Lmao that scene at school where Arata started speaking like Kujima. Once you warm up to the accent it is pretty fun. Also interesting that he mentions he wants to learn more about Russia to make Kujima feel more at home, which was the opposite of Kujima's goals earlier which was to learn more about Japan. Hopefully we can see more of this cultural exchange.
学校のシーンでアラタがクジマ訛りで話し始めた場面、笑ったな。あのアクセントに慣れると結構楽しい。さらに興味深いのは、彼がクジマを故郷に近づけるためにロシアについてもっと学びたいと言った点だ。これは以前、クジマが日本を学ぶことを目標としていたのと真逆の方向性で、制作陣が意図的に文化交換の対称性を描いていると考察できる。今後もこの相互理解の過程をもっと見たいものだ。考察くん

Now we heard Maxim speak and he obviously isn't voiced by a Japanese voice actor. My personal observation is that he is seemingly trying too hard to sound like a wise mature Russian man 😊 What Arata cooked instead of beets is technically a редька but every Russian would call this small red kind of radish редис [redis]. It would indeed make borshch taste bad 😊
マキシムの声聞いたけど、明らかに日本人声優じゃないよね。個人的には、賢くて成熟したロシア人男性っぽく見せようと必死な感じがする😊 アラタがビーツの代わりに使ったのは、正確には「レヂカ」なんだけど、ロシア人はあの小さな赤いラディッシュを「レジース」って呼ぶんだよね。確かにそれでボルシチ作ったら不味くなるわ😊普通くん

Kujima's accent is rubbing off on Arata. Arata should've printed out or written down the recipe for borscht and follow it step by step carefully. Good thing mom helped and made a correct one in the post-credits picture lol!
クジマの訛りが新にうつっとるやんwww
ボルシチのレシピは印刷かメモしとけや、ちゃんと手順通りに作れって話や
でもエンドカードでママがちゃんとしたやつ作ってて草生えたわｗ2ちゃん

Nice episode focusing on Arata and Kujima. For Kujima the longing for home is understandable, but in a way he has a 2nd home in Japan. The fascinating part of this episode is with Arata because you can tell Kujima filled some kind of loneliness he was dealing with. Especially shown when he was talking like him. I do like him bringing Russian culture at home for Kujima. It's the effort that matters.
まあ今回は新とクジマに焦点を当てた良い回だったな。クジマの故郷への想いは理解できるが、日本にも第二の故郷ができたんだろう。新についてはクジマが彼の孤独を埋めたように見えるのが興味深かった。特に彼の話し方を真似してたところな。自宅にロシア文化を取り入れたのは悪くなかった。大事なのはそういう努力だよな。ドライおじ

Post-credits scene - it’s great that they did manage to get beets for the borscht. Online shopping saves the day
ポストクレジットシーン、ビーツちゃんと手に入ったの良かったなw ネットショッピングが救世主になったわ笑wwwおじ

Arata didn’t want Kujima to leave. He made Borscht Curry instead. Missing the main ingredient: Beets

Can confirm borscht is delicious, I’ve been in the habit of making it recently and feel befuddled and upset when the beets aren’t in my local store. Have had to make it with golden beets, which is still good, but not the same. It’s only truly borscht if the kitchen and your hands resemble a murder scene from the beets staining everything. I had no idea they were hard to find in Japan. Radishes are definitely nowhere near the same! Very fun episode, including his slipping into Kujima voice at school.
ふむ…ボルシチの美味しさは我が舌が既に証明している。最近、定期的に厨房に立ち、その深紅の魔力を再現しておるのだが、近所の市場からビーツが消え去る度、世界の均衡が乱されたかの如き困惑と怒りを覚える。黄金のビーツで代用せし時も悪くはないが、それはもはや真のボルシチとは呼べぬ。あの紫紺の血潮が厨房と我が手を惨劇の現場に変えてこそ、真のボルシチは完成するのだ。まさか日本でビーツが手に入りにくいとは知らなかった…大根など、似て非なる異世界の産物よな。そしてクジマの声が学校で漏れ出るあの回、実に因果を感じる一撃であった。中二病

Beets are common here, but we usually buy instant borscht.

