Another very thrilling episode!

We got Asirpa captured but she's not easy to give up. Sugimoto had to deal with her own problems as well. The episode made great usage of the environmental setting imo. We still got delicious food as usual too!

Asripa's reactions never ceases to amuse me lul


I like the way Toshizou is protrayed in this show/episode. Such an intimidating badass.

by the way i think it's time to stop referring sugimoto group as "good guy" and tsurumi/hijikata group as "bad guy"
there's no hero or villain on this series, only people on different sides
and it's already confirmed by the author on one of his interview

Another amazing, thrilling episode! The hunter died, but he died doing what he loved. It's nice that Retar has a family. Shiraishi being chased by that huge guy was funny. Nothing couldn't stop him!

First segment was pretty intense,R.I.P. Nihei. You were a likeable guy.

Glad that we got to learn more about Tsurumis backround and apparently the treasure is way bigger than expected.

And lol,the chase was hilarious,Ushiyama can't be stopped. Hope we get to see a big clash between the 7th division and Hijikatas party.

This episode had thrilling moments and the death of the hunter. Damn, the wolves were cool this episode. It is nice that they have a family now.

Asirpa being funny again with those face expressions, I can't get enough of that. More information about Tsurumi's goals. He really does everything to reach it, scary man.

Shiraishi is in troubles, damn that huge guy is intimidating. Nice cliffhanger.

And so the hunt for Retar ends with him being saved by his woman, fitting. XD But the most exciting part was definitely the end with Ushiyama chasing down Shiraishi. I was getting King Bradley vibes, just buffer, from how unstoppable he was. Or maybe one of the Terminators. And of course gotta love the return of the osoma runner. XD

So If i recall correctly, the tattoo's we (anime-only viewers) know about are:

- guy in the first episode (killed by Sugimoto)
- guy who was trapped by Sugimoto and Asirpa but got shot in the head (no idea who has his skin)
- Hunter Nihei (now obtained by Sugimoto)
- Ushiyama (blockhead) (alive)
- Hijikata (alive)

Did I miss someone? So Sugimoto got 2 skins so far?

So, this episode adapted chapters 28-31 and chapter 33. 5 chapters adapted again, but chapter 32 was skipped. Luckily, chapter 32 was just an irrelevant side story that felt more like a bonus chapter than anything. But it was funny, so hopefully it becomes an OVA someday.

Other than that, another awesome episode. Next episode should be mostly crazy (again).

Yeah, you missed Shiraishi. He has tattoo. And the second guy's skin is also owned by Sugimoto, so he got 4 of them.
And there is one more skin, Tsurumi is wearing it.

Nihei wasn’t around for very long but I’m gonna miss him. The ending scene with that chase was pretty intense (yet simultaneously somewhat comical), Ushiyama is unstoppable.

If Sugimoto's motive to look for gold was good enough, this anime would be perfect. I do not know the value of the gold involved but I think 5 "kans" of gold would be enough for him. I know this is seinen anime but I don't like my MC to do meaningless killing for the sake of a gold he will not be able to spend. Fortunately, he did not murder many people.
To summarize, right now there are 3 parties looking for the gold. But I believe there is a 4th party (Nopperabou's friends) which will be involved soon.

I am so glad Retar survived, I don't know how I would've taken it if he had died. That said, I liked Nihei too and it's a little sad to see him go as well. He was a cool dude. Why can't we all be friends? :(

This Ushiyama dude is like some unblockable raging bull, watching him run makes me laugh. xD

Nihei might've been the enemy to Sugimoto's group, but he was really likeable. He died doing the thing he loved the most, hunting. That's another character that I'll miss from this show.

Asirpa his now hooked on miso, and her way of "asking" some miso from Sugimoto was hilarious. Not only her facial expressions, but also Sugimoto's expression too! XD

Shiraishi is now in a pinch by being chased by the raging human bull, Ushiyama. Not even a ton of snow can stop him and even a horse gets easily flipped upside down like it was just a twig. Thanks to the cliffhanger, we'll have to wait to see if he can survive four rifle guns pointing at him from the 7th division.

Well, despite only making an appearance in a flashback, Tsurumi still managed to appear exceedingly capable. His goal of establishing a military dictatorship and enacting revenge on those who put his troops through hardships is definitely an intriguing one. 7th Division still have not got their work cut out for them, not with all the other parties involved in the endeavour.

Thank god Retar was safe! And good thing he has a family for them to keep reproducing! Retar's race is not anymore extinct!
Nihei was put down by the assisting wolves! well he deserved it! poor dog, the dog needs to find a new owner!
Now this was very fun! Shiraishi is being hot pursuit by a raging bull Ushiyama!
Damn cliffhanger!

I’m glad Retar has his own family. I thought that he suffered a bullet wound when Tetsuzou shot him. Well, at least they took back Tanigaki and the doge with them. Doge is still alive and that’s all I care about. No, not really. I’m glad Tanigaki is alive too. I liked that he said some final words to Tetsuzou Nihei upon his death.

I’m glad that Aspira helped Tanigaki despite everything he has done. She’s a great person and she’s excellent Anime waifu material.

I had a strong feeling that there was more gold than the prisoners were told about. I’m sure there’s a lot and I have a feeling that maybe even Aspira knows where it is but isn’t telling anyone.

Horny Ushiyama is fucking strong, he runs like a raging bull too. He easily slammed a horse and carriage with one hand. lol Poor Shiraishi but he was clever towards the end.

The end of the hunter soul kinda, tragic. Idk why but i actually felt sad by the loss of him. Maybe because of his high obsession or dilemma i got as a human too? Idk. Its really complicated, as the title of these episode. Everything had their own pride, nothing wrong it. Its just led, into his own fate. The death by the cheating wolf. Ah, yeah, Retar had its own family, and fortunately for it, the others wolf saved it at the last critical point. The hunter died, but surely he got his own satisfaction. The end of the hunter arc. Lets continued!

The village momentary, surely brought back some comedy gold again. I just can't stop laughing with what happened on their dinner time. Their comical expression while chilling, a nonstop usage of 'shit' Asirpa always mentioned to that Miso seasoning, the King of Escape that always got biten in his head, and, finally a serious story, related to the gold of Ainu! And the story just made me curious how big the treasures of the gold was?

Ah, about that 'captain' phrase i've used, for that crazy leader of seventh division, actually had a bad experience too with his war zone. Actually, his rank was still a Lieutenant eh? Forgive my mistake, there! So, i must slowly remember him as one of the crazy insane leader shit from the military forces that was assigned to be Sugimoto burden to get a bunch of gold in the future. Bside the other two old man that was supposed to be Sugimoto's another burden, he really had a massive connection back at that soldier story.

Damn, its really complicated. But surely gave me more intrigueing feel as its result. However, whatever happened to his bad experience in the war, Sugimoto felt a bad experience more than him. Because he was a leader back than, and Sugimoto just a soldier only in rank scheme. Ofc Sugimoto's sufferred far greater than him, as he just a complete madness after getting dumped by their friends at the military HQ. Come to your senses, Sugimoto!

However, Sugimoto's promises to keep protecting Asirpa away from that soldier they captured just too sweet. Ofc he won't let such a bad thing like before happened again! Okay, now lets move on. Because the plot already began to met them with one of the other prisoners. That big-ass guy, met the King of Escape? Should he found a way to escaping again? Lets see the next one to avoided that cliffhanger ass at the end!
