----------------------------------------
Well it looks like Rokuro and Benio are trying to move on after what happened to Kae.

Still found this episode to be rather ridiculous though with that heavy metal song and those dancing. Hopefully they'll make the upcoming episodes more serious. All the recapping parts were rather annoying.

So let me get this straight. For the first 15 or so minutes of this episode every scene Rokuro and Benio are in contain multiple mini-flashbacks, effectively a mini-clipshow. And the rest of the episode is spent on the return of the rock-concert Basara...and...they...dance along?

I couldn't believe what I was watching. This may have reached self-parody levels of bad. XD How did they okay this instead of even trying to adapt the next manga arc? I just...I can't. XD

Still some "preparation" for the grand battle. Arima's still missing, the Twelve Guardians looking for them until now and all the Basara that had fought earlier with the Sousei are all regaining their strength. Plus some dance toward screaming rock music

I'm not even sure what I watched or how to react but I think this pretty much sums it up



Anyway, any manga readers know if any of the information in this episode was canon? Like Rokuro being found in Magano for example. Just curious

Most of the episode was really pointless. :|

Anyone looking to skip the episode should pretty much do so or at most skim through it. I'll leave a short summary just in case anyone comes here looking for whether they should watch this episode or not and what it's about.

-Rokuro and Benio reminisce about the past leading to loads of flashbacks about all the stuff so far. They contemplate their strength and the fact that they have to become as strong as the Guardians
-Twelve Guardians are still searching for Arima
-The filler Basara seem to be gaining some power and are ready to take fight against the Guardians.
-Rokuro questions Seigen about his origins and where he was before he was taken to Hinatsuki.
-Seigen replies that he just found Rokuro in Magano, much like Sae.
-Pink Haired Girl Basara appears and she knows that Sae is a branch of a tree.
-She then plays Rock music and they all dance. (Like seriously?)
-Main Villain guy still has something up his sleeve. He removes his white mask and puts on a black one. (Scary, I know)
-The End, I don't think I missed anything.

Rokuro being found in Magano is canon

Why was the 5 minute metal scene a thing? She literally walks up to them, yells straight at their faces and then they dance along?

I can't remember the last time I cringed but here I am.

Skipped through most of the episode after realizing it was mostly pointless recap and other insignificant shit, and I'm glad I did. There was no way I was going to force myself to watch another cringeworthy death metal scene from that Basara.

The only parts of this episode that were actually somewhat important were the "Rokuro's origin" scene and the end of the episode. Hopefully we never get another episode like this again.
People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime.

Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait.

Take me back to the days before MAL became infested with Twitter's favorite buzzwords.

At first I though this will be just a pointless recap episode, but then Suzu appears and they start to dance. In front of a possible enemy. Didn't they thought she could have attacked them while they danced or something? What the fuck?

At least we managed to know Rokuro's origin more or less (probably the only worthy thing of the episode).

After bearing with this anime for 32 episodes, I really don't wanna drop it now that we're past halfway...

But the show isn't helping at all... Not sure I can keep watching this for another 2 seasons if it doesn't get better any time soon.

Is it another setup episode? Yes. Would I rather have this kind of episode and have them save the budget for an awesome finale? Yes.

This was cringy af. Also, didn't them Twin Stars say they were going to get married if they didn't become as strong as the twelve guardians in 2 years? Didn't the 2 years pass? Yet, they still are fking terrible.

I don't get this show, can someone just point out the order of the events? I'm confused af.

At first, I thought they went along with the dance-off because the music had hypnotic elements to it. When I realized that Benio and Rokuro went along with the dance on their own free will, I just facepalmed for the rest of it...

Hmm so Benio and Rokura finally visit the dorm that gave Rokuro his power eh
as well as the painful memories for both of them as well

An episode where Rokuro and Benio can explore their origins and reflect on the past eh is kinda refreshing after all the action that they have been through.

Plus it can be set to be the calm before the storm

It seems the 12 guardians don't hold Mikage in high esteem either lol
But then again he's stepping into the shoes of no more than Arima after all
The guy may be strange but he has heart and strength to boot as well
No wonder he has the 12's respect

But still without Arima it seems the Exorcist union is starting to fracture
Guess Arima was just that powerful eh
Seeing the thoughts of each of the 12 though was a nice touch

Looks like the Basara that they faced are also gearing up for the endgame as well. Figures that Kura would gather the strongest of them to take on the Exorcists now that he dealt with Arima.

Its also nice to see Benio and Rokuro look at their goals and who they have to surpass in order to attain that goal of becoming the strongest exorcist ever.

Ryogo and the others sure are considerate towards Benio and Rokuro
and great planners to in that they are already planning ahead

Hmm that is true though
since Rokuro wasn't sent to the dorm until much later where's his original family then and where was he born?
These are questions that i never thought to ask actually

Wow but i never expected than answer though
and neither did Benio as well
so thats why Rokuro felt Sae was familiar to him then

Lol Benio's attempt to cheer Rokuro up and her expression after

Hmm and that rock basara makes another appearance eh
and like all basara she's more intelligent that we give her credit for
lol she does love avoiding the question and screwing with us eh

Lol Benio and Rokuro dancing to the music of that Rock basara
its nice seeing them have fun though

And it looks like things are moving towards the final battle it seems
thats a cool mask by the way though
