This episode was so tense! My brother and I were sitting there squirming in our seats yelling at the tv "Someone save her! Come on! COME ON!" So intense! Gaah!

Seriously, Oboro was screaming for like... what... half the episode? And all Tenzen managed to do was get her robe part of the way off? Tenzen you are the most inefficient rapist ever.

That said, this series feels a lot like a slasher movie. All the characters I like die early on, and the ones I don't like live FOREVER. Can someone kill Tenzen FOR GOOD now please? 8|

Fu**, I thought that Gybou has actually taken out two Igas, but I forgot about that Tenzen bastard's immortality.. I guess the sides will remain balanced for now =\

They really dragged this one out. And Koshirou acted like a douchebag as well, sitting there listening to Oboro screaming and almost letting Tenzen getting his way with her.

That was a very tense and gripping episode. Having nowhere to run just makes it all the more tense. Oboro beins saved from rape by a Kyouga was ironic I thought. And Tenzen is one mean adversary with that skill of his.

I'm pleased that Jingorou is out. I dislike all the unnatural looking shinobi, they give the series a shouneny style at time which a production of its quality doesn't deserve.

The Kyouga really have the upper hand now though. Akeginu's skill is not very impressive, shinboro is blind and Oboro doesn't want to fight. It's all Tenzen now.

N now the episode as to why I HATE Tenzen I hate rapist however the only getting part of her top off in almost half an episode that was really sad he really is the worst rapist ever but that is good because it gave Gyoubu a chance to save her although I dont think that is what he was trying for but it was a good chance to well what he thought was he was killing Tenzen but little did he know he is Immortal that worst rapist bastand ever.

But other then that decent episode.

shit, that was intense. I knew when Gyoubu "killed" Tenzen he'd just come back, since that slug dude from earlier on was unsuccessful in his assassination attempt.

Thank goodness Tenzen didn't succeed with the rape. Listening to Oboro scream like that was disturbing. I hate rape in anime. >_<

Tenzen, please stay dead you fucker.

P.S. How are Gennosuke's eyes open already? Or was that Saemon disguised as Gennosuke?

This episode was so frustrating, Oboro kept yelling but no one came to her help, her clansmen are a selfish lot. Omg Tenzen please die already, i am really curious about how they are going to dispose of him. I just hope he is not the last one standing.

Man, fuck you Tenzen. Watching no one help was frustrating as hell.

But damn, can he somehow regenerate/heal himself? I guess the only way to kill him would be to chop him up. I'm gonna guess that this ripped blend-in guy is dead next episode. But as it stands, it's now 5 Kouga - 4 Iga. That was quite the comeback.

Didn't like how all Iga members were complicit in the attempted rape; now I just want them all to die slow agonizing deaths.

That rape was coming from a mile away. Even in a piece of fiction I wouldn't go as far as to say someone deserves to be raped. But this episode also shows how shallow this how kinda is. There is no Iga and no Kouga, both clans are filled with people with little to no discipline, each doing whatever they want, bit hard to believe for the supposed background story of two clans that refuse each others existence, cus they sure as shit don't emulate that beyond just being in it for the killing and for their own self interests.

He is a monster. How the hell did he come back to life?? Gyobu must return back.... shit!! That disgusting Jingoro is dead. Present situation Kouga lead by 5-4. Gyobu's most likely dead in the next episode. Aahh!

I'm going to put the essence of life, a very scientific way of saying I'm going to violate you.
The question isn't "What anime do you like?" That is merely a list.
The question is "Why do you like it?" That tells a story. Your story.

Seems like Tenzen doesn't really care about reputation within the Iga at all then. I'm not sure if his rape attempt progressed into actual rape or not, as the screaming went on for a while. But his point about "which not even Gennosuke has touched" reminds me of how it's — somewhat ironically for anime — more common for side characters to get physically intimate with the main female lead than the actual protagonist, especially in dark series like this. Guess Oboro should've followed Gennosuke when he left for Dojutsu.

Jingoro was killed in this episode too, which was a long time coming.

Iga are losers, no wonder the author gave them an advantage at the beginning
