Anyone wanna tell me why Kyounosuke (the guy girl) didn't want to get involved with Saito vs Ana?


Good point,i couldnt figure that out either.i was trying to puzzle it out.hope someone has an answer.


I was wondering that too. It seemed to be rather OOC of him. Hopefully they will provide some good explanation.

I was not expecting Ana to do that. Nor was I expecting Isanami to be darkness - that hair ornament protecting this world from her was an unexpected twist. I liked this episode quite a bit.

Er, because it became overwhelmingly obvious at that point that Saizou and Ana were way above everyone else in this series and that he'd been mostly playing with Kamanosuke in their previous fights?

Can I ask who's the speediest/the one with the best agility in this series...?

Before it was obviously Sasuke, but in this episode, Ana said, "Faster than Sasuke...!" or something so...

In the manga, the hot spring guy did say Sasuke's movements were near impossible, and Sasuke was pretty much looking down at the dude, knowing that he's way faster...

So, now, who's the fastest? I don't really like the idea of Saizou being the fastest cuz... Well, normally dagger-users are faster, not people with big swords...

All in all, is it safe to say that Sasuke's just hesitant because he didn't want to believe that Ana's a traitor? D:

Very good episode.
Ana being a double agent(?) was something I didn't see coming and I hope she actually is a traitor:
- would a new member of the 'Brave 10' have to be recruited?
- will she be an untrustworthy fixture in the group
- will she be one of those bonus members who wades in during times of need?
Who knows, but this turn of events is interesting - I hope she isn't turned into a 'damzel in distress' with a sob story.

Wow. FINALLY the show is deciding to go somewhere. If it keeps getting better, I *may* have to bump it up one. It was just a joke up 'til now.

Oh. Seems Ana's boobs aren't quite so grossly oversized anymore. The case of the magical size-changing boobs.

Pretty good episode. I like the direction the story (finally) goes. It's not very original or creative, but it works.

I loved seeing Saizou beating the crap outta Ana. I never liked her to begin with. So that she turns out to be an enemy, is pretty nice.
I just hope, she doesn't turn out, to have dramatical reasons and die a tragic hero death or even get back on Sanada's side. Just kill her off, Saizou/Kamanosuke/Sasuke.
I hope they don't go the cliche shounen bullshit route and suddenly give her a tragic back story and try to make you feel sorry for her before she gets fucked up.

I wasn't expecting it. I just thought it'd be nice to see Rokuro wear normal clothes... So they finally advanced the story. That was a really good one. Can't wait for the next.

oh Rokuro... O:

And it gets interesting just as it is about to end :o

The fight between Ana and Saizo was hot, if only it was longer...

Surprised to find out the truth about the yin and yang and all that stuff. The Isanami as the goddess of death looked cool though! I wonder if we can see her in that form again...

Precisely. Yuri didnt got between Ana and Saizou due to instinctive fear, since Ana and Saizou are way above anyone else in the group.

We obviously know that Saizou is the strongest member, and Ana is probably the second, since she easily defeated Rokurou and Sasuke and got out of it without a scratch.
Saizou is stronger but dont forget that he and Ana and Saizou are childhood friends who were probably trained together, It must have been a hell of train, those two are very strong. Also only those two their weak points on battle: Ana knows Saizou is "soft" with her, while Saizou knows that if he hits ana´s ice before it crystallizes, her ice will break.

Like I said before, I dont think Ana wanted to kill anyone for real, although her boss wouldnt mind if she did for sure he would be glad. Ana even had chances to seduce Yukimura and bring him into her bed to kill him, but she always kept him away.
It is explained on the manga that most female ninjas used seduction to kill/obtain info/get promoted.

JK.

I guess she doesn't want to kill him, but leaving him healthy would be a nuisance. So yeah, she injures him, which makes him temporarily... useless.

Only via surprise and hesitation, Saizo rather easily kic-- while no he sword guard broke her ribs then he broke/cracked more with his fist then nearly broke her knees and had enough killing intent to scare our trapish character who loves to fight the most among them all.

What bias?
Where's the dissrespect of opinions?


I believe we can interpret it like this, "Obviously sexist if you like Ana at all." is the Bias.
The disrespect of opinion is the same thing, for he is calling people sexist for liking Ana.
Some like the design, sure, but some like villians too, he just doesn't get this simple fact.

I pretty much see most things from a writing/marketing perspective, so I interperated it as Ana'a design and actions being 'sexist' in the eyes of some - she's the type of female who would appear in a shounen going by appearance alone; creating a 'sexist' fanservice tool.
Also, when it comes to fights with females; boy vs girl is only ever OK when the girl is beating the guy, which is again, sexist, as it erazes equality in a fantasy world where both genders should be equal as skill is everything, and on the same lines, if she loses, like many females, she's more likely to get sympathy, which could be seen as sexist.

This isn't my opinion however, just a general writing observation, so If I'm right about the posters perspective, then I understand. ;)

Great fights, it's a shame Ana had to be the spy but I wanted Saizo to win anyways.

Here's hoping to see Isanami's death form manifest itself later! She looked too badass.

Interesting indeed. The "bad" Isanami looked soo cool.

Good episode, the fight with Ana was cool.

4/5

I was thinking maybe a 6 rating for this show, but if the last episodes are this good. I might bump it to a 7.

That was very nice, Anna probably intentionally didn't kill anyone.
Isanami is running away, and all sorts of crap will happen next episode.

What's with the subtitles calling Kamanosuke a girl? Annoying! Took me a few tries to find the right one.

I never expected Ana to betray everyone. In the manga I did wonder in one chapter, but I had changed my mind.

Oww, did Rokurou really destroy his eye? Uwah, Sasuke was stabbed too!

Kamanosuke looks cute with his hair up~

Hmm, so that's what was wrong with her hand in the past, it was Darkness spreading.

Who~ah, so Isanami is more of a badass than one could have ever expected?

Wish more of the manga was scanlated so I could read this part.

Oh yeah, Sasuke's reaction to Veronica was adorable! XD

yeah kinda didn't expect it to get serious and for 2 of the 10 to almost die. at least Saizo fought without holding back.

interesting with the 10 elements or whatever. Ana did kind of make most of them look useless.

Yeah, hope the series goes like this now. Some awesome fights with Anna and Isanami being the darkness with the pin actually containing her powers was a nice twist.
She's quite a dangerous one.

You may as well have said: "i will be complaining and nagging in future episodes". Anna was presented in a deliberate way that we understand she can't be just evil. So yeah. Ether she's pretending that she's betraying them or she has a sad story behind her actions so yeah you are just giving yourself reasons to be complaining when you know very well it will be that way.

I thought they had showed us that Ana was a ninja for some other master back in maybe episode 3. But as the episodes went on I assumed I must've misunderstood that scene and then I eventually forgot about it

Anyways, very interesting about Isanami... And then her and Sai-chan being yin and yang. I like it. No wonder Isanami said he was her light and that only he can make her feel that way.
