Excellent direction. It's rare to come across an episode of an action show where I'm not annoyed by the little details they do wrong.

I get why Bishamon is sad. Her Shinki were family to her and she didn't want them to die. I understand that very much. However, that bad guy is just a power hungry lunatic.

Yato is awesome as always.

Still who blighted Bishamon's first set of Shinki? That's what I wanna know.

Really good episode and I liked Kazuma's backstory. I'd been wondering why Yato was their "savior" all this time but I never would've imagined Kazuma asked him to slay the entire clan.

Was surprised to see Yukine cut in half, but it's so obvious he has plot armor so I'm not worried.

The worst part about the next episode is that Bitchamon will probably be smug about cutting Yukine in half and going "Now you know how it feels!" or something given her personality. Not looking forward to that.

I am crazy about the OP, so damn good!

That was intense for sure! Didn't expect it to get dark. The ma clan killing itself out and then trying to kill Bishamon as well, yet they dare call her for help... Kazuma better pay that favor back. Yato's an amazing guy now that I think... Yukine is definitely not dead, but that was a cool scene.

Don't click that spoiler. I thought that was a freaken picture of Kofuku betting. GOD DAMN IT! I HATE YOU, BUT I HATE MYSELF TOO!
I believe that unless you know for sure that you don't like a concept, you should keep exploring it. Whether it be characteristics of people or a genre of some sort, you never know if you don't like it until you've seen quality work corresponding to that genre. Keep exploring until you've found something you enjoy, or something of quality. Then you know what's bad, what's good, and what isn't for you.

And that's what happens when people put images into spoiler tags too often. The actual spoilers just should have double spoiler tags and an extra written warning, especially if they are a huge as this one.

Well, I'm glad I've read manga beforehand. Nothing scares me now. :P

Really intense episode. I loved the backstory for Bishamon though it really makes me not like her as much. I wonder how Kazuma and Hiyori well get out...

That cliff hangar definitely was intense. Having just watched Walking Dead kinda made me draw parallel's lol.

Can't wait to see what happens next. Hope Yukine is ok.

It's not you. Judging by the opening, they are also going to adapt the next arc, which is longer. It's fast-paced, but they're not leaving too much out and the direction is good enough that anime-onlys can understand what's going on. I'm fine with it as long as they don't mess up with the canon events. Still can't understand why they wouldn't want to do both arcs properly in 26 episodes, though.

Dat Cliffhanger!! Bravo Bones. At this pace they're definitely gonna be able to do Ebisu's arc too. I thought it would be impossible without rushing the shit out of it but the director is one BASED dude.

Keeping it intense throughout the episode. Nice to finally see the full YatoxKazumaxVeena flashback and what happened. Yato was indeed so friggin cool in the past. Now he's a joke lol

Bisha's just too bitchy at this point of the series <_< She just can't even realize that Yato friggin saved her ass centuries ago. How the hell could she just exile Kazuma without even listening to anything he has to say after spending all those centuries with him. That's just too f***n stupid.

And besides the "Ma" family were just a bunch of annoying assholes from what we saw. They started killing eachother first. Yato did nothing wrong.

The Kofuku betting scene was cute.

Wow, that was an amazing and intense episode. Younger Yato is incredibly badass, would love to see more of his backstory and such.

Finally understanding more about Bishamon and Kazuma as well. I hope this isn't all too rushed and we're not missing too much manga content, but either way I'm enjoying the heck out of this anime right now.

Bishamon needs to die....well then that would play into "Kaguha's" plans then....
Ok, at least someone needs to slap her 10...no a THOUSAND times over.

....Dang though...past Yato seriously looked/seemed really cool....makes me wonder if he had a different wardrobe choice he could've retained some of that coolness...

Ugh cliffhangers how I hate you so...glad I held out this week so i don't have to wait a WHOLE week but OTL

Wow such a perfect episode. The characters building is so well done in this anime, you experience the same feelings than them. The face of Yato was amazing and the Yukine's sacrifice was unpredictable. I almost cried.
I'm glad that they explained the past of their relation, it was a great episode :).

It was so obvious that Bishamon hated Yato for a stupid reason. She should have died back then indeed.

Also while I don't really like Yukine that end was not good.

So Bishamon doesn't know the real reason why Yato killed off her clan and who contracted him to do it. They're making her seem too dumb and clueless. Saying her children are fucking innocent, how dumb can she be? Jesus Fucking Christ.


With many of today's Anime and manga series, there's always a somewhat "good" or justifiable reason why someone killed another person or a group of people (in this case, Bishamon's clan). I'd like to see an Anime where someone kills someone in cold blood just simply because they were paid to do so or fighting for a cause they believed in (or was contracted to do so) like Hitokiri Battōsai in Rurouni Kenshin.

Some plot armor for our favorite little teenage shinki would be more than welcome.


Btw, Bishamon is an idiot. A big-hearted one, maybe, but an idiot nonetheless. It's a shame that her hatred for Yato wasn't given a more believable context, when you know what's really happened it feels more like some dumb unfounded grudge than anything else.
It seems ridiculous now that she would despise Yato for killing her shinki when said shinki had ALL turned into a giant Ayakashi ready to eat her ass. It's like she didn't even bother asking Kazuma (the one survivor) whatever the fuck happened back then.

Agreed. Bish's hatred would've made more sense if, I don't know, Yato had killed her shinki while they were still in human form, for example. Kazuma's decision to wipe the Ma clan to prevent a situation like the one we actually got (giant Ayakashi eating Bish) and Yato's resulting actions would've thus come off as much more ruthless and morally ambiguous.

Intense episode. I wish that Yato really had killed her regalia out of another reason and not make it a justifiable killing.

If Yukine stays dead, that will be a very interesting and exciting direction for this show. Somehow I don't think they'll do it. They lack the balls to kill off characters nowadays and Yukine is important for a certain demographic they surely want to keep.
