Was I the only one that thought: Unlimited Fans Works when Hirata was surrounded by fans? xD

I'm still wondering why ancient Japanese spells are activated by yelling an English word...


I guess because many spells have been improved in modern times and just like how Chinese terms entered Japanese exorcism in past, so did the English ones here (that is, the Japanese use them because they sounds cool XD ).

Well the in-series history says that Yakou incorporated foreign magic techniques and spells aside from existing Japanese belief systems like Buddhism and Shintoism into ancient Onmyoudo creating Imperial Omyoudou and fathering modern Japanese magic. So it's not purely Japanese nor purely Onmyoudo but a mix of different systems from different parts of Japan and the world incorporated into traditional Onmyoudo. Thus some English spell words.

Awesome episode!!!

A tense moment between Harutora and Reiji about the battle and something is strange about that exorcist like I expected. That familiar of Reiji's is getting even more dangerous by the minute. The fight between Amami and Hirata was very good and the 12 Divine Generals really are amazing. I was a bit confused at the end as I never expected Hirata to turn into Takiko or is am I missing something?

Next episode will be very good!!

5/5

Awesome episode, but it seems like Harutora still has a long way to go when compared to the badasses they have been showing lately in this series. I wonder if they'll pull something like him getting really powerful in a short amount of time, hopefully not. If they do, I hope they pull it off well so it doesn't feel inconsistent with what we know about him as a character.




Yeah, I agree...and Kagami also notice it and maybe, that's the reason why he motivated Harutora in order for him to overcome his negative thoughts of being a failure of the Tsuchimikado Family. HE just need to control it..

Takiko was Hirata all along! Good for a plot-twist, didn't expected her to be Yakou follower. If producing onmyou mage was Yakou's will, I wonder what was his other will.

Zlich, you need to let the show provide those answer for audience itself. Only when it leaves out things that it doesn't plan to address should answer with spoiler tags. Unless of course some one wants to know something from the LN.

Wow, that was pretty damned mind blowing that "Atsune" is Takiko Souma. Of course, there's a small chance of Atsune being seperate, since they're two different characters on MAL, but then it's the same with Natsume/Hokuto.

I'm glad Amami won, I didn't want to see him lose so easily. I had a feeling he still had something up his sleeve...

つまんないつまんないつまんない

... is not what this episode was. We knew that Hirata was a Yakou devotee, and I had suspicions that he was not quite on the side of the twin horn syndicate. But he is Takiko? That was unexpected. And he, or rather, she, put up a very tough fight against Daizen - and probably would have won, were it not for Daizen being able to make such complete preparations in advance.

What exactly is Reiji up to?

And that guy in the school is a Yakou devotee as well? Those guys get everywhere.

And just who the hell actually is Takiko?

Very strong mind games in this episode. I actually thought that the old man was gonna lose to Hirata. But it was in the old man's plans all along. Even better is the fact that Hirata is actually Takiko, the character introduced in the last episode. The plot slowly unwinds.

Vintage is best! XD
The episode proved to be interesting and engaging, the plot leads to finally figure out something to me, too, and the narrative conveys a sense of satisfaction with a clash very nice! Very happy! * _ *
Drawings good, but not great, a pity. Animations a little woody? I can not say more because streaming what I've seen is useless to evaluate the thing with so much nit-picking! ^ ^ "

It hasn't.

The story sometimes has events that viewed from more multiple perspectives to bring the overall plot together. This episode for example had Amami learning more about Twin Horn Syndicate and exposing Hirata as Takiko in a way no other character could have done.

It's not a new technique in storytelling or anything.

Awesome fight, very nice use of tactics and tricks by the Director/Amami. I knew one of the top Divine Generals there was no way he could be so easily defeated. We learned quite a bit of information of the Twin Horn Syndicate as well. I hope to see Kagami's familiar in action next episode.

First it was Ootomo kicking ass, now it's the old man Amami. The recent turn of events and the thickening of the plot behind the Twin Horn Syndicate has been an interesting one and this series has fully grabbed my attention now.

Great episode!! I know the beginning was not suppose to be funny but I totally laughed right before they were about to start the investigation and as soon as that guy at the desk heard his name, he jetted out the door and down the hall. I mean he totally dipped out! Then there was cute adorable Kon purifying the air with salt xD
Loved it. The fight scene was also great, add a nice lil twist at the end. This show seems to get better and better.

What's with this Yakou Devotees!? Its like they're the main antagonist of story. so many villains connected to them .. Seems Yakou created both good and bad at the series.
Dem Right!! Hirata's plans was revoked!
Divine Fan looks really a good Tactician .
Souma is hirata!? dem Cliffhanger in the end.
about time Harutora show some moves. (next episode i guess)
Good episode!!!
