This episode had one of the most intense action coming from Yuuki imo. She really let all her rage and pushed herself to the absolute limits. From all the recent build, I can't say I'm surprised.

A fight with such high stakes deserved this level of action. A lot of blood was also spilled...damn.

Nogi Wakaba's transformation was so cool, those wings...!

But really, I should've watched the previous seasons again, I can't remember what happened with the curse thing in those at all. Are we back in the past or still in the present during this week's B part?

The thousand hero punches move was pretty cool. Honestly was expecting an ora ora for a moment. Or Luffy saying Gum Gum no gatling XD.

So Yuna T. is Yuna Y. but not really... this one bit of dialogue sums up my confusion of this season so far.



Speaking of confusion the pieces are all coming together and we are now back on the timeline after everything was settled with the vectors... maybe? Unfortunately, looks like the Taisha want to sacrifice Yuki but I don't think that's going to be easy.
Notice: I read most manga in Japanese now so I'm not sure where you can read in English. Sorry in advance.

Man, Wakaba and Yuna T sure were cool. Would've been nice to ya know actually get to know them and see their whole story instead of the highlight reel we got

I have decided never to read Nogi Wakaba. This adaptation has convinced me the story offers nothing of value. The music remains as good as ever.

YuYuYu's fight scenes never disappoint, Takashima's and Wakaba's Trump Card usage may be the best transformation we got visually. Takashima's Thousand Hero Punch is the icing on the cake too. The only other thing they changed here is Takashima's "introduction" of her to the Vertexes instead of she doing it to Wakaba and Hinata but it really fits the context of "a final stand against the Vertexes".

And with the rushed as all hell summary of NoWaYu out of the way we're back into the present. Utano got SHAFTED REALLY HARD LMAO, since her interactions with Wakaba were not present in the summary all that's left of her is her hoe, RIP the hoe's context for anime-onlies.

As with Tougou meeting Gin again, the Yuuki meeting Takashima scene is another nice addition that tells us Yuuki's state of mind during the whole ordeal in Hero chapter. The KuMeYu's final fight is up next and I have no doubt it'll be quite a treat, unless they somehow messed even that up

The fight scene was intense. It feels like these vertex are stronger than the ones Yuki Yuna fought.

The holy ritual mentioned in this episode forms part of the plot for last season. So the ritual part was not depicting the time that was 300 years ago - the period where Takashima Yuna and Wakaba Nogi fought.

as expected the battle is a very hard one, Yuna and Nogi are outnumbered and one of their opponents was even revive right away. It's a miracle Nogi was able to survive.. or maybe because Yuna Takashima already trashed that giant vertex, so Nogi only has to defeat it one more time?

one question is... I assume their timers are both 180 seconds, both powered up at almost the same time. Why did Yuna run out of timer faster than Nogi?

looking forward to next week!

So NoWaYu only get 4 episodes on paper but 3 episodes in practice huh? Well, I didn't expect much anyway.

Hinata just became super useless in the anime version lol. At this point, her role is nothing more than some screen accessories.

It's funny Yuuna is out of juice first before Wakaba. Well, looks like the anime production staff change and cut the story too much that they don't really care about logic anymore huh?

NoWaYu is finally over! 8/10 for animation, 3/10 for story quality. Now I want to see what shit they want to make with the rest of 4 episodes that make them think sacrificing this episode 5-8 is ok.

For plot convenience I guess? They already change and cut the story so much, ignoring the timer and any incoming logic is not really that hard anymore.

Utano don't deserve this kind of shitty rushed adaptation, she deserve something better for fighting alone in her 3 years long war.

LOOOLL now even as anime only i must agree that turn a entire interesting character in a pointless old HOE is ridiculous.


Also poor the Miko Hinata. Even the girls reading the diary forgot about her when stating that "Only Nogi survived".



It seems that the last 4 episodes will be original anime content, right?


Maybe they will find a way to kill the Sentinel girls in a meaningless battle that occured along with the main battle we watched at the end of YuYu season 2 LOL

I'm wondering that too. I think it must be something that references both Kusunoki Mebuki and Nogi Wakaba, since both novels were adapted this season. Otherwise, they could have skipped one of them and spent the past 8 episodes on a single story.
I'm especially wondering why they spend so much of each arc following Yuki Yuna and her friends, who have done nothing so far. As you alluded to, only about 6 of these 8 episodes deal with the novels.

More like "3 episodes of original content', next week's will definitely cover the 2 bonus KuMeYu chapters as shown by the last few mins of this week's episode

Maybe there is a limit on how much power they can use so if you used too much you revert back to normal form.

or maybe it can be the damage you take, remember on s1 when Karin got hit by the vertex her mankai wore off and she needed to cast it again. Maybe they used the same concept with yuna's trump card as she already took a lot of damage.

As a LN reader, this adaptation did the story a disservice. It's basically a highlight reel as glorified fanservice but without much build up and just jumped into the action or climax. Chikage got the most mileage in this but still lacking the subtle buildup and gradual change to her character like the LN to really hit the homerun.

I mean, TamaAnzu were killed before they even spoke ffs and Utano was reduced to just a hoe gag. Entire first volume of the LN was skipped. And Hinata... Granted her role in NoWaYu is mostly playing support (receiving oracles from Shinju to inform them of upcoming Vertex invasion, etc) and as the Heroes' mum until the end and her role was expanded in the Apocrypha novels.

NoWaYu is widely considered to be the peak of the Yuusha de Aru series in terms of story and characters that we even got 3 spin offs of it to give closure for some characters and expand the story further. It's a real shame a lot of anime-onlies were exposed to the speedrun version and wrote it off as nothing of value.

Proper NoWaYu anime later down the line onegai
There probably won't be a new season as continuation of the yuushabu story since they spend the current reason trying to fill in the gaps of YnS
So using new anime project to expand the stories they speedrun doesn't seem far fetched since there's precedent.

Relieved to see people here have pointed out inconsistency between Yuuna's and Wakaba's power-up timers - it bothered me a lot while watching. I am disappointed about exclusion of Utano as well. i liked her character design and was curious how would they adapt her "manual" transformation sequence, as opposed to other girls using a spiritual smartphone.

Holy shit! 6 Vertexes.

That hoe.
Yuuna meets Yuuna?
Holy Shinkon wedding?
Final mission?
Dat ending.

Damn. Hinata gone just like that. I will miss her.
