That episode ending was..unexpected.

And I don't know if there is a reference here to the classic Spaghetti Western "The Good, The Bad and the Ugly", were the Good knows where the name of the grave were the treasure is buried, but only the Bad knows which cementery it is. I wouldn't be surprised though if it's originally a Sengoku period story and Sergio Leone read it somewhere and used it in his film. In any case, it should provide quite the action/drama next episode.

The ending made me kinda lol'd, I'm interested to know how Nobunaga's face will be, I mean if he's old or still young and gained immortality and vampirism from a stone mask. (who gets the reference is a good guy)

Another interesting episode. Nice to see even enormous bara men get daunted by enormous bara dogs wearing armour. I'm sort of curious as to how that beast just waltzing into the capital actually went down. That jittering woman announcing Nobunaga's arrival in the flashback was hilarious too, omg. I knew it had to be something impressive from the way she looked like she was about to piss herself, and then that facial hair.

I wasn't entirely sure, because I didn't read the manga or watch the 2012 series yet, but I figured a reference from you would have to be about Dio just from watching the Stardust Crusaders OVAs lol.

You're a good guy then, but you would be even better if you watch the 2012 series or read the manga, which I really recommend if you're looking for a smart shounen with seinen traits.

<---Good guy. Plus even when he dies, Nobunaga's not dead lol.

Another great one. I loved the moment with Nobunaga taking the Jizo and his death. Those flames were nicely animated, I'm glad they were moving this episode lol.

Man did not see that coming. You don't go to Nobunaga's grave and not get haunted by Nobunaga. He's such a sadistic genius.

The tension between Jirobo and Sagen was crazy, I can't wait to see how this situation plays out.

The way Nobunaga refuses to die reminds me of the Onimusha game lol.
