Great episode.

The battle music in this episode really reminds me of something Lindsey Stirling would play.

Does having more shrine and worshipers make the gods stronger? I noticed that Yato is extremely weak and can barely hold her off even though she was weakened. But of course she does have more help

Yes, it does. Having a shrine and worshipers makes you much more powerful.

Also, Bishamon is a goddess of war, so it makes sense that she would be really good at fighting even when in that state.

I actually felt kind of bad for Bishamon despite how she kind of frustrated me sometimes with her refusal to listen to reason or anything like that (makes sense when you're blinded by revenge though). RIP Kazuma (unless he also becomes a Blessed Regalia like Yukine). Hopefully Kugaha gets his ass handed to him next episode.

Wow so happy to see Yukine is alive and not only that but pretty much got a Lvl up! Was an awesome fight seeing Bishamon continue to fight even though she was being corrupted and really just showed how fueled with revenge she was to kill Yato. But man that ending was pure feels...honestly feel really sorry for Bishamon after this happening pretty much the second time plus now Kazuma is dead? Crazy stuff going from one episode worried Yukine is dead now its Kazuma...geez man easy on the feels please.

Here is my full review on the episode:

Kazuma is already a Blessed Regalia. He can't evolve again.

Hm... I was actually hoping Bishamon died here (even though she's pretty much alive in the ova) and be reborn to be a much better God who can use her head and not be so oblivious of her surroundings. There better not be a third time. Poor Kazuma... having to guide her all those years. May your soul rest in peace... except he's not dead dead yet.

I've really warmed up to Yukine's character so the Duel Blade evolution was a welcome surprise, even if my initial reaction leaned toward d.e.m. I'd forgotten about the reference in Ep2, so that's fine.

But Bishamon's rage-induced vendetta and complete obliviousness felt somewhat overplayed (even if understandable from the perspective of history and illness), especially when juxtaposed with Kugaha and his pet T-rex phantom devouring her ragalias only a short distance away. It really undermined the emotional impact of Kazuma's sacrifice, to say nothing of her extended crying ugggh.

Looking forward to Yukine becoming badass.

I'm pretty sure Bishamon would have come to her senses if she wasn't tainted hardcore and about to hit the sack from it. It was quite obvious tbh

Seriously all the hate on yukine. Hes a kid that died. He obviously didn't have a good life. Now he can never rly experience life. He already done cleansed himself. Then he finally makes a regular friend and he dies. Hes been through a lot of shit.

Hell yukine is my second fav. But opinions and etc.

Anyway I don't rly consider yukine evolution dues ex. Honestly. It was pointing to that a lot. Plus the way taro and yukine "love" each other is pretty evident.

As of now, please try to refrain from looking at MAL. its a complete mess right now T-T

Probably. But she's been pretty annoyingly oblivious af the entire time so far. I mean...not even the slightest suspicion as the wielder of so many regalias?

Loved the episode, this season is much better than the last one. I wish however that Yukine's transformation would happens in the middle of the episode. I feel that his transformation to Divine Regalia was very rushed. Props to him, he's not my favourite character, but at least he has development and has saved Yato.

Poor Bishamon, she was delusional in her hate for Yato, but she has suffered a lot in the past and in the present. I hope that Kazuma and the rest of her main Shinkis don't die, I like them.

Kugaha attack with that ghost was brutal. Too bad that he will probably rekted in the next episode.

Part of the reason that she was oblivious (besides the fact that Kazuma never told her), was that she didn't want to believe anything else. She could only cope with the fact that she lost all her precious regalias by putting all the blame on Yato. If she acknowledged the fact that she was 'betrayed' by her own regalias, I don't think she'd be able to handle that mentally. That's also why she cried that much, because she finally realised that she was at least partly to blame for what happened. So being oblivious was a way for her to cope and protect her mental well-being - or maybe I'm reading too much into this.

Bishamon has always been portrayed as selfless (to a huuuuge fault), and it would be OOC if she started suspecting her regalias-- it's the exemplar's obligation to play "whodunit" (as what's happened with the old lady regalia from before).

Remember that the main reason for Bishamon's obliviousness was because Kazuma couldn't bear to tell her the truth. Even more so, Kazuma's the one who told everyone to keep up with appearances; his selfish indulgence in Bishamon's dependence couldn't be kept up for too long when she and Yato would eventualy clash.

Also remember that it wasn't Bishamon's wish to remove the blight-- but Kazuma's. Hence this is why she wasn't thankful to Yato. This further shows that she values her regalia's lives over her own. Still, we can see that hatred can cloud her judgement even further during this episode when we see a blighted Bishamon blighting her main force.

Honestly, I wouldn't be thankful to a god of calamity if I was built up to care more about others far more than myself. Even still, Kazuma still needs to play the role of reminding Bishamon that she needs to put priority on herself first.

Bottom-line is that nobody would have been in this mess if Kazuma told the truth. It's unfortunate that the truth had to be revealed during a time of crisis instigated by Kugaha. Kazuma is to blame, but Kugaha deserves far more punishment than what Kazuma really deserves.

However, Noragami has been blowing it out of the water. Amazing. A+

This was an amazing episode. From start to finish, I was on the edge of my sit and my emotions were running wild. The cliffhanger last week killed me but to see Yukine didn't disappear and he ended up turning into dual blades; that was such a hype moment. Yukine is so loyal to Yato and trusts him a ton which made Yukine transform and he's become a lot stronger too to be able to withstand Bishamon's other regalias. Sadly, Bishamon became corrupted and went on a huge insane rampage. Kuga's familiar went ahead and ate the other regalias which worsened Bishamon's condition. Kazuma and Hiyori were finally able to break though thanks to Aiha.

Biggest shock was Kazuma sacrificing himself to bring Bishamon back to her senses. That was such a sad moment yet so fitting. Kazuma finally told Bishamon the truth about him telling Yato to kill the regalias to save Bishamon. Bishamon finally cried endlessly. Yato, it's time to kick Kuga's ass once and for all!

Splendid episode. The drama when Kazuma sacrificed himself ;w;
I can't even put into words how tense this episode was. I was simply captivated by it in every aspect and before I knew it - it was over! Can't wait for the next episode now, one cliffhanger after the other. I finally want to see Yato killing that asshole.

This episode further proved why I think this is the best of this season.
I'm feeling thank you

Kazuma isn't actually dead, right? He's one of my favorite characters in this show, so kind and righteous but not to the point that he's annoying. All he wanted was what's best for Veena and to stay by her side.

I realize he's probably gone but... come on, I really didn't want him to die.

Another amazing episode, and you've gotta love how Yukine is apparently one of the most sincere and loyal Regalias.

I have really enjoyed this arc but I will be quite glad to see the back of Bishamon to be honest her stubbornness over the whole show has been pretty irritating and I have never been a fan of characters that are way too vengeful.

Also RIP Kazuma, one of the best characters in the show is now dead. :'(
