The Villainous Shinya Momoiwa Panics So Much He Collapses! Viewers Feel "So Satisfied!" with the Protagonist's Exhilarating Revenge in "Tougen Anki" Episode 20

In episode 20 of the anime "Tougen Anki," which has been airing sequentially since November 28th, the enemy Shinya Momoiwa (CV: Chiharu Sawashiro) fell into a trap set by the protagonists. The development in which the protagonists struck back against Shinya, who had committed countless heinous acts up until now, excited viewers with comments such as "I felt so satisfied!! Amazing!!" and "This is the first time I've actually seen him flustered."

Shinya, the captain of the Momotaro Agency's 21st Unit, is a cold-hearted individual who will use anyone, enemy or ally, to achieve his goals. He has committed numerous heinous acts, including manipulating Mikado Momodera (CV: Shunichi Toki), the vice-captain of the 21st Unit, to fall out with his friend Shiki Ichinose (CV: Kazuki Ura) in the worst possible way.

In episode 20, "Rage VS Rage," Shinya used his ability to manipulate vision to peer into Jin Kōgasaki's (CV: Kōtarō Nishiyama) field of view and discovered the oni's hideout. He stormed the hideout with his comrades, intending to eliminate the large number of oni. However, there was no one at the hideout, and when a panicked Shinya looked through Kōgasaki's vision again, he saw his own back. Then, Kōgasaki and the oni including Shiki appeared from behind. In reality, what Shinya had been peering into was the vision of Kōgasaki wearing a VR headset, and he had been shown pre-recorded false scenery. Kōgasaki provoked Shinya, who had collapsed in shock, saying, "You looked pretty happy when you abducted me, didn't you? How about now? This is a surprise from me. Go ahead and laugh."

The sight of the enemy Shinya, who had been doing whatever he pleased until now, becoming flustered became a hot topic online with comments such as "This is the first time I've actually seen him flustered," "I felt so satisfied!! Amazing!!" and "He probably never thought he'd be the one getting fooled."
