「あの背中を追いかけて」 (Ano Senaka o Oikakete)
"Chasing After Them"

All of the promise the newbies embodied was paid out ten-fold. From the battle of Krusty's army to the newbies stand on the Choushi bridge, these were some of the most exciting battles I've seen in a long time!

(Gensou no... Hirune Nuikyou (Siesuta Rabirinsu))
"The Illusive... Siesta Labyrinth"

Since the start of the second season, I've felt bad for Kumin and Isshiki. I mean, it just felt like they were relegated into the obscure space of bad jokes and running gags! But in typical Kyoani fashion they gave us an amazing episode that focused on our favorite napping senpai.
