| I thought we got a female Ginko. LOL Now we see how Ginko came to be. Anyway, Ginko's past was kinda sad though he can't remember Nui or even his mother. Also, the smoking thing was made cleared. :) Great episode once again. |
| Brilliant episode, I just knew that was Ginko from the beginning and I'm so glad we finally got to know a bit more about him...even if he does remain mysterious which is fine with me. |
 |
| This was utterly fantastic. I can’t describe in words how amazing it is. Finally getting Ginko’s awaited back-story is one thing, but having it in such a beautifully executed way, unique and engaging… It has to be Mushishi, to reach this level of perfection. It’s flawless. My favorite episode, without an ounce of doubt. |
I think, then procrastinate. Therefore, I am. |
| That's an interesting past. |
    |
| It's a shame he doesn't remember anything, smashing episode, though. |
| Great episode. At last we learn about Ginko's past |
| This was incredible. Loved the back story and Nui. Ginko and Nui are very interesting characters indeed. |
| Got to know more about Ginko, good episode indeed. |
 |
| The woman is the same voice narration. |
| Even when I was in crowd, I was always alone |
| Awesome episode, I loved that flashback to Ginko's past :D |
 |
| What a great episode. I had a feeling his story would be just as melancholy as the rest, but I see him in a different sort of light now. This is a really great anime, I'm upset at myself for taking so long to see it! |
Sheepdude said: Wow, I was thinking how there was finally an episode without Ginko in it, but as it turns out... Glad I'm not the only one that didn't immediately recognise Ginko. I actually thought it was just another kid that looks the same as the rest... until the end, obviously. So that's how he got his name and pretty green eye. Definitely made for a good episode - and I especially oved the music this time as well. |
| Wait... but... didn't he FORGET everything? He calls himself Ginko... unless... what? As soon as Nui said "Ginko". I'm like, "it's him as a kid! Yoki!" and bam it all makes sense. Edit: Nevermind. Ginko merely adopted the name "Ginko", and he does remember Nui. Ginko sacrificed his eye to live, like Nui instructed. (I'm right! In spoiler.) |

| finally we get to see how did ginko got white hair and lost his left eye. why he starts travelling :D this anime is really masterpiece. |
| Very nice episode for what's been a great series so far. Sidenote, is it just me or do all the "male children" look damn near identical in each episode XD |
| |
| I think it's for the best that he doesn't remember anything. |
| It was so sad... |
| Great back story and another beautiful Mushi! |

| Great some awesome backstory! Didn't catch much of the first part but the ending was just to epic! |
 |
| Wow, Nui's story was so sad. I didn't guess the kid was Ginko at first, so imagined the she was like, Ginko's long-lost twin or ancestor or mushi clone or something. I was thinking how cool it would've been if they met, but what happened was waaay more better than that. This show is AMAZING. |
| this episode was so good, it was like a whole movie worth of info but it didnt feel rushed |
| It took me a few minutes to realize that the boy was actually Ginko. Well at least I know how he came to be like that. |
| Finally, backstory about Ginko. It was really interesting. Now all is clear. |
 |
| At first I thought Nui was a man, lol. It was good to see Ginko's background. Kind of tragic episode tho. |
  |
| I had this on hold for so long, good episode to get back into the show. |
| Very well-done background ep for Ginko. So we, the viewer, know more about his past than he, the character, does it would seem. |
| Very nice ep, wonder if Ginko would discover the origin of his name again sometime though or if he already did in the meantime. |
ashllee said: so first impressions of this episode "omg its a female ginko!!" lol and then i kinda put two and two together..but still it's good to see how ginko ended up the way he is. though that still doesn't explain why his clothes are modern compared to everyone elses =S lol and no one ever asks him about his hair and eyes. great episode though =] maybe later one we'll find out why ginko's friend is obsessed with collecting mushi objects? ginko's name is interesting too =] All that ^ :) |
| Sad episode ;_; I think especially the end, when the man told Ginko that he could stay, and it was like Ginko had another home. But then he realized that he would attract a lot of mushi and end up causing problems for the man, so he left...it would be really sad for a kid to realize that they can't stay in one place for too long. It's kind of lonely. |
| Ginoko's back story was pretty sad. Now we know how he lost his eye. |
 |
| aah, now I know what really happened. Especially to his left eye.. |
| So Ginko can't remember his mom or Nui? D: I wanna know more about his past :)! |
| I was pretty sure at the half of episode that Yoki was Ginko. Really cool to see where he come from and who was is mentor. |
| «Time is passing so quickly. Right now, I feel like complaining to Einstein. Whether time is slow or fast depends on perception. Relativity theory is so romantic. And so sad.» - Kurisu Makise a.k.a. The Zombie |
| Is the voice actor of Nui the same as the narrating voice at almost every beginning of an episode? She doesn't look old, even with the white hair, but she sound like a wise old lady. |
 |
| Another very fascinating episode, it really helped boil down the essence of the Mushi. As Nui put it "Everything is as it is." These stories are really compelling and sad, especially the idea that Mushishi can't ever settle down. But at the same time, I think it's intriguing how the mushi aren't to blame and that they're only acting on the natural order for them. |
 |
| Ginko's origin story was beautifully done. He gave him some good character development. Now we know why Ginko looks that way and why he is traveling. |
| Armageddon was yesterday, today we have a problem. |
souledge94 said: Once she said the name of the fish I already knew this boy was ginko. Though to be honest her dieing felt unnecessary and it just felt like it happend to be sad. I mean what was the point. She could have taken care of this boy and taken him under her wing insted she just abandoned him. I dont know it just had no logical sense. She couldn't overcome her past. |
 |
| I was kinda slow on realizing that Yoki was actually Ginko. That was a nice back story Great episode, halfway done and it's most likely I give this show a 10 or probably a 9 |
| nice to get some back story |

But he's a guy. It's already twilight And yet, it's so hot. The cicadas are crying. But... He's a guy." |
| It's my second time watching this but it still made me sad >__< |

| great episode |
| Woahh. I was like wait, that's Ginko, then I was like, doesn't Ginko have two eyes? Never even noticed he was missing an eye! Great episode :) |
| I think it's really sad that he forgot about his past. |
 |
| Everything is as it is. |
