Crazy ending but this episode put a lot of pressure on Sanda and his expectations.

Niko also teased him so much this episode that it almost looked like comedy. Funny drama imo but it still retained the dark tone of the storytelling. Sanda himself really cares about the kids and his friends.

Niko made a bold request, but Sanda actually pushed himself and tried to grant it, which he kinda did with that cheek kiss. Yagiuda is sometimes the villain and other times pure comic relief lol, he’s an interesting character. Sanda’s not totally wrong about needing to strengthen his heart, since he’s affected by the kids’ wishes, that could easily backfire on him, just like in the previous episode with the students’ twisted wish. With that ending between the principal and Namatame, it’s pretty clear the danger is probably going to fall on Ono during the celebration. It looks like Ono found something important in the book about the interruption of puberty (maybe something like a reversal in case it stops abruptly?).

PS: Funny how Ono hit puberty and suddenly didn’t need glasses anymore lol.

@PettankoLover Yeah, this is one bizzare world so who knows? Ono's still 14 but with 18+ body.

No one said Santa can't do it with an adult. Hifumi believes Ono's an adult, and a psycho murder-girl will apparently try to kill her since she'll also register Ono as an adult.

Considering how puberty is magical 1 night transformation in this show, I suppuse mental and physical age is irrelevant as long as one has an adult body...

It's anyone's guess at this point still. If Santa is "old school" he may see Ono as a child rgardless of looks (14 is 14) and get insta death after doing something funny. I would bet that is the case.

Well, the question is how the rules for Santa work in regards to falling in love with a child. Does only matter what he knows?

So for example, if he knows someone is only fourteen or so it would kill him even if the person looked more or less like an adult? But would it also kill him if he only saw the person looking like an adult, but he didn't know their age, do they could or could not be an adult in his eyes?

But I guess he knows who is a child via his powers, kind of? But then again, Ono technically isn't a child anymore now, but she is still only fourteen or whatever, what would happen with her?

Never thought about the concept of what Santa might've looked like when he was younger so the glimpse of Sanda mid-transformation was really cool.


I'll hand it to Nanatame. You can't prove you're qualified for a bit job any better than she did.

Namatame had quite the showing in this one, I thought she might be taking a backseat after the Class 10 situation but Oshibu’s went and hired her as a hitman basically, and boy did she choose quite the way to show she’s fit for the job lol, I didn’t think Oshibu died there before he got up but it was still quite gruesome, it’s a good thing he has great reflexes to avoid the headshot lol. There was also the stuff with Ono, it makes me feel for Fuyumura that Ono has changed so much but it looks like Ono might be dealing with some other kind of trouble regarding her puberty, not sure what it is exactly tho, but for now I just hope Namatame doesn’t kill her.

And there was also all the stuff with Niko, that was a saga and a half lol, they really took that little kiss to crazy places with Sanda nearly transforming in front of Niko, and also the reveal that kissing a kid would straight up kill Santa (it doesn’t feel right typing that lol), but Sanda went ahead and tried it anyway. I’m sure Niko was confused as hell by all that but the cheek peck was sweet, it’s just such a shame Sanda can’t enjoy romance in his youth because of this Santa power, it makes me wonder if there’s some kind of loophole potentially involving a Mrs. Claus, but there’s been nothing hinting at that for now.

I feel sorry for Fumi, she is so broken. No child should be like that. Also, why is a fucking terminator running this school?! I am not convinced beheading Ooshibu and booting his noggin into a volcano would kill him at this point.

Sanda wanting to control his heart so he doesn't get killed nearly killed him anyways. That goes to show Niko's romantic wish wasn't as bratty as Sanda was expecting.

If he doesn't control his Santa filled heart, the newly armed Fumi is certain to be a danger to it. The one in the most precarious situation here is Ono, since she's hiding her pain and unlike Sanda, can't regenerate!

more of a lowkey episode. liked it though. the setup with the serial killer kid at the youth festival was great. The Santa rules are getting a bit weird and I wonder how they'll handle the contradictory parts and the gray areas.

