| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Awesome episode as always, Natsume kick demon ass in it! Its a good question now I am kinda curious about how Reiko died. |
| Natsume punched Hiiragi for touching him but he was totally fine with Natori touching him. Anyway, this episode was pretty awesome and Taki will be back in the next ep. Yay! |

| The reason for Reiko's death has me a bit curious now. Especially since this episode shows that youkai aren't the only things Natsume should be worried about. hopefully the book of friends will remain a secret from those types of people. |
| The thing at the end with that knife or whatever it was really surprised me because it's hinting at the next episode and so far they have never done that, as far as I can tell. Each episode more or less stands on its own. I really liked this episode though, it had some really good parts and Natsume being upset over sealing the yokai in the jar at the end was good, until that woman said something about him not being able to survive in that world since yokai are all evil. pfft. Questions about Reiko's death coming up all of a sudden are interesting, especially since Natsume hasn't really thought about it at all. maybe something will come out of it in the 2 episodes left? I really hope they continue this anime again. |
ArrancarNelTu said: What was that thing right before the ending started? Scared the crap out of me. But anyways, 5/5. Its the Youkai that is after the boy in the next episode. |
| interesting. now he takes on the role of exterminator. geh, humans aren't really that great. that woman will probably be eaten by her servants hahaha. |

That must have been what threw the meat cleaver at Natsume last episode - that was never cleared up at the time. |

Nope last episode it was the youkai that Reiko exorcised from Shigeru house that threw an axe at Nianko and Natsume. did it ever actually say that? though i admit it really doesn't follow that a thrown axe from 2 eps ago ties into this next epi, because 2 episodes is the longest a singular plot has been featured, let alone some convoluted foreshadowing. |

| Great episode again. I like Natsume growing his repitoire of spell and seals. It provides good variety. I'm also very surprised that I hadn't questioned the circumstances around Reiko's death by now. Had this been any other show, I think I would have thought about it. I guess that is tribute to the pacing/writing/overall development of Natsume Yuujinchou, that they can leave out glaring details so well by keeping the viewer engaged with other things surrounding the characters. Can't wait for next week. |
| Just when he thinks he will find people who can understand him, he realizes they are dangerous... im so glad that old lady wont be able to use that yokai as a servant. Hope he finds out something about Reiko before the season ends ° n° BTW!!!! why did they let us know about Natori's next job? does it have something to do with Natsume? is he going to do something to natsume?? D:< |
 |
| Surprisingly, i also never found myself wondering about Reiko's death until now o_o; lol another little boy next episode xD and sounds like Takeuchi Junko is voicing him; i might be wrong though. anyway, really awesome episode. gotta love how Natsume can knock out youkai with a punch XD |
| Very interesting episode. We got to see a meeting with people who can see youkai and Natsume proves that his spiritual power is really strong. Poor Natsume... when he thought that he could find people who share the same pain as him, he had to be deceived. The ending made me go O.o Creepy... |
Chicken + Dictionary + Dictionary = CMC. Eeyup.  |
| Great episode and was starting to wonder how Reiko died if Natsume had the chance to ask... i have to say how it ended with that youkai in the background was creepy >.< |

| For some reason I had always thought Reiko had simply gotten sick and died. The idea that she could have been killed or that her death was related to youkai hadn't crossed my mind once, and now that the question has been raised, I don't know why I never thought about it. @Azumizai, yes, I have noticed that this season is much darker than the first. I think its one of the reasons I'm liking this season so much. The little bit of action and suspense that's been added to the show since the first season gives the show a bit of spice. I deeply enjoy the non action non suspenseful episodes but mixing things up a bit has kept the show from getting dull. |
 |
| Loved this episode. I've always been wondering how Reiko died, and hopefully we'll get an answer within the next 2 episodes. If not, I'll be even happier with a 3rd season xD That scream looking youkai was unexpected, made my heart jump since i was expecting the usual serene ending. |
 |
| yeah like everyone else we are all wondering how she died. i have been wondering since the beginning. did anyone else laugh when that youkai took out the cleaver at the end. if this ends in 2 episodes, i can easily see a third season. |
noteDhero said: I really like it too, and it's not over done which makes it even more awesome!! :) Only now wondered about Reiko's demise too, though I've been wanting to know how she came to have her own family (Natsume's Grandpa/parents) for a while now.Great episode again. I like Natsume growing his repitoire of spell and seals. It provides good variety. I'm also very surprised that I hadn't questioned the circumstances around Reiko's death by now... hanabiii said: I don't think so, but maybe it's youkai extermination rather then sealing, which is something Natsume wouldn't agree to?..BTW!!!! why did they let us know about Natori's next job? does it have something to do with Natsume? is he going to do something to natsume?? D:< ArrancarNelTu said: It actually made me laugh, probably because it came out of no where, kinda like the axis last episode :PWhat was that thing right before the ending started? Scared the crap out of me. rlime said: That was pretty horrible especially since he'd been contemplating opening up to others when Nanase-san was enquiring about Reiko. They better not think about using him again!!!!!..Poor Natsume... when he thought that he could find people who share the same pain as him, he had to be deceived. hirahira said: Yay indeed!!!!! XDAnyway, this episode was pretty awesome and Taki will be back in the next ep. Yay! |
 |
| I wonder if Reiko is dead... Anyway good episode, wish he saved the crow but it looks like we are setting up for the end of this season, can you say season 3? |
| My anime list |

