| Shiki deserves better. It seems this anime loves to inflict paid and despair on him even in this episode. But yeah, certain characters also have different purposes for him. Either way, Shiki is involved in the center of this arc whether he likes it or not. Sad to see but it's what he has to go through. |
 |
| So theres 8 more like Shiki huh? I hope these Children of Kishin destroy all the Momotaro. I mean they literally got Tsubakiri torturing a poor kid and these guys are suppose to be “heroes” here? Theres not even one redeeming quality amongst these wankers. Pretty glad to see that prick Tsubakiri get deleted. The Oni get a little vengeance this week. Also on a side note, did this mangaka get his start drawing ecchi or hentai or is he just a boobs guy? Because every waifu in this series has a variety of sizes of watermelons lol. |

| Always enormously satisfying when smug pos get blasted after gloating so much. |

Mamoru Oshii There is a cult of ignorance (...) nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that “my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.” Isaac Asimov |
| It's a special pleasure when such trash gets what it deserves and dies, this applies to any type of work, by the way, in this episode they showed the bastard of the next story arc and yes, the amazing logic of the agency calling itself Momotaro, enemies that can pose a threat to you appear when oni become few and the agency kills peaceful peoples, so that someone appears who will send them to reincarnation, thank God, it seems like Hina looks and behaves like a normal character and yes, it's always nice when you can see the author's favorite fetishes, like here. |
| The design for all the female characters in this show is just ridiculous. |
 |
| Shiki transformed by unleashing his Kishin power of Fire and its about time that sadistic Momotaro guy got put in his place by getting blown away. I wonder if he managed to survived that attack. |
 |
| ah classic shounen moment |
| Every girl in this manga got the melon build. Calling the mangaka a boob guy would be an understatement. Tsubakiri really dying like this? Lol, good riddance. He had it more than coming. Cool episode. |

| Although this episode had a lot of hype, it also made me worry about the future of the series... The first part of the episode is spent bringing back that Momotarou that killed Shiki's father (which was rightfully placed, since later in the episode we can see that Shiki ends up wanting to avenge his father's death, by also protecting Mei), and 2 new Momotarou (c'mon, another female character with that kind of body? I know that the manga is like that, but the anime could always tone the designs down a bit), while explaining better what a Kishin's child really is. However, that explanation was a bit weird, because they start by saying that Kishin's children actually only appear when Oni are almost extinct (due to the Momotarou), but later on they say that there alive 8 Kishin's children at a time. This implies there are always 8 Kishin's children, which contradicts what they just said. I suppose the idea is that when these children "Spawn", they spawn in groups of 8. For some reason each children has an elemental power. Not going to lie, this elemental power came out of nowhere, and I'm not really sure what they are supposed to do (in the case of Shiki, it's the fire element, and I guess he can put the Momotarou on fire now? But how was he able to destroy the attack that the Momotarou were using against him?), but I'm giving the anime a vote of hope, since they might explain that better some episodes later. For some moments I thought that Mei would be another Kishin child too, but apparentaly not, she was just there for moral support. Now, moving to the fighting itself, it was good, and I liked Shiki's development and motives. However, it was not the best executed thing ever, for starters, it was a bit of back and forth of like "Shiki gets destroyed and trapped, it thinks about Mei and how he wants to protect her, uses a powerful technique to escape and counterattack, repeat the cycle". They introduced the whole elemental power for him to counterattack, for him to just lose it shortly after because he was badly injured, but 2 minutes later he gets the power once again, because Mei gave him more strenght (since this cycle had already repeated before). But I might say it did contribute to the whole drama and tension of the battle, and it's a really common trope in Shounen. Despite all of this, I really enjoyed the episode, it ended up being one of the most emotional and tense ones, although the Mei's flashbacks with her family felt cheap and didn't had a lot and came with no context whatsoever. Honestly, I don't even mind the hair color change when Shiki goes into the "Enki" form, since at least it is to a color representative of his element, and it's a really older Shounen trope that I'm glad to see again. Also, Tsubakiri was a psychotic piece of trash, so I must say it was good to see him get destroyed by Shiki. Shiki took that grim look out of his face rather quickly. Now, what really made me worry about the future of the anime is the power scalling. I mean, it was already hard enough to belive Shiki was being able to control his blood so well, when in episode 2 it was shown he had 0 control over it, and although we're in episode 10, the anime never spent some episodes in a training arc. If I'm being honest, this whole arc seems to be a bit hasty, it's getting quite serious, when the anime didn't spend any time in setting the world better or giving the MC any time to get better. So now Shiki being able to control his blood so well is a miracle. If that wasn't enough, they decided to make him have this Enki powerup in his like 2nd battle ever. WE'RE ONLY IN EPISODE 10. At this point it seems Shiki is just as powerful as Mudano, since not even Mudano was able to defeat Tsubakiri in the previous encounter, and that's not really good for the anime. It's giving me Naruto Shippuuden vibes in that regard. Maybe Tsubakiri isn't still dead, but still, for someone who had 0 training, and couldn't even control his blood in episode 2, this seems to be excessive. This could have been easily resolved, if he just went into his Oni mode, but I suppose that would bring other problems, considering what Mudano said in episode 2. Anyways, why is the opening of this anime not more popular? Like, I mean, SO FAR FROM WHO I WAS. |

