| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Well it looks like Seigen got his come uppence for plotting against the sensei. Its got to hurt when your eyes explode like that. |

| Oh dear God I was wincing through that entire 'white hot metal meets something that it shouldn't scene sitting crossed legged... Eek And OMFG that eye slashing scene was just brutual, I didn't feel much for Seigen before but this past episode a great deal of pity has come. I love this anime series so damn much. What else freaky, brutul thing can possibly happen in the upcoming episodes. |
     |
| Kogan is brutal pretty much, and creepy as hell. I don't get how he knew about Seigen messing around though, in regards to the nipple thing. |
| I guess it has something to do with Seigen doing the bean slicing trick off her nipple in episode 3 or 4. |
|
| From what I've heard from bloggers this is where the series starts to kick in, when not really in pace, but in the progress of the story. If you liked what you've seen you'll love what's next. |
    Sam is my sweet peach |
| It definitely feels like now the story begins, with the allusion to the three monsters and the "birth day" and all. I've loved it up to this point, looking forward to the rest! |

He mentioned how he could sense who had used his tools. Fujiki managed to use his sword and Kogan found out so I presume he thinks of the woman (can't remember her name) as his tool and hence the same principle applies. |

| 3! Awesome episode, enjoyed it till the end. On a side note, I'd love to see a woman like Mie fight with this drawing style. That'd look awesome. |

| What a great episode! Found the nipple eating part really disturbing =S |
| I liked how Mie ended up falling for Seigen too. Crazy hypnotic showdown on that hill. |
"I'm starting to think mal is run by Xinil generating electricity on a bicycle." - idklol |
| Yeah, that's a nice twist. You don't see that a lot. The girl falling for the other man. Then again, neither Fujiki nor Irako is clearly the hero or villain in this anime. You sympathize or hate both by turns. The old man's the real villain. o.o |
| Absolutely loved the episode. Irako is now short a few things, and Fujiki is the inheritor. I'm liking Mie even more after learning those things about her. Lol at Kogan during Irako's fantasy of receiving the inheritance. |
| Samurais, they will eat just about anything won't they :S |
| It's scary to think how someone can be that violent. I suddenly have the urge to go out and read up on the psychology of violent murderers. :/ I'm actually feeling sorry for Seigen. As loathsome as his face is, no one deserves to go blind that way, or get that scary punishment. |
| I guess that explains how Seigen lost his eyesight, but how did Fujiki lose his arm? Can't wait for the next eps! :D Lol stupid Mie, she completely misjudged Siegen. "Oh he was protecting my pride!" Sorry darling, no, he's just making sure his place is cemented within the household by making sure you live and marry him and therefore allow him to claim the dowry. I wonder how Fujiki has changed and why apparently he's a monster now, too. @_@ So far I don't think he's done very many bad things (except for blindly following his sensei and not sticking up for Mie during the first succession announcement). |
| Very intense episode, probably with an even more suffocating atmosphere than the ones before. Really starting to like the series, can't wait how it continues to unfold! |
| I probably regret this post by now. |
| The seriousness was intense. Can't wait to see how many monsters where born on that day! Just being around Kogan can make you go crazy for those guys around him... |
| Really, Seigen hasn't done anything bad in this show so far aside from adultery (which, not like a lot of other people in the show probably didn't do it at some time too) and not caring about other people's feelings. Fujiki, now he's a total ass and a jerk. Not to mention, Irako is so far inherently the best character in the show cause he's the girliest. Seigen definitely didn't deserve what was done to him, but never the less the fighting was still amazing to watch. |
 |
| If you haven't seen this episode, I'm not sure why you're reading this, but I invite you to leave without reading this post. How come Seigen didn't deserve this? He fucked Iku and plotted against the man who was gonna hand him the freaking dojo. He was a dumbass and totally deserved this, IMO. 5/5 |

 |
| Seigen also killed his mother |
| Seigen's ambition finally got him seriously injured. And I wonder how Fujiki and Mie will be a able to be a couple now that she apparently fell for Irako. A brutal masterpiece this is. |

| Another pretty crazy episode especially that start with that nipple eating and those swallow slaying... pretty disturbing that I find it rather impressively interesting how they manage to present it together with the general storyline of this anime! |
 |
| wtf that guy ate the nipple.. and so much blood drooled out of his mouth. yesss fujiki got his revenge. oh. so thats how he went blind... |
~my list
| That opening scene though......lmao. Very weird. Very good episode though. Disturbing but good. |
 |
| This episode was really disturbing. The eye slashing scene was really brutal to watch. |
| Fucking scrubs couldn't handle Irako's swag He was clearly too good for them so they had to cheat That was really sad, what happened to him I never realized how much I liked him until this episode He's kind of going through a Griffith phase right now, if you know what I'm saying. Everything he has done was very similar to the events of Berserk. The art direction and use of colors and still frames really added to the experience, the director of this and Texhnolyze is truly a master at making superb anime |
 |
| You deserved it,man his eyes looks like byakugan. |

Although I do have a question, in the field on Akiba Mt., does anyone know what insect was lying on the floor dead? U can see them before the fight starts. |
 I REMEMBER TOUCH. PICTURES CAME WITH TOUCH. A PAINTER IN MY MIND. |
| Kogan has got a sick sense of humour. You want to learn my secret move! Fine, you can have it once you're blind, good luck using it.. |
| Nothing can happen until you swing the bat. |
| This episode was hell itself |
| Episode was awesome and now I'm really pumped up for what is coming next. Also kek at people in this thread who support Irako and said he didn't deserved that. He plotted against master and fucked his wife. Basically dripping venom everywhere. I just can't understand how can you like this snake. Fujiki>>>> |
| That moment when you watched this episode before starting the episode before it @_@ Oh well. Gonzaemon ate Iku's sliced nipple ugh. Irako got deceived by Kogan because of his conspirical treachery and got a taste of his own medicine along with that poppy infusion. Kogan might do fucked up things but it's better not ta do anything behind his back... Poor guy (not really) actually envisioned a happy end but all he got was a white-hot burnt dick (*shivers*) and slashed eyes that don't work for shit. The ladies actually had hopes for him, especially Mie but boy she's in for a letdown. Fujiki ain't happy with what happened to his former brother-in-arms it seems. 3 monsters have been born kek. |
 |
| This is the best episode so far it was cruel and epic at the same time i'm amazed |
| This show doesn't fail to impress,it was intense as fuck. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| Oh shit this just got better. |
If you are going to disagree with me, don't bother talking to me. I will seriously hurt you! |
| Well that's enough anime for today. |
 |
| Second half will be a blast. |