I've only made Hong Kong-style borscht at home but I've had the real one in a restaurant. Seconding you that it's very good.

Biggest surpirse of this ep was finding out that Kujima travelled by sea, I thought he flew here, Pretty sweet that Kujima missed Maksim but chose to stay for Arata, And Arata trying to cook for him was pretty sweet too. Gotta say im enjoying this anime much more than i thought, I love seeing this bird doing his silly antics
まさかクジマが海路で来てたとはな。空を飛んでると思ってたよ。マキシムを恋しがりつつもアラタのために残ったのは悪くなかった。アラタが料理しようとするシーンも普通に良かった。予想以上に楽しめてるな。あの鳥の間抜けな行動を見るのはなかなか面白い。ドライおじ

I’m glad Kujima stayed behind. Guy just got a little homesick is all. Bro really should have Googled how to make borscht instead of trying to feel out a recipe lol. But hey, they got curry I guess. So there’s that.
クジマが残ってくれてよかったよ。ちょっとホームシックになっただけだと思う。レシピを適当にやるんじゃなくてGoogleでボルシチの作り方調べればよかったのに笑。でもまあカレーはあるみたいだし、それはそれで良かったんじゃないかな。普通くん

I have a feeling he did search it up, he just didn't have the foresight/understanding to know that similar looking ingredients don't always make for a proper substitute (and also that the rest of his cooking abilities were pretty bad lol)
彼は確かに調べたんだろうけど、見た目が似てる食材が適切な代用品になるとは限らないという知識や先見の明が足りなかったんだろうな。加えて、彼の料理スキルそのものが壊滅的だったという点も考察できる（笑）考察くん

Since it tasted bad. Missing the Beets which I believe adds to the dishes flavor

Arata speaking like Kujima is so wholesome for some reason. Also I've always wondered how accurate the Russian actually is in this show. Can anyone verify?
ふむ、新がクジマのように話す姿、何故か心温まるものがあるでござるな。それにしても、このアニメのロシア語がどれほど正確か、某も常々気になっておった。識者のお方、ご検証願いたいものである。武士

Surprised to hear Kujima's voice coming out from Arata's mouth. That was a mighty fine impersonation from Arata's VA if he's the one who did it. Kujima's VA seems to be having fun as well with the warbling voice. This episode confirms that Kujima is a seal-penguin hybrid. Swimming from Russia to Japan in the cold northern seas is no joke. It would be crazy if he really went back in the height of winter. TIL that borscht is red not just from the tomatoes.
新の口からクジマの声が出てきて驚いたな。もし新の声優がやったんだとしたら、めっちゃ上手い真似だった。クジマの声優も震える声で楽しんでる感じがしたわ。今回の話でクジマはアザラシとペンギンのハイブリッドって確定したな。ロシアから日本まで北の冷たい海を泳いでくるのは半端ないし、真冬に帰ったらヤバそう。あとボルシチがトマトだけじゃなくて赤いって今日知ったわ。普通くん

This episode got me a little choked up. The homesickness and new friendship really got me. The show has really stuck a chord with me and I impulse bought all the manga. Really want a Kujima plushie but only saw one online for $100 and it didn’t look very good quality.
ふむ…この一話、我が魂の琴線を深く震わせたのだ。故郷への想いと新たな絆の光が、運命の如く胸に突き刺さる。あまりの衝動に全巻マンガを買い占めてしまったぞ。クジマのぬいぐるみは市場にて百ドルで売られていたが、その出来栄えは我が理想とは程遠く、断念せざるを得なかった…。中二病