Fuyumura saving Sanda's ass like it's not a big deal.. she was so badass ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥
They dragged the whole episode for a single kiss and all we got was just a kiss on the cheek 🤣😭😭
Niko was so patient. She desperately wanted that kiss. She's a keeper.
My man Yagiuda is so fun. He wanted to save Sanda from dying if he kissed Niko but at the same time he was helping Sanda out to make that kiss happen lol
But Sanda doesn't seem to have the same feelings for Niko as he have for Fuyumura. Poor sweet Niko.. Sanda's gonna break her heart.
I wish Sanda would deal his Santa counterpart separately from his 14 year old self. He's complicating both and making it hard for himself.
Namatama is crazy. She didn't even hesitate to kill Oshibu and Oshibu is proud of her. So except for his brain everything is fake. It's really horrible that he uses kids to kill adults.
Regarding Ono.. so did her puberty end abruptly and she started to grow suddenly ? So is she gonna die ? I hope not 💔💔
The way she wanted to attend the youth ceremony and spend time with her friends as a kid one last time and the fact that Namatama wants to kill the adults don't seem to bode well with me. A huge red flag.

@pixelante Seems to be a very important job and ooshibu probably gets good results.
The one running the school is the old lady tho

Fuyumura was great. "If one of your friends is in trouble you go there fully armed" (I didn't watch the episode with English subs, so I don't exactly know if that's how they translated what Fuyumura said) xdxdxd.

And now Sanda's got a harem, including a yandere. Love this show.

The whole farcical plot about the first kiss was pretty fun. I actually like Niko a lot more than I thought I would in her introduction episode! Also, seeing Yagiuda help Sanda out was cool; those two make a for an entertaining duo.

The final scene with Fumi and the headmaster was chilling! I thought the mise en scène was perfect. Now, I'm scared for Ono.

The dynamic of this have a love triangle where he literally dies if he falls in love is just another eccentric element of this series I really love, I also love how the hired goon is basically turning into an accidental ally/parental figure at this point. But the highlight was absolutly the scene between the villain and the psycho girl that shit was so creepy. Excited to see where this arc leads.

This show has just been a constant source of joy for me, you really need to appreciate the weird shows especially now as things gets really sanitized in anime.

Okay, that last scene with Namatame and the director was an amazing villain scene, wow :D Her shooting him relentlessly, him being happy about it, and then evading the headshot and still smiling.

This anime is so bizarre, but it keeps getting better.
If you haven't watched "Fantastic Children", don't talk about "best anime". Thank you.

Santa really needs to toughen up his heart or he won’t last long. The upcoming event is going to put him to the test, and we’ll see how he handles it. If he can stand his ground against the Class 10 students, he’ll make real progress toward becoming the Santa Claus that he need to become.

Fuyumura coming blasting her way into Class 10 to save Sanda's skin, and while he's grateful for it, the delinquents have more of their attention on him now.

Sanda trying his best to keep his emotions in check, but it's clear that despite transforming into Santa or not, kissing someone younger his age sure will cause all sorts of problems, especially when he comes to contact with something red, with blood being its most prevalent. Despite all that, Niko wanting a proper kiss with Sanda as her formal partner, and that problem being when Santa dies when he falls in love with a child, this poses quite the dilemma for people like Yaguida. Still, this is one dilemma that Sanda has to get over with, be it being his 14-year-old self, or the burly old man (which by that transformation, he would already be dead). Sanda manning himself to get the kiss over and done with with Niko, but being interrupted by friends and teachers, which they end up getting sorted out, the kiss DID happen, even if it was on the cheek.

Back to Fuyumura, her seeing the mature Ono speak her mind out, it definitely sets in the realism that the former has to chase the latter in terms of her maturity. And with the upcoming Peak of Youth Ceremony for newly-minted 15-year-olds, Class 10's lead Fumi Namatame becoming the next assassin embellished by Oshibu to kill Sanda, man, is she gone...

Disaster's about to fall, when everyone is having a good time celebrating maturity.

Probably my favourite episode of this show so far, had a great start with comedy and real-life embarrassing memories and then at the end more story building and of course utter craziness.

Can't lie loved Yagiuda in this episode, bro reminded me of myself when I watch these school romance type scenes...bro felt more involved in their kiss than killing Santa I feel!
Also Yagiuda just seems like a cool adult in this show, hope him and Sanda keep their fun relationship.

But this wouldn't be a Sanda episode without something insane happening...and of course Namatame just has to tell and show her love of killing adults by blasting the chairman. Did not see that coming, but kinda makes sense with the craziness of this show.
