inward towards himself. I think that part right there for sure, that little 
exchange at the end there, you’re doing it cuz you like it. Him not realizing that he’s doing it cuz 
he likes it. Damn. Damn. kind of crazy. You could totally read it as him teaching Hikaru to keep 
in the closet. Maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe. Here’s what I mean by mixing. 
Even while you’re still alive, your insides snuggle up to it. Then you become 
a part of it and it’ll stay with you for life. Oh, you’ll start attracting things 
from the other world. That’s why the weird [ __ ] hairy monster 
or whatever was at the house. Yeah, it’s probably darker now cuz you 
stuck it inside him again. All right, It’s more it’s maybe it’s the the the the the 
brand not brand the mark is like a symbol of what he’s done, you know, like getting in there. 
But I’ll be honest with you, I ain’t going in the f Hey, I’ll be honest with you. I’m not going 
in there either. I’m not I’m not I’m not I’m not going You know what I mean? I’m not I’m done. 
I’m not showering ever again in this house ever. I don’t even know if I’d go near a sink. In fact, 
I’m already out of the house. I’m gone. Man, I’m living somewhere else. [ __ ] that. Mm- No. 
Mm- mm. Dang. This old ass PC or like child. Maybe it’s like a kid’s PC. Honestly, what a weird 
looking PC. This looks like an old one, dude. Are you okay, brother? Dude, now that we’ve like determined it’s you 
know what’s going to you know what a bad thing is my mind might be a little too degenerate 
because now that we’ve determined there’s so many like underlying sexual princip principles 
or sexual messages within this show. Anytime somebody says anything it’s going to be 
it’s going to seem sexual. How long are you gonna sit there playing with your pet? 
This is my partner. You know what I mean? these things are like now I there’s no way 
for my brain to not think that you know what I mean even though it’s not what it is. I know 
I know I know I know I know but because there are so many like underlying things it’s like 
I can’t turn off I can’t turn it off now it’s like everything I’m going to find something 
sexual in every single thing that they say every little detail. Is that what you meant 
when you play with little with little man too man? Where is he? Oh yeah I did see something 
walk by. He probably went into the bathroom. I was just about to say, bro. I was just about to say it’s not supposed to 
cut people. It cuts spirits. I’ll let this crane game 
got a laboo. He got a laboo. Damn emo. Wait, what the hell? Wait, 
quit flattering. You’re hardcore emo. Uh, really? You think I’m hardcore 
emo? Really? You think that’s me? Bullies. They got themselves 
a little mall in the town. Oh yeah, he def definitely is. Definitely is. Nah. 
What are you going to do? That was so obvious, brother. You couldn’t have been more obvious. 
Wig ghost. Yo, the wig ghost really had his sister wigging out. Oh, I’m glad he’s saying 
something. Head is going to come through. Hey, chill out. That ghost is going to My 
bad. I didn’t mean to. I didn’t mean to. Oh, this is bro. He mo he likes 
the Momo voice girl. He like the Momo voice girl. Oh, he like the Momo voice girl. He got piss. Oh, he don’t got 
a pith. Welcome to the salon. It’s your job to protect, brother. 
Come on, Nuki. Crush it and eat it. 605 all the way live. What time is it now? just 
stuff in his face, bro. Like it’s spaghetti. Like it’s a bowl of ramen. Oh yeah. Don’t go in 
there. Don’t do that. Oh [ __ ] What the hell? Uh-oh. Uh-oh. Uh-oh. Uh-oh. Uh-oh. Uh-oh. 
