| If only Tokiyuki had stealth and disguise techniques on the level of Kazuma, he wouldn't get caught so easily. This episode had a mischief vibe but I love the chemistry among the cast. The eyeball reaction meme is still there as well. Sure hope Tokiyuki learned something from this experience. |

| Let the invasion begin. After having tow OK episodes back-to-back, we finally back to that good directing and animation. That aside, what a little rotten brat, trying to leave Tokiyuki and escape... He's lucky that Tokiyuki's a shounen MC, otherwise he would've gone. Speaking of people I want gone, can we please kill this quirky duo of Mr. Big Eye and Ears... QUICKLY. I can't stand them any longer. Seeing as a I want both of them dead, you can imagine the smile on my face when I saw Genba just toying with these fools. With stellar animation to back it up as well, ofc. With those fools down, it's back to the main objective of defeating Takauji, to which just absolutely OBLITERATED that entire team. I still see no way for these idiots to beat him. We're getting closer and closer to that battle against Tokiyuki and Takauji. |

| Cloverworks were back to their best in this episode, it looked great and that Takauji/Emperor’s son scene at the end was sublime. Two kids up against super hearing and super sight, what could possibly go wrong. In perhaps the most unsurprising twist of all time Genba tried betraying Tokiyuki, but Tokiyuki embracing and accepting him was too much for even Genba to resist leading to them working together to escape. Now that whole scene just looked gorgeous, Genba using the environment and his agility to overstimulate Sadamune’s lieutenant’s super hearing. Love how they visualised his rapid movements “Always take the money, even if you like them” pretty solid advice for anything in life really lmao. But Genba definitely respects Tokiyuki and is going to be a good ally now. That was probably Yorishige’s secondary intent sending them in on this mission together. Good bonding experience and they got rid of the imperial command which means the Suwa land is safe! Did not expect to see Genba’s whole ass out at the party tho 😂 The ending with the emperor son running thru the crowd as everyone welcomes and celebrates Takauji as a hero is one of the most creative and visually scintillating scenes I’ve ever seen. Absolutely horrifying how Go-Daigo’s own son is forgotten about by the crowd and they flock to Takauji. Otherworldly strength, charisma and an evil lurking within.. Tokiyuki is a looong way from being able to take him down but I’m excited for the journey. |

| Absolutely adorable episode. The gayness was sooooo strong that my heart couldn't handle it. Lol. The details were nice too and animation was going up again. But the quality of the animation is still... well.... lacking a bit. But it seemed more like the episode was released too early at some moments. Like with the moving of the horses when not using CGI. Soooo... Yeah. It was still a nice episode~ |
Life is too short for looking at the past. Enjoy your 'now' and just prepare a bit for the future~ |
| Really nice episode, I so can't wait to see Tokiyuki and Takauji face off it will be amazing. |
| Visually and direction-wise, this was closer to the earlier standards this set and it was mostly good (the stuff involving horses didn't look too bad either). I won't go on a tirade about the comedy again but besides that, the plot was pretty standard as a whole. The production efforts are promising, even if some sequences because of how overly well done they are have kind of a reverse effect on me for feeling way too forced. Genba's character did grow a bit tiring on me compared to last episode so everyone's on the same playing field now with being pretty meh. |
| I don't think this episode has completely redeemed this show for the previous two, but that was super fun and beautiful to look at. I hope we get more like this. |
| Mad respect to CloverWorks, this was a really ambitious episode overall. It really isn't my cup of tea at all - the anime has had lots of weird moments throughout and this one was by far the most uncomfortable watch yet. And yet it is still sort of mesmerizing in its weirdness. I can't tell if I like or hate it but I guess I'll keep watching until I find out |
| This keeps getting better, some stellar action and animation in this ep. Lots of gore too. Gotta love gore! |

