A Terrified Teacher At Ghoul School Episode 9 Review - Villainous Doofuses

What’s this? Is this the first instance of an actual villain squad in this story? A rule of advice: whether a character is human, a youkai, protagonist or antagonist, everyone in this story have a lot of doofus energy inside of them. That’s how Mai Tanaka creates them. Don’t take these crows seriously because you’re not supposed to.

This entire episode is actually only two chapters in the manga. Isn’t that crazy? This is a mini-arc showcasing how there are villainous youkai even amongst the good ones on Hyakki Island. In the manga, this mini-arc actually takes place right after the Momoyama chapter where she got sprayed with the perfume and caused a majority of the male youkais to fall for her. The anime actually does a good job changing only the beginning aspect of this plot with Hatanaka sighing about the class he has to teach and then being taken by the villains. In the manga, Hatanaka laments over the fact that the perfume caused him to fall for someone who wasn’t his wife and then the villain calls out his name and that was how he was taken. Other than that, everything else about this plot is the same as it was in the manga with the animal youkai being kidnapped and Hatanaka, Tamao and Mame being one of the many abducted.

The story mainly focused on Haruaki, Sano and Miki trying to find and rescue their abducted students and colleague. I did like that each of them did get their fair share of screen time. The secretary, Tenmaru, plays illusions on them that preys on their biggest weaknesses. For Miki, he’s afraid of women due to having five older sisters. In the beginning of the episode, Haruaki learns that Miki has never been in a relationship despite looking like a playboy. Hm…being afraid of women and never been in a relationship before? I always had this inkling of a feeling that Miki could be gay, but his sexuality is never confirmed. For Sano, his biggest weakness happens to be Haruaki, which was hilarious because the multiplying amounts of Haruakis caused him to pass out. I’m assuming he’s afraid of Haruaki but also finds him the biggest annoyance in his life. For Haruaki, he’s afraid of middle school delinquents. I mean, it was to be expected as the first episode established that he quit his first teaching job the moment a delinquent student snapped at him in just thirty minutes.

Now, let’s talk about the villains, the Karasu Tengu Troupe! They’re a quirky bunch that sort of reminds me of the Team Rocket trio from Pokemon. The captain, Ranmaru, is the biggest stand out with his loud ham tendencies and being the biggest doofus of the three. There’s a lot of mystery surrounding him, however, like with his connection to the Principal and the actual Abe no Seimei from long ago. This means that this guy is old as heck. However, he actually doesn’t do all that much in this episode aside from being all touchy-feely with Haruaki as he mistook him for Seimei. Though, he did contribute to the lore buildup.

To be honest, Bonmaru, the one with the long brown hair, was actually the biggest threat with how he could summon a plethora of human-faced rocks and being the biggest hurdle in the rescue attempt. He knocked out Miki and was about to win against Sano had not he used his magic. Though, he did knock out Haruaki, the Principal, and his comrades due to Sano, so he got the biggest hit count in this episode.

Tenmaru, the secretary, was the second biggest threat with his illusion magic, but falls short of being threatening due to him being with Ranmaru when he was trying to persuade Haruaki to join him. Though, Tenmaru might be seen more often as it’s revealed that he’s also a student of Hyakki Academy, hence why he knew who Haruaki was. The part with him stealing Haruaki’s wallet at the end was hilarious because it was a useless effort as he only had 80 yen inside (which is like 0.53 cents in USD).

Other details about this episode I liked was the characters interacting with the three Mandoragas, the Principal kicking Haruaki away and the wholesome moments with Mame and Sano. I also liked the part where Tamao told Hatanaka and Mame about his dream to be Nyuudou’s pet cat when he gets married. That’s some weird aspirations you got there.

Did you know that Ranmaru’s voice actor wasn’t revealed before airing, but it was revealed yesterday? His voice actor is Showtaro Morikubo, a big-name voice actor. If you’re not familiar with him, he voiced Shikamaru Nara from Naruto/Boruto, Yosuke Hanamura from Persona 4 and Yusuke Makishima from Yowamushi Pedal. I did find it weird that Bonmaru and Tenmaru’s voice actors weren’t revealed alongside his, but I guess it makes sense given that Ranmaru is the most important, but it’s also that Bon and Ten’s voice actors aren’t super well-known. Bonmaru’s voice actor is Wataru Kato, who voiced the MC of 100 Girlfriends. Tenmaru’s voice actor is Noriaki Kanze, who also voices the Human-Faced Fish that appears occasionally since Episode 2. To be honest, of the voices, Tenmaru sort of throws me off because he sounds a lot older than how I imagined it would sound like. It’s not a bad voice, but I’ll definitely have to get used to it.

