Ashlyne said: I never know the duel between Reiko and the youkai can be as simple as Rock-paper-scissors. In the only other episode where we see Reiko 'defeating' a youkai, I'm certain it didn't involve anything more than a hit on the head. The first season, I think, involving that lonely ayakashi - uhm... *checks* Hishigaki. I do wonder how she defeated the stronger ayakashi like Misuzu. I mean, obviously they wouldn't just accept a rock-paper-scissors match. |
| Perfect as always. |
 In every age, in every place, the deeds of men remain the same. |
| It's always nice to see more Reiko. I really do want to learn more about her. Next episode looks different than the usual episodes. Dude looks like a douche though. |
| I've said this many times but Reiko's backstory is just awesome. Janken Pon for duel was lulzy. And am I the only one here sensed Mononoke vibes when the village appeared?? :D Also, Nyanko-sensei's being playful with green-something stalk is always amusing as ever. xD |
| Taaaaaaaaanuma, I missed you so much in the 2nd season! ;-; |
| Dudeeee that snapping iron ring thing was so awesome! |
 |
| Well, it was a good episode, but I hope the series get even better. |
| That village looks really beautiful. I'm glad the poor youkai finally found his home. It must have been sad losing his sister in a foreign land. |
| lol @ the BL atmosphere xD Another good episode from Natsume. 4/5 Sent with Mal Updater |
| An OK episode. Nyanko-sensei's "What a wimp" was funny every time. Tanuma's relationship with Natsume is somewhat disturbing for me(>.<). I like how we get more focus on Reiko now. |
  |
| I like Reiko more and more! Awesome episode, hopefully it'll continue to be that great! I'm really addicted to this series now xD |
| Loved the Jan Ken "battle" lol, didn't realize she got names that way ;) |

| Fantastic. I'm starting to understand Reiko better. I'm so curious about how she became a mother. |
| I definitely have superpowers. I can feel it in my balls. |

| Jan Ken Pon! That hurt. Jan Ken Pon! That hurt. Jan Ken Pon! That hurt. Lol :p |

XD The youkai was really cute (personality wise), I really sympathized with him. He's a good guy, but he doesn't want his miasma to hurt other youkai ;_; plus he looks scary. I also really enjoyed watching Natsume and Tanuma ^^ they're really good friends. |
| I could hear all the fan girls going crazy at that brofist between Natsume and Tanuma haha. |
 |
| Misuzu and Madara were my favorite Youkai, but Kanawa is now part of that list. LOL c: He was a boss using those rusted gears on his arms, and not affected by that katana by much lol c; and aww, it was an emotional episde. ; u ; |
 |
| that youkai had lost his sister :'( and poor Reiko, sitting alone inside abandoned building without any friends. What a miserable life.. I hope her death wasn't because of betrayal or something heartbreaking. |
My DeviantArt and Pixiv and still waiting patiently for a 3rd season of Spice & Wolf :'| |
| Another great episode. Brains Base did a very good job with the series. |

| Another quite interesting episode! Let's see what's next! |
 |
| Buta-neko lol. Really good episode. I love this season so far. |
| that arc was really good |
ANIME LIST
PROFILE
MUSIC
| Interestingly enough even this episode, can be deceiving, and who appeared as a gentle soul spectrum, was anything, same thing for the youkai protagonist of this story. Excellent soundtrack, ditto for Nyanko-sensei. ;) |
 |
| The animation and art this season seems to have gone up a notch. :) |
| I would've never guessed that this was a filler episode until someone mentioned it in one of the comments. That was top notch and felt just as good as the normal episodes :) It's a shame yokai's sister died but at least he was able to return home. Ironically, this was thanks to the evil yokai stabbing him xD |
 |
| Natsume and Tanuma each encounter a youkai trying to return to the mystical Ukiharu Village. With two separate fist bump bro scenes between them this was clearly setup as a Natsume/Tanuma episode. Unfortunate then that Tanuma barely did anything and felt like an afterthought. The evil youkai Natsume encountered got a swift and well deserved end, turning into a branch. The other's Reiko flashback was cute with them playing rock, paper, scissors. I'm glad he made it back home. :) |
| That village looked awesome. |
 |
| Great episode gave me lots of warm feelings. |
| Was feeling depressed but after watching a episode I feel better. Reiko really was a kind person. The Jan Ken part was hilarious. Hope Natsume and Tanuna become closer friends. The village was a sight to see, a shame Reiko couldn’t see it. |
 |
| I honestly almost forgot Tanuma I guess it’s been a while since Natsume and Tanuma last talked to each other |
| Good episode with a nice plot twist. |
| Nice episode. That Ukihara village looked really cool. |

| I didn't realise how much I missed Tanuma calling Nyanko-sensei "Ponta", haha. I love Misuzu, he's the real MVP as Madara is useless yet again. |
|
| Murasaki's story was very emotional. Love so much what this anime can tell. |
