| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- This episode actually seemed light on some parts although there's still the feeling of despair. Sawa and Asahi are now living together. Asahi in particular brightens the mood between them and she seems happy to be with her. They manage to even watch the night moon together. Too bad Tsuki had to ruin the mood this episode and had to push that revenge shit onto Sawa. Tsuki's monster form also looks hideous imo. Poor Asahi D: |
 |
| Asahi and Sawa have finally gotten out of reach of both Nue and Tokyo, and living under paid protection from Tsukishiro's family. At this point, Jin is no different from being a government dog, and Tsukishiro's painkiller-cum-PTSD journey of finding "treasures (of the Karasumori Clan)" to topple the Tokugawa regiment and save Sawa, only proves the theory that the Nue executioner group is no more, and only ideals exist. Asahi's such a kid to coerce Sawa with the caretaker Okimura-sensei, and Tsukishiro's idolizing plea to Sawa only reopens and brings back old wounds, pushing the old revenge-filled Sawa back to his senses. The initial plan has been wiped out, and only forced revenge fills the desires of Sawa. What an ass-pull situation of Tsuki's. |
 |
| Yep... It's not easy to change. Yuki and Asahi have reached a safe place and found a shelter above their head. It's not that bad when you think about it that they've escaped from their previous life or I wish they actually did. Glad to see that Asahi has already made friends at their new place. Oikawa Sensei also seems like a nice guy. Other than that, I guess they're still not totally safe since so many people are still looking for them. Also, Tsukishiro still wanna ruin their lives. They managed to watch the moon together. It was short-lived tho. Everything changed in a blink of an eye. Poor Asahi... she didn't deserve that. And now back to square one. Back on the path of revenge. |
 |
| Will Sawa and Asahi's peaceful life last long? NO... It's a pain. Poor poor... Asahi. I hope she will not die for real, she did not deserve that at all. |
何それ？意味分かんない  |
| Tsuki, you really are a pain in the ass. You helped her but you didn't wanted her to live a peaceful life. |
   “You yourself have to change first, or nothing will change for you!” ' |
| Going by how everyone around Sawa dies, she's probably going to die herself in the end. |
| Nah man this some bullshit. We all knew the peaceful days wouldn’t last forever, but to take Asahi and Sensei from us in one episode? What the fuck. It was so contrived and anti-climatic too. And for what reason? “I want yukimura back” what type of BS.. I’ll see where it goes next week, but this ep almost made me Break my “no drop” rule |
 |
| Tsuki really being a b*tch. Really need some backstory on her actions. I hope she doesn't turn into some crazy lesbian cos she's clearly obsessed with Sawa. RIP to asahi and sensei, you didn't deserve to go out this way. |
| Damn. They just made it out, and now this guy has turned into a cat, and set Sawa back on the path of vengeance by killing Asahi :/ |
 |
| Sawa and Asahi were about to start living a happy life, but it can't be that easy. |

| I really wanted to stop watching and drop the anime in the middle just so in my mind Asahi and Sawa would live happily ever after. |
| Asahi have just a tragic life. Shitty childhood with horrible parents, wanting revenge even if knowing her parents death was a positive thing,get kidnapped, bet her life to fake Sawa death, get a good life just to some months later get cut and maybe died by the sword of a crazy furry. |
 |
| There was a severe drop in quality in both narrative and animation in this episode. But I think I'll keep on watching out of morbid curiosity. |
Ahora, triste en la pendiente, solitario y ya vencido yo me quiero confesar Si aquella boca mentía el amor que me ofrecía, por aquellos ojos brujos, yo habría dado siempre más  |
| Welp....RIP Asahi. Not sure what the hell Tsuki's trying to achieve here. You want Sawa back.....ok I guess? Kind of weird to help her and Asahi escape and then you turn around and pull this. Let's see what happens..... |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. MAL is literally just anime Twitter as its own website lol. |
| just when they started to live a normal happy life. goddamn it. new ed is great too, i love it |
| they really just killed her off just like that huh, well I saw it coming since there would be no way their lives would be peaceful for the next half of the season; real talk now did sensei even die though? dude just suddenly started bleeding unless Tsuki is just lightning fast and was able to stab him without showing herself for even a single frame |
 |
| Asahi deserved better but I'm guessing she'll be alive again in a few episodes. |
 |
