as expected yaiba is gonna lose one of his friends one by one but they all survive in the final trial to make yaiba choose if he is gonna sacrifice the dragon orb or his friends

yaiba should choose to save his friends here because he already suffered when they have fake deaths one by one

also the yaiba x sayaka romantic ship is sailing good

I don't believe for a bit that they die in the first place but what matter the most is that Yaiba believe it and it's quite devastating to see him losing his friends one by one.

With so many sacrifices, one after another, Yaiba is able to get through the different trials. It was a rollecoaster of emotions even though I had to feeling that they would all be okay. Good catch on the maze by Musashi and that realization Yaiba had of how much he cares for Sayaka but the other way around made that last bit much more impactful.

We're in the last stretch so what remains is obtaining the orb and a sakuga fight against Onimaru. Let's go.

If we're talking about this season alone, 2 more episodes left. And since it's full anime adaptation of the manga, I'd say there's still at least 40-50 more episodes to be properly adapt the whole thing.

@MahiaErebeaNegi Wait, does it really go on for that long?

Imagine if all the friends really died along the way... but well now it's even worse for Yaiba because he has to choose between saving all of his friends or getting the ryujin orb, not both :(

@rasterman7 Yeah, the manga has 255 chapters in total which equate to at least three 24 episodes seasons (based on the current pacing so far). Even the old anime has 52 episodes in total and it took 35 episodes for the old anime to reach this part of the story.


The only thing I can say here is that the series would keep introducing new characters to give excuses for Yaiba and Onimaru becoming even stronger until their actual fight happened in the second-to-last arc lol.

This was an intense episode!
Only two more episodes left, I hope we get a second season announcement soon! This has been a hidden gem for me.

@MahiaErebeaNegi Hmmm I see. Maybe it will get to that point. Thanks for the info.

Great episode, sacrifices were made, but I have a sneaking suspicion we haven't seen the last of Yaiba's crew.

@MahiaErebeaNegi Have they ever actually confirmed that this season would end after two cour? There's still no end point listed on any logging site from what I've seen, and Episode 23 will almost assuredly end up adapting the first couple chapters of the next arc, with 24 definitely being dedicated to that arc.

@Otaku-Aniki I would assume it's gonna be 2-cour so 2 eps left in that case but apparently it's doing decent on TV so probably gonna have a second 2 cour season somewhat soon for a total of 48 eps
It's only a passing thing, this shadow. Even darkness must pass. A new day will come. And when the sun shines it will shine out the clearer.

This episode was perfect! As expected, the friends went bye bye one by one. It was all very emotional. Sayaka's sacrifice, in particular, really touched me! <3

When it comes to Yaiba's dilemma, though, I don't really believe the orb will be lost when he chooses to save his friends. IMO, it's all a test to see if the challenger in question is pure of heart or something like that. I think he'll chose them and win the orb. I do wonder what the final test would be had he shown up alone, though. (Or imagine someone like Onimaru, who hates his subordinates, was in the same position, lol!)
