Somehow, Hyouma once again finds himself at the edge of a fight. Then again, the opponents he has faced so far in the show aren't really pushovers.

It also appears the show is hiding more secrets. That Koyori guy seems like bad news, and Hyouma better be ready if he ever encounters him again.

Oh I thought one of the big three would be an evil villain, but he's neutral, at least for now.

All these Tsukomogamis are bad, especially the ones in the black suits - I really don't like them, they give off bad vibes...Hope they all get wiped.

Getting introduced to one of the big 3 was cool. Dude just commands respect. He kinda gave off geto vibes when I saw him in the OP but looks like he’s more of a neutral figure. Hopefully we get to see the rest of them soon. Ep was pretty, some more world building, a decent fight and some hints about Botan’s backstory.

Looks like Hyoma really jumped the gun this time. The meeting with Kai sure had an interesting start to it. One of Kyoto's three great sprits huh. Quite the condition that he was saddled with though. Guess saying No is not allowed when Kai askes for something. The insight into Botan though was a curious one. Never did i think that she would be such an important key. Seeing Yuu as a Tsun though is damm amusing. Still her arrival was damm timely. Overall an interesting ep that really raised the tension within the narrative by intrducing not only new characters but also the fact that Hyoma's arrival at Botan's home might end up becoming the catalyst for a power struggle of epic proportions to start.

I think they were dragging scenes for way too long in this episode. Basically two things happened and it took the whole 20 minutes. Hopefully it picks ups, because it was pretty annoying to watch.

I wonder what Botan is the vessel of that makes both spirits and humans covet her so? The plot thickens

I've noticed that all the tsukumogami have golden/yellow eyes, at least the ones that do have eyes, so I'm curious if there's any meaning as to why Kai has black eyes.

Kushige and Haori, together with Hyoma's grandfather Zohei, meets the Big 3 of Kyoto's Great Tsukumogami: Suit of Armour Kai and young girl Itsuki, to talk about Hyoma and the Nagatsuki family. The fact that the bonding of a 3rd party with the Nagatsuki family will bring calamity, and Hyoma is at the center of the controversy while planting his tailsmans all around the place.

As expected, Hyoma gets targeted, with infodump thrown at him, and it took Yu to locate him being interrogated by the War Fan Aogi and 12-Layered Robe Uchiki. The secrecy of the Nagatsuki household is still at large.

Legit surprised at how invested I am with this anime. From an ok first episode to becoming an anime I look forward to watching every week is a huge leap for any anime for me!!

Really interesting and been loving it so far.

Same here, bro. I think we have to accept that it's a show with little to offer. Dropping.

I'll be honest about that I don't think I fully understand what's going on here except that either Botan or an item in her possession is powerful and that Aogi and the big guy were making sure that Hyouma did not have ulterior motives regarding that item which he (and I) have no clue what they're talking about. Looks like next episode may be focused on Botan so I'm thinking we'll get some answers.

Hyoma trying his best to protect Botan after last episode's attack, by placing talismans all over the place, but that's a bad idea

granps together with the 2 oldest looking youkais are going on a mission to talk with this big 3 guy, Kai, who likes to welcome his guests with a surprise attack lol some don't like it and it turns into an actual fight
and there's a little girl with him, the one who made the barrier they are in, Itsuki

when he calls people over, they have to stay with him for a long time, otherwise he migh die of boredom

lol the 3 are already getting drunk, this is going to be a bad trip
they talked about Botan being benificial for both sides, and with Hyoma being sent to her home, the youkais took it as an offense and tried to capture her

one of the talismans that Hyoma placed has been used, and the 2 youkais appeared behind him, is it time for a fight?

Yuu found one of the other talismans, while Kagami can't get close to the one they want to remove LOL look at them getting tingles

the 3 fell asleep from the alchool, but Haori was still listening to Kai talking

Hyoma telling the 2 guys that he is from the government, and it worked for a bit... enough time to seal one of the enemies
when going for the 2nd one, he missed his punch, the enemy had some kind of folding trick
the 1st one also didn't get sealed, he is back, now, Hyoma is in danger

Yuu thinking about what to tell him in the phone call, cute lols
but she noticed there was that burnt talisman, something is not right

after some talking, where the guys tried to bully Hyoma into telling them about his moties to join Botan's house, Hyoma lost his patience and finally got his weapon out, but before that, Yuu is here to stop the misunderstandings

they managed to stop the fight, it seems like these 2 are part of a special group, probably similar to the 6 Botan family members, and so it's better to not fight
someone is peeping at them, it looks like Itsuki, but i could be wrong

Hyoma still thinking about the fight and how he could easily beat them, he is crazy lol
now that the idiot told him about Botan, he is even more interested, even tho that's not his problem

next episode, Botan doesn't look amused lol also, is that blonde girl... Haori? wtf is that hairstyle? :D

Loved this episode!

We got to meet Kai and Itsuki, and it looks like someone is looking into what the Kunato could be after with them joining the Nagatsuki.

I also have to say that Hyouma has been really growing on me these past few episodes. I felt kinda of indifferent towards him as an MC but I definitely like him more now than I did at the start. Same goes for the art style! I thought it looked off at first but it's also been growing on me lately, but I can understand why some people may not like it.

Also Kagami was adorable as always lol

So there's something that makes Botan so special and why she's the center of their attention.

Kunato looks powerful... I look forward for Hyoma vs Kunato, two broken characters. His subordinates already looks like a pain in the ass
