3 monks meeting youkai w. one of the pearls.

The group are going to protect monks since they are in danger, and that includes son of monk and Sango protecting his father who is in training for 1000 days. Daughter also visiting him.

Miroku seems to lose confidence when he lost that power on the hand. Sango's brother met Inuyasha's daughter for the same reason. The youkai chose Miroku, though. So that youkai is one of those who work for Kirinmaru.

The power reminds Miroku the power he lost. Sister requested to undo the seal to release her youkai power from Miroku.

Father and son tension eased, too.

Next after new year, which means January 9, 2021. Kabuki face, and he is the reason the sisters got separated.

The 2nd-cour OP is amazing. The bonus animation after the OP is cute.

I'm pleased to see how well Miroku and his son's made up turns out, 200 days left and they can be an united family again, I hope he did got the divine power he seek.

Setsuna's poison body looks quite strong, I wonder what power Touwa inherited and when they gonna reveal it.

Well, it didn't answer any questions, although we did get Miroku again. You know, I was kinda worried that something happened to Sango's face, considering how they kinda paused before they revealed her looking at Hisui but nope nothing.

Setsuna's demon transformation seems more potent than Inuyasha's was. He had to be in a life-or-death situation to undergo a transformation, while simply removing the seal was good enough to trigger Setsuna's transformation. The only reasons I can come up with for this is that Setsuna is too young and weak to be able to handle the power

or

Sesshoumaru is just that much more powerful than Toga was. Unlikely though. Not that Sesshoumaru wouldn't be as powerful as his dad, its just that Towa would be suffering from the same probelm. They might have inherited different abilities but unless they inherited wildly different amounts of demon energy, they should both be unable to handle Sesshoumaru's blood. Its not really that important, just something that I felt like thinking about. Anyway, with this and the past few episodes, they're really doubling down on the twins having very different abilities.

The villain wasn't very interesting. He lives to fight another day but I don't think anybody would've been sad if he was a one-and-done. Next week's episode also seems to be about important plot points. I'm sure it will be very revealing and definitely not confusing or aggravating.

It was one of the better episodes for sure but I still have a mixed opinion about this anime so far. Where did Hisui's other sister gone?

I still aren't get too used to Miroku's new voice compared to his previous VA.

Most likely dead, that Gyokuto's scene with Sango with her asking what's her message to Miroku seems weird as if it implied she had some issue with Miroku and Sango looks like she's praying in what most likely a Tamaya shrine (a small shrine in the household for the deceased) and then Hisui's scene with Sango seems there's no issue but it's all likely she's really dead, there's no reason Miroku would train like that for no reason, he had this issue when he lost his wind tunnel, everyone knows he's only human without that ability, all the more reason they probably lost a daughter against that demon

Poor Moroha got her bounty nullified again. 🀣

Nice to see Hisui change his opinion towards his father. Setsuna in her Demon form was pretty good too!

Great episode.

Monk Miroku! Awesome to see him again in this series after anticipating it for a while. I do wonder why he's conducting this one thousand days of training in the first place. Since we only see one of the twin girls I have worries about that but for later. This episode had some good action with Towa and Setsuna fighting the last of the four perils. Totetsu eating that monk to start the episode was super creepy, instant way to make us hate him a lot. Good contrast with Totetsu having a power similar to Miroku old wind tunnel. Hisui having that bad relationship with his father after Miroku ran away for his training, I'm glad that Hisui found some understanding at the end of the episode. Setsuna knowing Miroku is interesting, him setting a seal on her more vicious demon powers, I hope we see more of her like that when she fights Kirinmaru with the other girls. Funny how Moroha just got the shaft and no bounty again, I kinda like that running gag. I hope the rest of Miroku training goes well.

A case of a Four Perils demon eating monks? That's harsh.

Moroha getting left behind is just a running gag at this point. She sure wants her bounty.

And of course, since it's a monk episode, Miroku shows up conveniently as the Demon Slayers' Father, and it's nice to see him back, even if he's lost Wind Tunnel from the days of Inuyasha: The Final Act.

A simple misinderstanding between him and Hisui, that's to be expected. But kinda glad it was resolved.

