Just wanna point out that Ash is trolling Eiji extra hard with the "oniichan" (@20:41) thing because, in the Banana Fish universe, he and Eiji are actually speaking English, but he actually said "oniichan", which means that Ash probably looked up how to say "big brother" in Japanese just to annoy Eiji with it 😁🤦♀️
Yeah the language thing confused me a whole lot at first, but then I picked it as basically just English becomes Japanese and Japanese becomes English-
7:00 I find so interesting what you said there about Yut Lung and Sing, about how in order to sing you need air in your lungs. I don't know if you noticed in last episode, but Yut Lung has a red ribbon in his hair and Sing has a red piece of cloth attatched to his weapon, and given that they got to meet at the very end of last episode when they were not really looking for eachother, it really seems like those two are connected by a red string of fate. Also I looove these cutesy cutesy domestic moments they have 😍. Although they are rare, these types of moments are so pure and really show why Ash needs Eiji. He doesn't need him for combat, it's Eiji's inability to kill a fly what makes Eiji so important. Ash needs him to stay grounded, to realize that not everything is evil. He needs someone pure to reinsure him that _he_ is not evil, which with Shorter gone, who was the only one who associated Ash with the image of an angel (while everyone else calls him the devil), he really needs that. I think there's something so symbolic in how Ash's fear of pumpkins lies in him being scared by his own reflection as a kid, and then him telling Eiji how he's scared of himself in the present. It's like he has been scared of who he is his whole life, which is pretty sad. 31:29 and... yes... 😬 good luck
Oooh, that is a really cool note about them being connected by a "red string of fate!" I love color symbolism, so I'm excited to see how that plays out for future episodes! ^^ Ahhh, Ash and Eiji definitely make one another better. Ash helps bring out Eiji's personality and make him "livelier" and Eiji reminds Ash of his humanity, which is SO needed now that Shorter is gone, especially. T_T However, with Ash in this crazy mafia world, Eiji is definitely a weakness, as Max tries to point out to him! **SIGH** And YES! I didn't even think about the reflection part...Ash being afraid of himself, which we see on display in this episode. That is a GREAT point to bring up! Nice! ...and yes, VERY sad. Ahahahaha....so.....thanks for the good luck. Not ominous at all, right? **nervous laughter**
@@RomaniaBlack hahaha, and absolutely agree with the second point you made. Both Eiji and Ash bring out the best of eachother, but at the same time they are the ones that can get the other killed. Eiji being involved with Ash and this crazy world he's not used to is danger, but Ash being involved with Eiji and letting his guard down to enjoy little moments in life is also danger. It's like... it's so good that it's bad XD
@@michelealeeb Yes!! It's crazy that they come from different worlds, but are almost "meant" for each other! And EXACTLY -- "it's so good that it's bad." That is soooo accurate! Ugh...this SHOW. @_@
Fun fact: in the manga when ash says Eiji doesn't need to stay with him forever Eiji actually does reply with forever so excuse me while i go cry in the corner...Hooray for breather episodes and actually letting our characters relax and be carefree for a while. Ash and eiji are just so touching with eiji giving ash unconditional support and acceptance and ash always putting eiji first and showing him a new environment where he can assert/express himself better
That is suchhhh a great addition I wish they had in this episode....their support and betterment of each other was suspected in this show, but this episode just proves it! Ahhh, their bonding was so sweet! Of course, it's Banana Fish, so I'm sure it won't last. But I just adored their friendship and relationship growing this episode! Thank you so much for the comment!
Thank you for the kind words and comment! Yessss, sadly my account was deleted because my Slam Dunk videos were targeted. :( I was so sad, because I couldn't let you all know! Hopefully people will find their way back to this channel! I appreciate you all supporting me! I'll hopefully be caught up this week and be able to keep posting new updates!
OMG thank God, I finally found you again Ms. Romania! I'm disappointed and worried that I could not find your channel. And last I searched you through google and thankfully it lead me to your new channel. Honestly, I just can't stop thinking about your channel cause on my notifications it said comments are currently unavailable I thought my TH-cam has a problem. Only to find that your channel was suspended. 😭 I'm worried cause I'll not be able to see your banana fish reaction, your reaction is the only one that I'm hyped and waited for every sunday to upload. Cause I don't have patreon. Glad that you re-upload your reactions. Been waiting for banana fish episode 11. Your subscribers though 😭
Hey! I'm so glad you found this channel back! Yessss, sadly Shueisha targeted my Slam Dunk reactions, and the multiple strikes deleted my channel. I was so sad, because I couldn't comment and tell everyone about it. T_T But I'm glad I have the new channel up and you found it! I'll be keeping up with the new episodes like scheduled, and hopefully by next week, I have the Banana Fish/Free/Run With the Wind episodes re-uploaded and then I can start with Given, Haikyuu, and Hanako-Kun...hoping to start 2021 fresh and have some new reactions too! Thanks so much for the comment and support! I really appreciate it!!
I had a miniature heart attack when I realized you weren't on my subscribe list. I really look forward to this and I was highly disappointed. Luckily I was able to find your new account. :D I love the relationship between Eiji and Ash. They are just so sweet. They pull out emotions that they don't usually show. Ash is a cool collective leader but he smiles and jokes around with Eiji. Eiji is kind and quiet (like we see in the first couple of episodes). Ibe even says at one point that Eiji is usually well behaved. Ash brings out Eiji's independent side. He does what he thinks is right and is kind of suborn. They need each other, even though Eiji is Ash's glaring weakness.
