I can't help but nitpick some scenes in the anime that didn't hit that hard for me, I suppose its because i'm a manga reader. Anyway, the pace of the episode is fast but in a good way. I don't mind about the creepy stuffs as there will be a lot more to it in the upcoming episodes. Decent episode at least.

I feel so lost right now. I am a manga reader, but I hardly remember any of the stuff that happened in this episode from the manga? I only read up until volume 10, so is this something that happens after that? I thought I remembered this arc so vividly bc it's my favourite, but it has been a couple of years since then so apparently I have a few holes in my memory LMAO

you don't remember white reg, prushka ghost and ugly bastard with dildo sword?


....granted, I forgot the ugly bastard too until I saw him again lmao

Wow, this was quite an episode. I like that we're still worldbuilding this creepy village, where you earn respect in a sense based on your value. And Riko has finally found that sort of respect, running around and saving the village. She even sacrifices her hair to Majikaja, who looked extremely cool.

I was so happy to see Reg again, and it was because Prushka as the White Whistle helped Rika to call him❤️ I was curious why his skin was darker, and didn't notice his shining helmet until the one Sage appeared and the colour faded back to normal. Riko and Reg's relationship is really the saving grace for me. Reg is so precious and strong, I really love his character.

Slowly we are beginning to find out more about Irumyuui and what knowledge Vueko has, and exactly where Faputa comes from. The story seems quite grim, I read a few spoilers, and I'm looking forward to Riko's reaction to it all. And I feel really bad for Vueko, as she was part of the rebels who didn't want this to happen...but as it seems, that's how this village was created, as demented as it is, the village is mostly harmonious and safe. And when you're in the 6th layer, I guess there aren't that many places to choose from.

At the end we get the teaser from Vueko's inner thoughts, that Reg is a true citizen of the Golden City, which we have zero information on. Oh! I hope the next episode is another back flash to the Ganja team! I'm ready for some creepiness from our Thee Sages when they were still in their human forms.

Only one weird scene where the workshop villager who was working on the Prushka whistle who mentions how erotic it was to work on, and how once he finished he climaxed????? The director showed Riko walk away before he says this, but wtf man. The whistles are embodiments of actual people, why so nasty

Also, Riko with short hair is very cute

Overall, a pretty enjoyable episode. But I think there's a critical information they shared in such a subtle way that no one's talking about it. It was when they said that the sages won't react unless the membrane is broken. I wonder what membrane means here, maybe something related to the weird object shown at the end perhaps?

KuroNekoAlchemy said:
Hope they won't cut later scenes, too.

I actually thought all the villagers in the village can’t die after what happened to Maaa but their fight against the hive creatures indicate otherwise.

So, Juroimoh immediately dies just after he shows up?

Noumu said:

Unfortunately that's exactly what I would expect them to do and not just cuts but also censorship which is going to downgrade some important scenes to a rather significant degree.

KuroNekoAlchemy said:


it's what they went through when they first entered the village

So lets see, the use of that cliffhanger in last chapter was laughable, we all knew nothing was going to happen, then we got a mediocre fight with a ghost inspiring apparition like the old DBZ and Naruto (Just PEAK, lol), Riko cut her hair and apparently we need to be impressed by that incredible sacrifice, maybe she will end the season full Jada Smith and the wacky Riko being a capable commander is totally normal, yeah... It ends with Rueko sharing some information and I really hope next chapter is about the Ganja-flashback story, 3/10 episode and the season goes down to a 5.5/10 atm.

why exactly was the Prushka scene messed up?

Nanachi's loyalty is admirable.

I love the chemistry this episode and Mitty is easily becoming among one of my favorites in this season with her personality and overall character. I also think this episode did a decent job at its world fiction elements.

The difficult decision Riko had to make was also quite tense.

KuroNekoAlchemy said:


Juro is a special case, it will probably be explained later.

Some villagers can't die, some do die. It's narehate magic.
