| Great episode! We have one more episode left, definitely going to read the manga after the season is over. That village is fucked, I mean I get that they're doing it for the survival of their species but, that's still very fucked and there are even those with selfish and malicious intent, so yeah they're dead indeed. Poor Yui, I can kind of understand why he's overprotective of Akira, it's too much though, there are still other people out there he can trust, I hope he realizes that. Inari's a bitch and all, but she's hot lmao. Nobimaru's kitsune form looks cool, looking forward to the last episode. |

Xesty17 said: AuRomul said: Are coerced sex and rape the only strong drama-driving points in this anime? Anyway... as suspected, Yui's motives aren't so antagonic even though he carelessly freeze those three, and Shiki and Inugami might have died if not for Inugami's thermo technique. Still not sure what to think about him. We got some more Inari being... well, the bitch character she is supposed to be. Kabane not buying any of that shit, Akira. Yh I think all the rape in characters' bacsktories is really forced and unnecessary tbh. I get that the story wants to be established as dark but it's starting to become an edgelord's wet dream I have to agree. To me using sexual abuse is low level effort drama-maker, it can be well implemented and introduced, but is too easy to sound unnecessary. And when you have it back to back, it makes me question the mangaka's story-telling ability. |
Ventus_S said: Well the studio really tone down a lot of stuffs compare to manga to make this serie PG friendly. They even change some dialogues of what Yui said to tone down the overall rating. Idk why they want to avoid to discuss about anything sexaul as much as possible, be it dialogue or screen. I mean the ep 1 is pretty graphical already, so why suddenly holding back? Or maybe they make BD different to match the manga... Who knows.. Because sexuality and children are not a good combo for non shotacon/lolicon anime. |
| Kemono Jihen has made it fairly clear that Kemono are as a general rule cruel and selfish and uncommon. So the re use of r**e isn't that unsurprising or unexpected. These are species with a very small base of their own. Combine that rarity with an instinctive desire to continue their existence the r***e makes sense in both context (The Yokka-onna and the spider) I was a little confused though for a moment. With the heavy censoring I get an initially different understanding. When Akira said he wet the bed for a moment I thought it meant Akira was menstruating fir the first time until I realised the show very specifically pointed out the even greater rarity of males. |

spaesu said: quite an interesting episode, at least they didnt all die and akira was a girl? oh well only one episode left now, wonder how they'll end this off? hope it all turns out well... Akira is a boy, Yui realized Akira had a wet dream so he didn't want the women to find out |

| Alright, at least everyone is still alive. How can Yui be so emotionless (Except that he still cares for Akira)? Inari is here. And also with her assistant. Akira did the "Make them hate you, to save them" trick. Inari makes me uncomfortable man. Ok, um, Yui's backstory got a little sexually undertoned and a bit disgusting. What the fuck Yuki-onna. This is actual folklore, right? They were there in Yu Yu Hakusho too. Wow, that action was pretty good. I like it when Shonen gets Seinen vibes. |

