| Holy Shit!!! I sort of had a hunch that something like this would happen, but still the revelations and the way it played was good enough too. Good God Natsume getting pierced like that and just after she was being this cute, damn you Takiko, you can claim you're not fanatical like the rest but that's plain bullshit, all you care is about is following your idol no matter the cost or what you have to do for that, so you can save the "this is for your sake too" speech, because everything you're doing is for your satisfaction. |
 |
| I'm guessing that Harutora is going to use the ritual thing that Suzuka tried to use on his brother. |
 |
| If Natsume dies, i'll give this show 1/10. -.- |

| Well.. Natsume got the death flag all over her as soon as we were presented her flash back and her being lovey dovey with bakatora.. Now that he's got Yakou's power, he should just go crazy and destroy the shamanic bureau and kill Takiko 3 times over. |
 |
| Wait did Natsume just died ? Shit, didnt see that coming.. Guess I'm team Suzuha now |
| Oh the feels. Just when everything is going smoothly suddenly Takiko barged in. |
 |
| What a good episode!! I mean I would be surprised if things stay as they are but when something plays over the credits, it normally means that things are serious. Kinda threw me a little, not sure what to expect!! |

| Harutora looked really badass in that raven armour. I hope he can use it at will. As for Natsume, I swear, if they kill her off, or don't revive her in some way or form...I'm drastically going to lower my score of this series (because I'm almost finished watching it anyway, may as well, otherwise I would have dropped it by now). |
| Damn, I don't even particularly like this series that much, but this ep was so good :> |
| Finally Things getting real :X Natsume better not dying :O |
 |
| Loved this episode Natsume was cute throughout this episode. <3<3<3 I hope she'll be alright . :c |

warcon said: facade63 said: >People always complain anime never kills off characters. >When an anime finally comes around that does people complain. makes sense. Yes because those who complain about no one dying are the ones complaining about people dying. What the f**k are you stupid? This... I don't know why you're comparing two separate types of people as if they're one. ._. |
 |
| Didn't see that coming, but I expect some sort of reviving to happen. This kind of show won't kill off a MC just like that :3.. |
 |
| did she really die? I mean it didn't even look like that much damage |
 |
| No feels were felt. Probably isn't even dead. |
 |
| Nooooooooo Natsume!!! Why?? You were sooo young! |
| O importante não é o que fazemos de nós, mas o que nós fazemos daquilo que fazem de nós |
| The reveal in this episode, we saw it coming. Natsume better not die or I will be so angry. Great episode!!! |

AnimageNeby said: As for the 'surprise' Natsume and bakatora being switched, and SHE is of the branch and NOT the head...let's be honest here: that was clear and obvious from last episode already. They insisted FAR too strongly about the difference that she wasn't a boy but a girl to be just still a minor twist, but rather a major development in the story. Allow me to correct you here.. Only Yasuzumi is confirmed as Harutora's real father means Harutora is from the main family. It's STILL not confirmed if Natsume is from the branch family. Her real parents are still not confirmed, not even in the source material. Notice how this episode just doesn't say anything about her real parents? She might not even be Tsuchimikado at all. |
 |
| WOW... I love this ep soo much. Natsume:( I wonder if they are going to have a second season. This is pretty good. Too bad there's only 4 eps left :( |

W/c might or might not become a plot point later on in the series. Heck I wouldn't be surprised if she were the reincarnation of Yakous long lost love or something. Cliche as that may be. |
| Actually vol 11 is going to deal with secret behind Natsume's birth as one of it's plot points. =D |
Jagd84 said: Actually vol 11 is going to deal with secret behind Natsume's birth as one of it's plot points. =D Three cheers for that then ;) |
| @jagd Yeah man..can't wait for that! so much room for character development! :D I have some theories regarding it (and that too crazy ones O_O ) but yeah, I wouldn't be too surprised if that were to happen.. Imo this makes Natsume's character much more interesting considering how complex Harutora's personality and character is now. |

| +1 for MC death. And she better be dead. No resurrection BS. >:I I wish there was more romance build up though. |

| NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! TTTTTTTTT_TTTTTTTTTTTTTT http://knickerblogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/please-god-no.gif I'm one of the only ones who didn't find the reveal obvious, though I know I'm not always clever about everything, especially when I watch a lot of other series, put this one off for a few weeks at a time, & therefore hard to fully recall what was going on plot-wise. Well, I'm sure if I considered it, I'd have realized. . yeah I feel kind of dumb now, but w/a all the better when I found out. Great episode! I haven't read any manga or LN adaptation, but this seemed really well-done ^^ |

