Damn, I felt bad for Ushio this episode. Felt like he was tortured both mentally and physically...


I feel like karma bit back against Kirio though but is still disturbing. Still loved the way Ushio fought back though. Almost felt bad for Kirio this episode afterwards.

I have no sympathy for Kirio whatsoever and those dumbass priests that followed him got what they deserved

Still, I'm really glad that everything turned out okay because I felt really bad for Ushio and I liked all of the bits with Tora as well

This ep was great. Definitely one of my favs so far. The faces this crazy chick made were so damn epic. DEM Details! Dat malice!

And the OST was amazing. Animation was probably the highest it's ever been in the series too

Wow, intense episode. Ushio was really badass and I think he'll become even more mature after this ep.


I felt sorry for Kirio the most. Even though that woman used & manipulated him, she was still his mother figure and he had to kill her.

What a performance by Megumi Han.

I still can't bring myself to feel sorry for Kirio, but what he went through was still pretty terrible. Being lied to and manipulated by the only person you've ever loved.

Also, did anyone else notice Nagare and Hinowa standing when they put up that barrier with Ushio's dad? I thought they said they weren't able to use their legs.
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.

Crazy girl. Great episode.
But it's important to remember that a movie review is subjective;it only gives you one person's opinion.

It doesn't matter if you like LoGH,Monster etc.If you are a jobless or college/school dropout living in your mom basement, you are still an unintelligent loser. Taste in anime does not make you a better person.If elitist don't exist, casual pleb and shit taste also don't exist.

Glad that the arc of Kirio has finished. He was a fool manipulated by that fox-woman and I laughed a bit when she says to him that she never cared for him. The scene when he kills her was cool, though.

Ushio was badass this episode, the scene when he recover the spear again was creepy, but at the end the day is saved. That fox-woman had nice crazy expressions, too bad that she died this early.

Why was he angry about Ushio destroying the stone emeth thing? Just confused, I couldn't tell if he meant Ushio should of erased the E rather than slam into it, as if it could of been useful not destroyed? Unless he was mad he couldn't commit his suicide, which would be odd?

Despite Kirio not dying as I had hoped, I still thoroughly this episode where Kirio gets thrown around like a ragdoll in a pitbull's mouth, while at the same time recieving psychological damage from his "mother's" lies. Throughout those scenes where Kirio and the monks were getting beaten, I was like "Fuck yeah!" with my maniacal laugh and grin up was wider than Hakumen no Mono's itself. Eat karma, bitches!

I also counted; there was a minimum of 52 crap-scythe-wielding priests/monks. By the end of the episode, there were only 12. While not explicitly shown, I'm happy most of them fucking got killed nonetheless by Hakumen's avatar. Especicially since it was after all the shit they put Ushio through by attacking him with lethal force, stealing from him, and still having the gall to call him "Ushio-dono" when they think they've already won without doing jack shit to Hakumen no Mono.

The best part of this episode was probably Ushio getting more used to the spear, able to use only the spear's hilt end to destroy the "e" in emeth on the golem. Still a little ominous with the blacksmith coming back from the netherworld to reaffirm Ushio's resolve, as if he's damning his soul to hell in exchange for power.

This was such a great episode and concluded this arc with Kirio and his mother. Kirio's mother was so creepy throughout the entirety of this episode. I had a feeling Kirio's mother was somehow related to Hakuen no Mono and it was true after all. Ushio got the spear back but agreeing to Giryou's conditions. Ushio sure is one badass beast spear wielder. Kirio was easily manipulated by his mother and kept fighting against Ushio. However, he finally realised that she kept lying finished her off himself. Kirio literally broke down and was in a complete mess. That's when Ushio came in and slapped Kirio back into reality. I really liked what Ushio told Kirio about working together to defeat Hakuen no Mono once and for all. Loved the OST that played during that scene. Man, I love this anime.

Kirio being devastated, the first show was really drawn precisely, like wow!

Kirio's action was quite interesting, what if the avatar brought him into the whole thing by telling him, it wouldn't be surprising at all if Kirio did it anyway due to his attachment to his mother. To lose a large significant portion of what was the foundations of his life, yet it wasn't everything as he believed he was doing the right thing, that justice is on his side to bring the greater good. The what if scenario with him being raised differently and getting him to fool the entire sect, and basically to "adorn" the world, of course, the lie regarding the ability to love Kirio has to stay.

Pretty neat arc to see Hakumen no Mono having multiple tactics on destroying the beast spear. Seeing the importance and the strength of unity, it really be cool to see some short of grand battle with Kirio being a new comrade.

Wow that Golem, that thing has a Death Star-tier design flaw. Speaking of flaws, that crazy bitches plan was pretty lame. All Ushio needed to do to undo all the effort she put into raising a child for trapping the spear was undone by a bit of yelling.

It's the anime your avatar came from.

Really?! So it's from Isuca? I couldn't forget about that Anime though. The truth is, this Riddle is Alchemic-like so I think it's from FMA or Anime similar to it. I'm just confused.

Good episode, I did not find anything out of place to complain, perhaps the only flaw is always the same. Really high quality of the drawings, it is perhaps the real reason for this anime series I follow, then the plot. I was surprised when the grandfather of Ushio, launched the sort of rudder, I would not know, but it seemed strange to see something similar in his hands. LOL

I Cried T_T ... Because Kirio is still alive . Her Mom really is one Woman i wouldn't have sex with , even if my life depended on it , she's fucking Creepy . This episode just proved how scared of the spear Hakumen No Mono is
Really nice action scenes as always , finally Ushio's getting stronger . there's something i'm still Wondering , when will Ushio & Tora fight Hakumen No Mono at the end of this season or at the end of season 2 ? because to me 3 episodes seems short and 3 + 13 from season 2 seems way too long

This series is so very wonderfully 90's shounen.
Kirio getting the snot kicked out of him was delicious to watch after his incredible smugness over the last episodes.

At the end of season 2.

3+13 is in fact not enough.
The manga has 33 volumes, and Kirio's arc ended in vol18.
The anime progress seems on track. But in fact it has skipped many side arcs and simplified scenes (like the fights in this episode) to make this progress. That means they need to keep skipping things in the remaining 3+13 episodes, which is a pity :(

When the spear came back all I could think of was that "SURPRISE BITCH!" meme...

I ain't even mad that Kirio didn't die since he got the shit kicked out of him. Death would be the easy way out tbh.

Im glad Ushio got his spirit back him being emo is painful to watch.
Nothing suprising though that the dark bitch turned out to be an ally of Hashiman glad she got killed quickly.
Lol Im still irritated to call Kirio a boy he looks like a girl to me but nevertheless he is a whiny bitch that shouldve died along with this strange boogieman.
I still have to laugh about Tora always being so tsun tsun with Ushio :D :D :D

I didn’t do it on purpose but I’m glad I waited for a week before watching 22 and 23, seeing the situation get resolved was so epic because of Ushio and the spear. Kirio is just pathetic tbh and hopefully it’ll be a very long time before I see him again or better yet I don’t mind never seeing him again.