I'm so glad you found my new channel! Yes, my Slam Dunk reactions were sadly targeted and my account was deleted before I could notify everyone! :( So, Slam Dunk is staying on my vimeo/patreon, but hopefully I'll catch this channel up and be able to continue posting! Man....the relationship between Ash and Eiji developing here...just soooo so so so good! I really liked what they developed here, and Ash bringing out Eiji's personality and more sassy side! I love it! They definitely are better for each other: Ash to bring out Eiji's personality and Eiji to reaffirm Ash's humanity. It's just sad, because in the world Ash has flung into, Eiji is a glaring weakness indeed. SO excited for these future episodes!! Thanks for the comment and support!
AshEiji getting sweet moments, I love this breather episode! About Angel eyes, the picture you used is not from the side story, but an illustration book of the same name. It's sold seperately while the Angel eyes story is included in the last manga volume. I don't recommend looking at the artbook yet it has spoilers for characters that haven't appeared. Shorter and Ash getting to know each other in juvenile detention is so interesting. Ash was quite a problematic teen, especially in that environment but thankfully Shorter took the time to understand him and allowed him to open up in time!
Yes, this episode was MUCH needed after the zaniness from the last few episodes! I haven't specifically looked at the artbook, just the Angel Eyes story -- I've been told to read Garden of Light and Private Option AFTER the show is over, so I'm definitely going to do that! ^^ And ahhhh, Angel Eyes was such a good backstory for Shorter and Ash's relationship. I'm so glad I got to read it, even if it was after Episode 9. Thank you so much for the comment!
@@RomaniaBlack Okay, so you probably got the photo from a google search, that’s fine! Yeah it’s good to read those two after, I’d say Garden of light very last. Thanks for the reply and always being nice :D
@@bishietuikku3588 Oooh, thank you for the recommendation to do Private Option and then Garden of Light. :D And no problem!! Thank YOU for the kind words and watching!
Oh Romania, is there anyway you can post a link to where you got to read angel eyes? I wanna read it so bad.... also! Great reaction as usual! Hope you get ur subscribers back!
Hey! Yes! The link to it is below! ^^ And thank you for the comment! Glad to see you back here! I appreciate the support -- and thanks! Hopefully, people that were wanting to see the reactions find this channel! :) banana-fish.fandom.com/wiki/Angel_Eyes_(Side_Story)/Image_Gallery
I was worried when I couldn't find you on my subscription. I'm sorry for what had happened and I'm glad that you've made a new channel. Btw found you again! :)
Thank you so much for the kind words and comment! I was sad too, but here we are! Starting fresh for 2021! ^^ I appreciate the support and am glad you found the channel!
I totally missed that it was the members of Ash's gang that got him, not Ash! That was some next level sneakiness -- it was so fast! Thanks for the comment!! :D
I could figure out why something seemed off and then it hit me that I didn't see an upload earlier this week. I'm glad a few searches brought me back here. Sorry about your channel. Been there and done that. It sucks. And this ep is one of my faves just because it's the start of Ash being open with Eiji.
Thank you so much for the kind words and support! Yesss, I hated not being able to tell everyone but I'm back here at least! This episode was soooo good, not just for setting up the bond between Ash and Eiji more, but also the war between Ash and Arthur! Thank you for the comment!
I'm so sorry about what happened to your channel! I found you when you were doing the Given reactions and then went on to watch your toilet bound reactions. I love your reactions, thanks for starting again even after you lost your old account.
Thank you so much!! I appreciate all the support! After I get the shows I'm currently reacting to caught up, I'm going to reupload Given and Toilet Bound episodes!
Omg thanks god you are still here XD I was waiting for you to upload, I thought you maybe had some problems and were going to upload late but the time kept passing and I still had no notifications and I was like 😳 then I didn't see you in my subscriptions and got worried that your channel got deleted lol thankfully you are back 😂💜 now I can watch the video haha
I'm so glad you found the channel! Yesss, my Slam Dunk reactions were copyright struck and it caused my channel to be deleted. T_T I was so sad, because I couldn't tell everyone, but yes! I'm back and glad to be getting the reactions back on here! Thank you so much for the support and comment! Hopefully word will spread and people can find these reactions on here!
soo sorry with what happened to ur channel :( but so glad i found you again! it’s always a joy to watch with you so thanks for re-uploading & pushing through this despite everything :) will you be re-uploading all your reactions or only for select series/eps??
Thank you for the kind words! I'm so glad you found the channel again!! I am going to re-upload pretty much everything except the old trailer reactions, Nozaki-kun (I sadly didn't have the foresight to back those up T_T) Movie Reactions (I'll put links to them on here, but they'll stay on Vimeo/Patreon), and Slam Dunk will stay on Vimeo/Patreon -- since that was the series mainly targeted for copyright. My goal right now is to get Free, Banana Fish, and Run With the Wind back up on here since I'm currently reacting to them, and then work on Haikyuu, Given, Hanako-Kun, and RWBY. ^^ It'll take a little time, but I'm happy to do it! Thanks for all the support!
Hello Ms. Romania!! I'm sorry im late to join to this party xD I don't know if u have already reliazed this or not, sure in the scene when Ash asked Eiji to stay beside him Eiji didnt answer anything even tho in manga He did answer "Forever". The fun fact is, He actually DID say it in anime!! It isnt show in this scene but if you look carefully, you can see in opening, Eiji did say "Forever"!!! xD
Oooohhh, wow, that is crazy that he actually does say it! I don't know why they left that out of the anime when it's a big moment in the manga, as some others have noted...hmmm....in any case, thank you so much for the comment! It's NEVER too late to join the Banana Fish party! I'm excited for the new episode this Sunday! :D
RIGHT?! It's been one of my favorite endings to an episode in this series -- we had our tender, quiet moments, and now BACK TO THE ACTION! :D Thanks for the comment!
