Maniwani village massacred, Pengi shot directly in the head, and now Togame shot.
Bracing for the crazy fight that is sure to ensue next episode.

On a side note: How may bullets does Emonzaemon have exactly? Since it's a future weapon shouldn't there be a limited amount of bullets?

Damn such a huge cliffhanger damn what a great story first I thought meh that final sword battle was not really to special it was quite an interesting concept of having someone conscience in a sword! But fuck that ninja with the mask kills just everyone was so surprised when he shot Togame :( But now the most epic battle will be unleashed in the next and final episode! I hope she'll live! Lets see how the battle will end!!!

WTF just happened?
Couldn't believe they showed Emonzaemon busting a cap into kawaii Penguin's mouth, but now he's smoked Togame too? Somebody stop the man.
It can't end like this.

Fuck...She's probably going to die judging by this episode and those wounds. Just like Episode 11 said at the halfway mark

I really, really expected more from the last 2 remaining Maniwani heads. Houou being praised for his fighting ability ever since his introduction and Pengin being said to be able to surpass Houou gave me some hope for good fights from them but it just didn't happen. They died pretty much just as pathetically as all the other Maniwani heads.
Togame being shot certainly is a big thing but somehow... i wasn't that surprised. I do hope this sets the stage for an amazing battle between emonzeimon and shichika but it just might not happen. Considering there haven't been any memorable fights so far except for Nanami vs. Maniwani.

Nevertheless, I do expect a good ending!

Some backstory, appreciated.
So I guess a part of Emonzaemon was taken by Houou and that's why he think they are the same. Nice fight btw.
Pengin died, didn't really care.
The part with Houou-Shikizaki Kiki was nice, though the fight wasn't anything special unfortunately.

TOGAME!!! NOOOOO!!! I wonder if "they" will kill her off or not, both would be a "good" way to go, but I really hope she doesn't die.
Man Shichika is fucking pissed for a good reason. I can't wait to see Shichika fucking destroy Emonzaemon. I hope that they will make this the best fight yet.
Btw, they have Bita (or whichever Nanami used to strengthen herself), couldn't they use it to make her heal?

That ending!

I was all "oh no Pengin :(' but then Togame one-upped him.
I have as an 8/10 right now and if she actually dies I might even consider raising this to a 9.

The final episode looks awesome.
Though you can't trust previews in this show lol.

Holy shit. That was a loaded episode.

The way Emonzaemon killed Pengui was cruel, but clever. The last scene of the fight gave me shivers...

So we pretty much learned the whole story behind Kiki Shikizaki. They were prophet, but in the end, he couldn't saw how Shichika was going to kill him. That's a shame. But I liked what he said, the whole point of the family being to change the future. I mean if you were able to see the future, wouldn't it be boring if you couldn't change it?

I didn't though that Emonzaemon would shoot her like that. I hope she don't die :(

There's still a lot of question though :

- Who is in reality princess Hitei?

- What's her goal?

- What was Togame really planning to do with the perverted katana?

Anyway, I hop Shichika beat Emonzaemon ass, even if I must admit that I kinda liked him, for an enemy :P

This whole episode was a total mess
first that pengin thing
I mean come on, his ability was that he can dodge everything, INCLUDING the ball that is bouncing around the room and yet when this guy reflects his bullets from the walls he still gets shot
that shikizaki kiki thing was the most anticlimactic thing I've ever seen too

Pretty Twisted. RIP Pengin, you didn't deserve that sickening fate.

Honestly this show reminds me of Shakugan no Shana (not a good thing) in that the supposed villains (Tomogara) are actually the victims, with the majority of anime fans supporting them. I feel the same with the Maniwa Corps, I liked every one of them (Chouchou and Pengin in particular), and was rooting for them to atleast survive. Unfortunately they all get brutally slaughtered.

It seems that I am not the only one more bothered by Pengin's death than Togame getting shot. In fact judging by the comments more people are unhappy with the way Pengin was handled and ultimately slaughtered than the series Main "Protagonist" getting shot.. Go figure.

Pretty good episode. But i have to say this anime is in between a 6-7 for me. It's just okay. Fights are usually underwhelming. And the characterization is not very good. I really like the animation though.

"However, they had no way of knowing that historically, the end of any journey is the end of everything."

;-;

That was a really good episode. I felt like the Shikazaki Kiki "possession" felt a bit cheap. Other than that, the tonal shift was well done. Pengin's death was horrific; ninja or not, he was a child, and that is an incredibly gruesome and sad way to go. The ending gave be chills.

It seems they'll be focusing on the history theme, and the purpose behind the creation of Shikizaki's ties into it. Ironically, Togame's death is returning history to "how it should have been" before Shikizaki altered the future, as Togame's father's death would have "set things right" had he killed her too. I can't help but wonder if Shichika will end up destroying all of Shikizaki's blades.

...ALL of Shikizaki's blades.

Oh god that was just too cruel.. the poor little maniwani penguin. :(
That was quite the easy win against Shikizaki Kiri. I thought it would be tougher.
The thing I feared most happened.. shitttttt. In this case just kill them all Shichika.
I couldn't even get a last cheerio ?? NOOOOOOOO..!!!! ToT
The journey was fun while it lasted. *sobs*

I mean i knew Togame's death was coming already thanks to being spoiled all the way back at episode 7.
BUT FUCK MAN. I really liked her! Screw this show =[

The voiceover I do not like, it seems a bad omen, the singer of a tragic ending. I hope I'm wrong, but the end of the episode is not very ....

La voz en off no me gusta, parece un mal augürio, el cantante de un final trágico. Espero equivocarme, aunque el final del episodio tampoco es muy....
