They're really pushing responsibility to Kousetsu ....

They should be much more worried about the present given that there's also another threat and war seems inevitable.. I feel like these latest episode is setting up for a big finale arc. Really hope she learned a lot from this experience. I hope Ittoki can also be a capable leader.

Poor Ittoki... He has to make a decision as the new leader.
Suzaku is driven by his hatred for Iga. He ignores his father and chooses to fight.
Housen...

Oh wow the blonde girl deserves a proper beating , her snitching caused a lot of damage and I hope she gets what she deserves for that . Also now that red haired guys father died I hope he’s going to switch sides and die in the end too .

Also will ittoki be finally useful in the next episode ?

Well I thought it was going smoothly last time. but that isn't exactly the case.
How is koga going to get out of this situation clean? are they so stupid that they would lose military power after openly attacking and even defend against the other clans and ainn or whatever after the invasion??
Next is MC, he should have excommunicate the two before letting them go, He could have held back one of them but no one would imagine koga being reckless enough to invade so I won't hold him accountable for sending both his top fighters.
3rd is how stupid are kousetsu and the god ninja or whatever to barge in with a full frontal attack, I mean the god ninja guy was sneaking around like a ninja when he took evidence of koga, but decided to infiltrate a rescue and hostage mission by bust through the front gate and exiting the same.
and finally 4th with the amount of tech the first line of defence may have been decent even though if koga went off road the it doesn't even count. No one in the village is in ninja core suits, does the village have only elderly and middle age people, no 20-30 year old fighters even if not at elite level??
Lots of loopholes. will see how it proceeds now that I have invested so much time in it.

I give it 6/10.

So...
Yumika accepted Kousetsu into the family/clan. As a result Kousetsu is totally obsessed with her. She will do everything for her.
Ittoki (as a kid) accepted Kousetsu into the family/clan. As a result Kousetsu is total bitch to him. Nice.

I guess Kousetseu is jelous because mommy loves her son more. She protects Ittotki because Yumika told her, she wants mommy praise.
Helping Ittoki to become skilful ninja? Nah, that's not an option.

I think attacking clan leader is far more serious crime. What was Kousetsu punishment for doing that? Oh right, nothing. Blonde girl is not even member of clan.

Slightly worse than last week. It still baffles me that they allowed 2 complete strangers into the heart of the village, but also allowed them to see pretty much everything that they have. I'm hoping that Kirei and Kousetsu will eventually get what's coming to them (leaking information that endangers everyone and pulling a knife in the acting chief because she got impatient and expects bro to have the answer to everything despite his inexperience), but I'm sure it won't happen given Ittoki's character. At most, it'll be a small slap on the wrist. Finally, I hope Ittoki gets some development in these last few episdoes because so far he hasn't shown anything worthwhile.

The Koga clan are really out for blood, and whatever ways they can do that, such is the case of Asura mechs. Even the NSC has rats from within, and Shione hurriedly being made as Captain under Karajishi's order is definitely fishy, as is the imprisoned Yumika withholding Iga's secret Ninja Core away from people like Koga's acting chief Kidou Minobe misusing the technology. Tokisada being the bearer of bad news with Yumika's sentencing, and Iga trying their best to minimize the damage as possible, it's better to leave the rebels who are closer than blood like him and Kousetsu to handle the rescue job. Ittoki's decision now is just as important now since both Koga and the NSC are working together in cahoots, leaving Iga to their own devices.

With all things in place, Koga is in a position ready to attack Iga anytime, but as Ban's father Housen tries his best to persuade Kidou, knowing his temperament, they would go for a full-scale infiltration instead, which means war. Ittoki may have felt like a slap in the face having to pick up where his mother have left, but he has no choice but to let Tokisada and Kousetsu save Yumika while defenses stay where they belong.

It is what it is, a mediocre show gone worse.

This was actually the best episode in my opinion. It was pretty obvious koga was just looking for reasons to go to war with iga but damn I wasn’t expecting the acting chief to kill his top advisor like that. Especially after just using his son to get info lmao.

Wait so Koga's chief is also not a ninja, and I find funny how he had gray hair even when he was younger.

And I thought Kirei had quit being a spy, so idk what happened.

Also, why were those disguises needed? Like they didn't even use it to fool anyone...

So that guy actually died from that gunshot, lol what is even happening now...