In one episode when you said:"Ash is 17 I'm older than him", I was like WHAT?You look so young first when I found yours channel I thinked that you were 14! Also about 10,9 and 8 episode they was so emotional.I literally cried all the time.I am so upset about Shorters death.I miss him he was an angel. Lovely,Hana
Ooooohhhh!!! Wow, I'm glad I look that youthful to some people! Thank you so much for the kind words! Yesss, I am much older than 14! I'm glad though -- teenage years are rough! ^^ And yesssss, Episodes 8-10 were such an emotional gut punch; Shorter was my favorite, so seeing him gone from the story was a major blow. I miss him, too! T_T Thank you for the comment! I hope you like the other reactions!
I got so confused when you only had like 10 videos in this channel and some videos had reupload in the title. I understand what is happening now because I saw comments and I hope everything with your channel and stuff goes ok.
Hey!! Thank you so much for the comment! Yesssss, sadly my Slam Dunk videos will be on Vimeo/Patreon only now, because they were targeted. T_T But I'm glad I'm getting things back up on here and hopefully will get back on schedule! :D I appreciate the support and am glad you found the channel!
Oh, wew, you're back! I was surprised, no notifications, so I searched and couldn't find your channel 😱 Damn studios (I mean, it's their job, I know, but they must leave my fav ytubers alone, it's the law) I hadn't noticed about Sing and Lung, that's funny. This is why we need an english master here ! As a SLT, I must add that in my line of work in order to enhance lung capacity, sing therapy is very efficient 😁 Anyway, funny you noticed that before a "finally we can breathe a little" episode, hehe 14:19 "we can't have nice things" is banana fish mood 😂 20:30 and here is the missing line that shows Amazon is evil. In the manga, Eiji answers a very Severus Rogue's line, but here in the anime, he answers nothing. What the actual fuck Amazon ?! Some domestic AshEiji is just what we needed here, you're right, thank god for that. I love seeing them together, how they click, even with being so different. As you noticed it, I don't think the colors red and blue are a coincidence here, the episode insists on pointing Ash and Eiji's differences. And yet, their differences bring them together like magnets. None of them thinks for a second about separate from the other (Ash just bought them both a home sweet home, I wasn't so wrong with the gang wedding, am I right ?🤣). Max says that Eiji is Ash's weakness, but I'm not sure he gets yet how he is also his strenght. Eiji may SEEM plain (especially in the anime), but he does have personnality, or else he wouldn't be able to approach the lynx so close, I mean, the guy can wake up Ash without loosing a jaw, while the gang is litterally shaking with fear, and I think that says it all, right ? 😂 Well, good to have you back on YT, thanks for the reaction, see you next one !
Thank you so much for the comment and support! I was sooo sad that my channel was taken down (Slam Dunk is staying on Vimeo/Patreon now), but happy to get things back up and in the groove! Haha, all the "breathing" puns this episode! What was missing in the 20:30 part? Was a line cut from the anime? And yessss, Ash and Eji are wonderful for each other. I'm so glad that we got these moments this episode to show them bonding more. And Ash's gang is just...the sweetest? Seriously, I love this rag tag little bunch! The "honeymoon" phase indeed, this episode! And ahhh....I have a feeling we're right back in the fire this episode! Thanks for the comment!
@@RomaniaBlack To Ash begging him to stay by him not forever but a little longer, Manga's Eiji answers "forever". I remember my first watching, I was hysterical in front of my tv, like "say something Eiji ! Of fucking course you'll stay forever, so say it !". And then I read the manga, and found out that Eiji originally says what I yelled at my tv. And today, I still don't understand why this doesn't appear in the anime ... 🙄
@@miniglub Oh WOW! I didn't realize that! Yeah....that would have been a really nice thing to include in this! I mean, it's implied with Eiji at this point, but come on! What would it have hurt to have put it in the anime?! Hmmm...
Yeah!! Thank you so much for uploading the reaction video of the Episode 11 of Banana Fish🤗 I was looking forward to it!! By the Episode 10 of the last time, I passed through a big mountain for the time being😆 The shock and sorrow of Shorter's death will not go away, but let's keep an eye on them with a strong heart. You saw the original "Angel Eyes"? Yoshida-Sensei's Ash and other characters have a different charm from anime👐 Yoshida-Sensei's I like character design, and like Ash, the male characters that appear in other manga are also cool👍 As an aside, please refer to it♪ Now, let's return to the impression of Episode 11👊 I was relieved that Ash was able to safely return to Eiji's side. It is completely different from the tense scenes up to the last time, and I mainly draw "everyday scenes" that are rare in this work♪(=first half part) Alex and his fellow are frightened by Ash, who is in a bad mood when he wakes up😅 But!! Only Eiji succeeded in encouraging his awakening without being wary of Ash. Ash too didn't get angry with Eiji and was forgiving💕 I felt the only bond that was built between them♪ It was a wonderful scene where we ate Japanese food together, talked about family structure with Japan, and got a glimpse of Ash's love for Eiji. Eiji laughed when Ash talked about why he hated pumpkins since he was a kid. This scene warmed my heart. On the way, I was afraid of the appearance of the weapons merchant Fly for a moment, but I'm glad that it was safe. Both Ash and Eiji seemed to be ordinary teenage boys(=young people), and the appearance of joking and laughing was dazzling😊 But! Ash had a nightmare and exposed the fragile part for the first time in front of Eiji. The harsh fate of childhood and the fact that shot best friend and killed him... Ash's heart is really full of wounds😢 Ash is very delicate and vulnerable, but has a gentle and deep affection. That's why Ash's heart is tattered by the wounds he's been suffering. Eiji keeps snuggling up beside such Ash. "Even if the world becomes an enemy, I am your ally." The scene here is depicted as a "famous scene" in the manga, and it makes me sad no matter how many times I see it😢 The appearance of Ash clinging to Eiji's knees and crying and Eiji gently stroking Ash's back was very sacred and beautiful. Here, I will provide you with a little information👍 In the original manga, there are many scenes and wonderful words that have been omitted in the anime. The scene where this Ash clings to Eiji and cries... Here too, very nice words are omitted💦 ※It is a wonderful word that fans of the original manga have requested, "I wanted you to put that word in!!" But it has been omitted...