| oh god cliffhangerz! i knew Inari would show-up and intervene the situation! now this is a good fight match-up! Nobimaru vs Yui! [flame vs ice] 5/5. |
 |
| Yui was raped by 200 women...it makes sense why Yui is like this. Akira continues to be annoying...but I was surprised that he even knew about melting ice with salt and heat. It's all thanks to Mihai that he installed an AI in that plushie, or else I couldn't have handled Akira anymore. |
yasm said: minfairys said: i sure i'm just dumb or my head is nothing working right right now, but can anyone tell me what they made yui do??And what was with pee thing. I feel dumb right now, that it's just so embrassing... Maybe you are just very pure, like Akira. Have you been told about the flowers and the bees yet? Unsure if I should take away your innocence, but this is such a strong subtle plot point I want people to know about it. Basically it's been well established that the Yuuki-onna almost never give birth to males. This makes it very hard to sustain their population, as two female Yuuki-onna cannot bear children. So when a male does come along, he is very precious. He's the only way their population can grow. And so they make him have sex with everyone, all the time, as much as physically possible. No matter if he wants to or not. They basically rape him to death. Yes, it's very grim, and this episode makes it clear they are utterly unapologetic about it. The thing about Akira's bed wetting, and I love how subtle this is too, is that if that wasn't pee, the implication is that it must have been cum. Yui's realised Akira basically had a wet dream. And if he was capable of that, he was capable of reproducing too. If the female Yuuki-onna found out about that, they would certainly make Akira become "village chief" along with Yui. Akira wouldn't survive that long. So Yui did everything he could to make sure Akira would escape that fate. Though I wonder if that wasn't more so Akira's innocence ("purity") would be preserved, rather than to save him, exactly. It's clear Yui sees Akira not so much as a brother, or even as a person, but as a reflection of everything he lost to the female Yuuki-onna. What I don't get is that they are twins and onnoko so all those sex-driven women would have expected either way that Akira is elligible to become a sex toy sooner or later. |
| To this rape village only thing what was missing in my opinion were pregnant women. I kinda wish we would see little kids and pregnant women after Yui became village chief.

Probably their knowledge is someone primitive and they assumed that he isn't "men enough" because Akira looks like a girl and didn't started puberty in age 12 (what is considered standard) but when he was 14. Maybe they were even thinking he is infertile. or they just consider him weaker so they were too afraid he would made weaker offsprings? |

There are definitely other ways to make a shonen dark and shocking. |
| Yui T_____T he endures a lot just to save Akira from those creepy women :( I want to hug him :( |
 |
| So, it was all because of the yuki onna that Yui became like this and he wanted to protect Akira from being tainted. When he found out that Akira turning 14 and wetting his bed was not something that Akira had done in years he instantly decided to keep him away from the yuki onna. However, the leader THOT was evil and wanted Akira dead since they didn't want the secret of their village getting out. Plus, it seems the null stone and life stone can give huge hints as to where Kabane's parents are. Of all times, why is it that Mirai had to show up now and that too with Nobimaru? I really commend Akira on his brave act, but nii-san gave him away. Now the final episode remains and so far... this anime seems like a downgraded version of Goblin Slayer. |
 |
| Mihai really created one helpful plushie. Interesting backstory on Yui so far, with nobody to trust its no wonder he wants to keep his vulnerable brother Akira safe even if its Akira's own comrades. |
 |
| That's one village I wouldn't like to grow up in, despite there being 200 women. I'm sympathetic towards Yui, but his actions are never clear. Akira, in this case, must be severely confused as to what he should do. Nevertheless, Yui made quite the sacrifice for Akira, even if it was a fruitless effort. Nobimaru versus Yui. That could be quite the spectacle. Of course, Inari had to get her nose involved. Her search for power starts with the stones. |
 |
| Messed up back story in the snow village. But Akira still made up its a great job. Well Nobimaru looks cool in his form wolf instead Kon kinda creepy. Seems that fight will not gonna long. Just realized that ara ara voiced by HanaKana, she did suit well in any character lol. |
| That village was basically a cult not surprised Yui is the way he is now, poor kid. Akira acting to protect his friends was good, is probably the best he could do in that situation but poor Kabane who probably had no idea what was happening. Of course Inari couldn't miss being part of the finale. |
| decent ep actually, the yuki onna's backstory/village seems pretty f'd, they were basically child sex slaves from the sound of things. He wanted to save Akira from that. Interested to see how it's wrapped up in the finale! |
| I have a third testicle that gives me psychic powers |
| The revelation of Yui's past made my stomach turn... no wonder he's so cold and unemotional now. I could feel his panic when he realised that Akira had hit puberty too and it broke my heart when he sacrificed himself to try keep Akira safe. I hope he and Akira can happiness and be together the way they used to be! |
| Damn so Akira actually had wet dreams. sheesh such a bizzare and unspoken topic woven into such a serious matter |
 |
| Nullstones are very interesting ongfr |
