| Thought that the color transition during the fight was awesome. Really fit into the whole thing imo. |

| I liked how Ikki was smiling, smirking? Grinning like a madman? Whatever it was I liked it. Can't wait for the next episode! |
 |
| I wouldn't say Ikki is too op. He takes time and hits to win. Like against Kuraido he had to wait until Kuraido was out of stamina, if Kuraido wouldn't have ran out out of stamina Ikki's attack wouldn't have worked. Ikki's power grows stronger as time goes by in fight. He learns his enemies attacks and every time he's attacked he grows stronger. |
| Awesome episode, enjoyed the little backstory at the beginning and loved the fight between Ikki and Kuraudo. Both were crazy good and made some crazy action. I honestly can't wait to see who Ikki is going to fight next! Here is my full review on the episode: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I5mhYKn289U&feature=youtu.be |
| Orochimaru vs Sharingan, that's basically what happened lol |
| Even when I was in crowd, I was always alone |
| i thought Tom Cruise was the last samurai? and the fuck is Renji's Zabimaru doing here?! lol |

 Kickstarter for Rokujouma is fully funded. Good work everyone. Lets wait for the result of our hard work together. |
| Oh yeah the third version for the OP must be epic. |

| This episode in a word: epic. Shit that fight was INTENSE. Loved the moral and respect towards swordsmanship displayed during this episode; it was very tasteful. Was the Sword Eater just hanging out in that dojo for the last two years waiting for someone to come and kick his ass or what? |

| Great episode, well animated battle too. |
 |
| What a crazy intense fight! Ikki's toughest opponent yet, and he was really enjoying his battle grinning like a madman because he found a very formidable foe to fight against. I really enjoyed this episode. :) And it's case closed for Ayatsuji's case. |
| Great episode, I was really looking forward to see the fight between Ikki and Sword Eater, what a great fight, but felt that some times one unnecessary darkness took account of the screen, yet the action was very good, I was excited about the battle But this gentle personality of Ikki really annoys me a bit, not knowing deny people and think about helping everyone, this arrogant attitude still do much harm to him, especially in this next arc, many battles and suffering are to ahead, and I look forward to continue watching this adaptation .. |
  |
| This Ayatsuji dojo problem reminded me of both Rurouni Kenshin and Bleach. Kuroudo = Renji + Kenpachi from Bleach? Ayatsuji itto-ryu = Kamiya-Kasshin ryu from Rurouni Kenshin. There was also X-shaped wound in Ikki's body. Great episode for reminding me of two great anime I really like~ |