😢 You may notice it by reading the manga someday, but there are 19 volumes in total, and it is highly likely that you will forget them, so I will introduce them here. It's not a spoiler because it's a completely abbreviated word in anime! (And a word that will never appear in anime) Ash was telling Eiji, "Beside me... it doesn't have to be forever," right? In the anime, Eiji silently strokes Ash's back in response to that word. However, in the manga, Eiji responds to Ash in his heart, "Forever!" Depending on whether or not this word is present, the degree of impression of this scene will differ. Since it's a monologue, Eiji's feelings haven't actually reached Ash, but it's still a very nice scene, so I wanted you to put it in!! I wanted Eiji to say it even in anime!! It was very disappointing😫💦 This is one of the scenes I would like you to check in the manga👍 There are many parts that can only be experienced in manga, such as really nice words and scenes, so please subscribe to manga someday and immerse yourself in this world view again. I'm sure you will be fascinated by each word💞 Derailed... I'm sorry🙇 In the second half part, Ash used his brain and talent to do something really great😲 I was surprised that an 18-year-old boy was beyond the scope of understanding to do it💦 It's too genius and it's too amazing!! I can't catch up with that thought circuit😅 And!! I bought an expensive condominium to protect Eiji. I think the reason why Ash lives and keeps fighting now is because "getting freedom=wanting to be near Eiji"...😢 Ash has lost even his best friend, only Eiji is left, and even though he knows it's dangerous to be with him, he can't let go of Eiji!! ➡ For Ash, Eiji is the only one and a peaceful paradise😌 Max is worried about the situation of this Ash... Obviously Eiji is becoming Ash's "weakness" and therefore Max described it as "Achilles' heel". This is because Papa dino and Arthur, who are watching(=obsessed) Ash, are worried that they will not miss Eiji. Sure enough, Dino was angry at Ash's actions and ordered Arthur to catch him😱 I don't think Ash will easily yield, but the softening scene of the first half was blown away and the second half was covered with dark clouds...💦 The truth(=commentary) of the last incident in the subway is as follows. 👇 It was Ash's minions Alex and Bones who got on the train in a drunken state. And it was Arthur's adjutant Wookiee who was stabbed by them from behind near the door. As expected, Ash!! We have foreseen the actions of Arthur and have taken the initiative! It was the crime right after I took off my sunglasses to expose my face and "upset" Wookiee! Ash calmly got off the train... All the actions were smart and cool. Finally, Arthur started to move, and I was worried that the fight between the gangs would become even more fierce😰 Will Ash and Eiji's temporary calm daily life be destroyed and swallowed by a mighty whirlpool again...?? Stay tuned for the next episode♪ See you~👋
Thank you for the comment and all the information! I was wondering, based on some other people's comments as well, what was left out! And yesss, Shorter's death is still on my mind...and probably will remain, so! Hahaha! I've heard the "Forever" word being left out -- I took it that it was implied on Eiji's behalf, because let's be honest -- Eiji is completely devoted to Ash at this point, as is Ash to him! I definitely want to go back and read the Manga at some point, though! And YES, Ash's schemiing both against Dino and Arthur was CRAZY at the end of this episode! Ash is really something else! Poor Max, though....he's definitely disheartened by Ash's actions and doesn't like where this is going...I'm kind of on board with Max, here. Ahh, this show is crazy! I can't wait to see what happens next! Thanks so much for all the info and taking the time to make this! That was great!!
@@RomaniaBlack Thank you for your reply💞 And information. You're welcome👐 Yes! Shorter's "death" is really sad and unforgettable... I understand your feelings😢 But! Shorter's lives on in Ash, Eiji, and in our hearts♪ Don't forget😌 And yes! I'm really impressed with Eiji's devoted love for Ash! Really wonderful fraternity💕 And Eiji's humanity, the breadth of the heart and warmth that give Ash such affection... everything captures the hearts of those who see it. Beautiful affection💕 One day, please thoroughly enjoy the parts that had to be omitted in the animation, including this "forever...", In the manga! I highly recommend it👍 The strategy that Ash showed... it was really amazing😲 I think there will be many opportunities to see Ash's ability in the future, so please look forward to it♪ And I also sympathized with Max's anxiety💦 Max is an important character who will be our "Speaker"👍 Your expectations for "Banana Fish" will never stop!! Please continue to enjoy the anime♪ ※I'm really sorry for the long comments🙇💦 Unlike Japanese, I can't speak English, so I don't have a way to shorten sentences, so when I try to post what I want to convey, it becomes a long sentence😓 Perhaps my English is very poor and hard to read... sorry🙇 And! Don't worry!! It's perfectly fine to spend time commenting👍 Rather than that, thank you so much for your love of the information and comments I provide💞 See you again~👋
@@KA_7788 Yes, we can remember Shorter's character as we move on!! I'm REALLY interested in seeing where Ash and Max's character goes and I'm sooo ready for this season to pick up steam! Also, no worry about apologizing! That makes a lot of sense! and I really appreciate all of your information! Getting a Japanese perspective from an anime/manga viewer/reader is really important and I'm happy to get your thoughts on these series! Thank you!
