The Mafia's daughter who get kidnapped twice in one episode :); Tokyo episode episode 3 Impression

The first thing you saw from the third episode of Tokyo Esp was the Phantom thief escaped from the hospital after punching the good for nothing cops. With revenge on her mind, she intended to beat Rinka to a pulp when some mysterious mafia in suit asked her to lend them her power. The scene then switched to Rinka house with her having breakfast with her father. One thing to note was how her father could control his magic power now so Rinka could get to the school without tying his father now ;). The scene then turn to Rinka's schoolroom where Azuma asked her to have a lunch. It turned out that Azuma wanted Rinka to help him playing hero but the later instantly rejected the invitation.

People will treat you like that because of your eyes ;)

On the other side, the third episode introduced Murasaki, the girl who wore glasses from the first episode, to the character roster. She was the person who actually fed the mysterious flying penguin in odaiba. At that moment, there were three men who intended to capture Peggy, the pinguin, and because of Murasaki's interruption, it managed to fly away only for the men captured it later using a net. After the three men kidnapped both Murasaki and Peggy in their car, Azuma with the help of Rinka saved Murasaki and the penguin from the kidnapper. Rinka went through the car and her sudden intrusion made the car fall from the upper part of highway. Fortunately, Azuma managed to transport the car to the sea just when the car was about to hit three old granny who just happen to stand below the highway. After Rinka helped Azuma escaped from the sea, Azuma commented that Rinka was his hero and once again, we were given a mystery about what was Rinka done in the past

There you go getting all gloomy again

Murasaki took Rinka and Azuma to her place and the moment they entered her place, bunch of mafias welcomed Murasaki. I laughed when knowing that she might be the younger version of Yankumi from Gokusen. Ehem, back to the main topic, the mafia in the beginning of the episode along with the Phantom thief came to Murasaki place and they wanted to negotiate with her Grandfather. Once again, Rinka met with the Phantom thief and their battle continues. This time around, the phantom thief wound Rinka completely using her boxing skills and Rinka's ability to went through matter ended up worthless against another human being. Meanwhile, The Negotiation turned into a shooting carnage because the other mafia intended to take all of Murasaki's grandfather territory and the mafia leader later on revealed that he also possessed unique magic to repel bullets. Just as the mafias fight, one of the mafia leader henchmen teleported Murasaki and Azuma out from the house which lead to the kidnapping of Murasaki.

You will become a good teacher one day Murasaki.

The episode explained to us how Murasaki achieved her magical power with one of the flying fish entered her body while she was being held captive. In addition, the episode told us about the reason why Azuma become a person who obsessed in helping other in need. The small flashback told us that the place where he grown up was full with war and violence and one of his best buddies died as a war victim. He swore himself that he would not let another innocent experience the feeling of loosing life. The episode was closed with Rinka and Azuma prepared themselves to entered the Mafia's headquarter in order to rescue Murasaki. My impression for this episode was a bit mixed. I knew it doesn't make me impressed like the first episode yet as it manages to give us some detail for the first episode character (Murasaki) as well as explaining Rinka's motivation to help people (through her interaction to Azuma).
