Faaantastic episode.

I see that they [the producers? Or writers? Whoever...] tried to get Asano to redeem himself in the eyes of the audience, at the end there. I still kind of have to agree with other commenters in that I hope he's finally out of the series.

At the same time... I won't be too surprised if he comes back. Nor too disappointed, since it seems like he actually was kind of coming to his senses there. And even if he didn't die, maybe Youko can find some way to throw him back to Japan.

Asano still shot that kid and worked for the guy who killed Seishuu....stiill a dick in my book.

But Shoukou is out of commission for now, time to get Gahou and is band of losers.

Still not enough to redeem yourself, Asano.

Man, Asano is just another normal human who doesn't know anything. I don't see anything wrong with that.

I was supporting Asano through all this arc. lol Maybe because I didn't care for the child and I found it funny when he started spouting nonsense.

Because the animation team somehow thought that he would add something to the series, but we see how that turned out.

The final stretch of this arc is upon us. I wish the rest of the arcs were more like this one, or the second half of the first arc.
Matsuoka Yoshitsugu has hardly any range as a voice actor, and is grossly over-cast.

Yeah. I said it.

Keep the action coming.

This anime itself confirms Asano is useless. I can't wait to see the girls' reaction when they find out who the queen is.

Another great episode. Asano's story just seems unnecessary.

Asano is actually useful for something, it just scared me xD
Wait a minute Asano can speak their language?

So Asano died of nothing?
Poor original character :(

Asano is bad shooter.

That would be a tragic ending for Asano.

Asano's transformation from carefree to psycho was really scary. Hope he survives and goes back to his nature.

why doesnt she just order the army to stop attacking, if they listen to shouko they will listen to her, all she has to do take her youmas out and prove she is the emperor. also why asano sometimes talks to people and then again doesnt understand the language. makes no sense.

Please let Asano be dead. He actively drags this arc down.

Asano probably died there. There was something melancholy about that resigned, bitter laugh he had when he came to terms with it, and it did elicit some sympathy. However, it's still jarring to see him go from a gun-toting crazed killer to an altruistic messenger all of a sudden, as if the anime was in a rush to kill him off.

I don't understand why Shoukei says that she has met Asano previously...this should've been her first time seeing him & recognizing he's a foreigner. I only remember Kantai meeting Asano while saving his group from bandit attack.
Can someone please help me remember the point where Shoukei met with Asano.
