Ha, I can't take the fact that the freak is named Hachiman...*reminds me of another show*. He's still the most disgraceful character imo in this series.

Using poison is such a dirty tactic in fighting tbh. Poor Nico. I expect him to kick some ass next time though.

Liang has a messed up past because of Hachiman. Him and Upa are not strong enough to take down him down. Looks like Nico goes crazy when not taking medicine. Can't wait for him to wreak Hachiman.

Nico has had so much drugs and whatever medicine in him that I'm not surprise he was unaffected by the poison ect.

Looking forward to the next episode to see what Nico can do now that he has transformed into another self.

Are we ever going to see Hachiman without the mask after he's defeated? Either way though, he's quite a solid character.

Qi also gets a bit of backstory, and his connections to both Hachiman and the herbalist dude.

Also though, holy shit that last scene with Nico was really edgy, but pretty damn wicked at the same time. Really like it.

Good episode.

Sad past for everyone, Pig guy just sucks.
Upa can't go full force because he's worried about the others.

Nico awakening was epic.

Pretty intense episode. At this point I'm wondering how the ending will go as a lot of things are still left unexplained. Hopefully they do explain everything by the end of the show.

Wow, I think it's safe to say that Nico scared the shit out of everybody during that last scene.
I think I have my own theory as to why Nico has an alternate personality to begin with. I mean, I think in the first season it was briefly mentioned when Hajime was introducing the 4 that Nico used to be some messed up insane dude who was constantly escaping, captured and experimented on for some reason (maybe smth special about him just like how Musashi had that spontaneous body combustion thing). So it's said that some people create multiple personalities within themselves to escape severe trauma or stress in their life, so that their alternate personality/personalities may receive the pain for the original personality. So it's possible that Nico adopted his alternate personality as a result of the trauma of being experimented on and living like a test subject, and could also be the reason why Nico is so immune to poison. Like those people who maybe were pursuing him in his past kept putting lethal substances in his body until he became immune and eventually broke out of there using his psycho personality.

I really liked the review of how the herbalist came in the prison. Hinchman is just a bad person to Liang and Upa! The last scene was insane and I was like "Will this be the cliff hangar ?" and I was right! Can't wait for crazy Nico!!

"Nailed it." I died.

This episode though-- y'all seein' this?! This anime just continues to draw me in sometimes, I don't even know. And then the thing is in other anime I don't always like it, but Nanbaka's got me.

Enjoy your anime! | Witch Cafe Wisteria

Woohoo now we get to see Nico part 2 😈

For those asking, not sure why, but in an earlier episode they did say that drugs (including poison) have the opposite normal affect on Nico.

I guess it was a bad idea to watch this episode after a month passed of when i watched ep 6. i had to rewatch ep 6 after i already watched ep 7 and then rewatched ep 7 too, cause i didn't understand anything lol. That pig tho is such a gangsta lol, episode about underworld is very nice, we learned more about them, didn't know theye were in underground business. A lot of info in this episode about supporting characters, but it was the info that was well done, i didn't find flaws. i think author TRIED and thinked, thank god, cause the underworld theme is easy to mess up

the medicine's stopped working,
the other guys are terrified of Nico without his medicine,
i foresee the imminent death and destruction of the pig-man, the immediate surroundings, and everything else within a big radius .w.
I like to comment Episodes as i Watch them.

i don't think you can take off other people's talismans and i'm not sure if you're supposed to either. but i don't know enough about that stuff. even though it was nice to see everyone's past, stuffing it all into one kind of felt like it dragged until the last scene obviously. this pig fight has lasted 3 whole episodes now.