XD |
| Fantastic episode. Full stop |
 In every age, in every place, the deeds of men remain the same. |
| fucking.loved. |
  |
| Excellent job in bringing up the question behind Reiko's death. I don't think they intend to solve that so soon, I hope this means we'll be getting a third season (Oh God I hope so). They really chose a nice time to show the knife wielding silhouette at the last moment, especially with the mellow tune of the ED playing. Never saw that coming. |
 |
| This is a good episode where we get to see Takashi meeting other people of similar abilities but unfortunately he gets away disappointed. I can't help but think that he's a little naive in expecting that these people would share the same kind of understanding he has towards youkai. He ought to know by now that not everyone will have similar thoughts but that does not necessarily mean all of those with special abilities are bad people either. I can't help thinking that the next episode will lead to him to expose his own weakness in this matter. One good thing is that he is starting to want to know more about his own powers and that of Reiko's. |
 |
| yay - more Hiiragi please! I love that ayakashi. Also the episode was brilliant - I hope he gets more into exorcising. |
| ~five exclamation marks is the sure sign of an insane mind~ |
| FABULOUSNESS~ also, rage @ cliffhanger |
逃げちゃ駄目だ。 |
| So now we can guess that the Natsume family must be descendant of uber-powerful mages or something like that..... So even without any training, Natsume is so strong already... -_- |
bla bla bla The endless debate between fans and haters. At one point, after spending a lot of time on MAL, you just realize it's totally pointless.Niko-kun said: On MAL, everyone who has used the lame rating system becomes a critic and an intellectual by default, haven't you heard? |
| This episode was great! It's good to see Hiiragi again. Someone needs to make an AMV of the capturing scene with GHOSTBUSTERS music! That would be awesome. Who ya gonna call? xD |
     |
| Awesome episode as always. Poor Natsume though, just when he was thinking it might be okay to trust other people... |
     |
| Splendid episode! Loved the scene where Natsume was playing with nyanko-sensei. |
 |
| OH MY GAWD, I THOUGH THAT I WAS THE UNIQUE THAT NOTICED THE FABULOUS MUSIC USED IN THIS EPISODE. AMAZING. EPIC. ABSOLUTELY LOVELY. BRILLIANT! |
| Quite a good episode I think. It's interesting to see people who are like Natsume as a feel that he is not the only one. Also a potrayal that yes, man could be just as dangerous as youkai. Wohoo for Natsume's exorcism skills!!! |
 |
| so the bird ayakashi really died? ;______; i thought natsume was going to save him.... aww, look at the happy family in the preview. natsume x taki 4ever i find it really easy to believe that reiko had kid(s) if she found somebody like tanuma or a male version of taki. |
| That was a great episode. Favorite one so far this season. |
 |
| good thing that the charm is drawn on his left arm xD haha ... or else he will lose a arm |
     |
| Things are getting very interesting, conflicts with Ayakashi on this level was somewhat unexpected but I'm glad that the story is taking on a different feel to it rather than relaxed all the time(which was still good). |
wakka9ca said: So now we can guess that the Natsume family must be descendant of uber-powerful mages or something like that..... So even without any training, Natsume is so strong already... -_- "Born with strong spiritual powers" is what I've heard. Even though Nanase-san says that she doesn't know how Reiko died it feels as if she's implying that a youkai killed her. But maybe that's just my imagination. |
| Recently watched anime |
| I really liked it. I hate how Natsume was used to capture that demon for that horrible woman. I've got a feeling Natori is gonna screw him over one day. Next episode looks good. |
 |
| huh, i never even thought about it before but now im intrigued as to how reiko died.. At first i naturally thought she died of old age or something like that. |
 |
| Now that ending scared me. Its like the second or third time this has happened. So it appears that the one that tried to kill Natsume before was a different youkai. And that kid near the end looked familiar. And it appears that Natsume will "closing" himself up again, after he was opening himself more to his adopting family. |
| I'm curious about the axe-wielding Youkai. I'm also curious about Reiko's past... |
| That kid in the preview was shown at the end of this episode right? Natsume walked passed him. That boy who was chatting and walking between his friends... Or is my imagination and it's another boy? |
 |
| Great episode with tension. It's a shame that there's only two more episodes to go; I wonder how it will turn out. |
I have my own anime blog. It's called Anime Viking. Hope you'll you read it! |
