I would guess that it more than likely contains information on the treatment of Chiho.

Well I agree that the change were drastic but then what of it? Were you expecting them to make change and return to the manga storyline latter? No it won't happen and wouldn't have happened even if Uzume wouldn't have been terminated.

Once they stop to follow the manga they won't return to it and the reason is simple: because the added developement can be bad for the actual story. These guy aren't in cooperation with the mangaka, why would he tell them how to finish the story he did not finished himself?


OK, back in 2008 when they aired the first season, they decided to "end" it at a point where they could come back, 2 years later (2010) they were able to come back and follow the story almost right where they left it.

But now that they did this, it's almost impossible for them to come back, this will be the end, I'm just disappointed because one day the manga will end, and whatever the TRUE ENDING is we probably won't see it animated.

The fact is that of all the anime out there, only a SELECT FEW will ever end properly the way the manga ended, for example (Death Note, FMA, and Monster).

Bleach and Naruto may have their INCREDIBLE BAD FILLERS, and they may seem never ending, but eventually they will end and the good thing about them is that the anime will end the way the manga ends.

All I'm saying is that the majority of people can realize that the manga is almost always better than the anime, and we all wish that we could see the ending of anime the way the manga ends.

An anime-only end can sometimes back fire and have a bad taste on fans for example (Elfen Lied, Claymore, Tsubasa Chronicle, and Many, MANY more).

For Claymore, that was a bad end...
But actually, what they do with the death of Uzuma was good ...
Emotionnal and other things ...
I just want to see what they will do in the future but actually ...
That was a good development.

@Episode
Goodbye U-cyan.
The part about taking Chiho to the MBI hospital reminded me of the recent manga chapter @_@
But meh, guess it ain't happening.

I think Chiho will die as well, because if she does live, what can she do? She can't live at the Inn, well she can, but it's going to be difficult, she'll be the only normal human out of the Ashikabi and the Sekireis, she can't go outside by herself because she doesn't have any money, her parents are dead, I doubt she will get money fast enough from jobs to stay at a hotel


Well unless the producers decide to take some crazy risks and say " ALRIGHT! OFF TO THE FINAL MATCH! KARASUBA VS MUSUBI" And Musubi wins and brings Uzume back..If that happened...I would give my favourite anime a 0 not a 1. Specially since right now Musubi doesn't even stand a chance against Karasuba.
I'm pretty sure Miya would let her stay without paying the rent, since she deeply cared for Uzume, I doubt she'd let her Ashikabi on the streets w/o aplace to stay.

Well, I know Miya would let her stay, but it's like if I were Chiho, I wouldn't feel comfortable and stuff, because I'm a normal human being that isn't suppose to associate with sekireis and ashikabi because I am out of the game when Uzume is gone, it would just feel weird and awkward. I would feel out of place, I'm trying to explain this as much as I can, but I can't find the words I'm looking for!! >.<"

Or maybe, she'll stay in MBI hospital forever getting those treatments, because I'm sure she won't have a incurable disease, all of a sudden be cured, that's just insane. Well, at least I think it's an incurable disease because she had it since she was born.

Oh yeah, I just remembered something, Chiho IS going to die, they stated that Chiho would still die under Higa's treatment, the treatment is suppose to slow the illness down, I'm not sure which chapter/episode it's from, but I am sure they said that.

What sickness do you think she has? From when she was born she had it... and it can kill her... OMG, AIDS?! AIDS seems the most reasonable, you can live a long time under treatment, but does it cripple you? Meh, dunno.


In the manga I doubt she's going to die since MBI has the cure they are looking for. If they take that side of the manga and Minato finds a way to transfer Chiho to MBI then no, she won't die. Oh well, we gotta wait for the next epis.

So they're going for an anime original story like FMA1? Very well, I won't bitch about it and will accept what is happening here now. I like so far what's happening, the East and North meetup. And with the same predicament as the latest chapter of manga, Chiho's treatment. But I do not like it that they killedterminated Uzume just like that. One of my favorite characters in Sekirei, even if she was being controlled to kill others. Goodbye Uzume : <.

Let's see now what will happen next. There isn't an episode limit yet so it's not yet sure if it's 12 episodes. This festival and the preview introducing the four Ashikabi powers of the Plan looks like something big will happen. Will look forward to it now.
Oh and nice fights here along with the fanservice. Just the way Sekirei is supposed to be.

Junichi Suwabe sure is busy. Higa Izumi here in Sekirei, Freed in FT, Takashi in HotD, Hitsujikai in Ookami, and Miran in LoLH. I can never get tired of his voice :D.

PS. If anyone wants to read where Sekirei broke off from the manga, start from chapter 73, around the middle part of the chapter.

I dun see why ppl think this is a bad thing. sure its sad to see Uzume died, sure we dun like the way it differs from the manga but plz just give it couple more ep, this is the last ep of the season. I feel its more like the twist that set up the stage 3 battle between Minato and Higa if u guys recall from the manga and this makes the anime appear that this Sekirei battle has more meaning than rather for the jinki. if this is an only 12-13 ep season, consider the fact they have yet to fight the Disciplinary Squad, there WILL have a season 3!!!

