----------------------------------------
Wow this episode was quite something.

Both Yukine and Yato are beginning to experience a bit of an anxiety with what's to come. Didn't really like Nora's presence in this episode. I feel like every time she shows up, trouble follows....

Very thrilling episode.
Bishamon's hate and intention to get rid of Yato is quite serious imo. I like how the show still has some room for comedy though. Aiha needs to chill out.

That girl who is aloof is the one who got infected?! So the "doctor" already took precautions and hide her infection and Sawashiro-san's character.

First time seeing HiroC's character being blushed, but ruined it with normal talk that annoys the main girl. The "doctor" already set it to affect KajiKaji's character, HiroC's character, as well as ruining relations between Sawashiro-san's character and FukuJun's character.

That girl that got infected came to attack HiroC's character, with the help with the "doctor", when he cannot use KajiKaji's character. FukuJun's character just realized that he's not her shinki, and got caught along with main girl's soul.

Man that breakdown from Yukine was really sad.....I feel bad for all of Bishamon's regalia's too and I love you Bishamon and all but you need to open your god damn eyes and smell the coffee

This entire episode was something but that ending part was really intense and it sucks to see Hiyori and Bishamon's right hand get captured by that annoying priest...But the Yato x Hiyori moments were cute though

Well things continue to get worse rather rapidly, all while Bishamon remains oblivious. Seriously she has got to be one of the most incompetent characters from an anime I take seriously that I've seen in a long time. And no amount of tragic flashbacks we're no doubt about to get will improve my opinion of her. She deserves to die. All I could think of was how that Old Dude god with his harem should scold the hell out of her for being so dumb. Thankfully Yukine did it in his place. That was pretty great.

The feels are strong with this episode.

I absolutely adore this episode. I think it's best one so far. Yukine's reaction was really well done, and it was truly sad. I actually felt bad for him, for Kazuma and for all of Viina's Shinki. Yato was also great with both his serious moments and comedic relief moments. I always liked how this arc showed that Yato is really a god and not just some homeless jersey guy who see phantoms adn just happens to be able to fight, and the anime also shows is pretty well so far, although he still has his struggles (Nora...).

Bishamon, on the other hand, is completely blind of what is going on around her. Sure, that Kugaha bastard fooled her, but she was blind long before that. I don't envy Kazuma for having to have to deal with her when she was like that.

I also felt that the pacing of this ep was better than the previous ones.

Well, I love this episode and I can't wait for next one. It's going to be intense.

Intense ep. Kuguha's such a scumbag. He's a pretty awesome antagonist tho with all his charisma and the way he's pretty much manipulating Bisha and her Regalia.

Lots of BA Yato moments too. Loved his fight but that was also a bait to take Hiyori hostage DAMMIT! Dat YatoxHiyori scene at the start was so adorable tho <3 Blushing Yato and Hiyori were cute. And Yato calling Daikoku, "Daikoku papa" was lol

Poor Yukine. Must've felt like shit knowing Suzuha's dead and then being the cause for Kazuma to be exiled. Bisha's impulsive nature is gonna be the end of her one of these days. Good thing she held back from discarding Kazuma's name. Well that worked against him later on tho ^^;

Loving the pacing. Makes the ep full of intensity with no time to catch ur breath. I guess we might actually be getting Ebisu a this rate. Can't wait for the Bisha flashbacks.

Kugaha is an annoying villain and all, but I have more issues with the fact that Bishamon is an absolute moron. How the hell does she not realise that everything she's doing is playing into Kugaha's hands? And why should I care about Yato killing all of her Regalia before when she's neglecting most of the ones she has now? I know that she won't, but I seriously want her to die.

This episode must also be the first time that I have actually agreed with Yukine about something, what with that rant of his against Bishamon.

Damn,Kugaha is so lucky.In the end he didn't have to lift a finger to remove Kazuma because Yukine pretty much unwittingly did it for him.Now that Kazuma is gone nothing is standing in Kugaha's way getting rid of Bishamon.

Bishamon is really paying the price of owning too much shinki to the point where she forgets them,they become jealous of each other while some even seem to hold grudges against her like in Kugaha's case.Yukine might be on to something when he said there wasn't anything familial about Bishamon and her family of Shinki.

It's interesting that Kugaha is a stray yet when they were checking for ayakashi taints he had only one name on his body.But I guess if he was able to fix that shinki with the ayakashi,hiding extra names must be easy.

Poor Hiyori being caught up in this mess :(

I don't like how this adaptation is presenting Bishamon to be more naive than she was in the manga. Sure, she got tricked by Kugaha all the same in the end, but he had to work a bit more before he could trick her. Yet here, he did it almost effortlessly.

From a standalone perspective, this was a decent episode. But if Bones keep cutting corners for the next arcs, it may not end very well.

Loved this episode, although not really loving Bishamon. I get that she is all trying to do a nice thing by picking up so many souls, but really the way that she ends up treating them afterwards even if it wasn't on purpose is just messed up. It's like getting a dog then forgetting to feed it all the time. So I was really happy when Yukine blew up on her with the cold hard truth.

I'm soooo ready to see Bishamon Vs. Yato

Most memorable moment: Yukine setting off on Bishamon. I was cheering the whole time.

Edit: Kugaha freaks me the fuck out. That expression me made when he "slumbered" Kazuma

Great episode as usual! Man kazuma was kicked out and now hiyori is kidnapped.... Aw man I hate that doc. Using that girl and killing yukine's friend..
I hope bishamon finally realizes that yato is her savior like what kazuma has been saying. I really hope he tells the other regalia's about what happened in the past too.

Finally, Hiyori's promise scene. It seems they're pacing the show really fast, perhaps the Ebisu arc will take place this season, unless they add another random enemy like Rabo that wasn't in the manga.

Didn't Yato know that something was fishy with Kuguha? I was expecting him to bring it up when Kazuma turned up.

Damn that was intense. I was relieved when it seemed that Kazuma saved the day by paralyzing Kuguha, but he got neutralized instead. I wonder what Kuguha intends to do with Hiyori :(

Judging from the fact that Ebisu is in the poster and in the OP I guess that we'll definitely see Ebisu arc. Fujisaki also appears in OP, though not as much as Ebisu.

EDIT: I personally think that thsi season will cover up to chapter 39.

Kugaha is such a great villain you just hate him more and more for every second he is on screen.
Oh and also Yato being sneaky af trying to hide in a trash can.
That was the most hilarious moment of this season so far.

Good thing Kazuma's name wasn't revoked. But seriously, if they survive this, Bishamon needs to learn to start being honest and not keeping all her feeling bottled up inside. If that's how she's always been, it's a wonder she survives as the greatest God of War that long

Lol Yukine's tricking Yato with that maiubo XD

Man, that episode was really good. Yukine's words to Bishamon were annoying (mostly to Yuki Kaji's voice, but that's not surprised me), but very true. She disappoints me, I though that she was more competent, but she is manipulated by Kugaha like a puppet, and poor Kazuma for being exiled, I really like him.

And speaking of Kugaha, I love him. He is a great bastard and a good manipulator, truely a nice antagonist. Also dat face when he watch Kazuma's expulsion:



That pink haired shinki was only an jealous bitch, I think that she was a good character opposing to Kuraha when I saw the opening the first time, but nah.

P.S: The selenderman faces are really annoying.