Uh-oh. Uh-oh. Uh-oh. Did the hair monster jump out? Oh [ __ ] He’s getting sucked in. 
Oh, hell no. What the [ __ ] No. No way. Oh, bro. I thought the episode ended. 
I’m about to be so mad. Oh [ __ ] Damn, the inside of the bathtub look kind of nice. Their son’s a real dimwit, 
ain’t he? What the [ __ ] What the [ __ ] Oh, this [ __ ] is weird. Oh, no, no, no. That’s so mean. But also kids doing no kid. 
Well, okay, that’s not not not true. Not no kid, but most kids don’t want to admit fault. 
Can’t, you know, they they they don’t take responsibility. They’re very immature. 
Like, it’s I mean, that’s just common, dude. I This is why I call kids dumb the 
whole time. They’re just not experienced enough in life. Can’t expect a kid to act like a 
grown-up. They’re going to do and act like a kid. That’s all very mean things to say. Oh. Ah, damn. Uh-uh. Whoa, whoa, whoa. They fighting. They 
fighting. They fighting. Uh-uh. Oh, hell no, bro. The hair monster got in him. Well, you got to suck it out 
of him, dude. Suck him. Oh, that’s got to hurt. Yep. You got to get it in 
there. You got to get inside of him. Oh, what? Beat the [ __ ] out of him, dude. You went after my boyfriend. What the [ __ ] 
Wait, is somebody out there? What is this? Yeah, I am. Damn. H. Who just pulled up? Mama. I wonder what anime that’s supposed to be from or 
manga that’s supposed to be from. Looks low-key like Naruto. You think? I mean, I kind of get 
you, but it has like little ears and stuff. I see. I see what you’re seeing, though. Oh yo, 
probably in the manga it’s an actual character, but then in the anime they had to 
change it cuz copyright. True to true. Oh, he’s really starting to accept him. I think it’s still down there. What could be good news though? That’s also very much possible. Maybe I But 
deep down, maybe I want him to. Interesting. Interesting. Very, very interesting. Dude, 
this show is just [ __ ] amazing. It’s absolutely phenomenal. I love it. Every 
every episode that we get of this show, I absolutely love the show. Just the way I 
mention every time just the way the author like handles these situations and like kind of 
like encodes it. I don’t even know the the right term I want to use, but like the author 
is able to do something. so like clever, so just interesting. I don’t know. I’m not 
a smart person. I don’t have big words, man. I just I just really like it. I really really 
like it. And the episode was great. And I like that they went back to the the chussy and and and 
you know, delved into that a little bit more. Our boy, our baldy boy, he’s maybe crushing on 
Momo Voice girl. Interesting. Interesting. And uh uh uh you know there’s there’s a spirit 
inside of his home inside of Yoshiki’s home that’s that’s really up to some some some crazy [ __ ] I 
don’t I don’t know. I really thought that Hikadu was more powerful. Maybe he what if there’s a 
point where like Hikatu is starting to lose power as he becomes more human? I don’t know. But um I 
thought he would be able to just take this thing out easily and it it looked like it was taking 
some time while and maybe it’s because it was kind of hiding. It was harder to get to versus 
the other one in the woods that was literally sprinting at Yoshiki. So Hikata was able to handle 
that easily. This one’s maybe hiding. So it’s a hard it’s harder to find. I don’t know exactly 
why why it was much more difficult, why it was able to get away and why he couldn’t just eat it. 
But um anyways, it was a really good episode. Let me know your thoughts down in the comments. And if

