Summary:
After being saved last episode by “Sailor Moneybanks with a mask,” Hayate is taken into the Sanzenin household to serve as Nagi’s butler. Determined to pay off his debt to Nagi, Hayate earnestly wants to work hard even if Maria’s calculations say that he needs to work for 40 years. The next day, Hayate goes to Nagi’s room to wake her up for breakfast when he sees a giant tiger sleeping next to Nagi. Thinking the tiger is dangerous, Hayate wants to try to save Nagi, but the tiger is just her pet “cat” named Tama. For some reason, Klaus, the head butler, appears from under Nagi’s bed and tells Hayate that Tama is a cat. Although Tama only likes Maria and Nagi, it seems that he also seems fond of Hayate and Nagi tells them to play outside. Tama then tackles Hayate out the second story window and they begin to fight. Klaus strongly believes that Hayate is way too under qualified to be Nagi’s butler but Nagi disagrees and thinks that Hayate will be a very good butler. To determine whether Hayate can stay or not, the argument is settled over a bet: if Hayate beats Tama, he can stay. If not, Hayate needs to leave. Hayate’s fight continues until the combatants are interrupted by Maria, who finds her flower garden in ruins after Hayate and Tama’s fight. Maria, however, is very understanding (and moe) and blames Klaus and Nagi for the destruction. After everyone leaves, Tama gets up, walks away on his hind legs, and tells Hayate to STFU NOOB….yeah. Tama can talk. So, the argument about hiring Hayate continues back inside the mansion and Klaus calls Hayate poor, unlucky, and pathetic..which injures him greatly:

?! Lance of Longinus?! But wait, there’s more!

So many lances, I can go cosplay as an eva! or maybe lancer? GAE BOLG!!

The argument continues and even though he looks poor, Hayate is really strong. Nagi even says that Hayate has two more transformations and after every transformation, his power level raises drastically.

Heh heh heh…as expected of Hayate, its already over 9000

To test Hayate, Klaus challenges him in a butler contest against a robot made to care for people. However, Nagi pisses it off.

“This robot looks like a penis…a small penis.”

“QQ!”

So, after pissing it off, the robot goes crazy by launching mass missles and whatever else robots do. However, Hayate uses his awesome skill and pins the robot to the floor using forks and knives. He also wets the floor to add extra damage for when he uses…

“CHIDORI”

Thoughts:
Did the manga have all these dragon ball z references too? Frieza? lol…So, anyway, This episode introduced us to some new characters: Tama and that lame butler guy. Nagi still has ridiculous absolute territory. Hayate still has blue hair. Maria is still moe. That little curl of hair…kyawaii!! So, did anyone else find that robot to be a phallic symbol? And how did silverwear pierce the robot’s metal? Oh well, Hayate just must be strong or something. Overall, it was a pretty funny episode, I think. But I still have to say that the Black Lagoon reference in ep2 was the funniest thing yet. I am also looking forward to next episode, where it seems like many new girls will be introduced.
Harem!
