| Incredibly sad episode! I actually didn't know what to expect while watching it. It was a surprise to see he had died in the end. But all the more reason to love this second season so far. |
 |
| Very good episode as compared to the past few episodes. Glad the stories more interesting, but this episode was bitterly sad. |

| wow, this series just keeps getting better and better.. definetly one of my favorites this episode was really good shino's wish was interesting.. how he is just a vessel for murasame now and doesnt want to strain anyone around him... the kid was so sad... how he dissappeared, but was really dead, and then the moms speech "No its just been so lond since I saw my own house" do you still cough im fine now the doctors gave me some good medicine so what should we have for dinner soup might be nice considering the season akihiko, could you lend me a hand where did we put the pots? akihiko do you remember ? reminds me of natsume in a way |

| //HEART IS RIPPED OUT OF ITS SOCKET Q _____________Q WTH THAT WAS SO SAD T ____T |
| Perfect score, that's nice to see. Lol Shino and Aki fell anyway. Great episode as usual, the mother-son interactions were so heartwarming. |
 |
| A real emotional and sad episode, probably one of my favorite stories in this series so far. I'm guessing Shinobu plays a bigger role in this, since he has Inu in his name and Akihiko has passed on. Speaking of Shinobu, I see he's the same VA as Nagisa from Free! Couldn't stop laughing when I figured that out. |
 |
| I'm surprised how much this series has improved since the first season. For the first time I felt like the episode was over too fast and wanted to know what would happen next week haha. I'm guessing (haven't read the manga so just speculation) that this season ends with them finding all 'dogs'. There doesn't seem to be enough time to find (and fight?) the mysterious lady in Shino's past. Still, I wonder if the anime sells well enough for it to get continuation or if that's the intended end. |
| Woah...damn that end took me by surprise T^T He suddenly started turning to dust and then I understood what really happened D: Then seeing his body with the flowers talking on top was the KO for me T_T So well written. Bravo! Totally deserves the perfect score it has ^^...how did this series become so good >_< Also lol'd at Shino-Bocchan XDXDXD Can't wait for nxt ep. PV looks nice ... Can't wait to know more about Shinobu :) |
 |
| Agh! This series is driving me insane! I thought the first season was just sort of bland. However, this season has so many emotional twists and turns that I'm also willing to put it as one of my favorite series of the year. No joke, this was one of the best individual anime episodes I've ever seen. The way it set itself up and played out with an ending that I don't think I'll ever forget. One of the few episode to bring a tear to my eye this year. I really hope this series has a strong finish because it has some great individual arcs. |
| what? what the hell happened?!! |
 |
| I bawled at the end. I'm still bawling... Sent with Mal Updater |
 |
| That was sad yet really beautiful ;_____ ; You would think they were evil but turns out they granted his wish to see his mother one last time. This second season has been way better than the first one. |

| Dat ending... T_T all these feels... T_T Ahh, my heart hurts :( This episode should win some reward, it deserves it. I'd say it was the saddest Hakkenden episode ever. Awesome season we're enjoying! parfaited said: Look at how his father was so happy he was finally talking and then that happened. Oh man. This. *hides in a box and sniffs :(* |
 |
| Gosh, this was pretty unexpected. I didn't really think it could be quite... touching. I really like this season so far. The first season was alright, nothing special or really interesting, but it got a lot better. |
| The only thing you can rely on is that you can't rely on anything. |
| Thanks for making me cry, Hakkenden. |
 |
| omg, I actually cried. that was so sad, I couldn't believe it. |

 |
| Wow, I was not expecting such an emotional episode. So many tears. ;_; |
    |
| THE FEELS ,and MAL is back! |
 |
| Nice twist at the end. Didn't cry though. Not even close, and I cry at a lot of anime, just check my list. This episode was alright, but Ill never be really attached to any of the characters |
 |
| I actually cried. |
 |
| I cried. ;_; That's such a sad and beautiful story. |
| I didn't expect that Hakkenden can make me this sad. That was a 5/5 episode. Totally a league of its own. ;_; That OST, too... *shudders* |

| Right when they were finally together again... the tragic truth comes forth and it reveals he died that day looking for those flowers! ;-; A truly heartbreaking twist I never saw coming... </3 |
| The end of this episode was so damn sad.... T_______T Love the BGM that went with it </3 |

| Woah that ending hit unexpectedly hard. That was so sad... |
| Just watched this episode, and it really hits hard. Such a well-written mini-arc. I really cried over this :( So many feels, it's definitely the best ep in the series so far |
| It was heartwarming to see Akihiko reunite with his mother and see his father final embrace him. As for the ending, I had a feeling that he was only alive long enough to see his mother again. I realized it when Shino almost fell off the cliff. I think the saddest part was that his mother was still holding him as he disappeared as if she knew that he had died but his spirit remained so he could see her again one last time. |

| Oh man, the ending was sad T-T |
