I just wanted to finish the story but I should have stopped after the first season.

I mean this is shounen after all but why even do a setup like this? If we go with something more realistic the world is now lost. There is no way to defeat Hakumen anymore. But the power of shounen will find a way. Someone will get incredible powers just like that and defeat Hakumen.

Man... And then it is even the one fucking anime I want to spoiler (I guess we are all curious how many people died and if Ushio's mother survives) to myself and thought I had good chances considering this is old as fuck compared to other currently airing anime but, who would have thought otherwise, I can't find any sites with information. I could look for the source but I really don't want to read the entire final chapters just for that.

Well. At least the soundtrack when Ushio was tossed into the ocean was amazing. This anime really has some awesome soundtracks.

edit: I almost forgot. At this point Ushio annoys me so much. It's unbearable. I understand the situation is difficult and everything but this was just plain stupid behavior of him. I agree with him getting his mother away from there first but then go back to fighting. wtf... Instead he gets slapped by his mother and then totally loses it. Get real. Your idea was fucking stupid and that's why you were slapped.

Remember, never use violence against your kids. Well, Ushio got finally at least slightly interesting to watch.

The "don't fight hate with hate"-trope is awful as always but other than that, this one continues the series of great episodes in this season.

I adore Hakumen's detailed expressions, good use of budget.

Megumi Hayashibara does such an excellent job, her voice as Hakumen is truly outstanding. It's a voice i wish i could hear singing lullabies for me at night.

Ushio sure turned into a mentally unstable hateful brat really f*cking quickly :(
Hakumen no mono doing his creepy annoying voice as usual, that must be the real cause.

I wonder how Ushio will fight without the spear. I need to watch the next episode !
Everyone will use Nakama power and the spear will magically get fixed and stabs into Hakumen and it dies. LOL

kid's got a rough life, yo _xD

omg, i'm laughing so hard right now "My own mom hit me!" <--seriously man, after everything you've been through, this is what's the final drop _xD?

sigh, Ushio, you blew it, so hard -w-'
-but hey, we all knew it would break -w-

-i'm still waiting for that big someone or another to show up and save the situation -w-

Does anybody know which soundtrack plays when the spear breaks and Ushio gets bashed into the sea? I really need to know. I rarely like choral music but this was done just right. Wish I could listen to it somewhere else. Having to open an episode for this is kinda annoying :P Even though I kinda enjoyed the scene.

Some people are saying : "Ushio's a little bitch"

But, hey, if someone kill your family and your friends, you're still gonna be ok mentally ?
Did that actually happen to you, haters ?
He is maybe throwing his life by doing that and all he got is :

-His friends forgot all about him
-He got slapped by his mother that he searched for so long
-The person/monster he trusted the most of all, Tora, killed one of his friend
-All his friends who had nothing to do with this are targeted by Hakumen no Mono to provoke despair on Ushio

Just how ? Haters, explain me, how can someone be ok mentally after all the shit he went through ?

This is one of the moments where I'm actually okay with the MC completely breaking down. Especially that moment with Tora - can't believe he went through with saying he killed Nagare when Ushio's in such a fragile state of mind. Everyone's dying left and right and Ushio's not doing good.

Hakumen no Mono is a BEAST.

Please no friendship power to resolve this!

This was an AWESOME episode, what makes shounen series so damn fun to watch is when it looks like they've lost everything, and how they find the strength to come back and win is always quite the spectacle in the best of such series, and Ushio and Tora is definitely up there!

thank god this series is back on track these past 2 episodes, im just gonna pretend episode 5 was some weird fever dream of horrible writing


Nagare's motivations were supposed to come across as nonsensical and something that only made sense to him.

Honestly, I never see that in writing; even though it's so true to life. People do things all the time that only makes sense to them, even if nothing about it logically makes any sense at all.

I kinda liked Nagare more because of that, honestly.

And, AH HA, I knew the subs were botched in episode 30. Them saying the monks already forgot Ushio and that's why they sealed themselves. No, they sealed themselves so they wouldn't lose their memories, which is what the Azafuse did as well (though that makes less sense when you move around the episodes, anime).

Good episode. I don't think Tora's dying next time, but I think we'll finally get some backstory. Should be great.

That epic ost when the beast spear broke.

Now that the beast spear is gone, I am just guessing a new and stronger spear will be created.

It has been implied that you can't fight Hakumen with hatred. If the beast spear is forged with hatred, the new holy spear(?) will be forged through the hopes and believes of everyone.

Although I wonder how do they even get to that point within this state of hopeless despair.


Oh god, that is the worst cliched bullshit I've ever heard. You don't build up the Beast Spear for 30+ episodes/volumes and then do that. No way in hell that'll happen. I have more faith in this series than that.

Not a bad episode, but the animation budget disappeared totally. This is like reading a manga instead of watching an anime, particularly as far as the Hakumen goes.


THIS.

Not just this episode, but all the entire 2 seasons. Most of the action scenes were just like a sequence of animated gifs. As a manga reader, sometimes I felt that the manga gave me even better feeling of "action" virtually. Last season when this was aired at the same time with One Punch Man, the difference was very obvious :(


I must not be living in the same state of delusion as the both of you.

You're acting like this was the final episode, dude. There's still 5 more. Chill the hell down.

Stop posting, idiot. They mentioned that Japan is having seismic activity of intensifying levels. Islands don't just sink in one friggin second.

Life can be cruel and unfair. At worst it can traumatize and cripple you. The desire for wanting things to return to the way they were can cost everything and changes nothing. The best way is to keep moving forward, struggle on.
Anger can be powerful but can only get you so far. Let people into your life even if some of them leave you in time.

Fight. Like. Hell. For everything and everyone you love. Always.

that was exactly the problem if you would have read my post carefully. doesnt really matter to talk about it anymore because I watched the final episode months ago.

the point still stands. the setup was ridiculous even for shounen manga/anime

I certainly can’t blame Ushio for falling into rage and despair during all this. Had a 13 year old boy remained strong and brave, faced with what he has and is going through, and after all that he has truly lost plus what he thinks he has lost as well - THAT is what would have been stupid and cliche.

I must say, seeing as how the Beast spear was made, if they have to remake it, I hope they can find an alternative for the human sacrifice. Otherwise, Ushio may face even more loss ahead. :(

Hakumen makes a pretty impressive appearence between respawning all his avatar, manipulating Ushio into careless attacking it (then again he has been on this plan for a while) and blowing up stuff.
