**BEST COMMENT OF** **WEEK 17:**
Picking a winner was a bit hard as I was undecided between u/TakenRedditName and u/sisoko2.
But by a Jackie Chan’s nose u/sisoko2 won due to his comment about Zura:
>Zura – he is doing some weird Momotaro shit because no one knows how his brain works and nothing can constrain him.
>
>So you end up on an desert island, you are scared but also feel truly free for first time in your life. Which embarrassing act do you perform?
>
>Be Zura

**QUESTIONS FOR YOU – WEEK 17:**
>Whose antics during episode 115 was funniest to you?
Zura was obvious choice, wasn’t he?
>During episode 117 they were deciding how to split their powers in teams based on their power levels. How would you split them? What would be your decision?
You agreed that their split was good enough as it was.
>What’s your experiences with smoking?
Mostly non-smokers. I’m proud of you.
>Have you tried sushi? Which from the various types of sushi is your favourite?
Sushi is just sushi for you as you don’t have a strong preference.
**Also last week you had a chance to vote for best ED from ED 6-10.**
ED 8 – [**Speed of Flow**](https://animethemes.moe/anime/gintama/ED8-NCBD) by [**The Rodeo Carburettor**](https://open.spotify.com/artist/7nncfLC74tCKzPwyFgyb0H) won that one.

**WEEK 18:**
|Episode/arc covered|Lesson(s) in manga|
|:-|:-|
|121 – Monkey Hunter arc|189,190 (2/5)|
|122 – Monkey Hunter arc|190 (3/5),191|
|123 – Monkey Hunter arc|192|
|124|Anime Original|
|125|Anime Original + Lesson 117|
At first, during this week u/Shimmering-Sky had birthday on Tuesday, so I’m a bit late, but Happy Birthday to you, Sky.
For second, episode 125 showed a scene which we didn’t saw during our Rewatch. That scene is from JUMP FESTA 2005 OVA SPECIAL.
I didn’t include that OVA into our Rewatch, because besides the Cherry Blossom scene, the OVA was just repeating scenes which we already saw in Anime.
**IMPORTANT NOTICE -** There are also some others JUMP FESTA OVAs Specials, but I don’t recommend to try to look for them, due to possible spoilers.

**Regarding spoilers:**
Rewatchers please dont talk without using spoiler tags \[Spoilers\] >!like this!< about events which still didn’t happen in anime, don’t name characters that weren’t introduced yet, don’t post pictures of characters yet to be introduced and try to refrain from using arcs and episodes names yet to be introduced.
*DON’T EVEN TRY TO BE VAGUE THINKING YOU ARE SO CLEVER AND NO ONE WILL CONNECT TWO AND TWO TOGETHER LIKE SAYING IT WOULD BE SHAME IF YOUR LOCAL POST OFFICE SENT YOU A BOMBASTIC LIST. JUST. USE. SPOILERS TAGS. LIKE THIS* \[Spoilers\] >!https://i.imgur.com/nojEEcg.png!<
There will be first watchers discussing it together with us and I believe nobody here wants them to be spoiled.
If you want to talk about something you noticed on your rewatch, which is hinting about future events hid it properly underneath the spoilers like the fact \[Spoilers\] >!that the information hidden in this spoiler is totally pointless.!<
