| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Heh, just when I thought an episode could of been normal, shit goes down again with the youkai and stuff. I kinda like the background storytelling though considering the focus about the past of Ushio's family side. The suffering continues D:  |
 |
| Dem feels TwT |
| ah, man this show screams out the 90's love it |
| :3 |
I thought this was a girl from the ED lol.  I knew from how she was speaking to Ushio that she was gonna die.  |

| Ushio's been facing the pain of losing people he's getting to know quite a lot recently. Good character development for him will hopefully be at the end of the line. The human form of Hakumen no mono was friggin epic creepy at the start. And she's Kirio's mother figure? O_o That's Hakumen no Mono right? Or is it something completely different? He's one annoying brat tho. He needs to get some nice beating into him. |
 |
| And looks like Hakumen no Mono has been voiced by Megumi Hayashibara, after all. |
| Soo kirios mother is hagoromo kitsune? that demon woman look like hagoromo from nurarihion no mago and their attitude,dress etc look a like, there was no Parade of hundred demons so far in ushio so i was expecting when they would had showed up. overall good episode. |
| So that part of hakumen in the cave... they really ignored it xDD And yes this blonde one was the girl from the ED (or boy...) |
AntonKutovoi said: And looks like Hakumen no Mono has been voiced by Megumi Hayashibara, after all. That's what it sounded like to me to. The secrecy was well worth it. I was a bit irritated halfway through this episode because they're few things that irritate me as much as the overpowered smug kid cliché. It really irks me. But with the twist at the end, I'm much more forgiving. The kid is basically Hakumen no Mono's Trojan Horse and his ridiculous strength emanates from her. |

| I disliked Kirio until I see that he was the "son" of that creepy woman (Hakumen no Mono?). I was funny how he think that he is strong for only cutting a sotne's monster, lol. Too bad that the old lady died, I was expecting more of her. |
 |
SkullProX said: So that part of hakumen in the cave... they really ignored it xDD Yeah, I was shocked at how much was completely skipped over. Granted it's not much for plot device stuff, but so much was completely ignored. I was really hoping to see one particular chapter animated (namely the beast spear attacking Tora whenever he tried to eat Ushio). |
| I reject your reality, and substitute my own. |
| Ushio has been losing a lot of people that he's been getting close to lately. I had a bad feeling about Kirio as soon as he was introduced and it looks like I was right. |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. MAL is literally just anime Twitter as its own website lol. |
| lol ushio and the others can't even beat an avatar of hakumen XD |
 |
SchwingBoner said: [center] I thought this was a girl from the ED lol. Yeah I thought the same. Now I feel a little gay. |
 |
| That blonde little shit. I hate him already. |
| I'm sure this blond Kid is adopted. When he will fight against Ushio, he will loose and prey for his mom "Okaa-san... Okaa-san..." And Hakumen no mono will creepy smile to him et eat him. "You was finally so useless my child..." Yeah, I hate him too. He is ridiculous when he kills the stone avatar xD |
| Unless Kirio is brainwashed...that tends to happen a lot in this anime. Also there's only 5 episodes left I believe...that is not enough time IMO to wrap every thing up. |

| That was actually a pretty great episode. Really enjoyed it. |

I am Hatedmainofanime. More no one. |
| Unfortunately, the episode's big emotional moment felt a little flat to me. Everything was just so rushed. It's easy to understand why Ushio would have a break down(even if he barely knows the old woman) because that's just the type of good guy he is. But WE barely know her. Hard to sympathize and feel anything for her because of that. Besides that, the stuff with the creepy woman seems interesting enough. |
SchwingBoner said: I thought this was a girl from the ED lol. Well who didn't ? That kid sure is Hateable , just like every shithead i just hope he'll die or get his ass beat . if Ushio can't beat an Avatar of Hakumen no Mono then how the fuck can he beat the real deal ? |
 |
| Can't believe they just went and introduced another random character. Here I thought he was another girl ready to be added to his harem :( |
 |
| Episode really beautiful, and intriguing narrative with some good twists, the designs of excellent workmanship and the OST, round up .There wait to look at the next episode. |
 |
| A direct challenge to the very existence of the beast spear! Kirio does seem to be quite the stuck-up. Wonder if he would be a fine lad once he isn't so misguided. |
 |
| Kirio looks cute,but he's a guy :/ |
| Lead me out of the dark,bishounen space Jesus. |
| Ushio got trolled by his dad again lol and Kirio that fucking bitch |
 |
| So they skipped the arc where Ushio removes the cloth on the beast spear for the first time... they skipped all of Kyoura... they skipped showing that the beast spear protects Ushio on instinct... and they skipped all of the stuff about the girls and two story arcs about Asako and Mayuko. I'm honestly going from lowkey to highkey bothered about this. |
| Please tell me Kirio eats shit. I'm going to assume Hakumen no longer has any use for him at some point and goes "you done fucked up bye" and kills him. It's been a while since I've wanted to punch a character in the face, but holy hell. Best part of the episode was Tora happily eating a hamburger tbh. straggy said: they skipped showing that the beast spear protects Ushio on instinct... I thought they showed that, though? It's heavily implied throughout the show anyway. and they skipped all of the stuff about the girls and two story arcs about Asako and Mayuko. Are they really all that relevant though? The anime seems to be focused on Ushio, so I guess they just cut out stuff about most of the other characters. They could always throw it in later on if it's anything important. alpha_shadow said: ah, man this show screams out the 90's love it That's because the manga is from the 90s. |
 |
| I hope that little kid get's his ass beat for being a spoiled brat. I hate that type of character. Mom's kind of cute in a creepy way though. |
| They're capturing the creep factor of this arc quite nicely. |
 |
| I am so curious about the mysterious woman! Also Kirio is with her, I have a feeling that he will be a big trouble. |
 |
bittersweetlove said: I am so curious about the mysterious woman! Really? I thought it was pretty obvious that she's To clarify, I haven't read the manga, but I'll be very surprised if she turns out to be somebody else, since she's after the spear. |
|
| since episode 12, this anime became fucking great |

No, there's a specific story in the manga that covers it, that's what I'm talking about. and they skipped all of the stuff about the girls and two story arcs about Asako and Mayuko.

