| The giant was mentally just a child with no understanding of what he’d done, was doing, or even why he was set for execution? All he wanted was to know why he was always hungry and why no one wanted to play with him. So sad and so unfortunate. |
 "Are you intoxicated, or just insane?" |
| Those lesbians making out had more fluid animation than the whole Gabimaru-Rokurouta fight. Maybe watching this after the recent Demon Slayer episode wasn't a good idea... And yes! The Sagiri from Episode 1 is finally back. Now let's see how long it will take for her to revert back to being a nervous wreck again. |
| Yuzuhira cheering for Gabimaru was just too good xD That ending was also pretty bonkers |
 |
| Unlike the first three that got me excited, I didn't like this episode, I thought this passage through the forest would be a quick thing to get to some interesting challenge and explore more of the mystery. But now it's become clearer that the anime isn't so much about those mystery and suspense aspects and more about this analytical fighting style and illogical questioning about whether or not sagiri feels capable of doing things... Of course she can, but I don't even have that much expectation that it's her defying the order of things towards the end and doing things her way. Just think a sec, what "balance and stay in the middle" has to do with anything? For me all that sequence was poor dialogue writing. The development of the characters, I don't think it goes much further than this right here. |

| 10/10 ep and that ending scene oml 😍😍 so damn HOT i like it Great ep. Sagiri is strong man!! And really sweet to see her conviction. I like her growth. The blaze ninpo art Gabimaru uses looks so damn cool. Animation is incredible. Purple hair chick is still hot asf. This show really has a great cast! |

ryzxgum said: i struggle to focus on anything else when yuzuriha is on screen, just her presence is- but that animation still ain't it. makes me glad i read the manga first instead. we get out first look at tao fa and ju fa and that was a very well-animated kiss, guess mappa got different priorities. aza is a complete savage, drinking blood like that. LMAO agreed on Yuzuriha, she is so damn hot. As an anime-only I think the animation is excellent every ep. Especially when Gabimaru uses his blaze ninpo arts |
|
| Alright I guess, the fight itself was fine but the animation was quite lacking. On the contrary, the final scene with that glorious kiss... I see your priorities Mappa. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) |

ryzxgum said: HAHAHAHAH.. literally me bro🤣 I have to pause anytime they pan over Yuzuriha... that whole outfit of hers does wonders. Massive fan of the black ninja tabi/socks/leggings she's got, ngl. And the side cut-outs. Omg. (Sorry)i struggle to focus on anything else when yuzuriha is on screen, just her presence is- but that animation still ain't it. makes me glad i read the manga first instead. we get out first look at tao fa and ju fa and that was a very well-animated kiss, guess mappa got different priorities. I need her to have more moments like when she had Gabimaru in a lock a few episodes ago. |

| Another okay episode. I seriously do not know what to think of this anymore :/ Main problem for me (and for many others), is the pacing. It feels just a bit too slow I guess? It's hard to describe but these last few episodes have just felt like nothing, and we're basically half way through this show. The main highlight of the episode for me was probably the little bit of backstory we got for that giant, but then he got killed off just a few moments later. I also like the scenes where we see the island, and that village at the end was cool, and while I am interested in learning more about it, that's the thing. I am ONLY looking forward to just seeing more of the island at this point. I really am not interested in most of these stories :( And wtf was that ending. I may be dropping this one here |
 |
| Finally Sagiri got her mojo back and killed tha fucking giant. Cool |
| Not the best episode but an important one cause it showed how strong Sagiri can be if she’s not faced with the limits her own family place upon her as a woman. Next weeks episode is gonna be… mind blowing to say the least! |
 |
| Rokurota is no joke, he's like a massive baby dayum |
 |
| It would be better if they could make the production more stable, animation isn't so good. Last scene was peak. |

| amazing human "monster" and surprise and the end of the episode!!! kekeke |
| Gabimaru setting the whole forest on fire with his Ninpo: Ascetic Blaze looked simply fantastic. I loved the colors and exposition of this whole scenery. |
| Loved this episode and the fight. Sagiri finally being more accepted/respected by her mentor. |
| could've gone for more Rokurota backstory and presence before his assassination, honestly. peculiar and interesting character. a lot of this show reminds me of Basilisk so far. |

| That ending is like NANANANANA. |
| It's nice to see Sagiri getting her shit together for once. The ending with those two was unexpected. |
 |
| The ending was the best part. Those brothers are dead for ruining their fun. |
| 臭い- |
| Yeh i mean that was pretty good, really Sagiri focused ep which was neat. Pretty big character growth for Sagiri, I guess from Genji words she found a new form of focus and inner peace which allowed her to overcome some of her fears as an executioner. Adding the previous ep and how Gabimaru's words gave her the motivation to overcome the gender divide that had been haunting her for some time, she's gotten some pretty solid character growth. Also interesting to know that Sagiri could possibly be way stronger then we realise. Like they said, the Yamada Asaemon ranks seem to deeply underestimated her just because of her gender, but reality is she is pretty skilled. Rokurota giving Gabimaru a run for his money, the action this ep was good. Got to see a real test of raw power and wits, Gabimaru being pushed to his limits and trying to analyse what he can use against Rokurota, then the duo with Sagiri, all of it was pretty well animated. Ending was kinda wild, honestly i would feel more surprised that there are humanoid figures that could be inhabitants on this island full of crazy. |
 "yabe." |
| The battle with Rokurota was not bad, it could not have been better. It seems that the hermits who need to be killed do not look like elders at all. |
| She finally did it! Thank god they finally teamed up together. Now for that last scene hehehe |
 This never updates so that's cool |
| Sagiri finally embracing the inner Kuchiki Rukia. Also, did not expect to get a boner at the end of the episode. |
