Interesting, it was a thrilling episode that includes a car accident as well. Damn, that is one long fall...

As medical students, I like how they decide to operate on the victim right on the spot.
It shows their skills and while it's risky, it also gives shows their experience and using what they've learned.

Didn't really find Maiko's anxiety to be surprising given where they are.
The PTSD reaction from the patient was a bit chilling imo. Hyakki's true personality is starting to show a bit..

Damn Hyakki went batshit crazy. He was seriously doing some horror movie shit in this episode.

I like how Hazama continues to show how little he cares about morality and consequences when he made the decision to operate on the dude right at that moment, despite not having a license and still being a student.
People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime.

Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait.

MAL is literally just anime Twitter as its own website lol.

That actually felt more intense than the manga, I was feeling a bit squeamish, especially at Sabame's leg getting cut off, and all the blood with Tatara's emergency surgery. What a nightmare. YBJ has turned into horror.

Even though what the other doctors did to Hyakki was disgusting, I mean they wanted him to die, but Hyakki is definitely going to the point of no return. I doubt he was planning it from the start, as the accident with Sabame was really an accident. But after seeing the detached arm, I think Hyakki decided to take that "opportunity" that was before him, and went with the idea of cutting off the other people's limbs. I don't think he's thought of the repercussions for doing this either, but maybe he doesn't care.

Damn... it's hard for me to feel sorry for those doctors. They kinda deserved it.


However, what Hyakki did was definitely wrong.
There's no way he can return to his old surgeon life back and be with his fiancee after this, which is really sad.

Damn that was crazy. Never expected a massacre all in the name of body parts.
Wait.... so if Hyakki successfully performs an operation to reattach those limbs to himself, if he ever gets with his fiancée, would that be considered a... 6p? :P

And suddenly all the blood and gore we didn't see in the war episodes are in this one. Very nice, I like it.

This episode was so intense, it was even better than last week's, and definitely the best one so far, I'm already anxious for the next week's. Hyakkimaru has gone insane, but honestly, can we blame him? Of course his actions aren't ones to be praised, but those guys deserved what they got, I can't bring myself to feel bad for them. I actually feel bad for Hyakki, he's really gone to a point of no return.

I thought he was going to use that limbs, but it seems like he took them just for revenge, gosh that would be cool if he would be able to use his hands again. But I guess it would be a little bit sci-fi.

Still a really good episode. 5/5

So the first death was just an accident...but then the second was intentional attempted murder, and finally full blown murder with Fish-eyes. And goddamn that was pretty gruesome.

Pretty funny to see Spider-head in the hospital with normal hair. That explains the bizarre spider-hair, likely gel. I wonder if Yu-gi-oh uses the same brand?

Why only take one leg instead of both? At any rate, I thought he was going to use them, but then the more I thought about it, it seems highly unlikely as transplanting limbs wasn't even possible/successful until the 90's, and even then they would have had to be compatible with blood types and whatnot; both of which was impossible for the time period this is set in. So it seems to be simply a modus operandi in his crimes for his revenge.

Looks like everything will end in the next episode with the final showdown...or at least I hope so, because there are only two freaking episodes left! I wish it was a full 24-episode season; that would have been more than satisfying.

I almost forgot I was watching YBJ, for a moment I thought I was watching a slasher/horror film.

Damn those doctors all have funky hair styles from Hyakki to Takara but Takara's hair looked normal while he was lying in the hospital bed, imagine all the hair gel it took to keep up with that hairstyle.

Speaking of other characters popping up in Osamu Tezuka's works, Hige Oyaji "Ban Shunsaku, the detective in Metropolis showed up in today's episode. :D

Whelp the gore was defiantly saved for this episode. Hyakki might have lost it just bit and by a bit I'm mean a ton. Wonder what will happen next episode.

Lol the hair gel comment X)

Yeah the next episode is definitely the last in the arc, since there's still two other characters in the ED we haven't seen. I agree too, it would've been great it was a 24 episode season. There's more than enough material left for another cour. If anything to go by though, the Amazon preorders for YBJ is pretty bad...

Damn that cliffhanger. Can't it be Saturday already.

It wasn't my favorite episode, but it was okay. Felt more like a slasher flick than a medicine show at this point, but can't say no to a lover letter to Tezuka.

Here's Hyakki!



Awesome episode :D Shame they've led to him becoming a murderer though : / It also seems like Hazama is getting a bit too comfortable in operating without a license. Even though it's been justifiable, he's one step away from going down the wrong path.

This arc is the best. Hyakki became crazy and he killed all the bad doctors. They planned his accident, I can't feel pain for them.

When Mamoru Miyano is voicing a character... I'm always expecting it to end up something like this. x)

But yeah, really good episode and can't wait for the next one. I want to know so bad what will happen with Hazama and Hyakki.

If Hazama would let Dr.Takara die everything would be fine xD
Hyakki did great, after all they did to him...they deserved that.

I liked this show when it ventured in the theme of war and seemed real. This right now about an ex doctor who lost his limbs and has prostheses in place going around killing people just seems so far fetched. I don't think the show should've jumped around like that. First some episodic themes, then Vietnam, then the story about the black man and then suddenly this Hyakki storyline.

The show lacks consistency.

Maiko asserting her position over Hazama as an intern and failing to do better than him ended up making my eyes roll once again. I know that she has the guy's best interests in mind since what he's doing is illegal but damn.

The similarities to the original Dororo anime has reached its peak and as over-the-top things have become, I am very intrigued. I can't wait to see what happens next!
