Another really good episode. The development on Shichika's part was the centerpiece of the episode, and I found it a very welcome surprise. It's about time for Togame to be a little bit more forthright in her feelings. Surely she figured out that Shichika was jealous.

And I agree with cyruz, I felt some kind of relationship between the princess and Togame. They can't be sisters, can they? But mother/daughter sounds crazy...though I suppose I shouldn't doubt it.

Ahk! I really wanted to see what the guy in the armour looked like! I kinda felt sorry for him in the end.

Uh I can't believe we have to wait another month for the next ep. Its waaaaay to long!

She totally was. Saying, "I didn't notice, but you have a very big body that's proportional."
I'm not stupid, Togame!

Time for this now I guess, while I have some spare time~
lolMassage xD
Also, those were some sneaky plans Togame came up with xD

Lastly, why do all the Maniwani heads look so ridiculous? xD...
Lastly, Togame is overreacting. Slightly. xD

"Don't touch my woman!" xD

Also.. Wait what? Shichika breaks a bone in the next episode? O.o

The multiple scenes in this episode frightened me into thinking that they would not obtain the sword by the end of the episode. Yet they successfully did so without removing any content from the fight.

Predicted earlier in episode 3, the cheerio scene lacked its luster after a few moments. I thought the directors went overboard. However, i did thoroughly enjoy teasing Togame when he was jealous. Refreshing to watch a male take the role of the mindless and emotionless while the female possesses the brains, to an degree.

@Arden Ruales: The director focuses on text and discussion between characters. As people have been saying, it does give off a similar feel to Bakamonogatari because of shared directors. While i can not deny the fact that the plot revolves around swords and battles, AKA it is action, it is done through a different style and is a lesser element.

And enter the archtype female nemesis. Hopefully she will add something to Katanagatari or will we be faced with another typical jealous-triangle plot episode.

CHEERIO! Hilarious overreaction from Togame. xD Also did we just get to see domestic violence from a jealous Shichika? That armor was pretty cool, somehow it made me think of Nightmare in Soul Calibur with the same kind of setting and all.

Another great episode, one month is gonna be long.

Shichika was all sorts of awesome in this episode <3
"I somehow got the urge to tease you..."
"Don't touch my women!"


I didn't really care much for Shichika before, but he got a couple points for this episode. I really liked the random teasing.

Though, as stated, the fight was rather bland...

I think I have a new favourite ship.

Also, I find it weird that there are people on here who don't know what Cheerio means. Although, as a British man myself, I guess I probably hear it more than people of other nationalities do. As a mocking stereotype, of course. No British man ever says cheerio. Ever.

Amazing episode! Great main character development, but the most fascinating thing about this series is the great character(s) it introduces in every episode. As well as superb dialogue.

Fuck yeah an Onsen scene, fanservice for the win!
I just loved this episode because Togame was damn cute in it. Really, the two main protagonists made this show. They're so adorable together.

Though I was expecting a bit more devellopment on that armour dude. His backstory was rather interesting but it was shown hastly and he didn't appear much in the whole episode.
He was more a plot device to highlight the relation between Togame and Shichika. This wouldn't bother if he wasn't an interesting character in itself.

This is on pace to be one of my favorite shows ever. There is nothing about it that I don't love. The style, the music, the humor, the action. It's all spot on for me.

It was cool to see some different sides of Shichaki this episode. Surely didn't expect him to become jealous like that and kind of bully Togame for making him feel that way. Though it seemed that he himself really didn't know what he was feeling and why he was doing it, but he might have realized in the end. 5/5

This.

A bit too much fanservice for my taste, but it was mostly well played and actually seemed more than just regular fanservice.

Shichika getting jealous and Togame realizing her mistake was both pretty funny :)

I'm happy Shichika is finally showing the human side of himself. "Don't touch my woman" was both funny and nice to hear :)

Kind of off-topic but With each episode i'm always randomly thinking "I'm surprised SHAFT didn't get their hands on this."


I like Shichika and Togame's interactions. Like in the hot spring, she just tells him to stand up and he just lets himself be looked up.
Basically any other male MC would have been all virginal, shy, and ashamed.

About Cheerio. MEH I don't care for her saying it all the time, it seems so forced and pointless and I don't think it's cute tbh.
Unlike let's say Nodame Cantabile, Nodame saying GYABO or MUKYA! as an appropriate reaction.

Not enough fanservice, this was a great episode. They acted completely normal while naked, which is nice to see in an anime. Casual nudity shouldn't be fanservice.