@@RomaniaBlack Thank you for your reply 💞 And thank you for your kind words! I was really relieved to hear that. We look forward to your continued good exchanges 🤗👋
![Banana Fish: Episode 3 Reaction! "Across the River and Into the Trees!" [REUPLOAD]](/img/n.gif)
Just wanna point out that Ash is trolling Eiji extra hard with the "oniichan" (@20:41) thing because, in the Banana Fish universe, he and Eiji are actually speaking English, but he actually said "oniichan", which means that Ash probably looked up how to say "big brother" in Japanese just to annoy Eiji with it 😁🤦♀️
Awwww, that is so funny! XD That makes sense why it was said so oddly! Awww, I love it! Thank you so much for the comment and watching!!
Jeez I love ash lmao 💀
Yeah the language thing confused me a whole lot at first, but then I picked it as basically just English becomes Japanese and Japanese becomes English-
7:00 I find so interesting what you said there about Yut Lung and Sing, about how in order to sing you need air in your lungs. I don't know if you noticed in last episode, but Yut Lung has a red ribbon in his hair and Sing has a red piece of cloth attatched to his weapon, and given that they got to meet at the very end of last episode when they were not really looking for eachother, it really seems like those two are connected by a red string of fate.
Also I looove these cutesy cutesy domestic moments they have 😍. Although they are rare, these types of moments are so pure and really show why Ash needs Eiji. He doesn't need him for combat, it's Eiji's inability to kill a fly what makes Eiji so important. Ash needs him to stay grounded, to realize that not everything is evil. He needs someone pure to reinsure him that _he_ is not evil, which with Shorter gone, who was the only one who associated Ash with the image of an angel (while everyone else calls him the devil), he really needs that.
I think there's something so symbolic in how Ash's fear of pumpkins lies in him being scared by his own reflection as a kid, and then him telling Eiji how he's scared of himself in the present. It's like he has been scared of who he is his whole life, which is pretty sad.
31:29 and... yes... 😬 good luck
Oooh, that is a really cool note about them being connected by a "red string of fate!" I love color symbolism, so I'm excited to see how that plays out for future episodes! ^^
Ahhh, Ash and Eiji definitely make one another better. Ash helps bring out Eiji's personality and make him "livelier" and Eiji reminds Ash of his humanity, which is SO needed now that Shorter is gone, especially. T_T However, with Ash in this crazy mafia world, Eiji is definitely a weakness, as Max tries to point out to him! **SIGH**
And YES! I didn't even think about the reflection part...Ash being afraid of himself, which we see on display in this episode. That is a GREAT point to bring up! Nice! ...and yes, VERY sad.
Ahahahaha....so.....thanks for the good luck. Not ominous at all, right? **nervous laughter**
@@RomaniaBlack hahaha, and absolutely agree with the second point you made. Both Eiji and Ash bring out the best of eachother, but at the same time they are the ones that can get the other killed. Eiji being involved with Ash and this crazy world he's not used to is danger, but Ash being involved with Eiji and letting his guard down to enjoy little moments in life is also danger. It's like... it's so good that it's bad XD
@@michelealeeb Yes!! It's crazy that they come from different worlds, but are almost "meant" for each other! And EXACTLY -- "it's so good that it's bad." That is soooo accurate! Ugh...this SHOW. @_@

Luckily I was able to find your new account. :D I love the relationship between Eiji and Ash. They are just so sweet. They pull out emotions that they don't usually show. Ash is a cool collective leader but he smiles and jokes around with Eiji. Eiji is kind and quiet (like we see in the first couple of episodes). Ibe even says at one point that Eiji is usually well behaved. Ash brings out Eiji's independent side. He does what he thinks is right and is kind of suborn. They need each other, even though Eiji is Ash's glaring weakness.
I'm so glad you found my new channel! Yes, my Slam Dunk reactions were sadly targeted and my account was deleted before I could notify everyone! :( So, Slam Dunk is staying on my vimeo/patreon, but hopefully I'll catch this channel up and be able to continue posting!
Man....the relationship between Ash and Eiji developing here...just soooo so so so good! I really liked what they developed here, and Ash bringing out Eiji's personality and more sassy side! I love it! They definitely are better for each other: Ash to bring out Eiji's personality and Eiji to reaffirm Ash's humanity. It's just sad, because in the world Ash has flung into, Eiji is a glaring weakness indeed. SO excited for these future episodes!! Thanks for the comment and support!
AshEiji getting sweet moments, I love this breather episode! About Angel eyes, the picture you used is not from the side story, but an illustration book of the same name. It's sold seperately while the Angel eyes story is included in the last manga volume. I don't recommend looking at the artbook yet it has spoilers for characters that haven't appeared. Shorter and Ash getting to know each other in juvenile detention is so interesting. Ash was quite a problematic teen, especially in that environment but thankfully Shorter took the time to understand him and allowed him to open up in time!
Yes, this episode was MUCH needed after the zaniness from the last few episodes! I haven't specifically looked at the artbook, just the Angel Eyes story -- I've been told to read Garden of Light and Private Option AFTER the show is over, so I'm definitely going to do that! ^^ And ahhhh, Angel Eyes was such a good backstory for Shorter and Ash's relationship. I'm so glad I got to read it, even if it was after Episode 9. Thank you so much for the comment!
@@RomaniaBlack Okay, so you probably got the photo from a google search, that’s fine! Yeah it’s good to read those two after, I’d say Garden of light very last. Thanks for the reply and always being nice :D
@@bishietuikku3588 Oooh, thank you for the recommendation to do Private Option and then Garden of Light. :D And no problem!! Thank YOU for the kind words and watching!
