Damn, this episdoe really escalated. Kesha definitely felt like the first major antagonist in the show. But luckily, everyone managed to overcome the problem together.

Seems everyone is getting used to Himari now, even Ise. Speaking of which, it was kinda interesting to see a gentler side of himself, especially at seeing his chemistry with Aoi.

With Kasha's introduction and return to the Momochi House, Aoi, Yukari and Ise find themselves in a position to seal the hidden darkness of the House, though this is all unknown to Himari, whom the yokai spoke to her about their true beings. And Himari being able to spot the black wheels around the House that just screams Kasha, it's a trap to ensnare the Nue, leaving both Yukari and Ise to save him, though the latter used his power at the extent of him losing control of his own powers, as shikigami loyal to Aoi, laden with a curse that he'll rot if he used his powers in the human world.

Ise as part of the Shojo clan, he comes from a well-regarded family, though he's labelled as the black sheep. Together with his ayakashi servant, Ise manages to cross to the human world through the Momochi House, even when he expended his powers by breaking the rules. Ise to then only be brought back by Aoi to the House to serve him with his servant using all of his power to save his loyal master, that's where the request to save him and bring him under his rule, that helps in the long run. As to saving him, Himari giving him the push to save Aoi, to then command Ise to bring him back to control, it's all for the best.

To the Omamori and shikigami, Himari is their best weapon against Kasha, and Aoi giving a kiss to Himari as thanks, that's your reminder that this is still a Shoujo series after all.

Definitely a much needed episode to flesh out Ise, explain his shoujo(double entendre) origins, his loyalty to Aoi and why he’s such an asshole towards our girl Himari all the time. Got a chance to learn about Kasha and what makes him so scary too.

The ayakashi hierarchy is quite interesting. Kasha is a really intimidating adversary for sure. Got serious Voldemort vibes from the minor spirits not wanting to bring up his name. It’s also still crazy to me how rude the minor ayakashi are to Himari like it’s HER HOUSE and they treat her like a nuisance lol.

Nope, Aoi’s not going to be able to flirt his way out of this one. Himari wants answers and now.

I think Kasha and Himari are now set up as a juxtaposition. Himari is going to be the love interest of Aoi’s human side and Kasha has demonstrated an obsession with Nue. Aoi not being able to see the marks also seems to indicate he’s leaning more to the ayakashi side at this point?

Ise’s backstory in the spiritual realm with losing his friend and everything was pretty sad, but he’s making the most of the life he was given thru his friend’s sacrifice

I feel like this episode helped bridge the gap between Himari and Ise a lot which is nice because bro was really getting on my nerves with how flippant he was towards her. I can empathise with him a bit more now.

Think the story is finally gonna get going now

Ise with long hair is something else.

An incredible episode, I really enjoyed it a lot.

We got to learn more about the Ayakashi and about Ise's backstory of how he met with Aoi.

Kasha is definitely the antagonist right now, though I don't know if he is gonna be the only one, or if more are to come.

It also looks like everyone is comfortable with Himari being at the Momochi House which is nice.

i stuck around for a little, but this is just reverse harem with some fantasy to make it more enjoyable for more casual watchers?

ehhhhh... Himari's personality also sucks.

I'm guessing every time Aoi uses his Nue powers, he loses a little bit of humanity, or time on the human side or something.

Easy to predict.

This episode was the cutest thing!
I even shed a few tears with Ise's story. It gave a better idea of their relationship with Aoi;they are truly like a family! (ˍ)

I love the fact Ise and Yukari have practically been his older brothers, now we got Himari in the picture and Aoi falling in love with her is something the two of them are coming to terms with.

I was hoping the plot would pick up a little more by now, but I’m still not really feeling it tbh. It feels kind of superficial, like a lot of stuff keeps happening but it doesn’t really feel connected or fleshed out at all. Like Ise takes two steps into the human world, and immediately encounters a situation that makes him use the forbidden powers?? It just felt too sudden.

It hurts a little how generic this is and how quickly every relation is formed

Probably the best paced episode so far. I enjoyed the basic backstory of Ise and the casual banter between the main cast, but I think the action scenes have been very underwhelming. They all kind of amount to Aoi getting bodied by a stronger youkai, a few spells are thrown around, and then he prevails by the power of friendship.

I’m hoping since the exposition has already been covered that future episodes match this episode in quality since they don’t have to dump a bunch of lore to explain what’s even going on anymore.
