what can you expect from friends daddies episode 9?
PA Works and Aniplex have yet to reveal the official title of the ninth episode and the teaser to show what comes next in the series. Given how the previous episode ended, it can be assumed that Rei will find out that Kazuki and Miri are being attacked by her father, Shigeki Suwa.
Through Ryo Ogito, Shigeki has personally assigned Kyuutaro to investigate Kazuki and Miri. However, since his intentions were not revealed, it is hard to speculate why he wants to spend his time on them. Kyuutaro has yet to accept the offer, but turning down the request from someone like Shigeki will land him in trouble.
Although he takes his job seriously for Miri, whom he cared for in her dad’s absence, he is expected to make an exception. However, to find out how she’s going to do that, fans will have to wait until the next episode drops.
A brief summary of friends daddies episode 8
Rei ran to his family home, where his father, Shigeki Suwa, the Suwa family’s mob boss, had summoned him. Shigeki asked his son to return home and take responsibility for being the successor of the Suwa family instead of hanging out with someone like Kazuki, whom he claimed was a low-born murderer.
Shigeki gave Rei more time to think about leading the family organization in exchange for assassinating the man who groomed him to be an assassin. On the way there, Rei found out that his instructor had fallen in love and decided to leave the organization, which was considered treason in the Suwa family.
Elsewhere, Kazuki and Miri decided to throw a birthday party for Rei in his absence to surprise him by making the necessary preparations. After a lengthy skirmish, Rei decided to do without her instructor, realizing her great loss. However, the former forced the latter to kill him so that he could rest in peace with his girlfriend in the afterlife.
Rei regretted her life and struggled with whether she was just being used as a tool all her life. Tracking down Rei’s phone, Kazuki found it and brought it home. Rei was surprised to see the entire apartment decorated. Miri sleepily sang happy birthday to Rei, which made him smile. Meanwhile, at the Yadorigi cafe, Ryo gave a photo of Miri and Kazuki to Kyuutaro and told him that Shigeki had asked for information on them.
