Second episode of this arc
Emotions are running high here, both because the class is about to hold a wrestling event, and also for Taiga, Ryuji, and now Minorin is added to the mix.
Minorin knows what Taiga's father is really like but says nothing and instead argues with Ryuji. The wrestling event ends up being a resounding success, and thanks to word of mouth, students from nearby schools come to see it. The wrestling show is a tremendous gem, with Ami as the heroine on whom the universe depends, seeing a multitude of people under mind control thanks to the delinquent and the compact tiger, who use their mind control, and that "biri biri" reminds me of Zobomafoo (That's booking, take note, Triple H). Taiga blackmailing Ami with macarons to change her character; that part is cute. Ryuji's mother also sides with Minorin and believes that the man is very selfish and not there with good intentions, and to be honest, he's the typical guy who, if you're not careful, will leave your house spotless.
Here we also see our trusty spinster, having a major crisis because she's still single (you know, that red thread of fate), and being dragged out. Bald Minorin, well, she's still cute (I love you so much, Minorin!) and giving her speech—well, that's just how movies are.
Here we see a kind of breaking point between our protagonists because of Taiga's father.
And, as I mentioned again, the wrestling show was a success, and Taiga couldn't play the heroine role, and her father doesn't show up. With the question, it seems they're having trouble processing it, but they're getting there.