Oh Romania, is there anyway you can post a link to where you got to read angel eyes? I wanna read it so bad.... also! Great reaction as usual! Hope you get ur subscribers back!
Hey! Yes! The link to it is below! ^^ And thank you for the comment! Glad to see you back here! I appreciate the support -- and thanks! Hopefully, people that were wanting to see the reactions find this channel! :)

the glasses in Shorter's honor... This is honestly one of my favorite episodes of banana fish, my favorite out of the first half. Incredible
UGH, right?! It's SUCH a good episode! Definitely underrated! Thank you for the comment!
I was worried when I couldn't find you on my subscription. I'm sorry for what had happened and I'm glad that you've made a new channel. Btw found you again! :)
Thank you so much for the kind words and comment! I was sad too, but here we are! Starting fresh for 2021! ^^ I appreciate the support and am glad you found the channel!
i know this sounds wrong but i only watch reaction videos because i can’t find the anime on any of the illegal websites i watch 😭
Thanks for the comment!
this episode is like an apology for whats about to happen 😭
Yesssss very much so! Thank you for the comment!
I love the part where the guy got stabbed, i had to rewind to see it, bc i blinked and missed it too!
I totally missed that it was the members of Ash's gang that got him, not Ash! That was some next level sneakiness -- it was so fast! Thanks for the comment!! :D
I could figure out why something seemed off and then it hit me that I didn't see an upload earlier this week. I'm glad a few searches brought me back here. Sorry about your channel. Been there and done that. It sucks.
And this ep is one of my faves just because it's the start of Ash being open with Eiji.
Thank you so much for the kind words and support! Yesss, I hated not being able to tell everyone but I'm back here at least!
This episode was soooo good, not just for setting up the bond between Ash and Eiji more, but also the war between Ash and Arthur! Thank you for the comment!
I'm so sorry about what happened to your channel! I found you when you were doing the Given reactions and then went on to watch your toilet bound reactions. I love your reactions, thanks for starting again even after you lost your old account.
Thank you so much!! I appreciate all the support! After I get the shows I'm currently reacting to caught up, I'm going to reupload Given and Toilet Bound episodes!
Omg thanks god you are still here XD I was waiting for you to upload, I thought you maybe had some problems and were going to upload late but the time kept passing and I still had no notifications and I was like 😳 then I didn't see you in my subscriptions and got worried that your channel got deleted lol thankfully you are back 😂💜 now I can watch the video haha
I'm so glad you found the channel! Yesss, my Slam Dunk reactions were copyright struck and it caused my channel to be deleted. T_T I was so sad, because I couldn't tell everyone, but yes! I'm back and glad to be getting the reactions back on here! Thank you so much for the support and comment! Hopefully word will spread and people can find these reactions on here!
soo sorry with what happened to ur channel :( but so glad i found you again! it’s always a joy to watch with you so thanks for re-uploading & pushing through this despite everything :)
will you be re-uploading all your reactions or only for select series/eps??
Thank you for the kind words! I'm so glad you found the channel again!! I am going to re-upload pretty much everything except the old trailer reactions, Nozaki-kun (I sadly didn't have the foresight to back those up T_T) Movie Reactions (I'll put links to them on here, but they'll stay on Vimeo/Patreon), and Slam Dunk will stay on Vimeo/Patreon -- since that was the series mainly targeted for copyright.
My goal right now is to get Free, Banana Fish, and Run With the Wind back up on here since I'm currently reacting to them, and then work on Haikyuu, Given, Hanako-Kun, and RWBY. ^^ It'll take a little time, but I'm happy to do it! Thanks for all the support!
Hello Ms. Romania!!
I'm sorry im late to join to this party xD
I don't know if u have already reliazed this or not, sure in the scene when Ash asked Eiji to stay beside him Eiji didnt answer anything even tho in manga He did answer "Forever".
The fun fact is, He actually DID say it in anime!! It isnt show in this scene but if you look carefully, you can see in opening, Eiji did say "Forever"!!! xD
Oooohhh, wow, that is crazy that he actually does say it! I don't know why they left that out of the anime when it's a big moment in the manga, as some others have noted...hmmm....in any case, thank you so much for the comment! It's NEVER too late to join the Banana Fish party! I'm excited for the new episode this Sunday! :D
that last part in the train, together with the ED in the background, was so smooth and cool!!
RIGHT?! It's been one of my favorite endings to an episode in this series -- we had our tender, quiet moments, and now BACK TO THE ACTION! :D Thanks for the comment!
I am in love with this show. Oh, my gosh! 😭
It's amazing, right!? Definitely my favorite! Thank you for the comment!
eiji waking his husband up❤
Such a beautiful scene! Thank you for the comment!
Omg MSBY Black Jackals now I love you even more
Heck YEAH! I looooooove MSBY! Thank you for the kind words and comment!
Same here I was watching her videos until my ipad died and I forgot to subscribe but then I found you again after 2 weeks of looking! 😄
Oh, thank you for the subscription! ^^ I really appreciate it! :D :D
Girl i will sub you😂 ❤
Ahhh thank you so much for the support and comment! I appreciate it!
In one episode when you said:"Ash is 17 I'm older than him", I was like WHAT?You look so young first when I found yours channel I thinked that you were 14!
Also about 10,9 and 8 episode they was so emotional.I literally cried all the time.I am so upset about Shorters death.I miss him he was an angel.
Lovely,Hana
Ooooohhhh!!! Wow, I'm glad I look that youthful to some people! Thank you so much for the kind words! Yesss, I am much older than 14! I'm glad though -- teenage years are rough! ^^
And yesssss, Episodes 8-10 were such an emotional gut punch; Shorter was my favorite, so seeing him gone from the story was a major blow. I miss him, too! T_T Thank you for the comment! I hope you like the other reactions!
