After the large reveal of the lethal Tanpopo group we bought final time, this week’s episode Mission: Yozakura Household sees Taiyo get up from unconsciousness and discover himself on a ship, in the midst of the ocean, and essentially the most terrifying state of affairs conceivable: Kyoichiro is Good to him. I do know; I get the shivers simply eager about it. Luckily, this impromptu fishing journey of brotherly bonding is a ruse to cowl up Kyoichiro’s much more plausible plan to lure a bunch of assassins out into the open water with a bounty on Taiyo’s life.
In fact, this seemingly murderous prank is supposed to cowl up Kyoichiro’s double-secret want to provide Taiyo some correct fight coaching and put together him for the onslaught of sources and lethal traps that Tanpopo will ship Taiyo’s method. On this case, it makes good sense that Kyoichiro would have Taiyo tackle a dozen armed assassins earlier than being flung into deep water to manually deactivate a high-speed torpedo after which assist Kyoichiro destroy a whole submarine along with his naked arms. Actually, regardless of the second half of the episode being the mission that provides “Intention for the Suite Room” its identify, it’s this humorous and action-packed ocean caper that steals the present this week. Not solely does it proceed to show simply how menacing Tanpopo is, but it surely additionally reminds us simply how ridiculously overwhelming the Yozakura household may be compared. It’s no surprise Physician Kawashita is so decided to harness the ability of the siblings’ unusual blood cells.
The second mission, through which Taiyo should infiltrate the aptly named Dandy Lion Resort, can be enjoyable, however a step again from the torpedo battle of some minutes earlier. It is a disgrace, too, as a result of infiltrating snazzy accommodations is a type of traditional spy tropes that M:JV might have been lots of enjoyable if there was extra room to play with, however the present largely makes use of the chance for a couple of fundamental jokes earlier than setting Taiyo up with the following villain to battle. That villain is Nohmen, whose defining attribute is that his head is slightly too small for his monumental physique, protecting him inside the established sample of villains with vaguely distinctive however general disappointing character designs. He additionally appears to be overtly homosexual, which is cool because it’s not handled as a joke or something, however actually all I can’t assist however be distracted by how his head is simply… slightly too small. It’s distracting.
Ah, nicely. I am certain the battle with Nohmen in his Hulked-out kind can be lots of enjoyable, particularly because it seems to be like Shinzo will get an opportunity to do one thing for the primary time shortly. Mission: Yozakura Household has had a string of fairly good episodes recently, and I say, “Preserve ’em coming!”
Judgement:
Mission: Yozakura Household is at the moment streaming on Hulu in the USA and on Disney+ in different areas.
