Kanata is brought back to Koushi and Hinako, but other than Yuoshichi's wife having her qualms, it's fire hunter Akira coming in on the report that spiders are on the move, and urgently requires Yuoshichi to engage with trucks. And then there's the Millennial Comet that Koushi is investigating and getting interrogated by Hibari of the Wind Clan to tell of the spiders' commotion to burn the Capital down, hunting down the Flickering Flame a.k.a the Lord of the Fire Hunters would resolve the situation quick.

The Lightning Cannon, originally as a collection truck, it can house bottles of lightning skyfire as its main weapon, and it is deadly. Koushi leading Akira and her brother into discussion of the subject about flame fiends from someone with red hair and smelled like a flame hunter, it's definitely her brother that was shot down by the divine clans about both the Millennial Comet and the Flickering Flame.

Touko's mission may have been done, but that's not the end of her journey, owing to follow Akira towards the ends of the Earth.

What will be the conscious decision in the midst of all these?

Akira Ishida's voice perfectly suits the Shinzoku guy.

It was interesting seeing out the close with mc and Akira. The whole ideal around muke paper and its importance is crazy on my brain. Damn this show is awesome with so many unsolved threads.

We are near the end of the winter season and we don’t know if the show will have a next season. There are many unsolved threads and an incoming battle against the spiders and gods. The last scene after the credits hints an important twist and that the next is another in depth world building episode

Maybe because Hikari is a usual novel for children, not LN.

Wow pretty sick weapon Koushi made and fat dude finally showed his "evil" side by also wanting to curbstomp the gods, I wonder how that one will go. lol

So the spiders will attack within 10 days but before that the comet (aka satellite and flickering flame) may hit first? To be honest sometimes I have a hard time following the storyline(s) but I believe it was stated that the comet would hit before the spiders attack.

The wind god that appeared before Koushi reiterated what Akira said but was a bit more specific. Lastly, Akira plans on using muku paper to appeal to the palace in hopes of meeting the flickering flame and to earn the title of "lord of the fire hunters." Touko wants to accompany her and I'm thinking she may want to be a future fire hunter.

Wait what??? 10 episodes? No way they can give something resembling an "ending" in 1 episode. I hope this show continues. Animation may be crappy but I still want to know what happens next.

No, we already know it's going to be ~20 episodes long ( how many episodes? - Forums - MyAnimeList.net ). And apparently, they removed the number of episodes from the database entry again.

It's all just a rumor. We don't know the truth.Officially there are 10 episodes.

Unlike many of this season's anime? This show just gets better and better.  
Nothing is obvious, the plot thickens and thickens again! Aside from a few uneven scenes it's a tsunami moving in a direction we cannot see.

Alright I'll be honest, I don't get this anime anymore :/

I don't understand it. Are things supposed to be crystal clear at this point? Is it just my bad memory not recalling things from earlier on? I feel like I'm missing so much here :(

I honestly think I may drop this, or I could just keep going? Idk anymore

Wait there's only one episode left? I thought we were getting 12? You can't tell me this anime is going to get a decent ending in just one more episode

There’s still plenty of the novels to adapt. I wouldn’t worry about being confused yet, as the story isn’t over. There are questions that haven’t been answered yet. Don’t be like Jojo fans who jump to conclusions about stuff they don’t have the answers for.

Everything they’ve shown that isn’t supposed to still be a mystery makes sense, I’d assume you just weren’t paying close enough attention while watching it. I suggest restarting.

If it is only 10 episodes, a second season is likely. But I’m pretty sure this was supposed to be 20 episodes or so.

I honestly think that's the problem in my case. I did have to take a small break from anime as I just got way too busy a few weeks back so I'm catching up on a ton of anime from this season, so I may have to rewatch this at some point. Especially if another season is coming!

Oh wow they use the anti-aircraft gun which kinda rather similar to the huge cross-bow rather than an AA gun nor the cannon, or am i spittin bs there, but whatever xd, to launch the bottled purple lightning. But man, should've first telling to how they hunt the fallbeast and how to gather the skyfire from those instead of that finished product. Alas, maybe the time constraint matter once again, or whatever the case with the source, not everything perfect, right? Same with those divine clan members which reveal to be indeed have a motive why he took interest to our main group. Won't let them reach the Hikari no Ou title, even though he give a clear help about the Spider attack. Let's see if the final giving a clear decent impression despite what has happens here...
