Heh, pretty much an all out fight between Yuto and Rukuro this episode. UNLEASH THAT RAGE.

Seriously though, he did well, or at least beyond anyone's expectations. I think Benio is just glad they're not dead after that fight. Now give him a congratulations kiss!

Pretty emotional finale to the fight with the fallen children supporting Rokuro to defeat Yuto. Go best-girl Mayura! Become a badass exorcist! XD

Filler arc starts next episode then? Looking at the preview I saw plenty of best-girl Mayura's big, beautiful tits! XD Can't wait! XD

They kinda butchered that part in the anime compared to the manga. Essentially he was fighting Yuto in that new form that you briefly see in this episode. But the anime decided to make Rokuro fight Yuto when he is in full Kegare corruption in his human form and have the willpower to win because of the kids. Sad to see such a good fight turned into this mess.

Good episode, Action was pretty good.

I loved how Benio wrecked Yuto when her Boots were active.
Yuto is still as annoying as ever.

Rokuro's fight was nice to watch however I do have some qualms about the power scaling and that regeneration of his which happened out of nowhere.
Rokuro got impaled through his body and somehow regenerated everything after which he was able to fight on par with Yuto eventually even overpowering him. Even if Yuto was damaged from the earlier attacks I can't see how Rokuro would gain enough power to defeat him. (There's only so much willpower you can produce to win against a much stronger foe xD) Yuto went full Kegare mode as well.
So far it does looks like a plot armor/ deus-ex kinda win for him.

Very emotional moment post the fight with Rokuro and Benio, Really sweet scene. That was my favorite part of the episode.

Rokuro telling Benio let's get married and have a baby in the Exorcist meeting was cute and kinda funny.
Lovely moment at the end there with him giving Benio those hairpins. :)

lmao Rokuro has the worst plot armour I've ever seen, at least in Bleach Ichigo's random power ups always got some sort of explanation.

Honestly I enjoyed this episode a lot, still really dislike the shitty underpants guy and still have this anime rated 6/10 but every now and then their are some pretty great moments.

Man, the fight between Yuto and Rokuro and the part when Rokuro and Benio were getting lectured were so bs.

First of all, Pierrot couldn't even adapt Rokuro's powerup correctly so it seems even more nonsensical
...and then Rokuro and Benio were getting punished for fighting Yuto before the 12 guardians did since they didn't make it in time...which doesn't make sense because pretty much all of them were in Kyoto, which is only a few hours away from Tokyo. They totally would've made it in time lol so it's technically the guardians' fault for wasting all that extra time (now it would've been more logical if they were off the mainland like they were in the manga)

That's still more than enough since it was originally planned that a team of 4 were to take on Yuto after Seigen's failure.

Well Pierrot made it even more of an asspull by toning it down so it just made the fight look even more stupid
Rokuro w/ his basic kegare arm without an enchantment defeating full kegare mode Yuto? Yeah, that makes sense.... >_>

For an anime only viewer, I didn't really have a big problem with the show. Yeah it's generic shounen with sudden power ups but I do like the relationship development these last few episodes gave to benio and rokuro.

Ignoring what manga users say, I do find the show enjoyable even for those parts that the anime left out. Maybe it's the disappointment of not seeing a part of the manga that they reLly like, being animated but it does not mean that the show is butchered.

Right from the beginning we knew that the anime charted it's own path and people still harp on the differences between the anime and manga. Maybe they chose to reveal the power up later? Doesn't mean that it has to be a 1 for 1 copy for a show to be enjoyable.

Just my 2 cents.

Kinda expected some more butchering based on what a few have said, but I think this episode was fine. It was pretty enjoyable, love still the Rokuro x Benio scenes. It seems like Perriot has a weird thing here tbh.

In some fillers, they do very well with filling gaps for the characters and giving some characterization, etc, since I did noticed the manga had pacing issues as well.

In other fillers, its just rather... bad, in some cases, and then we have the middle and neutral ones for me.

It's like Perriot is not doing anything bad nor good, it's just in the middle.

The random power up of Rokuro was bullshit, but Yuto is a piece of shit, so I didn't mind him being defeated that way. My only true complaint is that the hits weren't very intense, I would have enjoyed much more Rokuro's beatdown on Yuto if the animation and art would have been better on those parts.

Also, very disappointed Yuto is still alive. I hope they don't try to redeem him later when he eventually reappears in the series.

