Kuraudo is cool.. his ability is strongg.
Throughly enjoyed this battle.. so much awesomeness.
That's it for the drama.. you can be happy now Ayase.
A miracle flag raised and ojii-san woke up now after 2 years.
Ikki and Stella are grade schoolers definitely.

The fight was so intense, probably the best in the show thus far. And with that the Ayase arc ends.

Just when Ikki and Stella were getting in the mood, Alice/Shizuku appear. Well let's pretend we were playing thumb war lol

End card, no comment. Stella <3

woah the sword eater guy's sword looks a lot like Renji's from Bleach.

Also that technique was lame tbh Ikki just charged head on with the sword in front like it's a bayonet.. not even a flashy move

Tbh I wasn't really into this episode since Ikki lost all the respect I had for him last episode. Only watching this for Stella now.

That was definitely a reminder of Bleach. :D

Loved that fight. Super intense and so much action. I think this was the first time saw Ikki having so much fun during a battle so that he was even grining. Kuraudo really is a super strong opponent. I'm so curious what will happen in the seven star tourney. If there are more people like this it will be sooo good.

Also nice to see Ayase's father waked up. That Ikki x Stella moment and of course Shizuku and Alice have to be cockblocker >.<

Backstory on Tom Cruise.

ROAR! ZABIMARU!

The irony in this episode is that Hosoya voices two characters this season(Fall 2015) who use "Yamata no Orochi" and it was the anime right before I watched this. lol

Of course the battle had to end with symbolism.

Wow that episode was really amazing!

Didn't expect such a good fight between those two and that early ? I thought they would wait untill they meet in the big tournament. But hey, it was fkin good haha.

Sometimes it's a bit weird that Ikki can suddenly pull another technique out of his ass. Nevertheless i still enjoy every minute of that show:) It's really well done in every aspect.

5/5

Oh, no. I was talking about Abarai Renji from Bleach, hahaha ;P Renji's bankai works in a similar way. But yes, Reiji from Tokyo Ravens physically looks like his twin lmao xD

Considering Ayase's father told her to "hate all evil", she really screwed up last episode turning evil/manipulating Ikki. Daddy is probably rolling in his grave.

"Let me tell you...that's not all he steals, either." I want to say Stella was referring to Ikki stealing her heart, which is sweet, but she could easily be referring to her virginity as well.

Ikki's fight against the Sword Eater was great, but I was hoping to see his minions gangsters and those 2 bitches' reactions to Sword Eater's defeat.

Glad that, Ayase got her mojo back and her father COINCIDENTALLY woke up after 2 years in a coma.

Satisfactory ending to Ayase's arc although the ending was too much coincidence lmao. Her father literally woke up from a 2-year coma immediately after it. Fight was good though and Ikki showed a different side to him.

So the snake guy goes around town smashing bottles into strangers' heads and thrashing campus dojos and nobody seems to have reported him to their school?

That was a good match, looks like Ikki found his match, this Sword eater seems to be the perfect enemy for him. I like how they were both smiling like a madman.

Nvm, forget what I said about episode 7, this was the best one so far. The way the fought was so amazing, having fun while doing that and also Ayase realizing why her father said "I'm so sorry" WHILE TURNING HIS EYE, I did not expect that at all.

Come on man,where is that Noragami season 3 masterpiece.We want it, Bones!

Cool episode for an end of arc, I really dig into this swordmen shit, I'm gonna watch Samurai Champloo after this and it better be about swordmen.

I really thought he was gonna defeat him with that OP mode but he actually defeated him with the technique of the dojo's former sensei, that was epic.

I'm glad Ikki didn't completely defeat the Sword Eater. This anime is avoiding a lot of typical clichés from this genre and I'm enjoying it.

The avg reaction speed is 0.3 huh. I guess that's why no matter how much I play moba games, my skills never improve. I think my reaction time is slower than normal at 0.35 or so. My only saving grace is my consistency with 1 or 2 heroes and my teamplay.

Anyway, It's a good thing Ikki is so durable and can take a lot of punishment. Speedy opponents always loses against him.

It was really a nice episode, Ikki defeated the swordsman who had taken his Senpai's dojo and it was a good fight.
And also his Senpai's dad had awakened from his coma.

I give this episode 8/10.

Well, it is a conclusion. Unlike the previous episode, the moral of this is one is rather dubious. A warrior that fights for exhilaration above all else, even if it compromises his family, isn't someone to aspire to. Chivalry, honour, warrior code, whatever word you wish to use, is about learning how to direct your skills to some good. There's more to being a good knight than swinging your sword for the fun of it.
