Great episode though i am quite sad they cut a few scene from the novel.but the Anime version is still a dream come true event for me ^^
Where is the blood splashed coming out from his head!!!!I guess the Anime version is less violent than the Novel.....
Next episode is Akutou Bita.
Nanami Vs Shicika

Konayuki was too adorable. I'm glad she didn't die, but I want to see more of Pengin also. It's something to do with the eyes or something, so mesmerizing.

I'm going to hate next month with the death of Nanami... oh noes flashbacks of Xingke.

As I haven't read the novels, I didn't think Shichika would have to kill his own sister in episode 7, as mentioned in the preview, which wouldn't make it a spoiler anymore. I thought if there was a chance of that, they'd do it later in the series like at the climax/close to the end, but now I'll feel sad that Nanami won't be around anymore for 5-6 more episodes.

Considering how the show alternates between scenes with supposedly extremely graphic violence (decapitation, mutilation...etc) to comic scenes with fun jabs ("cheerio", "moe" character designs for facial expressions, and even sometimes dirty jokes like sexual innuendo, such as that shadow behind paper doors during the Sentou Tsurugi episode), I assume the novels depict more violence you'd come to expect from samurai-like themed titles.

I hope they made episode 7 pretty damn epic if they're going to kill off one of my favourite characters from the series.

Awww shit, man. What's up with the "spoiler" at the end? I mean, it was already obvious from the flashback who it was that killed them all but still. I was pretty surprised she was THAT awesomely overpowered.

Penguin is one of the most powerful information officer in maniwani corp.In this episode,Houou also praise him.
His abilities is the most unbelievable weirdest out of all the 12 ninja.

Since Maniwani is the side cast,so I think a few changes doesn't really matter much.Since Novel 's contents(especially Nisio Isin's work) is the most longest compare to Manga and Anime.So I can't expect the director copy the Novel exactly the same.
....Anyone read the Novel here??

Yeah, the delivery was so casual with that too.

Great episode, loved everything about it, Togame in the first portion was just too cute. It was pretty easy to guess that the sister was out there after the first time the ninjas mentioned somebody crushing a town, but I still got excited after seeing the flash back. Can't wait for next months.

Then I'd guess you haven't really watched much anime... not much at all...

In any case, you guys are too trusting. Remember the troll in episode 4? Why not the same again? Tell us she is going to die and then actually not kill her. It is completely possible.

At the end Togame: "What? You had a change of heart? Don't tell me you have a thing for little girls?" ROFL Both her and Shichika are so cute when jealous. :)

Ohoho, the 7th episode of the 7th novel of Katanagatari where they obtain the 7th sword on the 7th month of their journey is airing on the 7th day of the 7th month of the year and is focusing on NANAmi. Sorry, I couldn't help pointing out the obvious here XD. I just love it when producers do things like this.

When did Shichika become so witty anyway? xD
Oh well, when it's cold like that, Togame seems more like a child than usual ^^;

I usually despise these little kiddish characters, because kids are annoying.. But this Konayuki is pretty adorable anyway~

Woah, Shichika actually suffered an injury O.o
And that was in a fight that wasn't even dead serious xD...

Kyouken in Konayuki's body was even more adorable xD

OH Snap, I had a feeling that Nanami would be the perpetrator when they mentioned that whole city being razed in half an hour.. (She obliterated Konayuki's village too, didn't she? >.>)
But.. Yeah, this is getting even better~

During Konayuki/ Kyouken flashback, isn't it hinted that Nanami wiped out Itezora clan. Doesn't that mean Nanami currently has Kyoutouryuu, 3 type of Ninpou, Bita and a possible super strength ability. Plus she kicked Shichika's butt before she gained all that.

The only reason why she lost that I can think of is that she doesn't have Main Character Plot Armor. She mustn't die, she is too badass to die.

sure Nanami lose =P haha this is stupid answer >.<

Have u seen the similarity between Konoyuki and Nanami??If you compare you might figure it out ^^
Why did Konayuki lose? Why did Konayuki use that ugly sword?

Actually when I think a bit further,I realize the reason why Shichika win the last episode is the similar situation of how Konayuki win Shichika in this episode...

Hearts for cute innocent Konayuki. Flower for seemingly innocent Nanami.

Well we can't have Nanami joining up Togame. She would wait/force the opponent to use their technique twice then proceed to end the battle in 5s.

Another reason why Shichika will lose, Ninpou:Ashigaru + Kyotouryuu: Iris = Teleport

ultimately If nanami loses it means he will have surpassed his sister or she will have let him win. shes bored to death and she just wanted to kill time. by this time Shichika's himanity is developing well and he will have had a reason to actually kill her.

i kept thinking that someone might ambush that snow chick but i cant imagine anyone actually being able to kill her. it would have been too sad to have her die as the last of her kind.

Konayuki~ <3. Glad she isn't dead but it's sad that's she won't join them in the journey. Hope she shows in future episodes.

Shichika gaining some human emotions but losing some sharpness as a sword. This plays out that he might get conflicted in the "spoiled" fight with his sister.

Togame also has conflict in her now about what to do after collecting the swords. Wonder if this has a deeper importance. And Togame has short hair in the preview then it became long? Confused a bit there.

But damn, wiping out 2 villages, one in only half an hour. Nanami must be gaining a lot of abilities and skills as she travels so she should overpowered by now. There's no way Shichika will beat her, unless that finishing move does. But then, will Shichika really kill her? I hope not. And woah, overkill in the preview, kicking the bodies.

Great episode. The narration at the last part kinda ruined the excitement of the next one but it didn't bother me as much. I'm hyped for the next episode. It's funny when one post here noted a lot of 7's related to the next episode and that's what makes it more exciting. Now for the long wait....................................

"I'm also confident that I can loose in a fight with a rabbit." That was my sentence of the day.

The episode was awesome, with great fights, very good developments, growing characters and an incredible atmosphere and setting as usual, plus a huge - and disturbing - final revelation and preview. Katanagatari's still on top this week.

Man, I'd sorta hoped that Nanami would've stayed on the island and became sort of an urban legend or something. Like, "People go in, but they never come out." or something.

@ambstrike
Shichika did said that even he seriously fight with Konayuki.It might still lose =(
The reason why Shichika win is because Shichika can see the "movement" of Konayuki.When Konayuki being possessed,Konayuki's "movement" move according the book.It means Konayuki lose to Shichika because she gain unnecessary skill .
Konayuki is also a genius(superhuman strength) just like Nanami(superhuman eye??)
A simple example:If a genius cheat in exam,What will you think of it?.first of all,Why would a Genius Have to cheat in exam,since a genius knows how to answer the question directly.Using his Genius ability to cheat in exam and not just answer the question directly is a stupid action.For me I think its just a waste of the genius ability.
unrelated info...

...huh...anyway ,Houou will explain better than me next episode( hope they don't cut this explanation from Novel). >.<

I was wondering the same thing with that. That takes out half the suspense.

Well, also to make up that no ninjas died last episode, two died this episode as someone said in the last episode thread.

Konayuki was oddly cute.

This episode was really really good. I just can't wait for the next episode after having the anime spoil me about Nanami who is going to die next episode (which also saddens me, as she was such a cool and interesting character...).

Also Konayuki was pretty cute, glad to see that there is still potential to see her appearance in the following 6 episodes.

Really looking forward to the following episodes!!!
