Man, I couldn't care less about that guy's tragic past...


agreed can we ditch this lame mountain already? i havent realy cared for any of the episodes on it


Can you guys stop being so annoying? If you just want to see a bunch of fights with no story then go watch fighting tournaments.

Anyway i was confused if that monster really killed his mother or just tried to fool him in thinking like that. Anyway nice seeing characters having a story behind them. BTW did i see Yuki-onas mother there? That's one sexy lady. So the second looked just like Rikuo huh?
Can't wait for the conclusion in the next episode where we will finally learn what Gyuki wants from Rikuo.

So does this story means that Gyuki became demon while human, was he always a demon or did he died in the belly of that beast and got reborn as a demon?

Why are you all saying that was Rikuo's grandpa. Wasn't that his father? It makes no sense being his grandfather since his old now while Gyuki isn't. He was quite young there so i don't think he was older than Gyuki. He can't be the grandfather.

Sorry to say but that's the grandfather, the short old geezer. Rikuo's father has a different look but that's for another story. Youkai age and aging varies for each youkai. That's why Gyuki is still like that but the Supreme Commander has changed. Don't underestimate him though ;).

As for Umewakamaru turning into Gyuki, he's a human who turned into a youkai. And that was his real mother inside the old Gyuki's mouth.

Meh~ I don't really care about Gyuuki's past so FF mode

The one thing that was really amazing was the Mob of demons marching towards Gyuuki's turf

**Snow girl look matured here.. I like the older one

well he actually died, but his resentment managed to return him back to life and now his resurrected, his resentments are the only wills in his mind, allowing him to become an "oni".
Simplistic beauty can't be appreciated by someone who looks for something grand in everything he watch.

Damn, Nurarihyon was HOT in that flashback! ;)

Yes, he's got nice eyes.
...but I wonder if he and Rikuo have weird-shaped heads under that crazy hair... like gramps. I want to know, but I don't want to know....


I was thinking the exact same thing O.O

The past commander is really badass compared to now. I guess the qualities of the commanders are going down these days huh?

Yup!


That violin Harry Potter music really bothers me...

For some reason, I like the present-day demons more. Though back then they were more bad-ass.

Was that Tsurara&#039;s mom in this flashback?


Yep, that was her mom Setsura.

Well damn, what did Nurarihyon say to Gyuki that he will never forget? Don&#039;t just leave us hanging like that!!!


You will find out in next episode. He said something really touching.

is it me or this anime&#039;s pace is to slow


The story is slow, tough the anime rushed through the story before the Gyuuki arc. It will pick up soon (we still have one more episode of Gyuuki arc and another episode or two that focuses on everyone&#039;s favorite character: Kana (after which she becomes a secondary character)... and then the good stuff comes).

I though that was Tsurara Grandmother.


The databook confirmed that it was her mother.


add spoiler tags plz...

All you complaining people are the boring ones to login here just to say that all you want is either fights or speed... watch Dead Leaves ad aeternum if that is all you care about... @frozen_soul and others claiming this is slow have no idea of the word's definition when compared to the speed of the aforementioned or the rhythm of Mushishi.

hearing gyuuki's voice actor get emotionally triggered, sounding angrier and unhappy when explaining his back story.. Very nice touch. GG.

Interesting backstory. It's still a mystery where Gyuki originated from. Or was it just a random occurrence that he, as an orb, came into his mother's womb?

Is that the Nurarihyon when he was younger? And also Yuki-Onna & Aotabou's parents? It's a mystery how these demons age. It looks like Gyuki has stopped aging for centuries, while Nurarihyon has aged so much since then. Unless he already existed for much longer.

Also, some good action in this episode.

Goddamn are all supreme commanders so badass? Cause from the two so far it certainly seems so.