I was actually curious about this too, so I did a little search on the mangaka, and actually, this is his first ever work. He actually was a hairdresser before this. The only other thing I discovered about him is that he "likes to draw good-looking men" and one of his favorite genres in manga is BL, which, being honest, was not what I was expecting, but it sure is a curious backstory to him. |
| Ngl I was half-expecting Mei to be one of the Children of Kishin herself just from all the abuse she was taking. Oni blood powers: Now in elemental flavors! |
| God. Seeing that blonde hair prick blown away was sooo fucking satisfying. Only took a month or so to happen but thank fuck shiki beat his ass and presumably freed Mei. We are all rooting for her to be happy |
 |
| Nice, I'm glad Shiki was able to protect Mei, if something happened to her I would be sad |
  Imouto suki Tsundere-Chuuni-Imoutos save me...   |
| The enki form looks so badass, So there are 7 more children and I bet there are some among Shiki's group. That guy was such Pos, I hope he loses his arm or something. |
 |
| no sexy ass Yomogi 😫😫😫😫😫😫 but... |
   |
| It was interesting to see a little more of the Momotaros. Glad that Shiki managed to defeat Tsubakiri, I hated him. |
| this was an awfully bad episode, I had some expectation before but now all is lost, this went full blown generic, I know it's generic battle shounen from the start but this is an entirely new level of generic, 8 elements, yeah let's separate ice and water lol and they're already blood bending, this is so dumb as for the fight, this mc is so pathetic, he's really trying to talk no jutsu the guy 90% of the episode only to get the power up from power of friendship I guess heart in this case that's so lame, he gets a power up, then falls down again, talk no jutsu again, scream louder = power up again, loli scream louder = power of friendship again, so he gets up only to talk no jutsu again, this episode was 90% talk no jutsu, this episode just pulled so many generic shounen tropes out it's ass, worst of it all is the screaming louder = stronger attack, that's so dumb, also where is he getting the fire or how is he starting it, we have some logic with the blood but this just goes full fantasy now, man this is so disappointing not that I have expectation but the first 9 episodes tricked me into thinking this is okay and not so generic, turns out it's extremely generic |
 |
| this is the peak we talking about !! |
| Almost every girl in this series has big boobs. I do like fanservice, but this appears cheap and forced. |
 |
| 8 children of kishin lol this is obviously not inspired by the jinchurikis from naruto. Anyway these momotaros are really evil huh I bet in the future some of their member would defect to the oni |
 |
| I love the girls in this show Not only the males are cool AF, plenty of busty girls too <3 (Oh yeah, and the haters can go fuck themselves) |
