| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Ikki vs Kuraudo this episode. And I have to admit, the fight scenes were longer than I had expected. Plenty of action for their confrontation.  I think Kuraudo is the one that is surprised this episode after Ikki unleashed his powers. Never underestimate. Dat Ikki/Stella moments though. |
 |
| Good episode, as usual. I didn't expect Ikki made that grin face and, that last minute fight was awesome! |
 Lol people calling Ikki Jesus last episode when he make face like madman here. |
 Kickstarter for Rokujouma is fully funded. Good work everyone. Lets wait for the result of our hard work together. |
| Definitely best endcards this season |

AP24 said: Fight was good and to be honest the way Ikki was blocking the attacks in the anime made more sense than the way Ikki did it in the LN/manga. Too bad the nice Ikki and Stella scene at the end was removed. But at least the scene where Ayase and her father calling Ikki was removed probably because to make it more obvious that it's not a harem series. Judging from the title, Ep 9 will be like Ep 5 which half is anime original episode and half is adapted from scenes in the novel. I'd say most of the scenes in the Ep 9 that are from the LN will be from Ch 2 of Vol 3. That means we might see the cabin scene in the next episode and maybe additional Ikki/Stella scenes that are not in the LN. Ep 9 title gives little room to interpretation. It is probably "that" scene. |
| Ikki vs Kuraudo was totally awesome. Ikki grinning like that made my day! 5/5 |
 |
| Great episode. The fight between Ikki and the sword eater was well done. |
| Seems like it'll over take the manga . |
| Wohooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo |
| This episode was okay but had a number of big flaws, namely lack of explanations how Ittou Shura doesn't increase reaction speed therefore would be useless against Kuraudo, and how Ten'i muhou works(now it just look like a stab...). But it was over my expectations and decent enough so it's alright. |
| Ikki keeps pulling new techniques out of his ass, but I'm fine with that. Great episode and fight scene. The ending was nice. 5/5 |
| With this, I think it's safe to say that this series has the best action scenes on the season next to Gundam...My goodness this was just pure epicness Seeing the Sword Eater's weapon, Orochimaru (Reminds me so much of Zabimaru from Bleach) and then just seeing how much he and Ikki enjoyed fighting one another...The tension, their special skills,l the final showdown, dat art and animation, HOLY FUCK!!!!!!!!! Apart from that cute yet HILARIOUS Japanese Thumb Wrestle thing with Stella and Ikki lol, I'm really happy for Ayase and I respect the fact that she admitted that she cheated in her match with Ikki I CANNOT WAIT FOR THIS MAIN TOURNEY THING TO START!!!!!!!! |

| Best fight scene of the series so far, even if there wasn't much to it. However, I could have done without the 5 or so minute flashback at the start that was clearly yet another attempt to make me feel pity for Ayatsuji. The quicker the series moves on from trying to force me to pity someone who I will never be able to pity, the better. |
| oh look, an anime where the mc is super op. how nice.. |
 |
| Very good episode, though a bunch of things were left out such as how Ittou Shura can't reduce one's reaction speed. I'm also surprised that Silver Link took out the part where Ayase's father wanted Ikki to marry Ayase. I guess they wanted to end the episode on a heartwarming note. The thumb wrestling was pretty funny though xD Another great fight scene. I really liked the animation right before Ikki used Ten'i Muhou. |
| Now that was awesome. Ikki smiling from excitement throughout the fight was so much fun. I'm sure a Bromance is forming between SE and Ikki now. |
 |
| At least this fight wasn't a one-sided onslaught by Kuraudo only to end with Ikki one-shotting him. I mean, Ikki technically still one-shotted him, but the 2 of them seemed equally matched for most of the fight up until that moment. I guess this is just a small taste of what's to come when they inevitably fight at the tournament, so hopefully that fight is more exciting. I really liked how the animation looked when Ikki charged toward Kuraudo with Tenimuho, so that's a plus. Vercetty said: oh look, an anime where the mc is super op. how nice.. Especially when that fact is trying to be masked with the facade that he's "the worst one." But then he proceeds to one-shot all of his opponents........ |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. MAL is literally just anime Twitter as its own website lol. |
| The Fight was extremely well done. However, more than halfway through the show and we havent seen any real flaws in Ikki and the everything has just been too perfect. Right now it just feel like a Better animated WORLD BREAK with more likeable characters. But i know tht this show can be much better than tht |
| Shirayuki= Most Perfect Female MC ever |
| That sword was the shit Orchimaru would be so proud of him |
 |
| Wow! B4 i knew it, the episode was over. That's how it was for me. A liked this episode. Really, I do. |

| That fight was epic...well done. Shizuku's comment on Stella being a bitch hahaha funny. There are some villain that you come to like and there are some where you hate them for life. |

I think episode 9 will be more of a original thing than what happened in the LN. |
| I like the sword eater, he's actually cool, he hasn't done anything this episode that made me dislike him actually. Very good fight. |

Smudy said: I like the sword eater, he's actually cool, he hasn't done anything this episode that made me dislike him actually. Very good fight. The anime actually didn't portray Sword Eater as much of an ass he was in the manga. His fight against Ayase's father was pretty tame compared to how the manga presented it. |
| Very entertaining fight. Ikki's grin throughout it was splendid. Swordeater was pretty tight too. I anticipate an even more epic one later now. |
 |
| Come Zambimaru ! .. oh wait wrong anime |
| Fight was fine, but when we have three straight episodes where Ayase is clearly the female lead and Stella a mere cheerleader I feel very disappointed. I was led to believe the romance in this would be different, but an early confession and a kiss or two mixed with embarrassing public denials ain't good enough, not at all. That aspect of this appears to have been overhyped. :( I'll hold off on lowering my score for now, but please show, more Stella! |
| i was cheering for sword eater . even thou i knew that the mc is never going to lose bc he have MC armor . |
| Will the 4 episodes be enough to adapt the Ikki vs ? |
 |
| The piano version of the opening that played was pretty good. |
 |
| Eh, honestly, I preferred the last episode over this one, but it at least maintains its quality for the most part. Some of the explanations just felt ham-fisted in the moment, but the animation was awesome, the fight scene was great, and the music was solid. |
 |
| 5/5 I liked very much how they surprised us showing the fight between Ayatsuji's father and Sword Eater this episode. Also, Shizuku, why did you have to ruin Ikki and Stella's moment? |
| Renji is a semi good guy :'( His zabimaru sword is good but no match for the MC's bankai :'( |
 |
That weapon Orochimaru looked fcking cool.  |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| Actioned packed! Decent fight, although the 'Sword Eater' didn't seem as evil as the previous eps made him out to be, hoping he'll reappear in some later eps |
 |
| The fight finale was dumb. What kind of move was that of him just charging in with the sword like that? Disapoint. |
| Damn, that was a nice episode. The fight was pretty neat. Ikki never ceases to surprise with his perception and intelligence during battle. Loved it. |
  |
| Such an epic match !!!! Ikki was loving the fight with Kurodo. Same with him OMG ZABIMARU!!!! |
| That was an intense battle |