| This once they are doing it right. Natsume started putting deathflags around the opening of the episode, so I can't say I didn't see it coming. But since Yakou was well known for his resurrection spell, I guess we don't have to be worried. Yakou can, Tora can. |
 |
| HAHAHAHAHAHAHA NOPE IF SHE DIES I- FIRST HAMATORA AND NOW TOKYO RAVENS?!?! ANIME CREATORS WHYYYYY ; A ; MUST YOU DESPAIR MY HEART SO I JUST- //SLAMS FISTS ON TABLE Ugh took them long enough, 20 episodes to find out Harutora is the reincarnation, also took him a LONG time to get some powers. She didn't even deal that much damage, but I'm guessing because she used some crazy amount of power to reverse the curse cast on Harutora, it took a darn lot of spirit energy + all her wounds. Ok I'm really upset at what happened this episode, but at the same time I didn't cry at all, and I'm a SUPER emotional person. I just really can't see Natsume dying, she's the main heroine, this anime isn't a "dark" anime like Guilty Crown or anything... But on another note: Darn Harutora, both your girls dying in your arms. Wow, much misfortune. Also, seeing Natsume's little "white world" before she "supposedly passes away" was also so sad, this music too... DOES NOT HELP |
pp813Feb 26, 2014 11:19 PM
| I didn't really like this episode, the music was ehh strange. I hope Natsume doesnt die because thats a lame way to go but guess we gotta wait another week to see. |
 |
| Btw for LN readers...did they explain Mutobe's OPness??? Because that was pretty ridiculous how OP he was. |
 |
Barion-Zara said: Yeah, that's because after getting revived as Takiko's shikigami using Taizan Fukun and Yase-Doji(imperial pallbearers/Souma clan's secret technique, I hate funimation's English translations) he became a spirit being, much like Kakugyouki, Hokuto (dragon, you do know that the dragon is female right?) and Kon. Same thing happened with Shidou. He's not your typical mecha/man-made shikigami like Spider Tank Tsuchigumo or Asura. Spirit beings are much powerful than man-mades, eg. Yakou's 2 legendary shikis.Btw for LN readers...did they explain Mutobe's OPness??? Because that was pretty ridiculous how OP he was. Hope that explains well. |

| WHAT NO NO NOOO NATSUMEEEEE!!!!!! WHAT THE FUCK!! She better not be dead for REAL!!!!! But Bakatora is Yakou he can revive her no??? Souma should be killed, revived and killed again!! ;________________________________; |
| NOOOOOOOOOOOOO NATSUME !!!!!!!! ToT |
 |
| need to put opinion too.... NOOOOOOOOOOOOO PLEASE NOOOOOOOOO NATSUME !!!!! :'(!!! psno need to say something else that described the episode.... I'll return with my depression now... cya lol can't wait to see what next.. :'( |

Well, I declare to kill Takiko not just 3x but 50x You know that was an accident right? That doesn't make it right. Besides who does she think she is just forcing people to (possibly) become someone they don't want to. It seems like Harutora was leading a pretty good life already and she should've taken precautions. She killed her indirectly because she was being a moron. Takiko was impulsive and emotional yes, but moron? No. She was angry when she hear what Yasuzumi had done to Natsume, but didn't know the curse was half undone. Fact of the matter is that she never meant any actual harm to come to Natsume and acted on good intentions which was relieve her of what Takiko considered an unjustified burden and set what was right in her POV. You certainly don't have to agree with her, and I'm not arguing Takiko actions weren't rash or that she wasn't in the wrong, but what happened was manslaughter at best. |
Iron_MawFeb 27, 2014 8:26 AM
| Well we can all pretty much guess that Natsume isn't dead/not going to stay dead. I hope Harutora goes on a rampage and offs Souma, which will probably also not happen because "she only wanted a comrade" and "I feel sorry for her". Although if it does happen next week it will be my greatest moment of joy this season. |
| Nice episode. It actually feels as if Natsume is really dead. The way they showed her in the opening and ending makes it seem like that. I guess she'll be brought back to life somehow. However if she didn't die this episode I'd be disappointed. 5/5 |

It seems like Harutora was leading a pretty good life already and she should've taken precautions. She killed her indirectly because she was being a moron. Well, I agree. But, I can't just blame all to Takiko After a very pretty much thinking. Everyone's here at fault. Yasuzumi- sealing off his child in the first place and leaving the unsealing to someone who doesn't even know what is the real purpose of it. The fact that he also went hiding while his real son might be in danger. Takahiro & Chizuru- for so long that they had been an accomplished of Yasuzumi despite having Harutora in their care for so long. Takiko- Well, you already know that because of her very sensitive emotion, she always ends up doing things that she should not do hasty. Well, after Harutora gone berserk, what did she do? Did she not even think that since it's her fault, she should try to help and stop him? Genji, Shidou & Mutobe- Those goons who provoke Takiko to do it (well, Mutobe/Kumomaru just following orders). Tenma & Kyouko- (I just want to add these two) What the hell they are doing?! Don't tell me, they just stand up there while Touji, Suzuka and Natsume are trying to stop Harutora?? More people, more chance to save him. Kakugyouki- Well, if you already thought that this might happen, why don't you stay by your master's side and watch him not to go in that state. How would Natsume figures all that you said in just a short time?! If Kakugyouki is there, then more person could have able to handle Harutora. Natsume- Well, I know your the main topic, but Natsume...you shouldn't sacrifice yourself just because you partly blame what happened to Harutora. You should be able to remember what Kakugyouki said about seeking help to Suzu if anything bad happens. Well, love really hurts---physically and emotionally. And lastly, YAKOU (the root of all)- In the first place, all of this things will not happen if Yakou just remain dead and not reincarnate himself. (He may have a reason to), but still, if you just do that, maybe, Natsume and Harutora would have been living a normal life, and those Yakou devotees and the others will leave in a more silent and peaceful world. Still, I love how they animate this episode. So happy that they did it much more cool and full of feelings as I expected. |