I applaud the author’s capability of writing a serious plot like animal youkai abductions and still add in comedy into it. I admire those kind of writing skills. If you have watched this episode, what are your thoughts on it?

Not my own character but tenmaru and bonmaru karasuma from yohaji

[incorrect-terrified-teacher]

Ranmaru: How do you feel about children?

Tenmaru: They’re fine, I guess. If I see one, I wouldn’t throw a rock at it.

Ranmaru:

Ranmaru: Why would you throw a rock at a child?

Tenmaru: I just said I wouldn’t, Ranmaru.

A Terrified Teacher At Ghoul School Episode 13 Review - Summer Reading

I find it funny how it’s super cold where I live yet Haruaki and co are enjoying the time of their lives basking in the summer heat. Because of that, it made me feel warm and not focus on how cold it was outside, so thanks for that, Yohaji! Anyways, the second half of the show starts and I’m surprised with how many things they spoiled in the opening and ending as a manga reader. I won’t get into too much detail as it’ll probably shown throughout the season.

While the episode as a whole was a fun watch, I won’t deny that the anime did remove some details that anime-only watchers might not realize. Not only that, but there’s also how this episode is formatted. The first fourth of the episode is mainly seeing what some of Class 2-3 are doing during their summer break while the rest of the episode is mainly Haruaki causing chaos in a secondhand book shop where Sano and Tenmaru from the Tengu Troupe works.

Sano spends his holiday with the Abe family. Here’s one instance of the anime omitting minor details. If you think this is a little weird how the principal just gave him Haruaki’s address and a map and told him to go to the Abe house, they actually removed some important detail from the manga in that Sano used to spend his holidays at the principal’s house due to circumstances and that it’s the first time the principal is not looking after him. This may be a minor detail, but it’s important information about Sano, who’s one of the main characters in this story.

Anyways, it’s nice to see the Tengu Troupe again; though, it’s mainly just Tenmaru and Bonmaru. It’s nice to learn a lot about Ten like how he’s a closet otaku who’s into fictional girls and how his cool facade breaks when he sees an anime girl figurine. Sano didn’t know Ten was one of the kidnappers as he only saw and confronted Bon at the time as Ten was in a different area. Too bad we don’t really know much about Bon as he just popped up in the middle of the episode as they needed an extra person. Two additional details the anime omitted from this portion of this episode were the fact that Ten and Bon are brothers in their forged family documents, so the Karasuma Troupe are all adopted brothers. Another omitted detail was Ten revealing that he has been a virgin for 800 years as he became immortal so he wouldn’t die young.

The whole cursed book thing was chaotic with Haruaki accidentally making Sano and Ten a part of the story and getting them into wild situations likes Ten dying and having Sano and Ten almost doing the do. Haruaki shows off his intelligence by reversing the effects of Ten’s death and having the situations in the story happen to characters outside of the bookshop. Some of my favorite scenes were Rintaro preventing truck-kun from isekai-ing someone and Akira enjoying his alien abduction situation. The reason why Haruaki read the cursed book in the first place was because a weird man with blue hair and wearing a monocle recommended it to him—he turned out to be the ghost of the late author.

Also, the anime did jump ahead a few chapters after the Haruaki search arc which was the previous episode. There was a chapter that took place after Haruaki was rescued from the fire where he was hospitalized, but it’s only mentioned in this episode. The scene with Mama-aki and Haruaki was actually from that chapter, but they added it here. Though, it’s nice to see Mama-aki gently scolding her son. She’s super sweet.

The anime also had some anime original scenes as they did cut out a few scenes from the chapters about the cursed book. The scene with Hatanaka and his three kids are anime original—the kids actually appear much earlier in the story, but the anime pushed them to making their debut in the second cour. The entire scene with the locusts is anime original too, I believe.

Also, speaking of the Hatanaka kids, I can’t believe they gave two of them high quality voice actors. His daughter Saki is voiced by the one and only Megumi Han whom you might know as Nokotan and Kana Arima from Oshi no Ko. The son, Kamae, is voiced by Mutsumi Tamura, who you might know as young Kakashi from Naruto Shippuden and Hiro from Digimon Ghost Game. These kids only appeared for a few seconds and you’re already giving them S-tier voice actresses? The Yohaji production staff are crazy.

I guess my only gripe would be that the animation quality looked a little derpy in some parts of the episode, but that’s it. I think this is a great way to start the second half of the show and I can’t wait to see what they will show next. What are your thoughts on this episode?
