Links for viewing: login-reqested and age-restricted, subbed in English on YouTube; age-restricted, subbed and dubbed in English on Hulu; fansubbed without restrictions on YouTube, with a few translation notes.

There are a couple anachronisms noted in this episode (Beetle wrestling, glass mirrors, decorated nail polish, and Fuu's calculating device, soroban) and way more detailed episode information from a fansubber, if you want to really understand all the details seen and heard.

SO MANY BROTHELS! Seriously, it feels like there's some poor woman being taken into a brothel to pay off gambling debts or loans to Bad People every other episode. It's not quite that often, and maybe this is more prevalent because the trio are operating on the fringes of society and often try to make quick cash, which is also the domain of gangs, but it still feels rather uncomfortable.
