----------------------------------------
I think this is more of a climatic episode of the arc. The Basaras aren't messing around and Benio and Rokuro feel the wrath of their abilities.

That new form looks pretty weird though, even for this series.

I didn't expect all of the guardians to go down in the same episode... what. I'm having trouble believing they're all dead.

Good OP, ED not so much.

I thought that Arima would come out of nowhere, but it was Tatara. Welp, he died for no reason xD

I'm glad though that Yuto is back in action and Kuranashi is gone.

600 year long feud had a 5 seconds long backstory and then the awaited feud was for 4 minutes. 1400 years of planing ending in being used all along, wtf is going on. It just seems like they're throwing some random shit at us

"Haha, you've all been bamboozled, 12 guardians!"- Kuranashi
"Haha, it's actually you who's been bamboozled, Kuranashi!"- Yuto

To be honest, this was a pretty weak episode... Was kinda disappointing to see Tatara finally shine then die just as fast.
Really digging that OP, a weensy bit mixed about the ED.

Lmao, Kuranashi got axed by Yuto with the old Naruto technique "I was actually using you, fam" just after becoming the Ultimate Life Form. And that feud of him and Tatara who was builded up this last 20+ episodes gets resolved in a few minutes. For a character who was hyped up that much, they gave him a shitty final battle.

This new opening is probably my favourite of the series. I wonder though if it's foreshadowing that Arima and Sae will eventually return...

Whoa, new opening. With the "all the memories so far" and "time for final battle" theme.
And there goes Kuranashi reveal his plan "Shocking Rate" when know about Yuto as the Informant : about 5%. while Twin Star trying out some new techniques. But when Yuto fights back... WHOA!!!

New OP and ED are okay. So Yuto was using Kuranashi all along, while Kuranashi thought he was using Yuto. Tatara's fight was pretty short. I thought he was going to defeat Kuranashi, but he died trying.

Kuranashi's 1200 year old plan was foiled by Yuto who is like what 15 years old? I thought Kuranashi was supposed to be cunning and having supposedly planned this meticulously for over 1200 years, surely he should have been able to thwart any hindrances to this plan. I mean he went to all that trouble like so much trouble to get his power and now it's all gone in like 5 seconds of him absorbing Yuto. x.x
I hope they show Yuto managed to fool Kuranashi and I really hope it's not just a matter of I predicted X, Y and Z so I knew things would turn out this way.

Tatara died for naught, Yuto gobbled up Kuranashi's final form and has some new power now.
State of the other guardians is still unknown, Wonder what's gonna happen now.

overall i say this is quite a complex feeling episode

we got to see a new opening and ending. To me though the opening is better

all the guardian are currently inactive/dead?

Tatars true power is shown but in the end died in vein.

lastly even though the bastard kuranashi is gone, Yuto is back and his already overwhelming power may be increased to even further terrifying heights

Kuranashi planned it for 1200?

Well that's a BS. If I remember correctly both Magano and first basara - Chinu, came to be around 1000 years ago.
But sure. Anime-original rights I guess...

Also Yuuto is on the Mainland kek xD I laughed when I saw him

It's sad we're not going back to manga but who knows maybe one day it will get remake like FMAB or sth I dunno xd

Honestly it's not a bad plot, but it could have been executed better especially that lame kuranashi armor design and yuto pulling a fast one.
Maybe the manga will refine it.

The Opening was pretty good, the color and art style looked great and I watched it a few times before I started really watching the episode. The ending wasn't all that to me. The story was no surprise when I saw Kuranashi trying to mess with Yuto, since it's a given that Yuto is basically god tier. Reminds me of bleach so far.

A lot of things happened but it felt nothing.
Stupid death? of the Twelve Guardians?... I still speculating it's not.
Stupid way to end Kuranashi though... Well, Yuto the main villain is back so it's fine. LOL.

I liked the animation in the OP. The ED looks weird especially when I saw Tenma who looks so girlish in that shot. lol :v

New OP/ED are all right I guess, I never really cared for any of the songs used in this show......

Well, like others have mentioned, this episode felt like Pierrot took elements of both Bleach and Naruto and mashed it together. The whole "1200 years of planning" thing reminded me of Aizen, and that troll move that Yuto pulled at the end was literally exactly what happened to Madara when Kaguya showed up. Lol that sucks for Kuranashi, all of that hard work for over a millennium and it all went to shit because of Yuto (not gonna lie, I thought it was going to be Arima, not Yuto, who pulled the surprise move).
People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime.

We finally get to see Tatara in action and I was impressed. Shame it was all for nothing in the end.

Why I am not surprised that Yuto had something up his sleeve.

I don't think we have seen the end of Kuranashi though, it would be too easy to end him forever like that.

Stuffs getting real today. cant wait to see how powerful yuto is now. and if roku is gonna pull one of those bs regen strats like he did in his first fight against yuto.

since we still have 9 episodes to go, theres most likely just gonna get their butts kicked, sent back, cry about the loss, think for a plan for revenge for like 3 episodes and then go back to have a epic duel to the end.

Pretty good episode and a rather climatic one as well

To think that Kuranachi's plan was to actually become king of both Magano and the real world and to do that he orchestrated the deaths of countless exorcists to both fuel his plan and to draw out the 12 guardians to capture them and drain their spell power. Turning the exorcists own ritual against them was a masterpiece though but it was surprising that he had been working on this for 1200 years and had been working with Yuto as well.

Kuranachi's new look was certainly that of a king though and it was disheartening to see him use the techniques of the 12 against the twin suns though. What was most surprising about this episode was that Tatara was in fact not a person per se but a shikigami instead and that he was present when Kuranachi unleashed his first plan. Tatara's fighting style as well was pretty chaotic and i kinda understand why he's paired with Subaru though as she seems to be the only one that can calm him. Tatara's all out assault on Kuranachi was impressive as was his divine transformation into a snake hybrid. I had hopes that he would be able to finally beat Kuranachi but alas that was not so. Still his sacrifice did force Kuranachi to absorb Yuto instead.

The revelation that it was in fact Yuto that orchestrated all this and that Kuranachi was just a puppet was interesting and ironic as well though.
And now Yuto is back again eh

I hate not that Tatara sacrificed himself, but the way in which his death was turned meaningless if not making things bad for the good side. And I mean it in more than one ways - Kuranashi may have been a generic villain, but Yuto is just a piece of shit who gets to rub his existence in our faces even harder.

Well, he was dumb enough not to anticipate that a human-binding spell wouldn't work on a shikigami, so I'm not surprised. On a side note Yuto's "plan" succeeded by a pure chance, so I can't give any credit either.

That's about the only highlight I can think of for this episode. The plot conveniences and tropes were too much for my liking in this one.

The Twelve Guardians aren't dead. Obviously not.
