I'm not really sure what to write about this episode. It had quite some suspense, I was rather surprised how 'early' it ended for me. I'm looking forward to the final fight.

Wow, I didn't think Irako would send a dude with a gun at Fujiki, but I guess the message didn't specify that it was going to be a duel or whatever.

Almost done, and Fujiki still has his arm. Guessing I'm gonna end up reading this manga.

Ah, poison!? Sly bastard. And it looks like Seigen was coming for Kogan after all. D: Now I wonder if the last ep will show us how he becomes crippled, how Fujiki loses his arm (maybe cutting it off to get rid of the poison?), and how they came to be fighting in the first ep.

What a bastard. The message specified "two shadows". He could have said "we shall meet at the top" or something. But he specified two people. I had respect for him until this point. Sweet fights though.

Now I'm confused - I was absolutely sure that Gennosuke will lose his arm in this episode; I'm anxiously awaiting for explanation (about how it happened) since episode 1)... Obviously - film-makers motto is: more suspense the better! This Anime is going directly on my top five Favorite Anime list! Even before I've seen the last, the final episode! I'm confident it's going to be excellent and mind-blowing end!!! So: ta-ta-ta-taaaaaaa: Episode 12 will start in five, four, three, two, one - .......... AARGH! ARGH. AAAAAAARGH!!!! No, this is not a Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Production - as you all immediately figured out by seeing this phonetically written lion roar (LOL,yes, maybe I accidentally smoked a dooby or two). Seriously, thanks to all of the crew, I wan't more Series like this one. And now,finally....

This is the first time I haven't rolled my eyes to another katana vs gun fight, usually with the katana being given far too much liberties, especially when the gun is modern.

Nicely done.

That was one lucky break when Irako took down 3 in 1 slash after that epic fail lol (he didn't expect hitting that tree coz ya can see it in his face).

The Blind Man Association managed ta lure out the predatorial apprentices out of their lair and stall them for enough time to let Irako deal with Kogan. Irako was a sly fox when he sent Fujiki that vague message *-* They might've failed miserably but they got the job done. If those three are traitors, I'm gonna facepalm lol.

The fight scenes were prioritized in here. Yay, so pretty~ It's the first time I saw a gun in the series kukuku. Dude had VATS on but it still got deflected xD

why does almost everyone in this show have a evil/rape face. Some nice violence here even the accidental one.
