| Good episode, pretty dark though. Things definitely took a turn a few episodes in. |
| Hahaha, cute little Kofuku intimidating big dominatrix Bishamon was great. Poverty gods don't take shit from no one. |
 |
| Intense! That cliffhanger tho. |
| Amazing episode. Loved the panty shot at the beginning ahahah KOFUKU SO KAWAIII. Just look at this:   *.* *.* *.* *.* *.* Anyway, really intense episode with Yukine breaking the school's windows and all; I think his behaviour is totally understandable... Oh, and I really liked when Yato said that he also liked to have someone by his side in "that" world; well, if you think about it, gods wander around and help people all alone (except for their Shinkis).... That was really touching. And what the hell was that at the end? I suppose that "contamination" spreads kinda easily as Hiyori was already infected as well.... I guess Kofuku's Shinki was just preventing some possible infection? Looking forward to the next episode XD |

| Lol Hiyouri gives them all a beating, and even Yato gets his ass kicked. Kofuku serious was a nice change of pace. |
 |
| Fuck Yukine. Yato should've just got rid of him! Wow Kofuku looked pretty scary there for a moment 0.0 |
 |
| Creep , That desperate situation when you know that no matter how you try can't achieve what you desire :/ His actions are understandable. Hiyori also in those purple marks... :( And Daikoku , you're in Bishamon side ?? |
| What a cliffhanger guys! Kofuku why you don't want to help Yato?! |
 |
| Bleh, if they simply talk, the whole drama can easily be resolved. Typical. |
| YATOOOO T^T Bishamon was really afraid of Kofuku =O I guess Kofuku can be scary when she wants to be. Poor Yukine =( I feel bad for him... |
| Some powerful stuff this episode. I do feel bad for the poor kid, and it didn't surprise me when he snapped like that. Of course, now that Yukine realizes that he wants friends, he's just about killed one of the few friends he can actually have. |
 |
| The fact that Yato hasn't cut ties with Yukine despite his problems (even going as far as to endure the blight) kind of indicates that Yato is interested in making it work despite Yukine being loath to stick with him. Now that he's calm down a bit and probably feeling a little less resentful let's see how he reacts to Yato being sickly. I wonder if Kofuku will help them or will they have to find a way on their own. |
 |
| Damn Kofuku got serious. And poor Yukine. :( |
| [size=90]I got to see another side of Kofuku <3 Yukine gets more annoying in each episode. Seriously, when will he stop being a whiny bitch. |
  |
| It never came into my mind that Hiyori would actually lash out at Yukine. I'm just like "Oh damn." It's just that she's always been on his side. The way Yato handled the bullying of Manabu....I feel like he does that for all serious cases...let them decide for themselves the path they will take. I like that approach. And Kofuku.....damnnn! I love her bubbliness and her seriousness was something I did not think to see. The ending scene makes me feel like Yukine will go through something. Idk if it's dying but it's going to be intense. |
| I do not understand why Yato puts up with Yukine. It seems to me that in his "industry", he needs reliable regalia that can perform when called upon, and an unstable child like Yukine cannot deliver that. But I suppose that we will soon get the 'twist' or some rapid development from Yukine. At least I hope so. Kofuku's one fun and enigmatic character to follow. |

| DAMMIT YUKINE, YOU'RE MAKING ME HATE YOU MORE THAN I ALREADY DO!!!! YOU'RE LIKE THE FUCKING SUZAKU OF THIS ANIME!!! |

I think he can relate to him and tries to change him in some way.. We saw yato cry after all when he chose yukine |
 |
| I slowly hate Yukine more and more each episode. He's just so ungrateful. I feel so bad for Yato. I only want the best for him. Hopefully Kofuko will help! |
| Yukine is actually understandable in my opinion, but I think the author should've put in more work in his past live so more people may feel what's in his own "shoes" But I like the character development and the episode was decent. but the only flaw about this episode... |
| angsty teenagers ruin everything |
| I hope they wrap up this Yukine arc ASAP. I'm not liking it. The occasional tidbits of comedy are fun though. |
| Again time for a Yukine ass kicking...before Yato bites the bullet. Also that bathroom scene, stuff of legend. |
 |
| Kofuku became scary there for a bit, I like it. Dayum. That cliffhanger tho. |
 “Even if the attention isn’t forever, I’ll keep singing.” |
| Wow! Wow! Wow! Wow! I want next episode! Nah, pour Yato. Stupid Yukine! It's his fault! Please, Kofuku, help Yato! Don't let him die!  |
| I completely disagree with most people here. Yato's suffering is his own fault. He wents against Yukine's wishes, never botherd to explain stuff properly to him, didn't suppor him when he needed it, and left him alone to mess about and throw himself deeper into depression. Yukine would have been acting very differently if Yato had treated him with more care and support. yukine is but a boy. Thrown in a very strange and hard ''life''. That litle girl incident messed him up even more. Everyone is all poor Yato this poor Yato that and bahsing Yukine when Yukine is acting very normal and Yato has not. Nope sorry, as somebody who experienced depression and udnerstands it, it's not so easy to just snap out of it, even less so when people just leave you alone to make things worse. Scolding, giving bad looks, guilt tripping, never works. Yes Yato was enduring pain, but he could also just have taken Yukine and TALK with him about what is going on instead of keeping his mouth shut and lettin both of them suffer on. Yukine needs help, he is a victem, hating on him is sick. And not putting any blame on Yato for this mess if ignorant. I hope it all works out for both of them, but I'm just very upset people underestimate the pain of depression. Anyone who really understands it, would not be so hard on Yukine. That hard behavior towards people like Yukine is what causes suicides in the real world. Patience, clearity, support, kindess and communication are key. Yato failed to deliver on most of those fronts. The only thing he shows is patience, but even that in a bad way. poor Yukine. I hope those 2 will be able to properly help Yukine get over his pains because if the anime shows Yukine losing his depression by being scolded or feeling guilty they are showing an unrealistic portrayal. The moment she carried Yato away and looked at Yukine with less nice look, that is what in real life would have worked as teh ultimate rejection and final push needed for somebody to commit suicide. If these characters where real, that was the moment they dammned Yukine. Obviously the anime is going to ignore that for less complicated story telling. Shame on all the Yukine haters though. Victem blaming at it's finest. Bullies really are everywhere. |