Angel eyes is my favorite,, I'm so glad you read it!!! I love Shorter and Ash content!! :((((
Yesssss, it's so good! Any Shorter content, I'm all about! Thank you for the comment!
I got so confused when you only had like 10 videos in this channel and some videos had reupload in the title. I understand what is happening now because I saw comments and I hope everything with your channel and stuff goes ok.
Hey!! Thank you so much for the comment! Yesssss, sadly my Slam Dunk videos will be on Vimeo/Patreon only now, because they were targeted. T_T But I'm glad I'm getting things back up on here and hopefully will get back on schedule! :D I appreciate the support and am glad you found the channel!
I will watch to 15 today I finally finished studying and im back
Awesome!! Glad to have you back!! I'm excited for you to get caught back up -- these last several episodes! @___@ Thanks for the comment!
yay !
Thank you for the comment! Glad you've found the new upload!! ^^
Oh, wew, you're back! I was surprised, no notifications, so I searched and couldn't find your channel 😱 Damn studios (I mean, it's their job, I know, but they must leave my fav ytubers alone, it's the law)
I hadn't noticed about Sing and Lung, that's funny. This is why we need an english master here ! As a SLT, I must add that in my line of work in order to enhance lung capacity, sing therapy is very efficient 😁 Anyway, funny you noticed that before a "finally we can breathe a little" episode, hehe
14:19 "we can't have nice things" is banana fish mood 😂
20:30 and here is the missing line that shows Amazon is evil. In the manga, Eiji answers a very Severus Rogue's line, but here in the anime, he answers nothing. What the actual fuck Amazon ?!
Some domestic AshEiji is just what we needed here, you're right, thank god for that. I love seeing them together, how they click, even with being so different. As you noticed it, I don't think the colors red and blue are a coincidence here, the episode insists on pointing Ash and Eiji's differences. And yet, their differences bring them together like magnets. None of them thinks for a second about separate from the other (Ash just bought them both a home sweet home, I wasn't so wrong with the gang wedding, am I right ?🤣).
Max says that Eiji is Ash's weakness, but I'm not sure he gets yet how he is also his strenght. Eiji may SEEM plain (especially in the anime), but he does have personnality, or else he wouldn't be able to approach the lynx so close, I mean, the guy can wake up Ash without loosing a jaw, while the gang is litterally shaking with fear, and I think that says it all, right ? 😂
Well, good to have you back on YT, thanks for the reaction, see you next one !
Thank you so much for the comment and support! I was sooo sad that my channel was taken down (Slam Dunk is staying on Vimeo/Patreon now), but happy to get things back up and in the groove!
Haha, all the "breathing" puns this episode! What was missing in the 20:30 part? Was a line cut from the anime?
And yessss, Ash and Eji are wonderful for each other. I'm so glad that we got these moments this episode to show them bonding more. And Ash's gang is just...the sweetest? Seriously, I love this rag tag little bunch! The "honeymoon" phase indeed, this episode!
And ahhh....I have a feeling we're right back in the fire this episode! Thanks for the comment!
@@RomaniaBlack To Ash begging him to stay by him not forever but a little longer, Manga's Eiji answers "forever". I remember my first watching, I was hysterical in front of my tv, like "say something Eiji ! Of fucking course you'll stay forever, so say it !". And then I read the manga, and found out that Eiji originally says what I yelled at my tv. And today, I still don't understand why this doesn't appear in the anime ... 🙄
@@miniglub Oh WOW! I didn't realize that! Yeah....that would have been a really nice thing to include in this! I mean, it's implied with Eiji at this point, but come on! What would it have hurt to have put it in the anime?! Hmmm...
💛
Thanks for the comment! :)
This made me cry:)
SO good, right?! This show is so emotional! Thank you for the comment!
Yeah!! Thank you so much for uploading the reaction video of the Episode 11 of Banana Fish🤗 I was looking forward to it!! By the Episode 10 of the last time, I passed through a big mountain for the time being😆 The shock and sorrow of Shorter's death will not go away, but let's keep an eye on them with a strong heart. You saw the original "Angel Eyes"? Yoshida-Sensei's Ash and other characters have a different charm from anime👐 Yoshida-Sensei's I like character design, and like Ash, the male characters that appear in other manga are also cool👍 As an aside, please refer to it♪ Now, let's return to the impression of Episode 11👊 I was relieved that Ash was able to safely return to Eiji's side. It is completely different from the tense scenes up to the last time, and I mainly draw "everyday scenes" that are rare in this work♪(=first half part) Alex and his fellow are frightened by Ash, who is in a bad mood when he wakes up😅 But!! Only Eiji succeeded in encouraging his awakening without being wary of Ash. Ash too didn't get angry with Eiji and was forgiving💕 I felt the only bond that was built between them♪ It was a wonderful scene where we ate Japanese food together, talked about family structure with Japan, and got a glimpse of Ash's love for Eiji. Eiji laughed when Ash talked about why he hated pumpkins since he was a kid. This scene warmed my heart. On the way, I was afraid of the appearance of the weapons merchant Fly for a moment, but I'm glad that it was safe. Both Ash and Eiji seemed to be ordinary teenage boys(=young people), and the appearance of joking and laughing was dazzling😊 But! Ash had a nightmare and exposed the fragile part for the first time in front of Eiji. The harsh fate of childhood and the fact that shot best friend and killed him... Ash's heart is really full of wounds😢 Ash is very delicate and vulnerable, but has a gentle and deep affection. That's why Ash's heart is tattered by the wounds he's been suffering. Eiji keeps snuggling up beside such Ash. "Even if the world becomes an enemy, I am your ally." The scene here is depicted as a "famous scene" in the manga, and it makes me sad no matter how many times I see it😢 The appearance of Ash clinging to Eiji's knees and crying and Eiji gently stroking Ash's back was very sacred and beautiful.
