Interesting that they thing inside him had a mind of his own, and if it wasn't a ninja art, how did she destroy it?

Oboro finally did something useful instead of crying all the time.

I didn't really get the flashback? Was that Tenzen as a baby having a perfect memory of what happened to him?

Last episode they will either refuse to fight or kill each other simultaneously.

FINALLY TENZEN IS DEAD FOR GOOD Well I think the only reason why Oboro's Mystic Eye worked on Tenzen is bc she had someone to fight for so it amplified her Doujutsu I could be wrong though it is just a thought.

But awesome episode next episode here I come

I don't understand the flashback. Can anyone explain to me?
But it's important to remember that a movie review is subjective;it only gives you one person's opinion.

It doesn't matter if you like LoGH,Monster etc.If you are a jobless or college/school dropout living in your mom basement, you are still an unintelligent loser. Taste in anime does not make you a better person.If elitist don't exist, casual pleb and shit taste also don't exist.

Tenzen's mother was betrayed and killed by her baby daddy (a Kouga). The "being" inside Tenzen is his mother's spirit.

Thank goodness that jackass is finally dead. Disturbing scenes though. *shiver*

They try to humanize Tenzen at the end but it's a little too late for that now. Adios dude.

I doubt Oboro and Gennosuke will actually kill each other; if they do, then they'll both die. My prediction from the last episode was wrong. New one: they kill each other at the same time, they both commit suicide simultaneously, or they refuse to fight. Finale here I come.

Tenzen is stupid, though something tells me that he semi-consciously wanted to die hence why he told people that he could be killed by decapitation and burning. Although whether that's true, we will never know. So screwed in the head, that he puts centuries of experience to waste by doing foolhardy things for pleasure.

It's amazing how the Iga had failed to annihilate the Koga. All they had to do was double up against every lured member with Tenzen being the sacrificed bait to lure out the opponent's abilities, tire them out as well as fooling the enemy to let their guard down. The second member then comes out and performs the killing blow. Even Gennosuke can be put down using this method.

With such a near invincible fool-proof strategy, they can take their time and minimise their losses. If the remaining ninja decided to stick together, that's when they overwhelm them with numbers and better yet if Obura was compliant, they would have no abilities to defend themselves with.

Flashback made no sense.

I'm also a little confused on what Oboro did exactly to blow Tenzen's head off (was still pretty cool to see). Literally a few minutes before it happened her grandmother said it only works on ninpou while stating Tenzen's immortality isn't ninpou...

that "thing" inside of Tenzen is his twin sibling as stated of Ogen in the chapter 33.

So the flashback in anime is Tenzen's mother is an Iga and his father is an Kouga who betrayed them.

Gennosuke finally decides to do something, and kills Tenzen in the very first fight afterwards, despite being blinded. If he wasn't such a pacifist before, then this conflict could've been dealt with in the first few episodes, especially since he had access to Dojutsu. Even Oboro finally decided to be useful, and she put an end to "Tenzen's" (or the creature parasitising him) fifth attempted resurrection. I do, however, wonder how it worked if the symbiote isn't ninpou.

Is Kagero dead? If so, maybe the needles were poisoned.
