Yikes, not only is the city in trouble but Kousetsu is part of the problem now too. Or is she? Honestly, this episode felt mixed to me with the pacing.

The interesting thing is that she did play her role as a spy and also Kido's daughter. I bet she'll also have an important role in the final few episodes.

Turns out Tsuda's Character is behind everything bad that happened, including Kishimaru's murder, he wants to end all ninjas and overall he is cartoonishly evil. I wouldn't think too deeply about it because it was expectable.

Kousetsu's story was finally revealed. She was unknowingly a spy sent by Koga. As we all expected, she wasn't the one who actually struck Fumiko.
There still are slight chances, that Fumiko is actually alive and fake her death for the sake of Ittoki's character development, so he would prove his worth as leader.
I personally suspect Glasses Lady to be the traitor. She has a reason to betray because of her comatose husband.

Kousetsu didn't kill Yumika and nor did Iga kill Kouga head as expected. Kido's behind it all. Kousetsu reveal was okay. Anyway hope they can resolve the issue fast.

I'm a little bit disappoint that I won't get to see the school part anymore.

I'm worrying if we can remove microchip from Kousetsu 'safely'?

so it's confirmed that kousetsu didn't kill yumika which means kousetsu is safe now.

i can smell the buddy-ship between ittoki and that red haired dude. red haired dude now has evidence against kidou, maybe he will change sides now (hopefully).

i'm still hoping that ittoki uses the secret ninja core and beats their koga asses otherwise ittoki will just remain a mostly useless and un-OP MC.


The end of an era. Thank you Wit, Mappa and Isayama.

Watching every week hoping it would get better, now only two episodes left, story is barely scratched and they will probably rush it and that is it.
On Crunchy people often mention manga in comments and here Mal says it has no source, so anyone knows what's the real truth?

Great call from last week's episode regarding Kousetsu not being the killer. I hope you're right about the mom being alive but I do have some doubts. It was a little hard watching this episode with having the mom's funeral and Kousetsu wanting to kill herself and taking full responsibility.

I do wonder if both Suzaku (red haired guy whose father got murdered) and Kirei will turn on Koga but I still think that Kirei will have to face a reckoning from being a traitor even though she's also going through betrayal herself. This anime has improved from the beginning and it's a shame it took a while to get better as there's only 2 episodes left and it could've been more popular.

Damn man I’m still sick they got rid of yumika like that. I wasn’t expecting this show to go in that direction. Seeing Kousetsu cut up like that about killing the chief was also tuff. Seems so cruel to have her kill the person she’s spent her whole life protecting.

Kidou having killed their chief and using it as justification for war was the least surprising thing ever lmao.

Only took 10 episodes and his mother’s death but ittoki has finally come into his own and is going to be his own person.

This ep was sad but with interesting revelations.
I bet Raiha is the traitor, but maybe there's someone else.
Also I could see Ittoki leaving Kousetsu as the new clan leader as her "punishment" or just to stay with him (I believe at the end all the ninja world will disappear).

This is where I'm at with his character.

A lot of interesting ideas with this series, but completely let down/held back by the protagonist. I feel that the overarching Koga plot, Tokisada, and Itotoki's mother have been what held this series together for me, and sadly 2 of those things are gone now with the death of Ittoki's mother, and the death of the Koga plot in favor of whatever this cartoonishly evil sickly man is trying to accomplish now.
Matsuoka Yoshitsugu has hardly any range as a voice actor, and is grossly over-cast.

Yeah. I said it.

Who didn't see Kidou being the mastermind to the Kouga head's murder? It was pretty predictable by this point.

Also, agreed that the main character is nothing to write home about, but it's really the other characters I stayed for.

Raiha is the traitor. Been saying it the past few weeks. And honestly Kirei shouldn't be off the list either. She's a RAT as well.

Though she'll most likely be forgiven.

I hate how Suzaku will end up surviving. I just laughed when he showed up to the Funeral and called Ittoki a Coward lol.

Kousetsu no mask again though. *thumbs up*

Well damn.

Who knew that Kousetsu was the daughter of head honcho scumbag Kidou. It's kinda messed up how Koga clan would resort to using dirty tactics. Implanting micro chips into the brain and brainwash them.

Kousetsu did nothing wrong. She was used. Free my womans.

