Episode 2 recap and what to expect from Episode 3
In episode 2, Taiyo Asano recalls the events of the previous day and his engagement with Mutsumi. Kyoichiro surprises Taiyo with the infamous Yozakura wake-up call, and Mutsumi prepares Taiyo's lunch bag and uniform. On her cue, the ace spy grabs Taiyo with spider strings and jumps out of the window, carrying his sister.
Taiyo's house blows up. Kyoichiro reveals Mutsumi Yozakura is the tenth head of the Yozakura family and recounts their family history, explaining that every generation has someone born without superhuman abilities.
Although they don't have powers, their offspring are endowed with incredible skills. Mutsumi is one such person. Kyoichiro states that his sister, Mutsumi Yozakura, is the lifeline of his family and can ensure the continuity of the Yozakura talent.
He also tells Taiyo that Mutsumi will lead the family one day. As such, she must live an everyday life and acquire information about the outside world. Yet, that exposure makes her vulnerable to those who want the Yozakura family's fall.
Suddenly, the episode shows a few vehicles chasing them. However, Kyoichiro, with his expert skills, obliterates them. Following that, he assigns Taiyo to protect his sister from the bomber assassin for a day until he gets back from his duty.
At school, Taiyo vigilantly looks out for Mutsumi Yozakura. However, he passes out when his classmates approach him for small talk. The next moment, he wakes up at Kyoichiro's office in the school, with Mutsumi beside him. Taiyo notices a bomb planted on the ceiling.
He quickly shields his friend and realizes that a bomb has been planted on his jacket as well. Seeing no other option left, Taiyo jumps out of the window to save Mutsumi. At that moment, Kyoichiro arrives and grabs Taiyo with his spider strings. He tells the protagonist that although he hates him, he won't let a family member die.
After safely pulling Taiyo up, Kyoichiro notices Kengo and Nanao arriving at the office and capturing the bomber, Tamaya. Although he begs for mercy, Kyoichiro hurls the bomb at him.
Since the latest episode covered chapter 2 from Hitsuji Gondaira's original manga series and included anime-original content, Mission: Yozakura Family episode 3 will likely adapt the following one or two chapters. The episode may also contain anime-original scenes.
Fans can expect episode 3 to show Taiyo Asano beginning his training at the Yozakura household. He will go to certain lengths to protect Mutsumi. Undoubtedly, the next episode will not only showcase Taiyo's determination but also highlight the Yozakura siblings' harsh training methods.
