Episode four gives us Sanda's first actual fight, he's defininitely more in control of his power but he's still too afraid to hurt anyone. The animation is good, and the pacing is fast during action scenes but reserved when needed.

That was one interesting episode. The headmaster was creepy as usual. Liked how Sanda came to his own conclusions with his whole monologue. Absolute tank of a man, some stuff was a bit unnecessary, God-pa!

The first part of episode four was so amusing, everything that happened at Ono's funeral was so funny. The scene near the end felt really heartwarming, especially the way Shiori seemed to see Santa Claus as someone dependable.

Episode Context

Sitting at the one-third mark of a 12-episode run, Episode 4 builds directly on Episode 3's introduction of Santa's lie-detecting powers and his resulting internal fractures, pushing those conflicts into physical and psychological confrontation. The funeral setting and the clash with Yagiuda represent a tonal turning point where the series transitions from setup to escalation. This episode lays critical groundwork for the mid-season stretch, introducing Special Investigation Unit dynamics and deepening the identity crisis that will likely define Santa's trajectory going forward.
