Bucchigiri episode 7 review and summary: Mahoro is not impressed
Bucchigiri? ! finally back after a week of rest. One might have thought that everything would finally be great after the last battle, but that’s not the case, things haven’t changed that much. After showing how manly our protagonist is, Arajin is expecting a lot of things to happen to him. He longs to be treated like some hot figure who has achieved great things, and he gets that treatment from his friends at school.
But he also expected Mahoro to be with him and be completely infatuated with him now that he saved her and the others. Sadly, for him, she was far from acting like that, as she still treated him like a speck of dust, and he was willing to accept that with open arms. But what he thought was a dream come true in this episode turns out to be a nightmare. He never considered the double date Marito invited him to be an all-out battle.
This episode has some nicely choreographed fight scenes, something this anime is famous for. But other than that, not much happens in terms of plot, other than we understand that Siguma Squad and Minato Kai are now in a position of understanding now that all misunderstandings have cleared up.
If we talk about character development, then fans might be a bit disappointed because our hero Arajin remains a simpleton who can easily sell his soul to Mahoro. On the other hand, she was too busy admiring her brother to even glance at her admirer. But yes, Arajin is friendlier towards Matakara, and now he treats him like a decent human being.
However, the mystery surrounding the unusual Honki has not yet been resolved. We see the Emperor is now enslaved by Siguma Squad and Minato Kai, but he still has some tricks up his sleeve. Perhaps this is why his Honki or Ichiya even advised the Emperor to accept what he was facing now. There’s clearly a bad relationship between Senya and Ichiya, and we’ll have to wait and see what it’s about.
Identify
This episode was pretty good, and the fights were fun. Humor also works in some places. Perhaps the most shocking part of the episode was the fact that the teacher finally left Jasmine and moved to Puer.
If humor mixed with intense fights is your thing then definitely check it out.
