| Pengin's death was sad, a kid who got shot... even when he didn't want to fight. If Togame dies i can get over her death easily... not too fond of her character, i mean i like her... but just not enough. Shichika on the other hand is awesome, and now he's about to burst in flames and become the Perfect Deviant Blade to kill Emonzaemon. I already guessed that Emonzaemon was gonna shoot her with Entou, and Shichika won't be able to do shit to stop it. Oh man best episode so far... seriously. Can't wait for the finale, Oh shit! it's a month away T_T |
| Sad to see Penguin die and didn't see Togame getting shot coming but it will be really upsetting if she dies, which will probably happen. I see a few people wonder what they meant by Shichika being completed now.....here's my take: If you think about it from when they started out on this journey and how Shichika and Togame functioned, it was sort of one sided. Meaning he was fighting/killing because of Togame and not for his own reasons (even though he decided to go with here and follow her orders). But now that she is dead, he will continue to fight/kill for his own personal reasons not Togame's. And if you think about it, all the blades were weapons...just that, meant to only be used. Now he is using himself (as the weapon) because HE chooses to and not someone else. So my take on him being completed that he is a blade can kill and can decided to kill on his own accord. Can't wait for this final ep.....can't believe it's ended either. But like they said "the end of any journey, is the end of everything" |
| Just wow. Yeah, great episode, great series; it'll be interesting to see how they end it. |

torrentsven said: if togame is dead this anime is shit i have the same thoughts |
| so one ep left and still hope for togame and happy ending. |
 |
| What a cliff-hanger... Please let Togame live; not for her sake... but for Shichicka's... ;_ ; The episode was brutal... I didn't expect 2 out of the 3 'deaths'... (Pengin & Togame)... Ugh... next month cannot come soon enough! |

wakka9ca said: For those wondering, there is a trailer for the last episode here: http://kiwi.kz/watch/aee6tjcicm4z The third part of the video is the trailer.....very symbolic.... And again, TT___TT Togame. That trailer is great... look closely at Shichika's expression and eyes - they have changed in an important way |
| What a superb episode !! There are flowing battle, especially the shuriken-duel between Houou and Emonzaemon Praise for those pretty romantic sessions between Shichika and Togame too ^^ But its so superb that its like i want 2 say F**K You to Emonzaemon for what he did to Pengin,, and Togame too. It was too bad cause i just started to love Pengin. Undoubtely brutal death for my favourite character. T,T Cursed you, Emonzaemon and your master, Hitei-hime. I just want to see how will Emonzaemon be finished next episode !! |
 |
| Awesome epsiode full of win ! 5/5 The first fight with Houou and Emonzaemon was amazing. And what an ending wow I hope that Togame stays alive but it wouldnt surprize me if she dies because almost everyone died till now haha. |

| Awesome cliffhanger to a relatively eventless episode (apart from some revelations and Houhou's expected defeat). Still a great setup episode for the final one. |
 In every age, in every place, the deeds of men remain the same. |
| TOGAME!! :( In the words of Peter... holy freaking crap!! Unreal episode, her about to die... The way Enzo kills just reminds me of those movies where the guy is like (Any last words? Yeah, you suck balls. Die, you bastard.). Now I just hope Shicka goes postal on his and the princess's asses with Togame in his memory. Now that would change history. |
 |
| My guess - Togame, Shichika and Hitei will all live for at least another 12 months <shrug> |
 |
| Whew. I might rewatch 1-11 when 12 comes out |
| Don't forget. Always, somewhere, someone is fighting for you. As long as you remember her, you are not alone. |
| Ugh, every time I read the words Togame and dying or dies my chest tightens up. I really hope she makes it. I'll be extremely upset otherwise. |
 |
| HOLY F***!!! togame's dead?!!!!!! O,O damn this episode was packed! and the setup for the next ep....omg...i'm speechless....i soooooooo can't wait for the next one to come out! T^T and i hope togame's not really dead....plz.....nooooooooo T^T |

| She can live dammit, 50 Cent was shot 9 times and lived. |

| Man, I shouldn't have watched this episode so soon. I should have just waited until episode 12 came out then I could've watched both and had no cliffhanger. |
| How long would it take to earn 50 million yen, Karasawa? - Katsuya No longer than it would take to get to the bank, provided I have a gun. -Karasawa I'm through talking with you. -Katsuya |
| Togame got gunned down. |

| just one thing before i go on to loving this episode too much NisiOisiN is a fucking genious. this guy is brilliant. this anime may be simpled down a bit from the novels, but it is still a pretty good mindfuck in terms of who the enemies are and the truth behind the katanas and everything. it was really nice seeing the founder of kyotouryuu. no wonder shichika can't use a sword, the founder sucked at it. the ninja fight was good, but i am still a bit confused as to who emonzaemon really is. yeah, he is a really legendary ninja, the only survivor of his clan, but.. what was his relationship with houou. houou using the deviant blade was interesting. also him turning into shikizaki kiki, or a really fucked up dude. togame has turned so nice... <3 i love how shichika is so... simple and everything, togame and him make a perfect complementary pair. emonzaemon beating luck was lucky... i swear it should have ricoche'd towards him instead. shichika beating shikizaki was interesting. but kiki's methods were weird... could he really see into the future? and if so... wth? the ending was too sad. it's kind of an annoying end, but.... cliffhanger D= poor togame, don't die from two bullets D= and shichika... is finally the perfect kyotouryuu.... togameee!!! i want a happy ending.... this anime is too good to have a bad end... |

