| I liked the end. But i really don't get bishamon. She's kind of doesn't make sense. Probably from her background, and weakness, and tragedy.... in summary, she was kind of deranged, so it's probably why she doesn't make sense to me.. |
 |
| Nice episode. Can't say I am happy that Bishamon let Kugaha go, but oh well. Yato fighting the Phantom was pretty good. Dual wielding is awesome. Bishamon arc is over. Overall it was really good. Now onto the next one. |

| and so Bishamon's arc ends what the first season should of ended on nonetheless they did a great job with it excited to see new stuff since i'm only a little ahead of this arc |

| Can't wait for trash dad's appearance. |
| That was a perfect adaptation imo.Next up my favorite arc tho, crossing fingers for it to be made as well as this one. nozoris said: lololCan't wait for trash dad's appearance. |

nozoris said: Can't wait for trash dad's appearance. Are you serious? Anyway, I'm kinda disappointed to see Touma missing from the anime version of Kazuma's past. But still, imo this arc is beautifully done. Can't wait for Ebisu arc now. I thought this episode will ends with |
 |
| Epic ending for Epic arc. |
 |
| What a great conclusion to the Bishamon arc. I was actually surprised that Kazuma was still alive but really glad he's still around. Bishamon finally came to her senses and did what was right once and for all. Finally she got some closure. She ended up releasing Kuga to the human world. I guess he's gonna be a normal human being now? It was nice to see Bishamon used the elderly woman to fight the creature too. The final scenes are the end of the episode were really touching. Bishamon ended up making everyone write a diary to get to know them better. Kazuma teared up at the end and became Bishamon's exemplar once again. Fantastic arc overall and looking forward to the next one~ 5/5 |
 |
| So did Bishamon learn anything from this or does she still go 'save' everyone she finds? Kinda wished they got more into the clan and what's gonna happen to them. |
| Tch... Kugaha is just banished?? So god of poverty next? :) |
 |
| S2 > S1 heard next arc is going to be better |
| The OST was awesome, Nice conclusion to the arc. |
 |
| aww no Touma, but still this arc was just beautiful can't wait for the next one |
| Awesome end to the arc. Don't forget to watch after the ED scene. I feel like it's a little too rushed, but at least it means they'll be animating Ebisu's arc, which really adds a lot of story to the show and the characters. |
| Great arc, but the ending could be better. |
 |
| Awesome Conclusion for an Awesome Arc , The Moment Yato cut Kuguha's hand was beyond epic ! It really was great how every episode brought story and action all together and perfectly mixed up not a single minute was boring , i which she'd have killed that Kuguha bastard tho . I'm Glad that little girl (Fumiha was it ?) survived she's adorable  [/quote] |

| By the way, now it's a good time to rewatch that spoilerish OVA they released with the sakura tree picnic. It's canon and it's a nice ending to the arc. The other one about high school is also canon and comes after that. Watching these might help you understand the second half better cause it's going to be a rollercoaster of information and emotions from now on. lindsayzzz said: She ended up releasing Kuga to the human world. I guess he's gonna be a normal human being now? 5/5 He can't be a human again because he's already a dead human. He is just a wandering spirit now, which makes him super vulnerable to phantoms. It's a bit hard to explain this because in the manga at this point they have already explained or at least suggested why Kazuma's binding didn't work on him, but the anime didn't for some reason. So I'm not going to explain any further in case they decide to explain it in future episodes. Paul said: So did Bishamon learn anything from this or does she still go 'save' everyone she finds? Kinda wished they got more into the clan and what's gonna happen to them. Don't worry, Bishamon and her clan are recurring characters and we'll keep seeing more from them and how she handles things from now on. |

| **** YOU Kugaha, Oh well, he's a common villain anyway  But man, I thought Father will be making his appearance  |
 |
| Such great arc! Bishamon was so gorgeous <3 |
 No I'm not copying anyone! |
| That preview and the face of Ya when he sees all that cash :))))) I can't wait to see how bad he'll spend it on all kinds of trinkets :D |
| Great episode, Yato had its prominent moment and then did not have more focus, I wanted to see him a little more in action, then everything seemed to straighten to Bishamon, and now a new arc starts, I look forward for the next episodes .. |
  |
| awesome this arc was epic Kazuma is not dead no surprise there Bishamon was hot this episode |
 |
| Yay, cool episode. Reminded me of Soul Eater. |
| It's time you look inward and begin asking yourself the big question, "Who are you, and what do you want?" - Uncle Iroh |
| I love the idea of 'Gods are always Righteous' that Yato has mentioned a few times. Yato was just plain bad ass this episode, so that was good. Honestly Bishamon just kind of ticks me off every time she does something, like why would she let Kugaha go? I'm also rather unhappy with Hiyori. Where does she get off on stopping Yato from helping? Didn't she just hear Yato saying that Gods are always correct in what they do? Besides she is just a human stepping into a world she doesn't understand - And she certainly doesn't understand that Yato actually has a responsibility toward the things involving masks. It's not been explained, but that is at least plain to see that he knows something. So Hiyori? You just rub me the wrong way. GTFO Beyond that, amazing episode I loved it. Most memorable moment: Yato cutting off Kugaha's hand and that line about 'So you just want more attention from Mommy, that about right?' so badass. |

OhhPlease said: I'm also rather unhappy with Hiyori. Where does she get off on stopping Yato from helping? Didn't she just hear Yato saying that Gods are always correct in what they do?

