| So, no eye loss for Tahomaru? Will it be from Hyakki then? As an episode from an entertaining medieval fantasy series, this was pretty good. 4/5 As an adaptation of Tezuka's work, from what I saw of the original and its 1st adaptation, it's now clearly a full-on reappropriation who lost its initial themes to the benefit of entertaining personal drama. I guess the director didn't care for the thematic or thought nowadays TV consumers don't. It's a choice... @Mormegil But you do care about the elder? I wonder how you reached that point... |

| Although he has a face of a selfish character, Tahoumaru is a good guy after all ... |
"The Slave is the have-not, the oppressed one with nothing to spare. But because the Slave is in that despairing situation, having nothing, it can kill the Emperor !" |
| Easily the worst episode of the series. I don't care about his brother. |
| Preparations are done. So lets begin with the main part of this Anime. Revenge, family and blood. Im so hyped for the next episodes. |
| My only regret is having regrets! |
| I'm glad they went this way with Tahomaru's character rather than making him one of those spoiled crybaby types |
| “I love heroes, but I don't want to be one. Do you even know what a hero is!? For example, you have some meat. Pirates will feast on the meat, but the hero will distribute it among the people! I want to eat the meat!” - Monkey D. Luffy |
| This episode really made me like Tahomaru. I think he acts the way a leader should, unlike his father who’s just power hungry. Tahomaru seems to genuinely care about the people. He and Hyakkimaru finally meet in the end. I wonder how he’s gonna react when he learns who Hyakkimaru really is? |
| Previous episodes, I used to think Tahomaru was simply the spoiled, full of himself son of an important figure, but this episode changed that. He's far more likeable now. Tbh, I didn't like this ep as much as the other ones. |
 |
| Tahomaru's pretty cool despite Daigo being Daigo and it's nice that he wasn't as unbearable as I thought he would be. It would've been a funny twist if Tahomaru's crusade againt the giant enemy crab ended up giving Hyakkimaru one of his body parts back and accidentally breaking the pact with another one of the 12 Demons, making his father's situation worse in the process. That didn't happen but Hyakki went to see what the commotion was all about at the aftermath of the fight and ended up getting spotted by Daigo from afar instead. I bet that he didn't count on his abomination of a son to look so handsome and stoic after so long~ |
 |
| so, is mutsu a boy or a girl...? |
  |
| Looks like the show is nearing its climax, I love how they shifted the focus on Tahomaru, a rare case of character that I happened to label him as the evil jealous younger brother that would want to kill the older brother for whatever reason, but now, he seems like a genius person with great potential to be a kind ruler to his people. Too bad he didn't see Hyakmary's family crest when they were passing by him. I thought Tahomaru was going to be close in terms of fighting skills, but Hyakkimaru destroyed that crab with one shot, maybe because he was already worn out? Call me biased, but I'm' giving Hyakkimaru the edge here. |
| I thought Tahomaru is just an annoying spoiled brat but he seems like a good kid. |
 |
| Tahomaru seems like a great guy. |
 |
| A brotherly attack finished that demon. |

Ikano said: On another note......I only saw Hyakki missing one leg and two arms while he was "bathing" [*grin*] and of course he's missing sight...so everything else he's missing must be internal and we wouldn't necessarily see him getting it back...unless he winces or something.... (does he have like sense of taste for instance? I wonder....) maybe he's missing his dick CCC47 said: Daigo not telling Tahomaru his secret might be his downfall, because then Tahomaru wanted to beat the monsters just like Hyakkimaru, and together they both beat that crab. Tahomaru meeting with Hyakkimaru at the end was so cool! I wonder what will happen next! it's hilarious that Tahomaru killed the monster that his dad is trying to protect lmao Daigo would be so pissed if he finds out Tahomaru's helping his brother unknowingly on the side note, the crab monster looks yummy... |
| It's kind of strange when Hyakkimaru deals a single killing blow and then everyone even the prince left the scene immediately, like NPCs going back to regular life, but maybe the rest is for next episode. I imagine further down the road the prince will hunt Hyakkimaru in an attempt to make his father proud. |
 |
| Didn't expect Tahomaru and Hyakkimaru to meet so early. Not like they know they're brothers though. |
 |
| didnt expect tahomaru to be interesting, always used to these kinds of characters to be spoiled brats in anime this is better |
| Weakest episode so far. Boss fight is such a bullshit. First frame shows us strength of the crab's armor, and in the next almighty main character already cuts him with a flick of the wrist. Moreover, he beats not even in the unprotected places between the plates. This is sooooooooo sad for such a great anime. |
 |
| So Tahomaru's sword managed to cut a giant crab's skin ? If it's wielded by Hyakkimaru it's understandable, but otherwise I don't buy this crab. |
| He who smiles in a crisis has found someone to blame. |
| Nice to see action from Hyakkimaru's brother in this one |
| I'm Bruneian and I like anime. And Manchester United. And fat cats. |
| feels like tahomaru's mom will die |
| Anime is fun. |
| So far I’m liking Tahomaru’s personality. I just hope he will not turn out to be evil like his father. |
| Tahomaru uses quite the tactics and teamwork to defeat the monster compared to his older brother Hyakkimaru who goes the brute force way of 'chop chop'. Man if only Tahomaru knew about what his dad really has done to get prosperity on his land. |
 |
| It was refreshing asf to see another battle, one of strategy and wit. But it was funny when everyone got overconfident and were on the brink of death. The fated meeting was awesome, and hykamura's brother is actually likeable asf. |
 Behold of my awesomeness~ controversial and/or sensitive topics likely devolve into the same repetitive, derogatory, abusive, and harassing comments can no longer be posted. But my feels. |
| Cool episode. Like the direction it went to showcase Tahomaru. |
 |
| So... we got Tahomaru's side of things in this episode. He seems like a great guy and he also met Hyakkimaru at the end. |
 |
| Tahomaru still thinks his dad is a honourable man, I wonder if he will come to learn everything. I feel like Hyakimaru looked at him with sadness, I guess they are brothers, and Tahomaru is innocent still |
| I have a third testicle that gives me psychic powers |
| It was an interesting episode. And hey both the brothers meet. I liked this episode. |
| Tahomaru is really getting suspicious about what's going on with his parents and rumors of a guy with prosthetic arms and legs going around killing monsters. The thing about him is he looks evil just like his dad, and he could have just been a entitled prince, with all the ruthlessness Daigo has but he's surprisingly thoughtful, honest, and deeply cares about his people. Unlike his father who got everything he has by selling his soul to demons, Tahomaru has earned the trust of everyone around him. It was incredible the way he first listened to the villagers' story and did not doubt it, then went to take on the sea monster with his companions, doing everything possible to not sacrifice a single villager- taking on the monster by himself even. I really hope his arc isn't tragic like his parents' is fated to be- Tahomaru is a really terrific guy and a true leader. Even though the monster itself was a bit silly, it's the story that counts. This was a great episode. |

| @CCC47 Yup! Every demon that is slain, takes something from the land and gives it to Hyak. So his son is his own undoing. I also just realized the mark on his forehead. Mark of Cain reference? |