Setsuna's demon transformation though, is kinda like a low-tier Inuyasha. But leaves a lot of room for doubt in future episodes of use...

Still can't get over the fact that both Miroku and Sango are ageless...

Occam's razor...the simplest answer is that Kinu is dead, the other twin sister of Gyokuto, given all the clues in this episode. That would make the most sense, but it still leaves a bitter taste in the mouth. That's depressing.

At least it was really nice finally seeing Miroku and Sango again, and that Hisui made up with his father.

I was a bit disappointed that sango didnt do anything in this episode and that we didnt get any answers again. also it seems like the other daughter of sango and miroku is probably dead, poor moroha is becoming a gag at this point lmao. Setsuna clearly isnt capable of handling her demon powers she inherited from sesshoumaru since she is very young and weak much like how inuyasha couldnt handle it either i wonder what towa inherited from sesshoumaru. next episode seems to revolve around the fire in the forest the girls got involved as kids and sesshoumaru is making his appearance im excited i hope we get some answers on the next episode.

It was great seeing Miroku and Sango this episode, but there’s still so many questions I have. I’m still lost on why no one is mentioning Kagome and Inuyasha or Rin or anything that happened in the past. It’s like this massive elephant in the room that no one’s discussing.

I’m assuming the other twin is dead, which is pretty sad considering where Final Act left off at. That could explain why Miroku is off doing his training.

Overall the episode was fun, some cool moments today and great to see some of
Old cast. Just hope we get answers soon cause it’s killing me

Good to see Miroku and Sango back. Is Kirinmaru actually from China since Totetsu seems to know Sanzo from Journey to the West.
It doesn't matter if you like LoGH,Monster etc.If you are a jobless or college/school dropout living in your mom basement, you are still an unintelligent loser. Taste in anime does not make you a better person.

This episode was okay, but its still lacking that charm that would make this show more engaging. Moroha is still being as a third wheel background character as the series continues to focus Setsuna and Towa.

I barely see Miroku with his hair down. I almost didn't recognize Miroku's older version.
He always had his hair tied up in the prequel. His hair color is so similar to Setsuna's hair color.

It's good too see that Setsuna has some hidden power and not just the cyclone burst and scourge of swallows. looking forward to see what hidden power Towa inherited.

Good to see Miroku and Sango again, Sango looks beautiful as a housewife. Battle with one of four perils but they couldn't slay him and he ran away. Thou it was nice to know more about Setsuna's powers, so she inherited the poison from Sesshoumaru.

It was Kin'U's grave. One of the twin girls that Sango gave birth to. I suppose that's the motivation for Miroku's training now that we know Inuyasha and Kagome have been trapped in a pearl for 14 years.

I actually prefer a fighter Sango than a housewife. Her children are grown up now. Surely she doesn't need to tend to them much.

She got him back. If you understand the characters well enough, you'd know she did!

I was wondering why they weren't showing Sango's face initially. I was thinking she got scarred or something, but damn, after a decade and with kids, she's as beautiful as ever! It looks like one of the daughters died somehow?

He's the demon who ate and killed Sanzo instead of Sun Wukong? Interesting.

Makoto Yasumura's Miroku doesn't sound bad. I think it fits older Miroku pretty well. But I do miss the original Miroku VA Kouji Tsujitani a lot. :(

Sango is still as beautiful as she was in Inuyasha. Best girls don't age!

Last episode had Towa in human mode and now this episode has Setsuna in demon mode. Meh, Inuyasha's demon form was a lot cooler.

Seems like there will be actual plot development in the next episode. So far I couldn't care less about the villains.

About time.

The story is finally starting to move beyond fighting and killing a bad guy every episode.

I find it quite interesting that Miroku misses his wind tunnel so much, considering it was more of a curse than a power most of the time.

So Setsuna can also transform into a complete demon state like Inuyasha did. Although the conditions needed for the transformation seem to be different from that of Inuyasha's considering a seal is needed to suppress it. I'm looking forward to how Towa and Setsuna's abilities will differ from each other going forward.

Also, this is the 2nd time Towa and Setsuna defeat a villain while Moroha is somewhere else and does nothing.
