this arc stretching way back to Hideyoshi's death and Yousuke's disappearance is awesome. So many little moments all coming back and making this all make sense.
Seki is going on a Tatsuhiko rescue mission which is great but this is very messy... omg. I was hoping Tatsuhiko was a metaphorical soccerball but showing Taki sweating instantly made it clear what was happening. GOSH!
As soon as I put it together that they were secretly scouting under Tori I started to fear Taki running into Tatsuhiko. As soon as the car rolled up I started yelling, NONONONO DON'T BE TAKI... but it was. of course he remembers the hair he inititally recognized him by. maybe he should have...

Mako taken aback and showing a moe side to him. Tatsuhiko's resolve to go make amends and help that girl. Tori being the little goofy dude he always is.
Yamashiro and Tokimasa getting adorably wasted, seeing a little into Yamashiro's head- maybe a hint at some exploration of...

KUROSAWA HAS COME SO FAR. LAST TIME HE WAS AT A POOL HE SAID IT WAS TOO LATE FOR HIM AND HE CHASED BUTTS LIKE A SHARK!!! This time.. he said no, my life isn't over yet! My youth can be redeemed... With courage and resolve refusing to let the people's judgement stop him.. He's grown so much...
The beauty of everyone coming together to sell beetles and making money for a truly blissful meal and celebration, more of that spicy life.
The fact that Fukumoto depicted all of the buyers as having the beetle mean something different and personal to them. Escapism, the days where they were...
