Damn not even animals are safe. Sad to see the cat die. Now that lemitsu has finally understood the value of human life would she finally stop being mean to everyone?

Why did Gyokuei kill the cat tho? What was his motive, did I miss something?

It was so that he could silence his opp. Didn't that man who committed seppuku the one who added the dead rat in the food and also rape gyokuei ? He did it for revenge.

Gyoukei is absolutely formidable in all ways and forms.
"Perhaps there is a universal, absolute truth. Perhaps it justifies every question. But that's beyond the reach of these small hands." Mamoru Oshii

Bro, Gyokuei could've thought of other means to exact revenge than kill a cat. Justice for O-Neko! >:(

Awesome episode, I'm loving this developing dynamic between these two, great little heated argument at the end.

I don't think I've ever watched an anime that has just disturbed me more each episode, but this just shouldn't exist. It's really messed up. Dropping this at episode four.
Yeah I'm crazy~

Poor kitty. That was pretty sad. But I thought it was an interesting strategic move in the end.

Damn, Gyokuei did dirty there. He is being twisted by the politics within.

Arikoto confronts the shogun and tells her that she is not the only one suffering. Hope she gets it.

Yeah tell her Aritaka, the spoiled cross dressing princess. Everyone have their own hardship yet she dares to vent it on innocent women. The Waka-Murasaki cat one is brutal, as someone who own cat this just makes me winced, i changed my opinion on you, Gyokuei. Although it does have positive impact on Aritaka status in Oooku and lessened his rival.

Aritaka giving her wisdom and telling her that everyone suffers.

Gyo was so cunning to be able to get revenge. He told that guy that he'd kill him, and he did.

The poor cat didn't deserve to die like that.
