Another great episode with only one remaining. I have to say that Sagiri, Yuzuriha, and Senta held their own pretty well against the Tensen but that's also thanks to the tree guy's tips. Yuzuriha is a good fighter and she finally showed it here. Sucks that Senta sacrificed himself in saving Yuzuriha but at least Shion came in the nick of time to help out the girls. I'm assuming that Nurugai is nearby too.

Meanwhile we briefly saw Gabimaru and his group and it looks like Gabimaru passed out, presumably due to exhaustion. With only one episode remaining I wonder how they'll end it but hopefully a season 2 announcement is promptly made afterwards.

Why do I feel like the white heard mf waited for the fatty to die to ease up competition over Yuzuriha? Couldn't he have stepped up in time to save him too?

Shion ain’t like that bro 😭

Some pretty big lore drops this ep, so all the Horai Religion that the island natives believed in was a lie by the original Hermit to maintain order, Elixiar of life doesn't exist and if a human drank Tan they become a tree, finally the island is really just to experiment on humans. So i guess we've figured out the island's true purpose and also that the Tensen aren't actually Gods, just incredibly strong monsters who know how to use Tao.

Also interesting thing to note, seems like Tao also has some sort of Rock Paper Scissors mechanic to it where some people can control a variant of Tao that is more effective against another variant. Yuzuriha and the Tensen they fought apparently have similar Tao where they can dimish it so they can't be detected, and Sagiri can instantly manifest Tao.

Fuck they got me, i actually thought the twist this ep was Sagiri, Yuzuriha and Senta killing the first Tensen since striking the Tanden seemed incredibly effective, but nah the twist was it was never that easy to begin with. Thought something was up when they had Senta getting all sentimental, sad that he had to go genuinely thought Sagiri and Yuzuriha's relationship was unique.
But yeh, why stay NEXT to the abominable monster plant corpse that has shown to regenerate from fatal attacks. It's true that Houko gave them a theoretical weak point and in a life and death situation they had to all in at that gamble, but they've been fighting this Tensen for like 15minutes? and their conclusion for their risk assessment was that they've definitely seen all its tricks.
I would understand if the time frame between them "killing" the Tensen and resting was like 3mins minimum to 10 minutes max since the adrenaline is probably running off and they are probably focusing on being glad they survived a fight against a "God", but if they really lingered around the corpse for anything longer then that time, i really wanna say they deserved what was coming.

"Yes he's a monster, not a God!"

It was a really good episode. The sacrifices and teamwork were very fluid. I really felt sorry for Senta... a desperate man who found the freedom he wanted within himself in someone else.

I really wasn't expecting the last scene! It was such a cool sword cut xd

Sagiri and co were in for quite the fight with this Tensen, learning more about the Tao too, along with the fact that the elixir might not be what it sounds like.
Shion arriving just in time, hopefully to make sure that Senta's sacrifice to save Yuzuriha wasn't in vain.

Even though it's a harbinger of a very dangerous situation, Kishikai theme simply rocks. Especially when shortly before it we could see Sagiri learning about the truth about the Elixir of Life.

I liked how Senta's feelings towards Sagiri, as well as his backstory, were portrayed in the anime. They were adapted faithfully to the manga, and apart from that they were enriched with everything good that animated format could offer.

Shion's entrance looked grand. He arrived just in time to not allow anyone else getting stung by the enemy flowers. Poor Senta...

One episode left.

I figured it wasn't looking good for Senta for a while now but I had started to hope he would make it out ok. but I guess this island just isn't the place for him after all

Honestly is their fucking fault for staying near creature they don't fully know about well hes dead now stupid how can yall be so stupid to stand in enemy territory...  My survival instincts would immediately tell me to decapitate the fuck out of that tensen after that yet it’s anime, poor dude was written to die there.

Something felt off but I wanted to believe they would all survive. He sacrificed himself for the one that freed him from his mental captivity. By the looks of it, a normal human using Tao kills them, and I think I know why. They are using their own life force to use Tao not someone else's so it is consuming their life force each time they use it. It would make sense why that Tensen aged rapidly after fighting Gabi. The second reason is their body isn't used to it. Ngl Sagiri should go over to Demon Slayer so they can teach her some breathing techniques so she can fight for longer using her Tao Breathing style. The way Daredevil came last second and saved them was fantastic I'm excited to see how he has levelled up.

Very cool episode. There is a cool fight, a story from Senta's past, a sharp plot twist! I liked it very much! The moment when Senta gets hurt and Yuzuriha kicks the skulls is really cool! In the manga, it was breathtaking, but here it just knocks you off your feet.

Yuzuriha is a more impressive fighter than I expected her to be.

I enjoyed learning more about Senta and his past. Too bad it ended up being a death flag. RIP

I loved Shion's arrival at the end.

So there was no Elixer. There's Tan that can enhance the life of certain individuals. And the mastery of Tao of course. Both of these are deemed as 'elixer of life' outside the island.

Senta had a crush on Yuzuriha. Sad to see him die. He was a good character.

Ain't no way they could have defeated Mu Dan so easily. He seemed like a big bad. He also did that plant-like transformation or smth.

Shion came in clutch. I don't think he has mastered Tao tho.

Another one who fell victim to this cursed island. And again instead of dying that godlike thingy transformed into some monster. Will they be able to kill him off being only two left and having already used so much energy?
Damn only 1 episode left, I already feel like crying. How will I be able to wait for S2 that is such torture *cry*

Listen, doesn't matter what people say, this is the best out of the Dark Trio, This one is art, the story is deep and complex, and even if I don't like how quickly they die, the characters are so baddest and real. It's really good, seriously