The blonde gave too much information, causing the death of many people and the Iga family losing a lot. I don't think there is going back.
And the redhead of the Koga will find out about the murder of his father? It would be the last straw if they blame the Iga hahaha again.
And the other clans that don't appear? After the constant takeover of the Koga clan by illicit means, the replacement of the captain of that much acclaimed "neutral" organization, the consequent release of the head of the Koga clan and the sentencing of the head of the Iga clan, it is obvious that everything is part of the Koga clan's plan and that they should intervene and join the Iga to remove the corruption from the "neutral" organization and stop the Koga's plan, if they don't want to be next.

and Kousetsu is annoying af... does she not know that Ittoki is also yumika's only son? and threating him like that even Ittoki is the new leader of Iga Clan.. disrespectful b*tch of her to do so.

I hope Ittoki gets good development next week's episode

Finally, Iga clan makes their move to save their chief. Way to go Kousetsu!

And Koga also made their move as well. That is to start a war with Iga clan and destroy their village. A bunch of savages.

Let the fight commence.

The action picks up, one of the better episodes in my opinion. While Kousetsu did hold an knife at Ittoki's throat I never thought she'd kill him but it was a little too much regardless.

With Yumika rescued I think they'll use a smoke bomb or something to escape, and with Suzaku's father killed Suzaku may switch sides which may also affect Kirei. Kirei may end up confessing what she did but lives have already been lost so not sure if she'll be forgiven.

I don't think I hate a character more in any anime than I do Kousetsu. I wish she would leave the clan entirely or something happen to her to where she's no longer relevant because every time she comes up on my screen I just wanna toss it in the trash with her stupid ass on it. I thought I hated Bitch from Shield Hero a ton but good lord I CAN NOT STAND this girl Kousetsu....anyways, decent episode, from the preview it looks like next week might be the best episode of the season so far.

Every new episode I feel like Kousetsu is a big waste on a character potential. It can be seen how much they wanted her to be a popular character but absolutely nothing interesting happens with her. Even if she steals the show in the last episodes (at this point I highly doubt it) I don't think it will be enough to compensate the first 8 episodes. What a shame.

the war was unevitable. koga would have done it no matter what. i wonder who really is responsible for kishinmaru's murder.

at this point it's no brainer that ittoki will save everyones asses at the end. if he doesn't what's his use being the mc? he will probably get the secret core and become insanely OP or something.

tokisada and kousetsu's acting was great lol.

The end of an era. Thank you Wit, Mappa and Isayama.

so everyone expects the blonde is the spy and yes I know she was at first. but remember she did lie to the red head kid earlier and in a previous episode the mom and uncle had a convo about I believe there was a spy in the Iga village before blonde girl even got there.
I think The real spy is purple haired glasses girl, remember her husband's in the hospital with some disease or injury or whatever I bet the Koga got to her saying the ninja core can cure him and turned her.


ps this show sucks balls hope everyone dies!

I liked this episode. More specifically, I liked the basic premise of this episode. Ittoki finally shows some cojones by ordering the non-lethal rescue of his mother while the Iga village prepares for a huge battle. Tokisada and Kousetsu acting like badasses is the adrenaline rush Shinobi no Ittoki needs.

That said, this episode isn't without its flaws. Kousetsu and Kidou's backstories come into the limelight way too deep into the show's run. It's like the show desperately wants me to sympathize with these two long after their introductions. Unfortunately, it takes more than just a sappy backstory and daddy issues to make a character sympathetic. Their backstories should have been told in full episodes, not just flashbacks.

At the end of the day, this episode is a microcosm of Shinobi no Ittoki as a whole: it's not trying to be great. Just good enough.

Huh Kidou senshuu finally showed his true color after taking control shit in left and right. One pacifist naive Koga member easily been shot by him. But his naive son still out there fighting a useless war without knowing the truth behind it. Now when everything goes wild, i wish this to stay stakes even if its hold a little bit of tense, till the end. Because that's the only redeeming thing that happens in Shinobi no Ittoki. That's all.

Kirei is the main problem for the Iga, but is ironically the only one they're unaware of. She's been shown all the Iga secrets because they believe she's just some trusted friend of Ittoki's, and she is severely handicapping them as a consequence.

What's with the random backstories for the antagonists in this anime anyway? It doesn't excuse them, and they never get brought up again anyway. It's a bit of a hamfisted attempt at fleshing out these otherwise unidimensional, shallow characters.
