They just keep outdoing themselves with the music. And how about that first scene? Lots of amazing moments here and there.

Another great episode. The revelations about Yaichi were very interesting...I can't wait to see how this will continue!

This is the darkest episode in terms of atmosphere so far. More revelations about Yaichi! I love how events are entangled to create more suspense, great storytelling.

I actually wasn't suprised to learn the truth about Yaichi. I would like to know how his hair turned white. Did he bleach it?

Personally, I thought all the hints and flashbacks kind've made it obvious.

Agreed. In fact, anyone could've hypothesized it from the very first scenes of the first episode. Recall how Yaichi was smoking and looking off as in a daze and then the next scenes are pieces of his childhood (inluding Yagi/Heiza) before coming back to the present Yachi/Sei still smoking in a daze.

That said, I was not one of those people, because I didn't realize that he was having a flashback at the time. But my point is that it was possible to guess it from the start.


As for the next episode, I hope Masa is more skillful than Jin!

I have to agree. The flashbacks throughout the series hinted at this. I just want to know what happened with the gang that Yaichi left.

I like the show but i usually don't get excited to watch it. I forgot we were learning about Yaichi this week so my eyes lit up. Good episode.

There goes Masa's sister...was there any reason she came besides to say the one hilarious line she said this episode?

That's exactly what I'd say from this series too. However, the characters and atmosphere are really excellent and the script is moving in the right direction lately.

Interesting episode, more plot development than usual. I missed Ume though.
But we finally get to know more about Yaich, Yagi and Otake so that's okay ^^
I probably regret this post by now.

That really was a great episode. And I really do believe that Masa's sister served a great purpose by delivering that line. I had a good laugh with it. I also like how she wanted to go back to her boyfriend after sneaking a peek at the beautiful Yaichi. xD

I'm really looking forward to the next episode. *_*

So Yaichi is actually Seinoshin? And when he was a kid he knew Yagi and the real Yaichi. Then he joined up with a gang, betrayed them and fled, and then took over Yaichi's name because he was dead?

Is that right?

Haha, I actually thought she had a thing for Matsu. She was blushing a lot talking to him, so. :P

Lovesick Yaichi! -- say the girls at the whorehouse. And the madam comments "he's been like that since that ronin got here". X3 Could they be anymore obvious!?

Good to know a bit more about Otake. FINALLY.

Thats what I got from this, im just not entirely sure how close all three were exactly, when Yagi recollects, to me it felt some details were left out still.

In the earlier episodes, Seinoshin the kid and Yaichi were introduced and I have guessed that Seinoshin the kid is now the Yaichi/Ichi we know. I hope to see more of Yaichi/Ichi's life story, and...hear more of his voice XD

Funny how Yagi knew the original Yaichi, and the "new" Yaichi while he was called Seinoshin.
And.. Uh.. Right, anyway, hurr durr.

Yep, I kinda figured it out in that very first scene...though I still don't know what does Yagi want with him.

great episode as usual - this show has such a thoughtful, peaceful atmosphere, with strange undercurrents of dread... - it's cool the way yaichi's past is finally being exposed - he is such a charismatic, mysterious character - i can't wait to see what happens next!!!

Mmm, that get really interresting. So Yaichi would be in fact that little boy, Sei, who got sold by the real Yaichi (the servant) and then sold the other gang. Now, it look like the guy with the scar come back for a payback...

When I saw that Yaichi the servant didn't look at all like our Ichi and that Sei had the same eyes, I immidiately understood. Too much coincidence.

Masa is really bad in the mystery game xD
He's playing a dangerous game, to work for each side...

I'm starting to find it hard to say anything about an anime that leaves you wide-eyed as you take it all in.

SeiYaichi's breaking down into his base elements. What did you do, ronin-oniisama? :(

I'm not sure why some of you didn't know Seinoshin was Yaichi until this episode. It was obvious; the storytelling wasn't obscuring it or anything like that.

Seems like things are starting to setup for the finale. I wonder if Yaichi might plan to get rid of Masa for his own good. If anything, someone is probably gonna end up dead.

Everything is culminating for the ending now. I'm a bit worried about how this will end. I fear it could be rather disappointing if I don't like how all the characters settle their issues.