Here, I will provide you with a little information👍 In the original manga, there are many scenes and wonderful words that have been omitted in the anime. The scene where this Ash clings to Eiji and cries... Here too, very nice words are omitted💦 ※It is a wonderful word that fans of the original manga have requested, "I wanted you to put that word in!!" But it has been omitted...😢 You may notice it by reading the manga someday, but there are 19 volumes in total, and it is highly likely that you will forget them, so I will introduce them here. It's not a spoiler because it's a completely abbreviated word in anime! (And a word that will never appear in anime) Ash was telling Eiji, "Beside me... it doesn't have to be forever," right? In the anime, Eiji silently strokes Ash's back in response to that word.
However, in the manga, Eiji responds to Ash in his heart, "Forever!" Depending on whether or not this word is present, the degree of impression of this scene will differ. Since it's a monologue, Eiji's feelings haven't actually reached Ash, but it's still a very nice scene, so I wanted you to put it in!! I wanted Eiji to say it even in anime!! It was very disappointing😫💦 This is one of the scenes I would like you to check in the manga👍 There are many parts that can only be experienced in manga, such as really nice words and scenes, so please subscribe to manga someday and immerse yourself in this world view again. I'm sure you will be fascinated by each word💞
Derailed... I'm sorry🙇 In the second half part, Ash used his brain and talent to do something really great😲 I was surprised that an 18-year-old boy was beyond the scope of understanding to do it💦 It's too genius and it's too amazing!! I can't catch up with that thought circuit😅
And!! I bought an expensive condominium to protect Eiji. I think the reason why Ash lives and keeps fighting now is because "getting freedom=wanting to be near Eiji"...😢 Ash has lost even his best friend, only Eiji is left, and even though he knows it's dangerous to be with him, he can't let go of Eiji!! ➡ For Ash, Eiji is the only one and a peaceful paradise😌 Max is worried about the situation of this Ash... Obviously Eiji is becoming Ash's "weakness" and therefore Max described it as "Achilles' heel".
This is because Papa dino and Arthur, who are watching(=obsessed) Ash, are worried that they will not miss Eiji. Sure enough, Dino was angry at Ash's actions and ordered Arthur to catch him😱 I don't think Ash will easily yield, but the softening scene of the first half was blown away and the second half was covered with dark clouds...💦
The truth(=commentary) of the last incident in the subway is as follows.
👇
It was Ash's minions Alex and Bones who got on the train in a drunken state. And it was Arthur's adjutant Wookiee who was stabbed by them from behind near the door. As expected, Ash!! We have foreseen the actions of Arthur and have taken the initiative! It was the crime right after I took off my sunglasses to expose my face and "upset" Wookiee! Ash calmly got off the train... All the actions were smart and cool. Finally, Arthur started to move, and I was worried that the fight between the gangs would become even more fierce😰 Will Ash and Eiji's temporary calm daily life be destroyed and swallowed by a mighty whirlpool again...?? Stay tuned for the next episode♪ See you~👋
Thank you for the comment and all the information! I was wondering, based on some other people's comments as well, what was left out! And yesss, Shorter's death is still on my mind...and probably will remain, so! Hahaha! I've heard the "Forever" word being left out -- I took it that it was implied on Eiji's behalf, because let's be honest -- Eiji is completely devoted to Ash at this point, as is Ash to him! I definitely want to go back and read the Manga at some point, though!
And YES, Ash's schemiing both against Dino and Arthur was CRAZY at the end of this episode! Ash is really something else! Poor Max, though....he's definitely disheartened by Ash's actions and doesn't like where this is going...I'm kind of on board with Max, here. Ahh, this show is crazy! I can't wait to see what happens next! Thanks so much for all the info and taking the time to make this! That was great!!
@@RomaniaBlack
Thank you for your reply💞
And information. You're welcome👐
Yes! Shorter's "death" is really sad and unforgettable...
I understand your feelings😢
But! Shorter's lives on in Ash, Eiji, and in our hearts♪ Don't forget😌
And yes! I'm really impressed with Eiji's devoted love for Ash!
Really wonderful fraternity💕
And Eiji's humanity, the breadth of the heart and warmth that give Ash such affection... everything captures the hearts of those who see it. Beautiful affection💕
One day, please thoroughly enjoy the parts that had to be omitted in the animation, including this "forever...", In the manga! I highly recommend it👍
The strategy that Ash showed... it was really amazing😲
I think there will be many opportunities to see Ash's ability in the future, so please look forward to it♪
And I also sympathized with Max's anxiety💦
Max is an important character who will be our "Speaker"👍
Your expectations for "Banana Fish" will never stop!!
Please continue to enjoy the anime♪
※I'm really sorry for the long comments🙇💦
Unlike Japanese, I can't speak English, so I don't have a way to shorten sentences, so when I try to post what I want to convey, it becomes a long sentence😓
Perhaps my English is very poor and hard to read... sorry🙇
And! Don't worry!! It's perfectly fine to spend time commenting👍
Rather than that, thank you so much for your love of the information and comments I provide💞
See you again~👋
@@KA_7788 Yes, we can remember Shorter's character as we move on!! I'm REALLY interested in seeing where Ash and Max's character goes and I'm sooo ready for this season to pick up steam!
Also, no worry about apologizing! That makes a lot of sense! and I really appreciate all of your information! Getting a Japanese perspective from an anime/manga viewer/reader is really important and I'm happy to get your thoughts on these series! Thank you!