As this type of archetype of the protagonist annoys me, it looks so fake, nobody and I repeat nobody takes the fact that your mother is murdered in front of your eyes so calmly, to top it off everyone sees her idiot face, Kirei did rich asshole and now they betray him, name, the white-haired woman turned out to be the daughter of the rival clan and killed the mother for a mental control, and the heir son of the rival clan has the tremendous webotes of going to the funeral of the mother of the nose, how barbaric that disrespect, it would have even occurred to me to send the white-haired woman on a suicide mission to see if she died, the protagonist would need to discover that the traitor was the blonde and she would go directly to the gallows, and as for the heir son, Well, I'm telling you, I'm literally going to slaughter your clan at the expense of mine, but once it's all over... let's settle the score, take your uncle's place and pretend nothing happened, only if you let me chief of your uncle and the high command of your clan and we are tied s.

but the man must follow the path of good because he is good, but he hears, there is no need to be good either, confusing the imbecility, frustrating that he cannot impose himself in front of his family and they pressure him making him appear weak.

In short, ask the best ninja in your clan to train you for a while so that you are very strong and speak to the war, that would give this anime a better development.

With Ittoki's mom Yumika unceremoniously dying at the hands of Kousetsu, given her stature, it's clear as molasses that she wasn't the one who instigated the attack, but definitely someone behind the scenes.

Given the Koga clan and Kidou's perchance at domination, Ban's unrelenting waver to kill off the Iga clan at all costs, he would seem like a perfect fit for Kidou's vision, but the way that things are, it's one foot off and one foot on the pedal. Ittoki really has no choice but to make decisions on the fly, especially with Kousetsu being the traitor to the common folk and is something that Shione flagged up to Tokisada.

This is further evidence that the first girl Ittoki saw (Satomi Tsubaki) was part of the Koga through the cahoot relationship between the NSC's head Karajishi and Kidou, all children from mistresses implanted with a microchip for mind control and brainwashing. And Kousetsu's past is tragic, being the child of a dead mistress with Kidou and taken in by Yumika at the behest of Tokisada, who've seen her grow up.

As expected, both Ryoko and Kirei's parents paid the price for even showing up at the Koga meeting, and got their just desserts being friend nor foe. This is true even for Ban who lost his own father in the process, only to find a hidden SD card hiding all of the conversation between his father and Kidou, with the aim for world domination.

One letter of a declaration of war, and Ittoki still is at the point of thinking what's good for everyone. Like seriously, what can you come up with now?

This story went full speed ahead, forgetting to tell a story, and is only aiming for the finish line now. Just let this horrible show end soon...

Squuuepis are flying! Honestly, on 32g sdis card they could of at least captured a better image. But the story rules all, and the great squeepig demands story, and so we continue unto the penultimate eps! I just hope they dont tease the ultimate core and it not being used and then there is no 2nd series!

it's getting interesting, I see reviews and comments complaining about the slow pace of the story but I like the build up, also why does everyone expect ittoki to be this badass ninja right away??? he didn't even know he was one in the first place??? PEOPLE NEED TO GIVE TIME AND CHANCE FOR A CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT.

I have high hopes for Ittoki but I'm basically rooting for Kousetso and some other secondary characters, we need some redemption arc for a lot of them! Can't wait to see more from this animé

Kidou is truly being twisted af. After the attack against all the village, you all can just be united your whole ass already smh. So theres another traitor still hide inside Iga, and Kousetsu was Kidou child. Damn, what a sudden unexpected revelation ngl. Interesting to see how Ittoki plan work. Is he gonna use Iga secret ninja core and do the countermeasure attack against Kidou suppressing matters? Let's hope its not something so lame too. Really looking forward to see the next!

I cant believe even I saw that coming from like ep. 1

Also Suzaku waltzing his way into Yumika's funeral??? WTF? You're at war with the Koga and you just let in one of his members to be alone with your inexperienced leader right after they killed your former one? (Even if Tokisada was there watching, it's an useless risk). This is ridiculous lmao

Well, this show has my attention now. Better late than never, I guess. As the show races towards the endgame, Ittoki is forced to shoulder the burden of leadership and do whatever he can in order to protect the people he cares about.

I'm glad that Ittoki is finally taking steps towards becoming the leader his village needs him to be. I just wish his development wasn't such a slow burn. I can only hope this show reaches a satisfying conclusion.

I don't see the rationale that Ittoki is holding the series back.
The writing in general for the series is just bad, he's only a symptom of it, but even without him this would still be a poorly written series with shallow world building.