  1. I love that we had a whole scene focused on consent. Yoshiki made the first move, being open to "touching" Hikaru again. He was comfortable enough to try it once more, but Hikaru went too far, and when he "reciprocated" the touch, it made Yoshiki uncomfortable.

    Hikaru did it because it made himself feel good, and he expected Yoshiki to just get use to it. But he had to learn the importance of consent, to not do something if it makes Yoshiki uncomfortable.

    That's so nice honestly, I love all the symbolism this story brings!

    Also I love the parallel with Yoshiki being marked on the arm by Hikaru, and Hikaru being marked on his arm by Yoshiki. There's probably a lot more symbolism woven into that as well.

  2. I’ve been waiting for you to react to this episode!! I really love your commentary and theories throughout :))

  3. Another amazing episode!! the animation, the direction, the visual elements, everything was really great. Wig ghost is really creepy and scary 😱

  4. Omg first minute and I'm already loving your reaction "naked body does not matter" ruuuunnnn

  5. Kaoru Tsujinaka is voiced by Seika Hirose who also voices Paula (Drug Store in Another World: The Slow Life of a Cheat Pharmacist), Champe (Lapis Re:Lights), Anina (Echocalypse), Yuri’s friends (Battle Game in 5 Seconds), & a few more

  6. 8:38 I didn't think of that before, but I totally see it now! I like this interpretation you gave of the scene. I love how multi-layered the story has been. The visuals and direction of this ep was amazing.
    thank you for the reaction! i get so excited every week for the upload!

  7. in all the discussion i see of the analogies, somehow ive NEVER seen anyone draw parallels to the aids crisis. not sure if the author intended that but to me it's all i can think about, especially because of how the gay character was called diseased in the last ep.

  8. In the thumbnail, Hikaru's face has a crazed look like a junkie, but in the original he looks more ecstatic and satisfied.

  9. It bothers me a little they took out the part Yoshiki thinks what Hikaru did felt good
    I wonder why

  10. The loving gaze or look of adoration imitation HIkaru had at one point during the cooking class, for Yoshiki— I have kind of outgrown my fujoshi "era" but… AAAAAAAAA!!!

  11. Yknow, I wasn't subscribed until you mentioned the statistics of it. Usually a lot of people just go "nah" but genuinely you are interesting and fuckin fascinating to watch for your commentary. Such an artistic perspective on the show and as an English/Drama student, I thought I'd pick up on a lot of things but nope! You pick up on way more than I do in a lot of parts of these episodes.

    Just feels really exciting to see a new episode on this from you, I LIVE for this commentary, keep going!!!

  12. They're changing the manga a bit, i really hope they don't mess it up though the parts they deleted aren't that necessary, but i feel like the anime story is more forward and well told than the manga which was a bit confusing at first glance

  13. I just want to say, I really appreciate that you haven't been making jokes during the more "sexual" scenes. Most of the reactions I've seen to the show, people can't help but laugh or joke (in a "that's so gay" manner), which is very disheartening. I really appreciate you taking the scenes seriously and critically thinking about what they mean.

  14. I love that you are passionate about your reaction! Comparing the manga with the adaptation, that's dedication!

  15. The summer hikaru died teaching us about the importance of consent is crazy.I love this anime

  16. I didn’t even know Shion Wakayama was in this. I was wondering why her voice was so cute. I really love that VA.

  17. Doesn’t seem to me like Yoshiki particularly enjoys this. Hikaru got him to do it again by telling him he needs to get used to creatures like him because he’s “weak” to them.

    At this point, the only time Yoshiki says something Hikaru does “feels good” is when Hikaru wigged out when they argued after class and Hikaru basically attacked him. Yoshiki was in the process of being…absorbed, maybe? Encompassed? Nearly killed. And was confused that it felt good.

    This time, Hikaru went too far when he “touched back” and Yoshiki had to firmly tell him to stop. He then told him that he can’t just do things for his own pleasure that make someone else uncomfortable.

    Sounds like a good conversation for, uh, “intimate partners” to have. Yoshiki is also following up on what he said before about teaching Hikaru. He basically decided that “Hikaru” is like a lonely, naive child, who doesn’t understand what he should/shouldn’t do. In this case: don’t make other ppl uncomfortable just to make yourself feel good.

  18. Theory : Rie Kurebayashi probably mixed with her husband, and that's why she can do things to the monsters and crush them like Hikaru does. It at least seems like it from the head coming out of the train barrier last ep.

  19. The “mark”- Hikaru grabbed Yoshiki too hard on the arm during one of the previous episodes and left a handprint. If you watch, over time, the mark fades like it’s healing. However, this time it has darkened like a worsening bruise. Seems like it does that when he gets more “mixed” with Hikaru; at least, that’s my theory.
