Damn, Jinbei doesn't stand a chance in that fight ;.; poor him. I was hoping he would do better in that fight to be honest.

Some past stuff revealed about Mushibugyou this episode. Damn, that looked painful also. I don't think the humans lost entirely just yet though.

Nice episode. Very sad what happened to her.
I wonder if we'll ever get to see Jimbei's white fox transformation again.

I'm pretty sure that Jinbei will dive back in to the well.

Well, that does it for me. Tsukishima x Princess Naa/Mushibugyo is my OTP for this series. Kind of wish we'd see more badass Tsukishima with the beast-like transformation again.

Watching Kuroageha's past was sad to watch. She was cute as a child though. Jinbei should be able to figure out that Kuroageha, or Princess Naa is an insect. But whether he will or not remains to be seen.^^

I think Jinbei will probably jump back into the well whilst Mugai dukes it out with Yukimura. I'm looking forward to that fight.

Will we see Jinbei's transformation? Hmm, I like to think that we will, especially considering the fact that we have 2 episodes left.

That moment between Jinbei and Kuroageha was touching. I actually thought that she was going to tell him that she's the Mushibugyou. I guess she'll never find the right time to tell him, oh well. XD

This episode was exciting to watch.

EPIC EPISODE!!!! Damn this series has been so amazing lately! I started with a 7, then up to an 8 and now 9. I'm sure it won't reach 10 no matter what since it has quite a few nip ticks here and there but still, really amazing series and one of the most underrated ever!!!

KuroagehaxJinbei definitely OTP. Their interactions are just <3
And that sweet holding hands moment >_<

Poor Kuroageha. Her past was so sad T_T and Brutal O_O, Didn't expect her to have already died once. I wonder if all Insect-men have already died once and were revived by those strange type insects?

I'm sure she won't lose her memories...right?! T^T
Anyway, Plz let Jinbei go White Fox mode!!

Once they left behind the bug of the week episodes and started on the main arc this became a very serviceable little series. I have every confidence that we are about to see a white fox mode for Jinbei after he retrieves the princess from the well.
Please don't feed the trolls!

So does the anime follow the original manga? I think I saw a few pages some time ago and I can bet that Tsukishima was in the white berserker mode while Ooka was still fighting with one arm lost at the top of the castle.

Can someone confirm that?

@Fufexx
Jinbei is in his Fox mode before Mugai kills Saizo but after Ooka dies.
It's pretty much followed the manga but has left stuff out in order to reach the end of this arc.

I expect these final 2 episodes to be mostly anime only stuff based on the preview.


*** SPOILERS BELOW ***


For the most part yes it follows the manga but changes things slightly. But looking at the episode 25 preview I think it's gonna do it's own thing for the ending due to Kuroageha being on Jinbei's back and it looking like they are running away while Mugai fights Sanada.

In the manga
Jinbei should have left the well in his Fox mode after Kuroageha faints, she never pushes him away and the magics inside the well are what separates him from her and triggers his transformation. Sanada originally stops Kuroageha from going into the well, no idea why as I cant read the raws and then the well itself appears to grab her from Sanada and drag her in with Jinbei diving in after her.

Mugai vs. Saizo was a little longer as well. we see Saizo's flashback to how he joined Sanada

Kuroageha doesn't leave the well until after Jinbei/Mugai vs. Sanada and she has her powers back. while in the preview we see her on Jinbei's back and they appear to be running away which never happens.

Noooo the princess, her past was so sad, she wiped out her own parents.

Sanada is really strong, as expected, also he was hinting some stuff about some insect King.

Looking forward to the next episode, especially if Mugai vs Sanada is coming up.

Omg.. the dreaded.....LOST MEMORIES PACT......*sighs*

Good ep I guess.. 2 more to go, hope its an okay ending and not a gag one.. Now I can only assume Princess Naa is going to be dead by the end, or her and Tsukishima are gonna part ways altogether.

Mugai still doesn't fail to amaze me. Badass ever! And quite a sad past for the Princess. But that scene at the well between them is sweet. Jinbei is just a very cheerful and positive fella. Now, just waiting for him to transform!

Am I the only one who can't stop listening to the OP song? That's one of the most catchy OP of the year so far lol.
bla bla bla
The endless debate between fans and haters. At one point, after spending a lot of time on MAL, you just realize it's totally pointless.

Same here! Hated it at first, but in the end, it was better than the first OP. and I love the beginning portion of the ED~

Mushibugyou T^T omg such a sad past!! but I'm wondering why Yukimura refers to her as Princess as well? I mean she was a human princess turned insect. The question now is what makes her insect type special?

The little insect that Mushibugyou saved when she was a little girl just reminds me of Nausicaa, also about a little princess saving an insect that most people don't love. But what different outcome it results !!!
So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old?

I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them?

I wonder how long people would put up with this.

As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series.

Wow. Such a sad past, for Princess Naa. I was moved better than I am expecting.

I see. So that is the power of Mugai's blade, as expected of the badass of this anime.

If Yukimura is this strong now, I wonder how he will be after his transformation.
Also, who is that "King"?

Aw, Oooka still in the OP :(

And the last two Mushibito just shed their skins..
Can't they just beat them before they shed their skins like Tenma did to "Justice" Mushibito? xD

Sad past is sad..
White hair = her old age / the sign that her power sealed??
I'm waiting for Jinbei's black white transformation!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Summary of the preview : Hibachi's loincloth xD
Everyone love her loincloth.. Human & Mushibito.. Even the bugs

Sigh, I don't like the whole thing.
Side character: -arm gets blown off, bleeding and shit-
Main character: -took few hits, didn't even get knocked out-

Edit: I wonder if the king is Yukimura's master, forgot his name.