They skipped the after party for all the girls that they planned (it's comic relief but gives them some more personality) and they skipped a story where Asako and Mayuko work together to defeat a youkai (which was sweet and gave them more character and a stronger relationship with each other) and another where Ushio saves Asako from a youkai just before the story this episode covered that was really important to Ushio and Asako's relationship. That story was pretty interesting too because it showed how youkai are changing their ways and developing to adapt to modern society. |
| Kirio is crazy. I hope he gets a wake up call soon. Hakumen no Mono is that woman? |
| Lol this kid kills a defeated foe and acts like he did something impressive, and then the bald dude says "come here" and we don't see what he says to him, but I guess we must assume he complimented him based on the ending where he says someone important in the sect praised him????? |
| Jaywalker. |
| The action was good, but the episode are always the same. Ushio is useless, then someone helps him and dies or almost. |
| Kirio is hot |
 |
| POWERFUL scythe kid is too blatantly suspicious though. I mean, the writer of this shit could've at least made a convincing argument for why we should trust him. |

| The kid is trouble ... :/ |
 |
| Hmm Hakumen no Mono had an avatar. That was king of random. Alright episode. |
 |
| So that mother of the creepy kid is the woman in the start of the episode. And if am not wrong that woman looked very much like Hakumen No Mono. If we assume that the fox is still deep down in the see then the woman is another avatar or has Hakumen managed to escape without destroying Japan? |
Drake1000 said: I guess Ushio won't be going to visit his mom in the deep sea. As expected the last successor revealed has much more plot relevance than the others, so he's the son of the youkai woman that fights Ushio in the op and that appears in the beginning of this episode. I'm guessing she will be the midway boss for these last episodes and Hakumen no mono will have the last cour. Kirio sure is proud of cutting a giant floating statue, when he was just staring at Hakumen no mono's avatar I find it kinda ironic that the 4 successors probably know a lot about the spear but the chosen one doesn't know how to bring the full extent of it's power. King assumptions, that's what I'm going to call you from now on. You judge everything to come based on one episode and seem incapable of something called foresight, or can even grasp proper storytelling. That aside, I liked this episode. This is probably yet another Hakumen avatar that stole part of the sash and manipulated Kirio. This was obviously a flashback too, as she had just given Kirio his hat that he was already wearing. Hell, since it was all in the past, it might've been the same avatar. I'm betting that, actually. I liked that the old woman was revealed as Hizaki Mikado. You people didn't care about her? Hello, she's the one from episode 4 who sealed the Gamin originally. I knew her from her name and I was shocked to see that it was her. I do with the anime included one line about how Jie Mei only reincarnated one time as Yuki and then had children before the final battle and chose her successors among them. At first I thought she reincarnated every time, but I was mistaken. It's all still there, but you gotta pay close attention. The subs don't help. I like having, essentially, a double agent as Kirio in the series. Adds a level of unease and unpredictability. He's clearly not fond of the Beast Spear, has some interesting toys of his own that seem fairly modernized and is secretly carrying out Hakumen's agenda from the inside, unintentionally, no doubt, as his "mama". straggy said: Zazie122 said: I thought they showed that, though?

That story was pretty interesting too because it showed how youkai are changing their ways and developing to adapt to modern society. I gotta agree with the other guy. The Spear protecting Ushio is already heavily implied and shown many times throughout; we don't need a full chapter on it. The whole Tora eating Ushio thing is old now. Tora could've eaten him 9000 times in just the last 3 episodes, so it's clear he's over it. We don't need to bring that back again. We all knew he was bluffing about it by episode 5. And, while I agree some bits about Ayako could be important, they can probably be included in minor pieces later on and aren't worth a full story. They did that quite well in episode 10 with the angry priest guy. I did want to see more about the spear's sash though, yeah, but, again, probably in due time. |

| Life can be cruel and unfair. At worst it can traumatize and cripple you. The desire for wanting things to return to the way they were can cost everything and changes nothing. The best way is to keep moving forward, struggle on. Anger can be powerful but can only get you so far. Let people into your life even if some of them leave you in time. Fight. Like. Hell. For everything and everyone you love. Always. |
| Kirio is so freaking annoying and it seems that he is controlled by Hakumen no Mono. He actually thinks he defeated that yokai, he only shattered the rock. RIP Oyakume-sama. |
 |
| Ushio is back home. Asshole Ushio killed the ants. That kid is attacking them. She been alive for 400 years? Holy crap! The old lady is Mikado. No wonder Ushio said she looked like a girl he knows. Mikado still got it. Mikado died. RIP HnM is Kirio's mama? |
| If you see that my post is exactly 1 month old (or more) from when it was posted... Don't waste your time, especially when you want to reply with something petty & insignificant. Assume that I've moved on (because I have). |