Well i think will happen the same thing that happen to FMA, at first will be anime storyline, and then when all manga will finished up it's publication, they will do some kind of "Sekirei: Sisterhood", if no, then current "Sekirei ~Pure Engagement~" it's just nice ecchi parody on real plot of Sekirei's storyline, and small epic fail =)

yes yes. the anime deviated from the manga. WAAAAaaa! wanna try whipping this dead horse some moar??

seriously, take the anime for what it is, a standalone from the manga. Anime doesnt necessarily have to mimic the manga or vice-versa. As for what happened, as an avid follower of the manga, i thoroughly enjoyed this twist of a development. Why? Because it was emotional, it was dramatic, and it's probably the catalyst exactly needed to get the serious action on its way... or at the very least set up for season 3. (if there is even plans on making, Im not putting my two cents in about that because thats a whole another story.)

ok, so the story changed? Big deal. Just enjoy the ride; for me, it's like reading an alternative storyline to sekirei. (for some of you people out there, FANFICTION) I'll reserve any potential bitching about any failure of this season stemming from story deviation when this show ENDS. because as some people have mentioned, some anime where it deviated from the manga was somewhat decent... and yes, some of em BOMBED HARD. ahemROSARIOahem

bottom line: tl;dr - just watch the show and make your final judgments when the show ENDS. thxkbai

Why are Minato's sekirei so useless? Except Matsu of course. They even can't catch 2 middle-power Sekirei.

I really hope there won't be 3rd season, or OVA, or something. Just want to see some kind of ecchi-end and it' over.

So i've read over all the posts and came to a few conclusions.

#1 I find it very humorous that people are very upset with this episode while the voting says at the top of the page that 61% liked it.

#2 I believe we all like Uzume and it sucks she died but give it up. I understand it's not the manga. If you like the manga so much then just read that and don't ever watch the anime again. I mean being on fire has to be more enjoyable then episode 10 right? I actually enjoyed the episode. It was heartbreaking, made me cry really. Its a different route than the anime and I like that. Gives sort of a different story which has its pros and cons. I believe that yes it doesn't follow the manga storyline but is a great story on its own.Also they all end properly because....they end. It may not be the ending you want but lifes tough, deal with it!

#3 as for you should have sticked to the manga story line we actually don't know yet what could happen to Uzume, she for very well could die and it could play out just like the anime, or she could live, Chico could live, everybody is happy. We don't know yet because the manga isn't completed up to that part where the anime is.

#3.5 the manga is of course different from the anime. I feel the anime version is unique and so what? I believe somebody mentioned fanfcition. Actually some good sekirei stories on there. One of the best was what if kazehana was minatos first sekirei instead of Musubi.

#4 I feel that if the anime just followed the manga it'd be kind of boring cause you already know what happenes. To be honest I thought the winging of Kazehana was played out better and more romantic in the anime then the manga. I think they should have worked it into the manga like that instead, have a hybrid winging or something.

#5 I believe there will be a third season. This season is going over really well and the manga is selling hand over fist in Japan so I would be utterly dumbstruck if they didn't continue the anime.

#6 miya would let her stay, if she hasn't killed Seo yet Chiho would probably go just cause of Kuu chan, also minato said he would take care of her and he lives with Miya so....

#7 If the anime is only12 episodes I will cry.

#8 for all we know uzume could resurrect and come back and find chiho next episode, thats how anime works, the impossible could happen!!!

#9 tacos rule.

Actually there was rumors that something like that would be in next chapters of manga so scenarists take the permission for this from manga-artist but it's just a rumors.

Would be 13 eps+special as I know. And they sure make seson 3 but how long would it take?

For the people complaining that they deviated from the manga, by now most of you seen countless anime that do the same thing. An adaptation will never remain 100% faithful to the original source material. It's the same thing with book-to-film adaptations. This happens. Get. Over. It.

With that being said. WHY UZUME?

I think this was a great episode. It is different from the manga, and I would of preferred if they followed the manga. But other than that, the episode itself was amazing.

It really got me into it, I really liked Uzume, and it sad to see her go. But the episode was filled with some good scenes, and the new ending of the episode was nice.

I'm not just mad about them being different from the manga. This messes with the story and can make it difficult, if not impossible to fix. Okey, they probably started making this episode before the current story in the manga, but U-chan had so mush back story to her she would likely important later. I may just stick with the manga now.

well..despite following the source material faithfully up until this point, they really changed things up quite dramatically, cut this out, put new stuff in...I was hoping it would be pretty straightforward for the story, but I guess they didn't want it to drag on to the point of putting in fillers, but to change something significant completely from the original story...not a good way to go. They better run with their asses set on fire because they've already lit it. (to see things through to the end satisfactory: for those who didn't get that.)

I think the mangaka might have told the animators that Uzume would die in the manga, that would be the ONLY reason why they kill off Uzume, if they were that far as to change from the manga by killing off one significant character when it never happened in the manga, would make the animators look really bad.


Hmm, good point; I can see that now. Although if that's the case, then it'd be a big spoiler (and loss of the element of surprise/as well as disappointment) for those following the manga faithfully. Well, I've already started to think of the two as alternative story-tellings ever since they got rid of the main reason why Matsu was being pursued.

I have to say I have been okay with the changes from the manga. Though this episode was underplayed and they really ruined how great that emotional moment could of been. Oh well, it is what it is.


Though I guess judging by comments she had not died yet in the manga when this episode came out. If that's the case I can't be too upset i guess.
