Commenter

"Not painful" is written right on his face

Commenter

Uncle whose feelings are showing on the outside

Commenter

I seriously love uncle's character lmao

Commenter

Your thoughts are literally written on your face (physically)

Commenter

So Uncle's type is where his emotions literally pop up as text on his forehead w

Commenter

It's on~ Love how easy it is to read his face lol

Commenter

Uncle's quirkiness is on a whole another level w

Commenter

Surviving using the most petty tactics ever...

Commenter

Even Genba calling him "shameless" is rich lol

Commenter

He just straight up didn't wanna die

Commenter

Kamakura samurai are wild fr

Commenter

These hyped-up suicidal maniacs...

Commenter

Don't invite ppl to commit seppuku like it's a casual drink w

Commenter

Uncleeee wwww so good lmao

Commenter

The type whose face shows it all w (literally)

Commenter

The type to wear his raw thoughts right on his forehead

Commenter

Just didn't wanna die w

Commenter

Stylin' with memo notes on the forehead

Commenter

Can actually read the forehead text lol

Commenter

Uncle Yuiie is giving me Oda Uraku vibes

Commenter

Having your inner thoughts show on your forehead is wild

Commenter

Crazy how this's gonna turn into such a sad scene at the end ngl

Commenter

Going all the way to Tohoku tho, cuz this era keeps going till the Sengoku period smh

Commenter

Just. Didn't. Wanna. Die.

Commenter

Casual suicide huh~ The forehead is basically an open book of his true feelings lol

Commenter

This uncle is brutally honest for better or worse (lol)

Commenter

Uncle Yuiie's a different kind of escape artist compared to Tokiyuki

Commenter

Having your true thoughts written on your forehead is wild.

Commenter

It literally says "Gonna do it" (smh)

Commenter

Yuiie-dono's character is super intense too tbh

Commenter

That's not what they mean by "wearing your heart on your sleeve" lmao

Commenter

It's showing on his face so much it's hilarious

Commenter

So "showing on your face"... meant his *forehead* huh (wait, no)

Commenter

More like written on his face than showing on it tbh

Commenter

Getting called a coward by a 9-year-old lol

Commenter

Well I guess since everything's written on his face at least you know his hidden motives...??

Commenter

Finally get to see Uncle in the anime!!!

Commenter

The Elusive Samurai, featuring a cowardly uncle

Commenter

Genba seems to have sensed something was up

Commenter

The literal embodiment of "it's written all over your face" w

Commenter

Total opposite lifestyle of Genba who fakes his identity

Commenter

Well, human nature I guess... wouldn't wanna die either tho

Commenter

Even if he doesn't fake it, what he said was kinda rude, but since Tokiyuki already admitted he was just a figurehead, his honesty probably worked out.

Commenter

An honest man just cuz his real thoughts show on his face...?

Commenter

But ppl like this surprisingly live the longest lol...

Commenter

Well I mean almost his whole clan got wiped out and he's still kicking so his mental is strong af

Commenter

Uncle choosing to survive instead of dying is actually huge. Not through brute force or power, but genuinely strong as a person.

Commenter

Yuiie-dono getting called a coward by his own nephew w

Commenter

Come to think of it, Uncle and Shigetomo both have unknown birth years but they're around the same generation so probably the same age, since Tokiyuki's dad would be in his early 30s if he were alive

Commenter

Looks older with the samurai beard, but is he actually drawn around his early 30s like in history?

Commenter

Even here with stuff on the forehead... (such a strong main series link?!)

Commenter

Bocchi Boromaro also has it on his forehead lol

Commenter

Well, I'll think about it later I guess

Commenter

Genba is out here plotting his exit strategy

Commenter

Tengu's about to show up too huh

Commenter

Since Kazuma-kun is a ninja, better off just keeping it businesslike

Commenter

If Hojo Yuiie is showing up... means it's about time.

Commenter

Genba-chan is so competent!!!!

Commenter

Genba, did you notice the enemy attack? Who the hell is that Tengu-masked bastard!?

Commenter

Ah, Natsu's mouth isn't moving

Commenter

The Tengu mask really doesn't move its mouth when talking huh

Commenter

Wait, it's talking without opening its mouth?!

Commenter

Genba is in huge trouble - wait, he just vanished

Commenter

Guess he got let off the hook or something...

Commenter

Talking without moving your mouth...... is he a ventriloquist ninja or what~?

Commenter

Not finishing him off means they're bringing in a character to train?

Commenter

Natsu-chan! Voice sounds way cooler than expected!

Commenter

An assassin directly under Ashikaga!?

Commenter

Wait, I've seen that composition before

Commenter

Genba is totally outmatched here...! That Tengu mask!

Commenter

Straight up Ninko lmaoooooo

Commenter

Not a weirdo, just pure overpowered

Commenter

Nitta Yoshisadaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!

Bro's forehead literally acting like a Twitter bio with live updates is too funny.
