Oh dear God I was wincing through that entire 'white hot metal meets something that it shouldn't scene sitting crossed legged... Eek

And OMFG that eye slashing scene was just brutual, I didn't feel much for Seigen before but this past episode a great deal of pity has come.

I love this anime series so damn much. What else freaky, brutul thing can possibly happen in the upcoming episodes.

Kogan is brutal pretty much, and creepy as hell. I don't get how he knew about Seigen messing around though, in regards to the nipple thing.

I guess it has something to do with Seigen doing the bean slicing trick off her nipple in episode 3 or 4.

From what I've heard from bloggers this is where the series starts to kick in, when not really in pace, but in the progress of the story. If you liked what you've seen you'll love what's next.

It definitely feels like now the story begins, with the allusion to the three monsters and the "birth day" and all. I've loved it up to this point, looking forward to the rest!

He mentioned how he could sense who had used his tools.

Fujiki managed to use his sword and Kogan found out so I presume he thinks of the woman (can't remember her name) as his tool and hence the same principle applies.

Awesome episode, enjoyed it till the end. On a side note, I'd love to see a woman like Mie fight with this drawing style. That'd look awesome.

Yeah, that's a nice twist. You don't see that a lot. The girl falling for the other man. Then again, neither Fujiki nor Irako is clearly the hero or villain in this anime. You sympathize or hate both by turns. The old man's the real villain. o.o

Absolutely loved the episode. Irako is now short a few things, and Fujiki is the inheritor. I'm liking Mie even more after learning those things about her.

Lol at Kogan during Irako's fantasy of receiving the inheritance.

It's scary to think how someone can be that violent. I suddenly have the urge to go out and read up on the psychology of violent murderers. :/

I'm actually feeling sorry for Seigen. As loathsome as his face is, no one deserves to go blind that way, or get that scary punishment.

I guess that explains how Seigen lost his eyesight, but how did Fujiki lose his arm? Can't wait for the next eps! :D

Lol stupid Mie, she completely misjudged Siegen. "Oh he was protecting my pride!" Sorry darling, no, he's just making sure his place is cemented within the household by making sure you live and marry him and therefore allow him to claim the dowry.

I wonder how Fujiki has changed and why apparently he's a monster now, too. @_@ So far I don't think he's done very many bad things (except for blindly following his sensei and not sticking up for Mie during the first succession announcement).

Really, Seigen hasn't done anything bad in this show so far aside from adultery (which, not like a lot of other people in the show probably didn't do it at some time too) and not caring about other people's feelings.

Fujiki, now he's a total ass and a jerk. Not to mention, Irako is so far inherently the best character in the show cause he's the girliest.

Seigen definitely didn't deserve what was done to him, but never the less the fighting was still amazing to watch.

How come Seigen didn't deserve this? He fucked Iku and plotted against the man who was gonna hand him the freaking dojo. He was a dumbass and totally deserved this, IMO. 5/5

Well they did give him the backstory of him being born as a demon child and how he had nothing.

Revenge and retribution. Oh so much of it.

Seigen's ambition finally got him seriously injured. And I wonder how Fujiki and Mie will be a able to be a couple now that she apparently fell for Irako.

A brutal masterpiece this is.

Fucking scrubs couldn't handle Irako's swag
He was clearly too good for them so they had to cheat
That was really sad, what happened to him
I never realized how much I liked him until this episode
He's kind of going through a Griffith phase right now, if you know what I'm saying. Everything he has done was very similar to the events of Berserk.
The art direction and use of colors and still frames really added to the experience, the director of this and Texhnolyze is truly a master at making superb anime

Great conclusion. Have to agree. Although I do have a question, in the field on Akiba Mt., does anyone know what insect was lying on the floor dead? U can see them before the fight starts.

Interesting turn of events but damn did Irako get ****** over. Fujiki probably doesn't win that fight if Irako wasn't handicapped. In the least he would of had to resort to using his secret technique right off the bat.

That moment when you watched this episode before starting the episode before it @_@ Oh well.

Gonzaemon ate Iku's sliced nipple ugh. Irako got deceived by Kogan because of his conspirical treachery and got a taste of his own medicine along with that poppy infusion. Kogan might do fucked up things but it's better not ta do anything behind his back...

Poor guy (not really) actually envisioned a happy end but all he got was a white-hot burnt dick (*shivers*) and slashed eyes that don't work for shit. The ladies actually had hopes for him, especially Mie but boy she's in for a letdown. Fujiki ain't happy with what happened to his former brother-in-arms it seems. 3 monsters have been born kek.

Ah, that old man is selfish piece of shit. Is someone destined to take his life away 'cause I want to see that happen and find myself drowning in pleasure.

Main problem is how I'm disappointed in Irako - the only one I like out of the cast yet this time he gone overestimating himself causing an eyes-loss...and burned balls? I feel sorry for him tho. It's my favorite after all.

"Everyone is an asshole".

So true, they are fucked up. But the reason for that is the world they live in. No freedom, only duty and loyalty. Emotions lead to weakness and a weak samurai doesn't just die, he brings disaster to his entire household.

Honestly I think the ordinary peasants during that time were better off than the nobility.

K I know this is a thread with a beard and a kane but still, I had to look it up, what the punishment was for.

was it because of the bean slicing on the nipple? and then you said fucking kogans wife.... yeah ok now that granny sex scene makes sense, I thought it was just a nightmare or something.

It's weak how the big glasgow smile guy has to win by cheating,... or was it really cheating... They knew according to rules he had to stop the swing, and they were about to exact punishment + it was never meant to be a pupil training fight even without the intent of punishment.


A lot of things that happen are really unclear to me, what exactly is happening and why.... it's a confusing anime


Also, a medicine made of poppy seed that wil melt the pain away...

they gave him heroine yo hahaha