I wonder if it's true that you can't commonly find beets in Japan or if they live in a really rural area or it's seasonal. Maybe it just didn't occur to Arata to get canned ones. That is funny Arata just tried to substitute something outwardly similar but he had good instinct to add instant curry mix; that can probably fix it a lot if you didn't have too much salt in it in the first place. I think he was too ambitious though, like it's very tough to make a dish you've never personally tasted before that is incredibly dissimilar from anything else you've ever eaten.
日本でビートが一般的じゃないって話、本当なのか気になるな。田舎だからか、季節ものなのかもね。荒田が缶詰を思いつかなかっただけかもしれないけど。見た目が似てるもので代用しようとしたのは笑えるけど、インスタントカレー粉を入れたのはいい判断だったと思う。最初から塩を入れすぎてなければ、だいぶマシになるはず。でもやっぱり彼は野心過ぎたかも。食べたことない料理を、今まで食べたものと全く違う味で作るのはめちゃくちゃ難しいよね。普通くん

I am Japanese and I can tell you beets are not a common food in Japan and you would rarely find them in local supermarkets. I actually never saw (or even knew) it myself until I traveld to Australia. That's why Arata's mom also had to order it online.
ワイ日本人やけど、ビーツって日本じゃ全然メジャーな食材ちゃうで。スーパーでもまず見かけへん。ワイ自身もオーストラリア行くまで見たことすらなかったわ。だから新の母さんもネットで注文してたんやな。草2ちゃん

When all else fails, you make it into curry! It was interesting to already bring up the idea of Kujima leaving and how much it would have affected Arata. Like everyone seemed to understand how much happier Arata currently is but kinda weird for them to overlook that he's sad in the first place.
もうダメだって時はカレーにしちゃうよね！クジマが去る話を早々に出して、それがアラタにどれだけ影響するかってのを描いたのは面白かったな。みんな今のアラタがどれだけ幸せか分かってるのに、そもそも彼が悲しんでたことを見落としてるのはちょっと変だと思う。普通くん

Aww I loved this ep. As someone who has been torn between two countries on a similar schedule as Kujima seems to be going, this one really got to me. Well the show has made me emotional a few times already lol but this one in particular made me weepy. Can't bear seeing bird tears! Poor Kujima 😭 It's so difficult to enjoy the time in one place when you miss the people in the other, while also knowing if you go to the other place you'll miss the people in the first one. I hope they'll be able to video call Maksim. Our little bird friend being totally disconnected from whoever he leaves is so sad
このエピソードは深く考察させられる内容だったな。クジマが二つの国を行き来するような状況に、私自身も似た経験がある者として非常に共感した。作品全体で何度か感情を揺さぶられてきたが、特に今回は涙腺が緩んだ。鳥の涙は本当に心に来るものがある。片方の場所を楽しんでいると、もう片方の大切な人々が恋しくなり、逆もまた然りというジレンマ。この構造は人間関係の本質を描いていると言える。マクシムとビデオ通話ができることを願うばかりだ。離れた相手と完全に断絶してしまうクジマの状況は、現代のコミュニケーション問題を象徴しているように思える。考察くん

As moving as the first half was, that cooking scene was frustrating to say the least. First, how did Arata go from "I'll use a recipe" to "I'll just picture some crap in my head and buy ingredients based on what I can think of"? Secondly, how, after having realized he was missing the main ingredient , could he think that he could just substitute some random vegetable that was the same shape???? That's like r/ ididn'thaveeggs incarnate! Finally, how did he not consider just making Pelmeni? He could've found all the ingredients he needed without having to murder a dish.
前半の感動シーンはよかったけど、あの料理シーンは正直イライラしたな。まず、どうしてアラタが「レシピ使う」から「頭の中で適当にイメージして材料買う」になったんだよ。しかも、主要な材料がないことに気づいた後で、同じ形の適当な野菜で代用できると思ったって？それって完全に r/ididn'thaveeggs の世界じゃん！最後に、なぜペリメニを作ることを考えなかったんだ？料理を台無しにしなくても必要な材料は全部見つけられたはずだろ。普通くん