| Fucking pain, that's 2 days in a row where a show killed a kid, fuck. I was really enjoying Asahi and Sawa's slice of life, it was really nice to see Sawa smiling, she does look really cute when she's smiling. But, I knew deep down, that ain't gonna last. Sawa deserves happiness, the Sensei would have been a nice husband for Sawa. I can see him being killed, but didn't fucking expect Asahi to die too though. Tsukishirou's just bat shit insane now, probably because of the pain killers plus that blue stone thing. |
 |
i feel so sorry for Sawa because the moment she finally found peace and happiness, Tsuki had to ruin everything but to me it's still not clear why  |

| I liked the last episode, but this one was pretty messy. I don’t know what any of the characters want to do or they want to do it anymore. There was a 6 month or so time skip to establish Yuki adapting to a quiet life and her teased romance with some guy just to take it all away in the same episode. It lacks impact because it was built up too quickly. Similarly, the death of Asahi also lacked any impact because they presented it in the most confusing way possible offscreen. Hopefully the next episode shows some more promise. |
| Damn dude Asahi has been through hell and it finally caught up with her. Jesus. Sensei getting killed was obvious but I didnt expect Asahi to get it. Welp Yukimura is back. |
| Listen to my podcast https://anchor.fm/waifusandweeaboos Follow my twitch. https://www.twitch.tv/sorasensei1 Winter 2525 Waifus on Profile "You can have multiple Waifus" -me |
| so many kids dying...March...and now this time Asahi...oh man! can't take this anymore!!! |
 |
| And just a week ago I thought that Asahi would survive through all this ordeal... z00nex said: Asahi deserved better but I'm guessing she'll be alive again in a few episodes. She's the character in Jouran that absolutely deserves to be resurrected. |
Harem_lover94 said: What the flying fudge was this episode? The budget had disppeared! The pacing was off, the characters jumping between mental states, times of the day and meetings, strange sound design, still-frames, and the super speed development of the plot? It was an absolute train wreck... |
| What no yuri does to a total mf. |
| The writing of this anime is really, really bad. This episode jumped around a lot without really exploring any of the themes, characters, or relationships it set up... Instead we end up with a dead "love interest" who had like 2 minutes of proper screen time, and a dead Asahi very anticlimactically. Honestly thought Jouran was gunna take an interesting turn, instead we get a character who we thought was a good guy, then turned out to be a double agent, then seemed to actually care about Sawa, but no she actually just wants Sawa to be trapped in an endless revenge cycle even though the original plan was to free Sawa? I'm really confused by Tsuki's character "development". We didn't get nearly enough of her going crazy from drug addiction and hallucinations to warrant her new attitude. |
 |
| I knew they were gonna die, it was so predictable. Also, the animation/art for Tsuki’s demon form is absurdly horrendous. I was laughing every time the demon was on screen. |
under”Mebius” is my salvation  |
| man sawa and asahi can never get some peace, i shipped sawa and sensei so much :'( |
| What a mess of an anime. |
| Damn, teacher really want that puss. Shame he died. |
| "The future is always blank. Only your willpower can leave footsteps there." "Ruling over death means ruling over life. Death is the climax of life. To have the best death, you must honor life." |
| Still absolutely no concrete explanation on Tsuki's backstory or motivations. This series has a lot going for it, but storytelling hasn't been one of them. It's incredibly hard to empathize with these characters and be invested in these plot twists when we know next to nothing. Everything simply happens, and I couldn't care less. Almost a perfect definition of mediocre. |
| The teacher had a "expected to die" sign on his forehead, but Asahi was unexpected. I like this anime (both story, pacing and animation), but Tsuki actions are too erratic to eventually make any sense when it reaches the end. |
| I don't understand, why did Tsukishiro help Sawa and Asahi in the first place. If you're going to come back to get Sawa back to the revenge shit then why say you're going to free Sawa. I was starting to think that Tsukishiro might be romantically attracted to Sawa but it turned out Tsukishiro is just one twisted character. I was really hoping that drinking chatting scene in the previous episode came true and really wished Asahi and Sawa to live a normal life but everything got ruined. I thought it was the organization that killed Elena but it was actually Tsukishiro. Even if it's those medicines that made Tsukishiro like this, that monster went too far.  I cracked up. Monster Tsukishiro has the most shitty design XD |
