I liked this episode with Gennosuke's training, and Hyoma's connection to him.

Great stuff. It was interesting to see Hyouma and Gennosuke back in the past.

It was nice to learn the nature of the relationship between gennosuke and hyouma. Was that saemon at the end? I don't really understand how the two women that are also being influenced by the shogun or w/e relate to the story O.o

It was interesting to see two blind fighters in action.

Hyoma along with Gennosuke really grew on me. i found myself crying when Koshiro killed him...

Blah. Koshiro can't sense jackshit while he's blind, but he'll get down Hyouma because of OP kamaitachi.. A good blind fight tho.

Hyouma is a very decent guy. Shame he has to go.

I'm thinking that the Nurse of the SHogun candidate will dind out about the combat and try to influence things.

Rly .. the fight was too short. And I don't get why Hyouma didn't dodge the tornado, he could hear it right ? Such a loss, he was my favourite character.

Hyouma vs Koshirou was an excellent fight - most definitely among the best of the series thus far. Shame it wasn't longer.

That was such a shame, Hyoma was one of my favorite characters. His bond with Gennouske is truly beautiful.

Hyouma noooo. That guy was definitely one of my favorite characters, you could definitely see how much Gennosuke looked up to/respected him. Interesting that he learned that eyes from Hyouma too. Not sure how he managed to dodge an attack earlier but missed that second one, guess he didn't expect that sickle to come flying back.

I also still don't see how those two women and the kids relate to the story. That lady had eyes that reminded me of Tenzen... he's probably coming back and then I'll just get annoyed again.

TFW plot induced stupidity forces characters to run away from a recently blinded man instead of slaughtering him with ease.

He had obviously used up all his action points for the round. A common way to go in anime.

This was such a baffling episode. First off, the Kouga give up a 3 versus 1 advantage for no good reason. If they took into account how many Iga fighters are left (this is with them thinking that Tenzen is dead), then Iga has three fighters. Even if Oboro (who's nigh useless, especially to two blind Kougas) and Akeginu joined the fight, it would still be even in numbers.

Second, how in the world is Koshiro seemingly better at fighting, without sight, than Hyoma (who's lived without sight for decades) and Gennosuke (who specifically trained for circumstances with the lost of sight). In less than a week, Koshiro already became more proficient, at fighting without sight, than either those two. That' some next-level genius progress.

Why'd the Kouga run away when they had a numbers advantage? The Iga were never dumb enough to do that. Furthermore, why doesn't Hyoma just sidestep or stab Koshiro while he's charging up his vacuum attack? It's not exactly difficult to dodge if you aren't standing stationary infront of him.
