「ヤバイ敵」 (Yabai Teki) "Crazy Enemies" "You wanna hug it out?"
Plunderer – 05

Oooku – 05
"Episode 5" At heart, this is a tale about identity
Horimiya – 05
「それは、言えないこと。」 (Sore wa, ienai koto.) "I Can't Say That" An anime doesn't have to reinvent the wheel to be great. It just has to make a really great wheel.