GradationAir said: Ikki didnt use Ittou Shura but Im guessing it can also increase his reaction speed. I think this time it came down how the writers wanted to end the duel. They wanted Ikki to win using the Ayatsuji technique.This episode was okay but had a number of big flaws, namely lack of explanations how Ittou Shura doesn't increase reaction speed therefore would be useless against Kuraudo, and how Ten'i muhou works(now it just look like a stab...). But it was over my expectations and decent enough so it's alright. |
"I have been wielding a blade since before your were swimming around your father's scrotum." - Kurou |
| It was interesting that the anime changed how Ikki defended against Sword Eater. In the manga, he gripped Intetsu by the middle of the blade, making an improvised staff. I was hoping the anime would show that instead. It would've looked cooler, too =/ |
| The whole fight between Ikki and Kurado was great. Kurado's Orochimaru did remind me of Zabimaru as well. Ikki smiling like a real badass was really cool; he was enjoying himself fighting a really strong opponent. The transition to black and white was perfect. Ikki was able to use Ten-i-muho thanks to his Blade Steal ability. Glad to see that Ayatsuji got her dojo back and her father is conscious now. Stella got embarrassed when Shizuku and Akice appeared and she started having a thumb wrestle with Ikki; that was cute yet funny. xD Can't wait for the next arc~ 5/5 |
 |
| That guitar when Ikki pulled out Intetsu.. damn epic. And then the piano version of the op.. This anime has a good ost. Anyway I kinda wish they didnt cut the part where |
 |
| So.........can somebody tell me where the hell is the so called "asspull" that people kept on complaining about on episode 7s thread? This was a FAIR fight, from beginning to end. Also Ikki learned the final technique out of watching Ayase, or so it is stated like. Where is the asspull on that? '-' Ok charging with a sword may not be the most orthodox technique in the world, but it works. Also nice to see that the old man would have raped this guy were not for that unfortunate cough. Sad that Stella x Ikki were interrupted, but happy that Stella has total trust on Ikki, and that Ayase is repentant for her actions and starting anew. Oh well. |
 |
| That was a predictable ending but really nice. I like the fact that ikki was having so much fun during the sword fight |
 |
| This episode was... ok. Mainly beccause I feel like Ayasuji should've been the one tom fight the guy instead of Ikki. I think it would've been way better character development for her. And it just makes sense as this is kind of her revenge/redemption story. That's what really threw me off about the episode. The battle was cool though. |
| I haven't got that pumped for a fight in a while. |
| ---------My Profile------------ |
| The fight was nice but the move that ended it felt underwhelming :( Was it just me? |
| As of 27/7/14 I have decided trap anime Sword Art Online II has more appeal than Mahouka. |
| who are you calling a bitch? you, lmfao |
| That was one hell of a sword fight. I loved seeing Ikki smile during the fight because it was such a demonstration of how much he was enjoying it. ~Great episode!!! |
 |
| This was the hype action packed episode I was waiting for! Ikki so hype especially when his opponents react to his irregular guarding. Looks like Ayatsuji went down the noble path afterall. Favourite episode. |
 |
| wow so many comments it portrays how much popular this episode was really was fights and those scenes 10/10 |

| Great fight scene. Renji's Zabimaru. |
But it's important to remember that a movie review is subjective;it only gives you one person's opinion. http://www.classzone.com/books/lnetwork_gr08/page_build.cfm?content=analyz_media&ch=30 It doesn't matter if you like LoGH,Monster etc.If you are a jobless or college/school dropout living in your mom basement, you are still an unintelligent loser. Taste in anime does not make you a better person.If elitist don't exist, casual pleb and shit taste also don't exist. |
| Waiting for the scenes of Ayase's dad and Shizuku's... Maybe next episode??? Tohka next episode pls. :) |
 |
 this... xD |
 read from right to left |
| Great fight scene , i was expecting something shorter and less intense for some reason, didn't disappoint me . it's been intense well animated . Seriously Kuraudo's sword is fucking Zabimaru , GTFO Renji ! XD |
 |
| how can be a series release their best episode every week? just this owo great battle, great skill, and also great endcard too |
 |
| OH MY GOD where's the scene of Kaito asking Ikki to screw her daughter and take over the dojo? I am hugely disappointed. |
| Holy shit. Easily one of best fights this year. Why can't Silverlink and especially Oonuma Shin get ALL the budget and do all the adaptations :[ chiefpetu said: I wouldn't say Ikki is too op.

Ikki's power grows stronger as time goes by in fight. He learns his enemies attacks and every time he's attacked he grows stronger. ^This. Too bad most people are too dumb to realize that. Ikki does not just "own" his opponents. He actually has to figure them out first. |

| Dammit Rakudai stop wasting your own potential by spending so much time on boring action scenes ffs. Literally the one thing which makes you different from any other action/fantasy magic academy anime is that you have a real romance going on. So why can't you at least focus on that one thing? It's like it first makes such a big deal about how it stands out from the rest, and then it still insists on focusing on the generic aspects. It's like regression So annoying to watch |

| >Best fight of the year >With so many repeated frames Wow you guys must have some really low standards. The choreography during the swordfight was below average and oh how I hate when they talk during fight scenes and explain things. |
