| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- So because he left and/or forgot his home a landslide occurred? Even though he forgot his family for so long, hard to think he deserved that. Just like xxxHolic though, a little something goes a long way and then next thing you know your punished. |

| Rather sad what happened to the guy, but he kind of deserved it (from my point of view). Ginko is a sneaky bastard, selling a fake xD |
| I think it was probably the mushi in the area. |

Since that kind of painting can be reproduced by using the same ingredients. The robe made from the materials of the mountain and the paint that has Usobana (Mushi) on it. So, it can be reproduced again. But, I'm a little confused at this story. It looks like the episode is not complete again. Like the proper ending is missing. LOL! Also, got confused in the explanation on how does the smoke happens in the robe. Argh! Gonna watch this series again for the 2nd time. ^__^ |

| ginki sold a fake to the teacher dude. that was so funny. was a little confused by the effect the mushi had on the robe and how it connected to the landslide? |
| "yo, betsu ni ayashii mono ja" (I'm not anyone suspicious)--->LOL, you just appeared from inside the ground..... the landslide was an an accident and has nothing to do with the mushi. The mushi (Ubusuna) is a local mushi that is like dirt. It is absorbed in all things living in the local area, like a nutrient. The artist's nephew is suffering from Ubusuna deficiency and becomes mentally retarded. Now that the haori is back, all lot of Ubusuna just came back and his nephew will grow as normal... Seeing Ginko tricking the Teacher is just too amusing. |

 |
| haha so funny to see Ginko randomly appear out of the ground |
     |
| Some awesome Ginko moments in this one, randomly showing up out of the ground and selling a fake coat to Sensei. Also, a very sad story that ends happily. Great stuff all around. |

| Ginko was lol this episode XD |
 |
| YAY! Finally getting back into watching this series! >< This episode was kind of sad cause I mean.... his dad and sis died. T__T But it seemed to end up pretty happily since he got her child and he could draw again and the villagers started lieking him again. =O |
     Sig WILL change soon~ |
| Nice ending after all =) As Ginko appears, my first thouht was a mud-mushi-thingy xp but NO it's just Ginko lol xp ... Never thought Ginko would sell a fake (on the other hand... it's not the first time Ginko break some rules...lol) Adashino will never see the smoke on the painting ._. (that's why Ginko gave so low information about the fake..lol) |
| I really expected this to be a two-parter, since they decided to skip the OP... |

Seeing Ginko tricking the Teacher is just too amusing. I think the landslide might have not been an accident, but was cause by the coat being taken away. Ginko said the Ubusuna attached itself to things that are from that mountain area and since the coat was made with matierials found in the area, it attracted many Ubusuna. With the Ubusuna leaving the area, it might've caused the soil to weaken thus causing a landslide. I disagree that it was Kai's fault or he deserved it, because he doesn't know about it. |
| "I'm not anyone suspicious" tehehe I don't think it was Kai's fault, he obviously didn't know. He should have thought more about his family though and read the letters, so he could have returned sooner to bid them farewell. It was kind of confusing but nice none the less <3 |
 |
| Awesome!!! Best episode so far |
     |
| I forgot how Ginko can be hilarious at times XD |
| I thought this episode was not very good. It was kind of boring to me :/ |
 |
| Awesome episode. It felt like a long movie even though it was so short. (Although technically all episodes feel like long movies when it comes to Mushishi.) |
 |
| Nobody suspicious... hahaha xD |
  |
| i don't know guys...the ending seems happy to me :) sure everyone died in the landslide but e has the kid,and he didn't look sad to me at all...he was sadder when his family was alive and he was playing the crazy genius type... overall,i did not like the 1st part of this episode but the 2nd part was awesome,it's a great episode :) 5/5 |

| Such junk... |
Traveller said: I forgot how Ginko can be hilarious at times XD Haha yeah. Not a very mushi filled episode but left me smiling at the end nonetheless. Mushishi manages to make the most simplest of the episodes so so captivating. |
 |
| Hmm.. still wondering why they decided to skip the OP. I like this one (hey, all my comments go along this line ._. ) And yes, it simply sucks that when small things go wrong, a big chunk of your life pays for it. Just glad this episode has more hopeful tunes in it. And I personally love the scene where Ginko was absorbed into the ground more than when he was showing up lol |
| Nice ep. It amazes me how unique and different each episode is. I hope they keep it up till the end! |

Watch it again. He says the mushi attached to it BECAUSE a land slide happened, and it was looking for something that smelled like its home, which turns out to be the kimono. The landslide was an accident, but because of it, the mushi needed a new home. |
| lol Ginko was so funny in this episode. This was another nice one, though I honestly thought the first half was a little boring. fiane said: Probably just to leave room for the whole story. I always skip the OP anyway so it saved me the trouble~Hmm.. still wondering why they decided to skip the OP. |

| Quite enjoyable episode. The story shows how humans become weak when blinded by their lustrous success and tend to forgot where they came from. It was sad but not as tragic as the previous ones. And lol, I can't help but laugh with Ginko. When the muddy man started to form on the ground, I really thought it was a mushi and when Ginko appeared saying, "Hey, I'm not someone suspicious." , I totally LMAO'd. xD And yeah, Ginko selling a fake haori to his collector friend was also funny. :D |
| I liked how mushi were used as the reason for the inspiration of returning to your homeland. Also lol @ Ginko popping out the ground XD |
 |

    |
| Quite the interesting episode (and a little sad too) if I do say so myself. Couple awesome scenes, such as Ginko popping out of the ground and Asashino(?) wanting the kimono jacket really badly. |
| Not much screentime for Ginko |
| Even when I was in crowd, I was always alone |
Kayro said: Ginko is a sneaky bastard, selling a fake xD Bahaha, that was one of my favourite parts of the episode. :D If you think about it, it wasn't really a fake; it just wasn't the first of its kind, right? Anyway, enjoyed the episode as always! Japanese watercolours are so pretty. |
| I also think that if there are so many of Ubusuna in the area, the new haori may work as earlier one ;) But it doesn't change the fact that Ginko turned out to be little greedy XD |

| ginko was trolling the whole episode XD |
 |
| Quite a nice story of a painter! |
 |
| Ginko was hilarious this time, that mud bath lol. |
 |
| Ah Ginko made me laugh appearing from the mud and selling the fake haha |
| Haha, the bit with Ginko selling his doctor pal a fake cracked me up. As did him almost dying in the mud, when he's funny he's hilarious. I don't completely grasp why the landslide occurred, if it was mushi related or just a happenstance, but everything beyond that made sense. Glad that things will go back to some semblance of normal for him and the village now. |
Shinryuken said: ginko was trolling the whole episode XD ... I'm not anything suspicious o-o |
| I looove the doctor! Well even if Ginko had sold the original the mushi were already gone, so both original and copy were mushiless at the end. |
