| On the third morning after Nio joined the Miburo, he encounters an unfamiliar boy named Tarou Tanaka. Curious about this peer, Nio soon discovers that Kamo has cut down one of their comrades. |

| it was a great episode i was not sure first if he really killed the other guy but i knew that if it was true, it was because he was a traitor... |

| This episode was very well written. We've passed the 3 episodes test with flying colors and I gave my rating a boost from 7 to 8. Looking forward to see where this goes and if the writers can keep up the good work. |

| If he killed the traitor, why make it look like he murdered him instead? Why not just say so... |
 |
| Crucial episode because of the 3 ep rule. I was considering dropping this anime because the fight scenes were insanely underwhelming in ep1 and ep2. This episode didn't have a fight scene but at least it was interesting, can't really say that about the other 2 episodes. It also has insane gay vibes, idk how to feel about that I keep watching for now, but if they can't produce a single good fight scene with proper animation I'm dropping it. I did NOT pick up a samurai themed anime just to have no good fight scenes |
| This failed the 3-episode rule for me. There's no action, or any movement in general, characters have big emotional moments and developments that come out of nowhere, the story doesn't really make sense. Why did Serizawa insist that he killed that guy in an drunken rage, and why did he need that body hidden out of sight? Maybe there's a good reason for it but I missed it out of boredom and awkwardness. The show feels comfortably trope-y, but at the same time it has strange vibes that I just can't get into. It's as if an alien wrote it... |
| Nio’s boldness is something else |
 |
| We meet one other kid Taro, and we'll meet another one in the next episode. Actually, this is the tone I would have preferred for The Elusive Samurai. |
 not the twist i was expecting but watchable enough so next! |
| The Miburo, plus Nio himself, is now 15-men strong, though the one outlier of No. 13 Taro Tanaka being the first wolf, what gives of him of the need being given space? As much as Nio wants to help him (and evading Hijikata), Taro's thinking is just not the same because of his origins as a slave whom Serizawa found him in one of the aforementioned places, and Soji gives him a bit of a reality check on the cusp of friendship. But Serizawa's deed of killing the fellow Miburo of Tonoichi being found out by Hijikata, and with Taro being his slave to do anything he desired, there're consequences to it, and simply put, Nio is not prepared for the onslaught that Taro blemished for him to witness. Regardless, Nio rendering his full support to Taro to dispose Tonoichi at Shijo River, only to end up having his valuables be exposed instead for the public to see, Serizawa takes things into his own matters with Nio analyzing the situation with his sharp mind, the latter may not have the expertise to face the bigger trials yet, but for Serizawa's bit, he did survive out of it, and proved that there IS a soul for the living and dead. Nio using Soji's tactic on him, on Taro to build friendship...that will take some time instead. |
 |
| At first it seems Tanaka is giving the other orphan Nio a reality check by dumping bodies for his elder Serizawa. It's not the Shinsengumi Nio envisioned. But Nio risks it all to find the truth. The ones who found him see him in the next generation. |