| Yukine acted like a complete asshat to the point of almost killing Yato ~-~ I hope he gets well soon. |
 |
| Wow. This episode was sure deep. I understand how Yukine feels but still, enough already. |
   |
| Yukine is a punk ass brat |

Victem blaming at it's finest. Bullies really are everywhere. Finally someone gets it. Yukine was acting like most teenage boys would when put in a situation like this. I think to understand that you kind of need to have gone through those difficult teenage years already. I think Yato didn't make enough effort to ensure that Yukine felt like a companion rather than just a tool. But then again Yukine acted ungrateful from the minute he was made Yato's shinki. So you can't blame Yato entirely. I think the blame lies partially with them both. |
| This episode took a surprisingly dark realistic non-supernatural turn with the bullying plot and then a surprisingly dark supernatural turn. I hate seeing all the Yukine hate. Sure he's selfish and annoying, but at least in this episode he's going through a lot of trauma, realizing he's dead and can never experience a normal life again. It's pretty understandable. And he didn't know that his behavior was making Yato sick... Anyway, poor Yato too, definitely. It's hard to see him suffering like that. What a cliffhanger! |

| "They think it's a competition to have the most friends" Hahahahahaaaa, Facebook. |
| Kofuku is adorable. Yato is is serious condition, that prick Yukine. |
| Poor Yukine T-T (I don't think he is a stupid brat or something like this, I can understand how you can be so desperate in this situation..Nowhere to belong, being beside someone that give you the cold shoulder most of the time and only want to use you...I is one supposed to NOT snap like this?) And poor Yato - Still ...somehow I can't really like him - yet, but keeping up with the pain Yukine is causing him must hurt really bad. Let's see if Yato actually had some good intentions with his ignorant behaviour towards Yuki) |
| Felt reallyy bad for Yato and Yukine kinda pissed me off |
 Set by SenpieX |
| its turning into a faggotfest... i hate those crying kids wasting full episodes only crying. should have killed him, would been a better twist then keeping him after a good happy-bro ending.. ffs 0/10 for this episode |
  |
| Oh, Yato is near to died, if a God can died!!! xD |
| That Yukine sun of a shit sure needs to get his miserable ass kicked, he is just a nuisance., useless as shit I know that Yato is keeping him because of his past that is why he don't kill him. |
Kofuku's glare <33333333333 |
| Hiyori beating the boys for being in the ladies room was pretty funny XD Serves them right. That glare... Kofuku can be pretty scary too ºwº" |
 [*]My Completed List [*]♪Listen ► [/list][/left] |
| That possessed kid scaring the bully to the point that the bully pissed his pants is satisfying. However, since they're pretty much side characters, it's not important. Yuki's main desire is to live a normal life and many other things, he did not know that Yato has been enduring the pain. This really makes me hate Yuki, he needs to understand and trust Yato, even if he's how he is! Still, for Yuki to be so devastated to the fact that he can't go live a normal life is a big pain itself (emotionally, not physically) |
  |
| Probably the best episode I've seen yet. An unexpected turn from the rather humourous start... We see Yukine's insecurities more than ever, a great side story with Manabu and the bullies and central plot progression... everything you could ask for. My guess is that the reason they had to make a borderline is so that the blight couldn't spread to them... I don't see any other reason. |
| Amazing episode, can't believe that it is the same series. I see that everyone agrees that Kofuku is best girl <3 |
 |
| Kofuku just turned into best girl this episode, well unless she refuses to help next episode at least. And Yukine really is the worst character so far. |
| Wow what a great episode. Those feelings... complex storytelling; well kinda... but I do like it. |
| My only regret is having regrets! |
| Mou shinderu yo lol |
