    NOTE: Erm....weird edits...it's ok for the adults to say Soujirou's been beaten or slugged but it's not ok for him to mention it? Of course he did mention getting hit...so...Anyway nothing terrible really...even if the beating scenes were a bit disjointed.

    NOTE: Stranger and stranger edits this week. Some of them were really noticable even though I didn't watch the unedited episode first this week as is normally done.