| genba joins the group now |
| Genba didn't betray Tokiyuki and he got a strong ally. Visuals looked good in the action scenes. The scene at the end with Takauji was horrifying. The prince should join Tokiyuki. |
 |
| I've been having an absolute blast with this show. The animation is top notch, the characters are aloof in the best way possible, and the music is full of bangers. This episode again showed to me how independent the style is. It has the most attitude of any show this season by a mile. |

| @eksratu Some of the animation choices in this episode were amazing. And some were creepy. Overall a great episode. This has been a real sleeper series this season. |
| some cool visuals again but welp, more weirdos. |
 |
| I'm impressed by the animation. The imagery gives off a weird, unsettling vibe. Yes, they stole the Imperial Edict, which in itself is impressive. But the battle between out main villain and the emperor's son is on another level. |
| Takauji is actually terrifying. |
 |
| A pure eye and ear fest. This anime is has such an amazing way to encapsulate us in it's realm until the whole length of the episodes. All the crew members from studio are putting their amazing effort. The running sequence from Sadamune and his suck-up, the Genba's antics and his bonding with Waka-sama and the cherry on top is the Takauji sequence in this episiode. This anime is topping the chart all around for me be it the characters, story, sequence and staging, sakuga animation moments, opening music, ending music and even voice acting. Everything is just looking seamless and perfect. |

| Genba and Tokiyuki may have got their way out, but as good as Sadamune's archery and Sukefusa Ichikawa's stealth skills are in sniffing the two boys out, they're still not out of danger yet. Still, Genba tries to get a one-up by abandoning Tokiyuki, but fails due to Sukefusa's valiant stealth, and has to get helped by the latter to escape the thinnest of blade cuts. Together, these two are the literate definition of freaks, and Genba is not scared to intimidate them with Tokiyuki's help behind the scenes to separate them from the main residence and burn the warehouse down, which contains the Imperial Command. The Suwa citizens are spared from Sadamune, though Takauji's assassination of the Kamakura Shogunate, as decided by the Emperor, is a fallacy, retaining both Hojo and Suwa lands. At the very least, Emperor Godaigo's son Morikoshi knows of Takauji's betrayal and attempts to go after him, though there's no hell of a chance to defeat him in this manner, just beheading people like it's an easy feat, leading more people to him and his charisma, the likeminded-ness akin to be the next succeeding Emperor. Forever eternal enemies, Tokiyuki and Takauji. |

| I just got to say, the villains in this reminds me of Golden Kamuy characters bro lmao. |
 |
| This is by far the best anime from Summer 2024 anime season in my opinion. The way that past events are presented, how Kamakura shogunate is being reconquered and Tokiyuki’s adventures with Suwa clan are extremely great. Takauji Ashikaga surely is the strongest warrior. He must work hard and come with strong techniques in order to defeat him and take back the Kamakura. It seems that Sadamune won’t be a bother for a while. The animation is peak. The most beautiful moment from this episode was when Genba lit those flames to his rope when he fought Sadamune.  |
| holy fuck i always impressed with the animation .. but the comedy not too bad !! |
| Holy fck that Takauji scene. It's crazy how the episode goes and we got happy funny song as the ED LMAO |
 |
| Wtf was this episode? So many fever-dream moments. |
| "Papers ar not to be stolen, it's more fun to burn" _Genba 1333 The cooked so hard with that Moriyoshi Takauji scene. CINEMA. |
| Genba such a good guy will play tag with many generations Those eyes and ears need to get a room >.< Not sure why he let's that one guy live, but imperial degree: heads are illegal! remove them! One side is on top of world, one side is on bottom of world. My bets on the USA |
  |
| I didn't expect Genba to provide gag comedy moments but he did towards the end especially when he got drunk. On the flip side, Takauji is a cunning demon-type strong character that won't be easily defeated and I see that Tokiyuki has a long road of training ahead of him before he even has a chance. |
| The art direction of the Takauji scene was phenomenal. Watched it several times. |
