I think that Yumi is real but Jirou is the only one who can see her in pictures (much like Haruka could see the ghost). Either that or Jirou got nursed back to health by eating imaginary vegetables?

Either that or Yumi is both real and not real and is character in Haruka's manga that is not consistent from manga episode to manga episode.

As for Kaito being a penguin, maybe Kaito is really Kaito but got possessed by a penguin Jyuto when he entered Shoujo-Manga-Topia? I don't know why Jin would treat him nicely though.

It would suit Tsuyoshi, being the only non-bishounen male Don Brother, to have Tsabasa walk away with both Sononi and Natsumi in then end and have Tsuyoshi left with his doll.

Great episode, looks like business is picking up in time for the end of the series.

We've got some wild turns at the end here. I enjoy the goofs and the silliness, but glad there is still some real meat left in the show! The team henshin being glossed over was hilarious.

Btw, I took Tsubasa's reaction at the end as like "Stay away from me or otherwise I might fall for you" kind of deal. I though it made sense considering he is very dedicated to Natsumi.

Don't forget that Tarou ate Rumi's cooking too, at the of that cooking competition episode (the number of which I can't recall). So it's possible that if Rumi is a Penguin Juuto too, then she only appears in front of her targets/people she wants to manipulate.

That's also a possibility. But that makes me question his reaction when Sononi (temporarily) dies and how he was worried about Sononi in episode 43 when she was being chased by the Murasames.
And I still can't figure out if Tsubasa willingly used his Kibi Points to resurrect Sononi, or did Zenkaizer Black act on his own will? Am I the only one who's curious about that?

I think it makes sense. Like I said, Sononi made a mistake, but she also saved Natsumi/Miho and took a hit for Tsubasa too. Even if he's mad at her, it'd be messed up to let her die for it since she basically makes up for her mistakes with her life. The fact that he uses the points but can't process with how to deal with her feels like well-observed human behavior

On the subject of Rumi: I forget which episode it was, but there was also one point where she had plans to go and visit Jirou, but then later we saw a small scene with her mum saying she couldn't be bothered to go and was now staying put.

If she was just a figment of Jirou's imagination the entire time, I can't see how that could've happened - he wasn't even involved with that scene.

I liked this episode a lot, for an older viewer like me who grew up with Bioman, the references were nice :
The hitotsuki's "host" look is a nod to Monster, who was the funny/ridiculous villain in Bioman, he often got scolded, and his boss reminisces of Dr Man (the hairdo is quite obvious). And when he forces people to compliment him, they do the Bioman roll call ! That was funny and better than what we usually get with hitotsukis.

That said, I'm wondering if kid viewers have a single clue what's going on in this show. I mean, I'm turning 39 this year and even I have no idea. But that show is really something else, it has better characters than the one-liner machines from Ninninger or Kyuranger, likeable villains, flawed heroes...I'll put up with the nonsense if it keeps being so entertaining til the end ! I can get why people don't like it (or Inoue's work in general), though.

Part of me wonders if the reason I'm liking Donbrothers so much is because of how low my expectations were. I did not enjoy Zenkaiger, and I was expecting Zenkaiger Series 2. So when episode 1 came out, and it was GOOD, and it was a focus on a non-red, and a girl at that, I was definitely intrigued.
