THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
Heh, so this show has logic when it comes to fighting tactics. I just couldn't take it seriously when it was discussed in the bathroom

Not to mention this episode showed those "lewd moments" that Kazuma got himself involved in. I kinda wish they introduced Sumeragi earlier now since there's just one more episode left and I'm starting to like her more.

The duel was ..idk so-so. I wish it was longer.

The fight with Sunao is intense as expected things are looking good.
It a shame next episode will be the last seeing how for the manga is they have lot's of stuff to continue on but that will probably be a long wait or it will never come.

I agree since the manga is so far ahead from the anime and they fitted it in 1 cour .I hope a new season would come though...

So the final episode will conclude the fight with Sunao. The fight itself was ok.

I laughed at the Macho scene. What was Kazuya thinking?

The fight was pretty cool. Looks like it's going to continue in the next episode. Kazuya has learned some new techniques.

Agree again. It would be great season 2 come, all those heavy plots only happen after the fight with Sunao(the season 1).

Very interesting fight, that wasn't too illogical from a strategic standpoint. Loving Kiriha, though still not a big fan of Kazuya. The red headed demon bitch on the other hand can just drop dead.

Hah, this episode was great. However, the comedy was watered down, as expected. I'd definitely be rolling on the floor if it was done exactly as it was drawn and played out.

Kazuya definitely is used to violent women hahaha
Loved how antagonistic they initially portrayed Sunao as. Sadly, since the next one might be the last one, secondaries will practically think of her as the crappiest character in this series.



The initial part of the battle played out great. Epic block there. Genius.

Soon:




We need an OVA for this.

She'll definitely get better when she learns the truth (still is violent, however). Given how certain characters' relevance to the plot (the school-related characters) decreases with each chapter (or episode) (yes, this includes Chisato), that makes the former have better character potential.

But you wouldn't know that, unless you read the source. You've stuck around this long enough. Better go read the source (from the start would be best, as the detail is vastly different).

Same problem with the source, I guess. It's not very popular, but well loved by its audience. In shorter terms, underrated. I am expecting a second season because this ends up like Seirei Tsukai no Blade Dance: covers only the surface, and doesn't tackle the massive plot after this arc. This one, however, is much better executed than the latter.

The fight was intense, as was the lewdness of this episode. Funny how Kazuya interacts with his mom, and her telling him how pervert he is.

I'm actually asking myself why this story (both Manga and Anime) are so underrated. It surely can't be the fan service. And the story makes sense, is funny, and thrilling. It's, for once, not your standard harem ecchi stuff.

I'd love to see a second season, even though I'll most likely have read the Manga by the time it'll air.

I dont understand why the mc doesnt use and drag himself around with the obi like a spider, it would be much easier than defending from the strikes

And i thought if he went out of the battlefield, he would lose
Wtf happened with that
-edit it was the range of the water thing oops lol i thought it was the inner part of that hole circle thigg

Hmm so the dual between the two malison cleanser finally arrives eh.
The lead up to the dual where they discuss the tactics that they can use as well as Sunao's abilities was interesting as was the info on the different Tsugumomo's as well. Its nice to see both sides train and prepare for the dual though and see their motivation as well. Its nice to see that apart from winning to prove he is stronger Kazuya is also fighting to protect Kiriha as well. The bond between the two really has developed quite well over the series. The talk that Kazuya had with his mother though was pretty interesting and offered some insight into Kiriha's past and her personality as well. Hmm so Kazuya doesn't know that the malison cleanser that he's been interacting with in his dreams was in fact his mother eh. So Kanaka's sealed that portion of his memories eh. Well im sure he will remember it someday. Sunao's determination to win and the motivation behind it sure was surprising and its no wonder she is that motivated to win here. When comparing that to how Kazuya become a cleanser i can understand and also see why she is so angry with Kazuya though. Its also nice that in addition to Sunao and Kazuya that we also get to see the motivation behind their respective Tsugumomo's as well. Seeing Kazuya's growth in not just ability but in also in motivation was also nice to see as well. In a way this dual is both a clash of ideas and a clash of might as well. But man the lead up to the dual was so well done.

Hmm Kazuya and Kiriha's tactics sure were creative and their analysis of Sunao's techniques was nicely done too. The conversation between Kukuri and Honoka her fellow god was interesting too. Hmm Sunao's inability to adapt to changing situations and her refusal to retreat is hurting her badly here. Hmm it seems that Kukuri is actually rooting for Kazuya though lol. But it seems that their analysis of Sunao was wrong as it looked like she can use consecutive strikes after all. Well this will make the fight even more interesting as now she's using techniques that were unknown to Kazuya. Hmm so in order to chain her attacks she reduced the mana that she used in her earlier attacks eh. Reducing the attack power of her attacks in the short run while preparing for the long run eh. Excellent example of planning ahead. Seems the table has finally turned. But Kazuya's hamstrung by the fact that he will need to use the real obi to defend against Sunao's counterattack. Hmm wow for Kazuya to come up with an entirely new technique to compensate for not using Kiriha eh. Impressive. This dual really is proving to be most interesting though and this episode was just excellent.

But before that Kazuya and Kiriha really need to train hard because Sunao is every bit superior to them in martial ability though not in bonding with her Tsugumomo. I like how they also used this time to discuss tactics for the dual as well. Normally against a swordsman who's proficient in close combat the best tactic will be to engage at range and from beyond their effective attack range. But thats assuming that they don't have any ranged capabilities though. Sunao though using a sword also has the ability to use ranged attacks with it as well. She will not be a easy opponent. Hmm so a sword Tsugumomo is a really bad match for Kiriha who's a cloth one eh. Hmm i think Sunao really underestimates Kazuya way too much tbh. Still thats not to say that Sunao's analysis is wrong as it looks pretty logical to me. Sunao's view of her Tsugumomo as a tool though is a nice contrast with how Kazuya and Kiriha see each other though. I think even her god see's that as well. Hmm it would make sense for Kukuri to be the mediator for the fight though. This is after all an area thats under her jurisdiction. Hmm so the water dolls have that kind of ability eh. Hmm so in this fight while the dolls will protect the fighters it will not protect the tsugumomo's. Meaning apart from martial might control of the projection for their tsugumomo is also important as well. Losing focus here is a sure way to lose. Hmm so a projection is a copy of the real tsugumomo that has less power eh. Given their bond it's natural to see that Kazuya will be hesitant to use the real obi which is kiriha in combat though as it will risk her getting hurt. Not that Sunao has any qualms in using her own in that way. Lol Kiriha's reaction on hearing Kazuya's motivation though. Equally embarrassed and angry eh lol. Lol seeing all the naughty things that Kazuya unintentionally did with Kiriha and the other girls in the form of a video was hillarious though.

Sucks that we prob won't get a second season. So, as I thought, this show won't tackle the main issue to completion. This season just feels like a setup. So disappointing..

Kiriha's flustered? Its not something i've seen much on this series. Its great! Lmao, that mom's dirty joke can hurt my stomach so hard! Even she just let his son do that much ecchi in the first place? A fucking ridiculous mom i've ever seen. Damn, i want that mom so hard ffs! Why need to chose one if you could get all, eh, Kazuya? Its a great response you had there!

Its nice to have seen the last battle of rival. The good action as a closurement? Great! However, not everything gonna smooth like their initial plan. Its balancing everything, so far. They both had so much power. However, Kiriha condition might in the crisis right there.
So, lets see how good their reaction and a conclusion over that battle in the last episode....

Kiriha is so cute when she's flustered. It's the first time she's blushed that much. <3

Very good fight. I like how tactical it is. It kind of reminds me of the good ol days of Naruto.
