Was really cool to have Makie back, since she's one of the only few characters in the story I still give a damn about.

Also, rape of the week is back.

They didn't gave the fight of Giichi vs Abayama justice, but I didn't expected anything good anyway. The deaths of the newbies of the Itto-Ryuu were meh, since they removed almost all of their scenes, it felt like a bunch of random people dying, and the sacrifice of the sumo guy taking his oponent with him didn't feel emotive at all.

With two episodes left, I hope they at least end the series in a decent note.

Finally...the starting fight of the Rokki-dan vs. Itto-Ryu with Yatsushiba's decapitated head, triggering an all-out war starting from Abayama vs. Giichi. Even Hyakurin butts in which ended being a help to Giichi with the inexperienced lackeys. And of course, her rape almost DID in an attempt, while Giichi savagingly kills Abayama for past hatred.

With the Rokki-dan fighters (Arashino, Tareshin, Murasaki) in total Dutch/German style and brutality to the max, one by one the Itto-Ryu gets massacred badly with extensive damages. That extends to the wharves on the boat, where Makie makes her eventual return, but not for long as she gets saved by Manji.

Now you see it, now you don't. Granted this episode was one of the bad ones in this rushed adaptation. and fingers crossed that the production really hammers it good.

More characters at this point? Really? And I can't get over how bad Kagimura is at his job. Why does the guy have any power? He's been a consistent failure who only successfully kills the wrong people.

Why did Gichi and that blonde go see Habaki? And he says "You fool" or something.

He relieved them of their duty around the time manji was imprisoned.
Also in the manga Gichi feels indebted to habaki still for saving his child(that died anyway) and Hyakurin (blondie) was promised by gichi that he would help take care of her child, so shes tagging along.

A very great action-packed episode! The woman reminds me of that Samurai Champloo's woman, and that's just great.

No, they were Dutch. Remember that the Netherlands was the only Western country allowed to have a trading post in Japan between 1640 and 1850's

Credits don't give us much to go on, but yeah, there are at least 3 non Japanese, probably European origin voice actors here, which is probably the most I've ever heard in any anime, usually it's one person, like Assassination Classroom season 2 when they went on the ISS

I did the voice acting for one of the Dutch characters! It was an awesome experience recording in the studio with the director of the series.

ok, so where were these awesome fighters when itto-ryu were storming the dojos? or did that loser anotsu only targeted weak dojos like the asano dojo? do i have to read the manga? it makes no sense for them to appear like that, if they are fighters they belong to a dojo. All in all, the anime was weird, i hope the manga is better.

Lmao didn't expect the dutch language there, quite the unique fighting styles they got there

I kind of wished they didn't skip some scenes from the manga, as some characters felt kind of random

Exactly, all the action is off screen. Just a slide show with extreme pacing.

The beginning was so good, I don't know what happened

Man, they really didn't do the Giichi v Abayama fight any justice. It was one of my favourite fights.

Giichi raining down punches was terrifying in the manga

Pretty awesome.

Should have told them to not rush this anime so much though.

I quite liked this episode! Nice to see the blonde girl is back. Could’ve done without the rape of the week coming back though
