| Nice episode, for some reason I am starting to think that everybody in the island is going to die, that would be incredible though, 7.3/10. |
| Tenza was a real one but seriously, what's the point of building up a character for an entire episode if he's gonna get killed off immediately after? So far, lots of wasted potential in terms of promising characters. |
| Nurugai's screams as Shion was running away with her punched me right in the gut. Tenza went out like the ultimate hero. Respect! |
 "Are you intoxicated, or just insane?" |
| did the animation suddenly take a dip this episode or is it just me |
  beep! MAL's Little Raccoon #2 made by hearingnote matching w/ sekai- |
This episode finally made me cry. Tenza character development and relationship with his master was sooooo touching. I wish the end of the episode happened differently 😭 (why so hot??) |
| Again with this anime. It's so unusal to have this backstory for a character we don't even know in the present time and then just have them die. They haven't even interacted with our main gang. I suppose there will be (or better be) some payoff with the sensei and the little girl growing as characters/joining our main gang at some point. |
| I couldn't throw hands like that if I was bleeding to death. |
 |
| This episode was simply kino. Brilliant adaptation of the source material, enriched with additional anime original scenes dedicated to Tenza's past. Tenza as a character deserved such episode. He was a good man. Shion has taught him well. |
| Oh damn, Tenza died. At least Nurugai got away unharmed well for now at least. |

| omg so many feels this ep! sometimes, escape is also a strategy but man! no hope for Tenza on this one... 4/5. |
 |
| Tenza was given a second chance in life to have a better future... but in the end the man chose that "better future" by protecting the people who gave him that chance. I can't help but feel sad when he imagines that the real better future should be when he becomes a Sensei too and then marries Nurugai. |
 |
| I knew this was coming (since you can see his death in the op) but still got attached when the episode with him and Nurugai came out. I couldn't wait to see more of them, though I was hoping he'd last a bit longer. Seeing his background and relationship with Shion was nice, though I prefer it when writers sprinkle bits throughout rather than placing them directly in the episode they die. This tends to be the flaw of stories with many character deaths like battle royales, tournaments, horror, and such, especially when they mostly focus on the main cast. But it's one I don't mind too much. And I was still effectively attached to Tenza. Rip. Hoping Shion and Nurugai can stay alive just a little longer after his sacrifice. |

| What an awesome episode... they some how managed to tell a emotional back story within 25mins... 5/5 |

Spirelord said: This is something I have to unfortunately agree with. The fight scenes seem off and slow. At first I could put into perspective what made it feel that way, but it is this. It seems that the fight choreographers and storyboarders are lacking imagination. The clear intent of that scene where Tenza first flurry-cuts the Immortal Sage's arms and head off was for all the swings to occur in the time the Sage shifted his gaze from Tenza's face to his blade's movement. In other words, Tenza swung so fast that he made three slashes while the Sage only barely could perceive what was going on with his eyes. That certainly was the mangaka's intent, going from the flow of the scene we just watched. But the impact of that scene was so awfully dulled with the literal panel-for-panel recreation of the scene in the anime. It looks like Tenza just calmly steps forward and pauses in between swings with no sense of the urgency or speed that he just boasted about in his thoughts. The outcome makes it look like the Sage is beyond slow with his reflexes and Tenza looks nowhere near as fast as he must be in order to cut down one of these immortals. That scene above all the others in this episode drastically needs to be re-animated to be tighter and accurately convey what is going on. It is on par with the way the anime adapted the Giant vs. Gabimaru & Sagiri fight, where it looked like they recreated the manga panel-for-panel, making the fight seem slow and full of expository chats while everyone, including the Giant, just stood in place without moving at all, when in reality this ninja and swordswoman were darting to and fro while dodging an angry Giant's swings. I have a bad feeling that future fights in this series, except perhaps a couple big-budget ones that have story implications for the main characters, will play out in a similar manner. It's such a shame given that the source material deserves more respect in how it's adapted. I haven't even read the manga at all and I can perceive these problems. Good art, framing, and stills will not cover up the need for fluid action scenes that convey the physical reality of these superhuman fights. |

| What an emotional episode. RIP Tenza |
| Damn, for a minute I thought Shion would die and Tenza and Nurugai would escape to live another day.... I hope that Nurugai survives the island somehow. This episode showed how brutal and immortal those beings are, and they learn quick as was shown. I'm thinking maybe fire could permanently destroy them but I doubt it would be that easy. Curious how the remaining humans on the island survive although I think there will be more deaths. |
| The student died before the master... Rip Tenza. These monsters are OP |
 |
| I enjoyed the episode. But, as others have said, it seems a poor use of runtime to have these long flashbacks of characters we barely know, just for them to die. |
adi_exe said: Bro, this anime confuses the shi out of me. Not the plot tho, the characters, why do they keep introducing new characters, give them an entire episode with backstory and all then proceed to get them killed in the same episode. I can't be the only one thinking about this.. Literally. At the end of the episode I just couldn’t bring myself to give a damn |
| Really don’t know the point of this episode. His character hasn’t been relevant to the plot at all. Then we get the backstory and then he dies??? Also what brought about the marriage vision even?? He literally got to know a while back that the kid was a girl and that was apparently good enough for him to fall in love. |
| Jesus… I was dreading this episode. I really love Tenza and he deserved better 😭 Poor Nurugai too; she had to watch someone she cares about die again after watching all of her people slaughtered in the past. I feel like there’s another message here though; Tenza couldn’t land a hit on the Tensen when he was sticking to the samurai code but could when he fought his own way. Maybe a message about the way of the samurai not always being the right way? |
 |
| yall really weird feeling sad that his imagination of marrying that little girl wouldn't be true cuz he's dead. i felt sorry for the kid he was, that kid deserved a life where he can truly enjoy living, and see the world with a different view.. |
