Yes yes. They're in love. Their love is the hope for the future. We got all this already via previous episodes in the series. More hateful ninja fights please.

Yashamaru and Hotarubi are just too cute.

This episode was so cute, especially mini Oboro and Gennosuke.

It's this kind of episodes that make you hate the meaningless war even more..

I really wish we'd had this episode before. It would have made the deaths of some of these guys all the more meaningful.

The bit with Hair/Stretchy guy trying to scare the hiccups off Oboro was hilarious. And chibi Oboro hanging around Tenzen's hair was cute as hell.

Tenzen confirmed as the only downright evil guy of the lot.

This episode was so adorable Tenzen is an Asshole like massive but everything about this episode was just so cute even her playing with his hair even though Tenzen is a dick in more then just what he tried to do to Oboro but until later I cant say it yet

This. So, so much this. Argh.

This episode was indeed necessary, but it was ill placed. Should've come at least 5 episodes earlier, IMO.

Excellent episode but like others have mentioned, it should have come earlier. Oh well.

Chibi Oboro was just too cute for words. The scene where Nenki and Rosai tried to scare Oboro's hiccups away was hilarious. I like how Hotarubi's pet snake likes to peep, and that made Yashamaru uncomfortable. lmao

Really nice flashback episode. Seeing how Oboro and Gennosuke met was cute and funny. Definitely a nice change of pace from the last few episodes.

This episode also did a really good job of humanizing characters from both sides even more, even hair guy and salt-hater guy, so....

I definitely agree with you two about that.

Next episode looks intense!

This episode makes me sad, the clans could unite like they wanted and have peace but instead we have this pointless bloodshed.

Kind of pointless episode considering that more than half of thoses character are dead, i mean this flashback would have been good if it way earlier in the series, here it just came out of nowhere.

This didn't show anything we couldn't already deduce and showing the now deceased characters again is a bit cruel.

I thought the flashback, tone shift, really seemed out of place. As others have mentioned it would have been much more effective early on in the series. Felt like an OVA.

Tenzen mustn't age at all. This was back when Gennosuke and Oboro were children, and he still looks the same now.

It's a bit strange to look at the scenes with little Oboro and Tenzen, considering what happened in the previous episode xD