The ending was sweet, glad to see the relationship between Yuto and Benio has improved since the first episodes. In fact, taking in mind the two years Arima gave to them, that would have been the bets moment to end the series, but Pierrot fill this of all the fillers they want to add until the end -_-

Btw, omnyouji Mayura sounds cool.

What the fuck was that super saiyan power-up + healing shit?
That fight was pretty trash, and it felt like there was close to no motion.

I remember how Seigen got one hit by Yuto. If that is all the strength Pervert and his team have to offer, I don't see why they are bragging.

I did like some of the aftermath with Benio and shark teeth at the festival.

What was with that random asspull power-up healing thing that Rokuro did? Eh, this fight was somewhat entertaining so I guess that part was whatever. So I guess there's supposed to be a timeskip next episode......and I believe starting next week is also anime-original stuff. Hopefully it isn't stupidly boring like some of the other original stuff from earlier in the series.

This episode didn't follow some parts of the manga like the deal with the head (i am sorry i don't remember the name) for 2 years.
Still it was good.
Also Roku's transformation was supposed to be a thing and that he didn't retain memories of being in a transformed state but it only happened for 3 seconds and didn't stay marked in his body as it was supposed to.

Great love story so far. Too bad there has yet to be a kiss.

I can only see things going downhill for Mayura from here. I've seen too many anime where the third wheel wants to help and then ends up dying like an idiot.



Excited to see the changes to the show next week since they've transitioned into high school, as told by Rokuro. And according to Benio we're gonna see some growth in the characters "including chests."

Overall a great episode.

I don't like how Rokuro was fighting in his human form vs Yuto. I do realize in the manga this did not happen. Personally I think I am going to love this time skip. I am ready for some insane mind-boggling attacks. I think Rokuro & Benio now should easily at normal non-powerup mode should be as powerful or more than the 12 guardians. I know a lot of people are complaining about how Rokuro and Benio have convenient powerups. Personally I am really glad the the 12 guardians just didn't step in to the fight. But... yeah the convenient powerups are just a part of Shonen nowadays(pretty much always to me) in my opinion and i don't have any problems with it so far with all the anime I've watched. I enjoy and I hate it sometimes. CONVEINENT TIMINGS & POWERUPS & TIMESKIPS & TROLLY POWERHOUSE CAPTAIN(ARIMA) FOR LIFE

This whole episode looked like a slideshow when it should have been the best animated episode of the series. They also totally changed the fight between Rokuro and Yuto and only had him show a glimpse of his new form. He actually performs the whole fight like that in the manga and it was badass. It was just a confusing mess in the anime. Very disappointed. I'm also disappointed by the ridiculous amount of anime-original filler there is. That two years Arima mentioned is actually a timeskip in the manga. Instead we-ll get a bunch of pointless, and probably poorly written, filler garbage. Lame.

As a manga reader, I really disliked the plot armor power up too, I mean if there was some legit foreshadowing before hand then it might have been doable but even then, the only thing we ever got was 'he was an orphan' or something. Well regardless, they do explain it later and it's pretty generic in terms of shounen series.

Anyways, the animation crew is so bad at drawing faces from a distance, Yuto, Benio and Rokuro each had an extremely derpy face this episode from zoomed out, each at a different scene. The fight itself was alright at times but the vast amount of repeated animation is a turn off. Well at least the close in shots were good, like the last scene with Benio wearing the hair accessory, her face actually looked correct and she looked great with that lighting.

Best scene was when Rokuro asked Benio to make a baby when they get home. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Too bad Rokuro wasn't studdering and blushing when saying it like the manga and the expression of the rest of the people there was more amusing.

Although it doesn't look like much change really want to see their older versions animated, so a little hyped. I've always liked seeing characters change/growth during time skips. I'm a bit surprised too, I was actually expecting them to put a bunch of fillers inbetween like another series Pierrot did... Not really sure how this is gonna work out considering there's still 30 episodes left and not even close to enough source material, there's literally only 16 chapters of material left. Original anime route probably at this rate.

New OP next ep too maybe?

Well they definitely have some explaining to do, mainly why Rokuro is still alive. I still enjoyed the episode even with the lackluster animation. The ending was cute when Rokuro won her new hair clips, I enjoyed her expression it was super adorable. I was just hoping she would say "I love them" but oh well.
