| TROLLED by the last episode preview LOL. So it kept the format of the book LOL. The author is TROLLING us. |

| Wth, they trolled us xD But I'm actually glad they did; the same formula over and over again is not going to work, and that really was like some fresh air xP Nanami managed to seriously creep the hell out of me a few times there x__x |

| Namani was a real badass! Disliked the trolling though. But the episode was still pretty cool. |

Maximatum99 said: This episode was WAY better than I thought it would be, although I pretty much got trolled for the preview of it. Agreed. Since the fight scenes here are very short, guess the preview at ep3 was the whole fight for the 4th sword. Lol at Togame ticklish at the collarbone but nice service there. So Nanami has Sharingan? She can practically use whatever techniques and skills she sees. She's so powerful and talented that her father doesn't want to make her stronger. I like her, easily fools you with her innocent look then gets all sadistic like that. We still have some short fights but there are 3 fights so it's okay. Next episode is a big armor dude? This keeps getting better and better. |

| Togame picked the wrong person from the start... Can you imagine Nanami with the skills of the first 4 sword holders + Kyoutouryuu... Fear the one that can use both the sword and fight bare-fisted..... without breaking into sweat. |
 |
| Lol so they never show the fight scene for shichika? oh well just as good. |
| Furious! I really wanted to see the fight in the preview T.T |
 |
| Something I really like though, is how they actually make it so that for example, this episode plays out in April, while the last episode was a month earlier in the story, and so on : p Collarbone. Weak stuff. xD And I still find it funny that the shogunate is named 'Owari'. Kinda makes it seem.. Not too powerful xD... Shichika's sister.. Is.. Awesome~ ..But somehow creepy O.o She's so awesome~ Somehow disappointed that we didn't get to see Shichika's fight with that Sabi dude : < Though I'm somehow suspecting Shichika might have to fight his sister somewhere in the end : | That would be... So.. Odd... But it seems kind of logical to me D: (Here's to hoping I'm wrong though : D) |

Navarr said: Netforce said: i feel that i was trolled Almost reminds you of Endless Eight, doesn't it? but you didn't feel so bad about it did you? never has a show deceived you and loved it...at least that's how i felt. i really hope they do show us the fight eventually. i wasn't sure who to feel bad for though. those insects were really wiped out by their own moves at that. i swear nanami has the sharingan. |

| Im thinking about dropping it after this horrible episode. Sabi was the most interesting 12 sword holder intoduced so far in the story. Then they go and blow him off like he wasnt even in the show. I could care less about his sister and the boring fights she had with the ninja. Her type of character has been done a 100 times before. They ruined the series for me with the troll job they did at the end of episode 3. Then they make the main character's talk about the fight for 5 minutes just to add more salt to the wound. |

| Hmm, the most spectacular drop in my collection. Apart from great visuals and sound this series was mediocre at best. This episode was the final nail in the coffin. |
"There is a road in the hearts of all of us, hidden and seldom traveled, which leads to an unknown, secret place." |
| I've never been so terrified of a little girl than I am now. (only other time was F.E.A.R) I can see Nanami being a future enemy somehow, she obviously has some deep deep hatred for her brother.. I guess we'll see. |
| Nee-chan is seriously scary, I can't imagine what kind of damages she could do if she joined Shichika and Togame. Well, overall the direction was great and as inexpected as this episode could be, it was quite brilliant. |
 In every age, in every place, the deeds of men remain the same. |
| Nanami is scary as shit. She's more terrifying than all the Yandere's in anime combined. |
rific said: I'm not 100% sure though if it can really be classified as hatred for her brother though. Would make more sense if it'd be hatred for their father, for not letting her become the head of the family.she obviously has some deep deep hatred for her brother.. Since, she has after all helped Shichika during all those years, right? Tl;dr I didn't really feel like she's actually hating Shichika at all.. : | |

| I love being trolled. TROLL ME HARDER AHHH HARDER PLEASE OH FUCK YEAH |
 |
| Boring as...as previous 3 episodes. I guess it would be better if it was 25 minutes long. |
| This is the first time in a long time I felt a shiver ran through my spine. |

| nanami has the sharingan! XD but i also wanted to see the other duel. :( awesome episode. |
| Was expecting some sweet action based from the last episode's preview, but they didn't even show the fight, lol. But it was enjoyable watching Nanami own the shit out of those guys, so it's all good. Damn, Nanami is scary! |
 |
| I had to watch the preview of ep 3 to be satisfied with the ep 4. Man was really hoping for that fight. |

| She's naked in front of him and there is no reaction from him whatsoever I would lose all confidence as a woman lol. The Maniwa insect squad is kinda cute, I almost feel sorry for them taking on Manami, she has brain and brawn how horrifying! She's a genius that can learn a technique just by seeing it once. Where is the fight we saw on the preview?! |
| Mindfuck. I'm in awe and yet completely furious at the same time. Good job i guess ps: OBOETA!! |

| Wow, they trolled us big time and did a really good job of it. Navarr said: Almost reminds you of Endless Eight, doesn't it? But a lot funnier and less painful. |
 |
| Nanami is crazy strong. |
 |
| Didn't expect this... But 5 stars. Best one I've seen so far. |
| I don't know what to say ... let's just say i see his sister in a very different light. But i really want to know more about her !! -I don't really mind if it's spoilers or not, but can someone who has read the novels or something PM me some information concerning his sister, can't wait 4-5 months to know ! |
| I think I've fallen in love with Nanami. She's just so frail-looking and just gives off that creepy smile; oh how lovely. The flashbacks were great... the huge heads and all. Hopefully she does join them or something because I would like to see more of her. |

| So the previous episode's preview of this episode had something that wasn't shown? Oh well, I hardly ever watch the previews so I didn't 'lose' anything. Of course I watched it afterwards and it was cool. However, I think there was a reason why they did it. Let's me try to explain it shortly: The preview showed the fight (or parts of it) with Sabi, Nanami can instantly learn anything she sees and Shichika and Togame talked about the fight with Sabi. Think about it. You who have watched the preview before this episode. You remember the preview quite well, don't you? All that cool action and those moves and such. See, you are almost like Nanami! Seeing something just once is usually enough for learning the principles. The second time reinforces it. E: some corrections |

| Letdown of the month.. Though I will agree that Nanami is awesome. |
| THE PREVIEW LIED But the series just gets better and better. I was soo excited for Sabi though ;___; They better show that fight somehow someday (I wouldn't mind even if it has to be in the DVD version) or I swear I will destroy something. And this one had the best ninjas. They all died like the rest (When Mitsubachi attacked "MITSUBACHI WHAT ARE YOU DOINGGGGGGGGG"), but they were really likable and seemed more like characters than punching bags. It didn't have the witty jokes of the previous episodes, but this was a great episode and is probably what many of us thought the series would be. PS Nanami is creepy, but I love her. |
