” ♪ ♫ You boors should just disappear ♪ ♫ “
Is it possible for a show to make you change your mind about a character in just one episode? Is 20 minutes enough to make you like a somebody that was meant to be hated in the first two episodes? This week’s episode is dedicated to the great Kakeru Tengenji, part time Kabuki actor but full time douche-bag.
♪ ♫ ♩ ♬ ♭
This week’s episode starts with Nayuki making breakfast and lunch to his” Friend” Yuta. But since Yuta is already late for his class he leaves pretty quickly. Such a waifu material this Nayuki. He happens to overhear Tengenji in his room saying :“ I will be gentle unless you want me to be rough ”. So he basically thinks that Kakeru is spending some nice time with a young fellow woman.
At school Tengenji makes all the girl’s Kokoro dokidoki but he doesn’t have any friends, well that’s not surprising at all. He’s reading a book alone in his corner trying to look smart when Yuta pops up trying to talk to him about the Star team. Since Otori said “no” to his request of firing Yuta from the Star team, Tengenji asks our hero to quit another time because mister Tengenji is such a great Kabuki actor and stuff so he can’t be pulled down by amateurs.
But during his practice session, Yuta can’t follow the rest of the group. So Otori tells them that what’s important is teamwork but then again, Tengenji doesn’t want to work with Yuta who’s shit at dancing. Because he’s sick of hearing Tengenji bitching around, Tsukigami (the blue hair guy with the earring) tries to confront him saying that he’s just a spoiled brat. As an answer Tengenji starts singing. God I wished this way to escape uncomfortable situations was working in real life.
Jean-Michel: “Hey Charibo, why are you still watching Bishouen shows if you say it’s stupid ?”
Myself: “…”
Jean-Michel: “Charibo ? “
Myself: ” ♪ ♫ Let it goo, Let it goo… turn away and slam that dooor ♪ ♫ “
Fuck me and my life. I like this catchy song. The art style, Japanese inspired, is also great. Well at least that makes sense since he’s a Kabuki actor ʕ ◔ᴥ◔ ʔ
Aaaahn. If only he wasn’t such a Douche, I wouldn’t kick him out of bed. What is wrong with you Japanese animation?! Why do all the boys with red hair have to be douche bags. Oh ok, not all, I still have Otoya from Uta no Prince sama (such a nice guy). But yeah Kakeru-kun please stop being a spoiled brat. Let’s get over this teenage crisis of yours and you’ll see people might even start to like you. But Yuta can’t wait for him to get over his teenage crisis and decides to pay him a visit to offers him friendship. Because yes, Yuta is a really thoughtful guy:
Yuta: “Hey Tengenji I’m sorry if I’m useless and if I make the team lose “
Douchy-Douche: “ Yeah you’re useless go away”
Yuta: “But you know I have a dream, I want everybody to be friends, dancing together and holding each others hands like in every straight anime “
Douchy-Douche: “Why are you talking to me anyway. Am I not the guy who insults you in front of everyone ?”
Yuta: “That’s right but let’s be friends”
Douchy-Douche: “I also tried to convinced Otori-senpai to fire you from the team”
Yuta: “…”
Douchy-Douche: “…”
Yuta: “Let’s be friends ! “
Anyway, because Tengeji doesn’t want to be friend with Yuta, the last one keeps on harassing him in front of his door and let Tavian the cat escape. That’s right, the deep secret of the greatest douche that earth ever carried is finally revealed: He is actually a cat lover ʕ ᓀ ᴥ ᓂ ʔ
Waouh, Is this supposed to make us like him better ? He’s a total jerk to everyone but it’s okay because he can be nice to a cat ? So yeah, no heart breaking background story for Tengenji, just the cat lover thing. Although I must admit his concern about his cat is cute but it will be better if he was also concern about Humans.
So Yuta and Nayuki help him looking for the missing Tavian even if Yuta hates cats. Because he’s so worried about his cat Tengenji starts to randomly sings in the street:
“ ♪ ♫ I want to hold you in my arms, you’re a cute angel, I don’t mind falling in love if this is what love is. Stand by my side forever ♪ ♫”
This is fucking amazing. Best part of this episode. I literally spat my cereals on my computer screen when he started signing this.
It really looked like a love song. A zoophile love song . And NO YUTA THIS ISN’T SUGOI AT ALL this is freaking weird. Stop standing in the middle of the night looking at him, don’t even start to have gay feelings for him run for your life! Oh wait, I almost forgot. You’re safe. He might be the only guy of this show that isn’t into dudes but in cats. Fair enough. So after a certain time Tengenji finally found his cat crush and they live happily ever after and have a lot of cats-jerks kids. End of the story.
Ok I’ll stop the weird fan fiction here.
Tengenji is actually cute with his cat. When he said that he was afraid of losing him because then he will be alone it made me go “aaaaaahn, so cute”. He also refers cats as angels and that’s so cuuute… Ahem
He gets a lot nicer after finding out that Yuta and Nayuki were out all night looking for Tavian because they knew it was Tengenji’s best friend. He even helps Yuta with his dance and give him advice. So he becomes nicer and Yuta’s harem has gained another member. Well, he’s still hot headed and proud of himself but the best thing is that Yuta doesn’t really care anymore. He’s not impressed by his big shouting voice when he tries to lecture him. That’s funny. And I’m also glad his personality didn’t completely changed. You can’t get all nice and stuff after being a douche for so long ʕ； •`ᴥ•´ʔ
As for Shu, the purple hair guy… He finally talked, he did it! He’s also friend with one member of the first Star team led by the president of the Kao Council.
Also fun fact Yuta is actually afraid of cats because his father bought a creepy cat sculpture that was staring at him when he was a kid. So again no sad background story for Yuta, but oh well, the announcement of this sad story was made in a really funny way that it made me laugh.
From the preview we can see the Tsukigami guy gets all douchy. So Yuta might be a kind of magical girl boy helping jerks to stop being asses to everyone. When one douchy baggy is defeated another one appears. You have hell of a job Yuta. Sorry buddy. But I leave Twat Boy number 2 and the next episode to Midnight, my job here is done !
Oh no… Am I starting to like Tengenji ?ʕ◉ᴥ◉ʔ
Oh snap, I think I am… GOD DAMMIT! This is not my fault I swear, it’s the power of red hair. I can’t control it, red hair and tsundere characters with a softer side are my weakness. I’m sorry…ʕ´• ᴥ •`ʔ
♪ ♬♫ ♩ ♭
It’s alright, cats are my weakness so the minute they added he was a total cat lover i freaked out a little. His cat even looks a little like mine so my heart melted in double time! I’ll bare witness to Yuta fixing the next member of the group into his gay harem!
OMG same here! When i saw the cat jump on his head I stopped then facepalmed. The one character I thought id never fall for….Because of a cat.
Darnnnn itttt
But hes so cute with his cat (////) i have a cat too so its a lil heartwarming when he went to look GAH im fangirling staph me x.x
I was laughing so hard during Tengenji’s song because almost every shot had cherry blossoms in it! How hot does he think he is for his first character song to be literally composed of cherry blossoms swirling in the wind, falling off of trees, still on trees, underneath his feet, etc.
I may actually start watching this show because of these reviews. 😉
Well thank you ᵔᴥᵔ
you should start watching it, just because it’s FA-BU-LOUS ʕ•̀ω•́ʔ✧
