Anju is lucky to have received that medicine in time.

Pretty light episode even with the training. Hakuoro also kept himself busy. Mikazuchi is someone to watch out for this season but I was expecting to see more of a fight out of him.

Oops, looks like Haku might get exposed by Mikazuchi. Let's see how it plays out.

It's still really poorly animated and directed whenever anything to do with action comes around. They didn't even get Mikazuchi's iconic battle stances right or how heavy this clash is supposed to be. Other than that, it was a mediocre episode even if they did mess up the scene with Torikori pretty badly.

With Anju back to good health, hope for getting a allies to make a march to the capital.

With all respect, but I call bullcrap, Mikazuchi realizing that is someone else passing as Oshtor, but Oshtor mother not.

Oshtor Mother is a beauty in visual novel but here she looks average and yeah it obviously that Mikazuchi will notice even if Haku could imitate the sword technique he will still notice someone that have been sparring for years.

Well she's supposed to be blind or nearly blind and it made it seem that the visit was super brief.
Truthfully though...



Oh cliffhanger endings....why does it seem like the peanut gallery appears close enough to hear Mikazuchi yelling...

He probably should have known he was going to get caught the second he traded blows with someone Oshtoru was close with.

Also, I totally didn’t expect Anju to get brought back into the picture this soon. I figured it would be at the climax of the first half of the season.

i liked the episode.
i just have one minor teeny tiny complaint. the anju scene asking haku to be presented was good in the VN. well it can't be helped it was a 20 min scene. i just wish there was just a bit more maybe like 10 seconds. if they just held off rulutieh from crying for like 5 seconds with a silence. i didn't hate it though. i actually felt 80% the same as i did while reading VN.
i just want to ask the anime only's. how was it? did you feel anything?

as an VN reader i love seeing anime only's enjoying this. and various reaction from them

Poor Anju got everything taken away from her, I'm a bit angry with how they draw Oshtor's mother since she was incredibly beautiful in the game, Mikazuchi now being the first person to notices something is eentirely wrong with Oshtor, the train feels is just about to start.

This episode has a lot of setups.

1. The recurring trader chikinaro from the original series and Kuon's first contact.
2. Anju healing up to good health
3. Oshtoru's mother
4. Mikazuchi seeing through Haku's deception.

The recovery of Anju seemed to me to happen too quickly compared to the game. Well, it must be said that the latter was also very long so they have to speed up the pace at times.
Mikazuchi immediately realizing it's not Oshtor he's up against was to be expected. Haku can only imitate him on the surface but not replicate his strength.
For his mother the visit seemed too short to me, but she will reappear.

There was no way Haku was going to be able to trick Mikazuchi... i am on the edge of my seat for what will happen next

Great ep. We can see the mask cracking now. I'm surprised how much I remembered from the visual novel. The story really stuck with me. I never got over Oshtor's death..even now.

yeah i kind of got the feeling she knew it wasn't him but played along because she probably knew it was done in good faith.
