First half of this episode was really fun and gave me some laughs. Then the second half became more serious. Nora kidnapped Yato and Yato was forced to kill people; now that was pretty dark. Yato finally came back to his senses and became worried about Hiyori. However, Nora's 'father' appeared and seems like they're going to the 'underworld'. Looking forward to the next episode.

I'm eager to find out who Nora's father really is?

Also, its been a month possibly since Yato's gone back to Hiyori & Yukine?
wonder what's happened since then? I love the comedic scenes, this show has really grown to be in my top 5 favorites.

But generally it was a good episode and we'll see how it goes.

EDIT: I'm also worried, because the PV of thenext episode has scenes from 4 chapters of manga ahead. That's really rushed.


Totally agree with you.

Erm, I'm kinda wondering what will Bones do to this arc but based Kamiyan as always. Also, NTR soon.

But the episode was good.

I had no idea Yato owned Nora until this episode, also I wonder How Yato feels about Hiyori? Is it the same way as Yukine feels about her? Possible love triangle?

Fucking Nora.

Gotta say Yato is losing a bit of his cred for being too spineless to take back her name on the spot. Shit, Bishamon did it to a guy who deserved death without even batting an eye. #weakyato

Logically he should've just released her name, then ran from the phantoms or teleported to the Takamgahambabagra.

Wonder who this father guy is since he has a lot of power over Yato's confidence. They don't show his face or his voice, so I'm wondering if it's a character who's already been established and they're goona drop that bomb out of nowhere to mindfuck AO watchers.

Judging from the spoilery comments on here already that guy who caught Hiyori is actually a piece of shit. Curious to see what happens with that.

What I don't get is that if gods can do no evil, how can Ebisu be messing around like that?


Funimation didn't do a very good job when translating that... Of course Gods can do wrong. What Yato meant is that Gods are absolute and human ethics don't apply to them. Everything they say adn do is righteous, and Regalias must obey every single one of their orders, no matter their human moral code.

If a Regalia does something that's considered a sin (for humans) like stealing, hurting others, being jealous, feeling lust... they will taint their master (which is what happened with Yukine and Yato in the first season). But Yato could do any of those things and nothing would happen because he's a God, not a human.

HOWEVER, there are still some limits to what a God can do. Making Ayakashi stronger with masks and domesticating them is a threat to the Near Shore, which is why the God Council wants to find out about the masks, the sorcerer and the person who's behind all of this. They still don't know it's Ebisu who's doing it, that's why he's getting away with it for now.

Really funny in the beginning. The darkness at the end was definitely a bit jarring. But at least he showed he could really get out if he wanted. Really wondering who this Father character is.

Dang, Hiiro really is pretty creepy lol.

It's been a while since I read the manga so I can't really compare the two, but the pacing felt really fast in this episode. I haven't noticed this issue before.

Also, when Fujisaki stopped Hiyori from falling...

Yes. I'm also not looking forward to that (trash).

Such a great episode. The first half was funny and all, but the second... Now it makes sense how Yato survived that long and what kind of jobs he was doing all the time. What i want to know now is who the fuck is that "father" that Nora speaks of.

So Yato is remembered through all these killing and sabotages, wonder just how expansive are these devotees.The Otou-sama person was also interesting. Does Nora care about Yato's well-being more or the orders from that person.

At the beginning of the episode, it seems like Yato's finally made it: he has his own little shrine thanks to Hiyori, and he starts being able to have the privileges given to recognized gods. And with Yukine starting to train under Kazuma, it looks like things will be heading in a good direction for the two of them,

But darkness starts coming into the episode when Hiyori learns an awful truth, and something happens to Yato. In some respects, the episode almost felt like being on a roller coaster ride, since it starts out as if Yato is on top of the world, but then all of the happiness and good that showed up suddenly disappears and takes the viewer down a quick and steep downhill slide.

With how this episode progressed, it'll be interesting to see what happens to Yato and the others in the remaining episodes of the series.

Yato's transition to coldly killing people from being the cutest being in the universe was jarring to say the least.
5 main aspects I base my ratings on:
1. Did DramaEnthusiast make a thread about it?
2. Is it better than Breaking Bad?
3. Did MellowJello recommend the shit out of it?
4. Has it caused a (very entertaining) shitstorm on MAL?
5. Is it actually good?

Scratch the fifth point, it's not very relevant...

I don't know what's going on, but it's good to see Nora back, I actually like her. Hiyori is still meh, to be honest, but thankfully that doesn't affect the show much because of other strong characters. For example, Kazuma is still awesome.

Pretty good episode, overall. I'm happy this anime broke the Top 100.

I liked the quieter moments like Yato treasuring his little shrine but this series has turned very annoying. I fucking hate Nora.

Thankfully there's not too many episodes left.
Not going to touch this show again if there's ever an announcement for another season.

I feel the same. I like the anime but I don't feel that motivated to watch it in comparison when I was reading the manga.

The anime is rushing really fast to try to get to a conclusion, which they are also doing by changing a few things here and there. Overall, I like the anime but the changes they're making is making it ehh...

One month ! I hope Hiyori didn't forget him. Angry Yato is still so impressive, the scene when he thought to Hiyori was beautiful. He needs to release Nora, she is just too dangerous for him.
Yato is really a nice character when he is with Hiyori and Yukine and it was heartwarming to see him with his sanctuary *-* Perfect episode.

By far one of the most intriguing episodes. It was nice to see Yato's past self and I am sad about the less screentime my beloved Bishamon is getting. Nonetheless a great episode. Starting with tons of humor not too mention Yato's catface :P then getting serious towards the end

The story is getting better and there are finally some new characters to get excited about watching in the upcoming episode :D

I think even if Hiyori completely forgot about Yato, it wouldn't affect him much, after all he's existed without her for the longest time.

I still think this series is overrated as fuck but it's definitely warming up to me now. The first season bored the fuck outta me and I watched it twice.