| Holy fuck, what a horrible way for Pengin to die. Kudos to the writer. Even though I love Emonzaemon, I also like Pengin... and that was hard to watch. I liked this episode more than the one with Shichika's sister, and that was pretty hard to top. Moved the show back up to 6/10, hopefully it can sustain this level for the last ep. Togame also getting shot surprised me. D: What is gonna happen nextttttttttttttttttttt |
Richard_Omega said: but.. what was his relationship with houou. Ninja is almost completely useless in the time of peace.If Togame didn't hired these Ninja,I bet they could have been perish from hunger or been disbanded.I am not sure why Maniwani corp attack Aoi corp,but I can make a small speculation of why. I think Maniwani destroy Aoi corp in order to gain the last Aoi ninja, So that Houou can steal the part of body of the "last ninja(Emonzaemon)" . Houou said: well, not matter how common sense you are.unfortunately your subordinate(pengin) doesn't have common sense (lending the deviant sword)"I am not a leader. You are overestimating my position. I merely took on a provisional directorial role, since I have comparatively more common sense than the others." |
| yap, if Togame still alive after she was killed, then this anime is stupid. |
 |
| Wow ... simply waaa ... I did not expect this, awesome ep. At the beginning Emonzaemon. Nice fight with Houou but, he could let go of the kid, or at least quickly finish him off... So Shikizaki Kiki foresaw the future... Well it certainly explains a lot. And ending. The setting sun, I think to myself, a nice Shichika x Togame romantic scene...But no... Ahh ... and how can now wait patiently for the last ep. |

| I think they screwed us over with the lucky ability of Pengin. I mean if he is lucky enough to curve bullets shot right at him, you'd think it would take less luck to not let bullets that are fired away from him to hit. The excuse that a ricochet was bound to hit him was crap since his ability was said to make even bullets move out of his way. The only way I'd be satisfied with Emounzaimon's defeat of Pengin's luck like that is if he has some ability over time and he moved the bullets passed the lifespan of Pengin to where his dead luck wouldn't let the bullets maneuver awayt. I say that just cuz Emounzaimon talked about his luck not lasting forever into the future and maybe that's also why his wounds from Pengin's fight and the huge slash from the fight with Houhou mysteriously vanished because he sped up the healing through time or reversed the damage through time manipulation. P.S. I think it'd be cool for her to die and the sword to be heartless again, I mean his a a deviant sword, not a nice sword a or nice human. ]The wound didn't disappear,it is still there and pengin slept for a few day after the slash from houou. I was saying that Emounzaimon's wounds healed because he was the first to get slashed by the possessed Houhou before Pengin, and pretty deep too. Then when he showed up to fight Pengin he didn't have any marks or even acted like he was injured. Then when he walked up and shot the girl at the end he didn't have the scratch on his face from when Pengin got him. |

| ^ Actually its more like manipulate the fate.its a active skill, not a passive. Pengin can increase the speed and the damage of the ball.Have you notice that the ball did not damage the room even its travel in such high speed.The door is made from paper and the ball didn't went out.... Pengin didn't know Emonzaemon is using such trick against him. Pengin's fight and the huge slash from the fight with Houhou mysteriously vanished because he sped up the healing through time or reversed the damage through time manipulation. |
| Oh wow. I wonder how many people are going to wish they hadn't picked this series up after the next episode. |
| Houou deserved better than that I think, being called "God Houou", just to die while being possessed. Still love the series though ^_^ |
| "Isn't life, by nature, a contest decided by a single round? However trifling the matter, it's not possible to return to the last save point by pushing some reset button." - Kazuki Hoshino, Hakomari, Vol. 1 |
| Hmmm...this episode was very good. It might take the last episode for me to fully realize whether or not it was great, but since I really didn't like how quickly Houou possessed by Kiki was offed, and how nonchalantly it was dealt with, I'll just stick with good. I was much more affected by Penguin's death than Togame's because it was just so much more graphic. Seeing the barrel go into his mouth and hearing him mumble for his life through it (and the visual change of the show) left a deep impression. That visual change was there in Togame getting shot, but not on her--on Shichika. Either way, I'm psyched for the best show of the year to finally be getting over with. |
| Emonzaemon, ho! ＼| ￣ヘ￣|／ |
| Protip: I don't really check the forums anymore, so if you want something, take it on my profile. Is it time for my long-awaited return to the forums? щ(ﾟДﾟщ) Nope™, probably not. |
| at start i disliked maniwa but as the story moved on ,i changed my mind step by step andi rlly liked Togame . only thing i dislike in all this eps is that 1 of Deviant blades is actually a gun , even tho it doesn't make sense , i guess it's needed for twisting a plot more .... in any case good ep ... |
Gabriel  |
| Well that's a shocker...good thing I can check out the next episode right now. |
| i saw two people that i didnt want them to die get shot pengin and togame DAMN YOU EMONZAEMON |
 True or False Anime + Manga = Chuck Norris / Chuck Norris |
| WTH!!! |
 |
| The bitch is finally dead. how come the last 2 episodes (ep10-ep11) are awesome? I hope it will have a great conclusion so I can keep the generous 7/10. Also animation improved quite a lot, less static frames, more great BGM, less annoying (repetitive) moments, the main character evolved in a good way, Togame not much, she was still the same bitch until she died which kinda killed my enjoyment in the middle of series. |
 |
| Ahhh tragic! I can't want Shichika to go completely INSANE in the next ep and tear that fool to pieces! |
     |
| O_O So many people died when they were killed in this episode... which was great btw (the episode). I just hope that in the next episode, by the time Togame dies, Emonzaemon will already be torned into pieces! |
 |
| I hope she's dead. I would love this 100x more if she's dead. She's honestly one of the most annoying protagonists I've ever seen. |