It's not been explained, but that is at least plain to see that he knows something. So Hiyori? You just rub me the wrong way. GTFO I think you missed the point. Hiyori stopped Yato and told him that "she has to do it herself" - basically, that Bishamon has to confront her flaws and past mistakes by killing the phantom herself and defending the remaining Regalia she has left, even if it means killing the Regalia who have become part of the monster. And I think she was right. In essance, Bishamon fighting the phantom alone allowed her to come to peace with her traumatic past, and also forced to do what she had once despised Yato for doing: killing the monster her Regalia had become a part of. I think this is demonstrated quite clearly by the juxtaposition of shots of Yato killing the -ma clan and Bishamon killing the phantom. |
| Bishamon's stupid. But well the arc was nice. S2 is definitely better than S1. |

I think this is demonstrated quite clearly by the juxtaposition of shots of Yato killing the -ma clan and Bishamon killing the phantom. I understand what you are trying to say here, and maybe I even somewhat agree. Maybe my dislike of Bishamon colours my judgement, but either way it can't be said that it also isn't Yato's responsibility to at least help. Right from the very beginning season one we have seen these masks come up. On the Nora, in the Calamity God fight, Yato clearly knows something having to do with them, he even hints at it in this episode when talking about the masks. It seems like he needs to step forward to help deal with that problem. Even the masks aside, Yato helped to create the whole mess in the first place by killing the first clan. He had a hand in creating the whole mess in the first place in many ways, he should help clean it up. Then again I could be wrong. Who knows. |

| THIS EPISODE <3 <3 omfg, the plot escalated quickly with just one episode. The actions, the feels, and EVERYTHIING! This ongoing arc has finally ended! I would rate this episode as 20/10 if I can! This episode is just so.... No words can express how awesome this episode is. And about the preview, it hyped me to the maximum level! I can't wait to watch next week's new episode! |
| Hehe Happy New YEar! :D |
| Bull-fucking-shit. Forgiving Kugaha? Are you fucking kidding me? That motherfucker nearly killed everyone and Bitchamon just forgives him? I want to see some real deaths and not some ambiguous exiling pseudo-deaths that are full of shit. Also Yato saying that gods can never be wrong? Sweet Jesus on a cracker, that's even bigger shit than Bishamon acting like Mother Fucking Theresa and not giving two shits about what's happening in the lives of her Regalia. Thank goodness this bullshit arc is over. I want Nora to make their lives a living hell. |
| 臭い- |
| Kugaha always bothered me as a character but, ironically, he was the best part of this episode imo. Some good action scenes here too. The rest was pretty meh though and this arc in general never had much impact on me. |
| So the Bishamon arc has come to end. In the end, I think Bishamon learned some important lessons, and I was glad to see that she was the one who had to bring about the conclusion to the fight. From what we see at the end of the episode, it looks like Bishamon has changed as a character. In one respect, this arc felt a little rushed, but on the other, I'm not sure it would have worked as well if it went much longer. From the preview, it appears a new arc will be starting up in the next episode. Hopefully it'll be just as interesting at the Bishamon arc was. |
| i honestly think this arc is waaay better than the whole first season >w< |

Sweet Jesus on a cracker, that's even bigger shit than Bishamon acting like Mother Fucking Theresa and not giving two shits about what's happening in the lives of her Regalia. Except... she didn't forgive him? She revoked his name, which is the biggest humiliation you can do to a Regalia. And about the 'Gods can do no wrong' thing, I explained it before for those who got it wrong. It's not that Gods can't commit mistakes, it's that they're exempt of them because of their nature as Gods. Going with Yato's "notice me mommy" analogy, it's like when parents say "because I say so". Parents aren't always right, but their word is law and their children (shinki) should respect that. |

| The ost is soooo good. |
| 5 main aspects I base my ratings on: 1. Did DramaEnthusiast make a thread about it? 2. Is it better than Breaking Bad? 3. Did MellowJello recommend the shit out of it? 4. Has it caused a (very entertaining) shitstorm on MAL? 5. Is it actually good? Scratch the fifth point, it's not very relevant... |
| I know I know this anime is not really about awesomely epic creative fights, but ugh I just get really sick of the standard '' fade to black - change position'' cliché anime fight ending, like how Yato defeated the masked phantom. Soooo... what's with the whole '' A god can't do anything wrong'' conclusion xD? I can't really say I whole heartedly stand by this :p Ah well, was still an awesome badass arc albeit a bit lackluster conclusion for me |
| It was great! When Yato cut off Kugaha's hand I felt kinda delivered somehow as I really couldn't stand this guy. Such a nice ending as well. |
| PERFECT 100/10 |
| My favorite arc is over and I'm definitely content with how they did it. I was a little surprised that they left Touma out of the flashback, but I'm happy we finally got to see this arc animated. Next we me Ebisu! :D |
 |
| yeah this episode,finally.... but kugaha not die heh |
 |
llcruz said: I don't have words to describe this arc... it was so perfect. And I loved the ending so much. Especially when Kazuma used the book to hide his tears. ^^^ |
 |
| Bring on the next arc. |
 |
| ...I still wonder why Kazuma was not able to restrain Kugaha something tells me he'll be back |
| Nice way to end this arc, Bishamon arc 10/10 sadly there's no |
| Yato was wishing for Kugaha death. I was too :/ It was badass when he cut his hand, right after he was being so smug. HIs speech was pretty badass too. Bishamon speech was touching. I still would have prefered if she had killed him. It would have been almost mercy at this point. |
