In comparison to the other episodes this one felt light, I had gotten used to the unforgiving attitude of the island but now they find a mercifull monster and face a bunch of wholesome moments. It was a break from the constant "survival" feel the show has and gave us a moment to look onto different characters personalities.

The mc is getting his character development. In the end of the episode it felt to quite and I think perhaps the other two characters killed off groot because they already now have an idea of were the elixir could be .

I guess my highlight for this episode is Mei - she is so cute <3 and can seriously kick ass too. She is voiced by Kohara Konomi, same voice actress of Fujiwara Chika from Kaguya-sama.

At least now, they got more solid info about where the elixir/tan really is, and what obstacles they will need to tackle. With such info on hand, Gabimaru just becomes more hellbent on returning to his wife.

I do hope his wife is still there - I have a feeling she was already given to another shinobi or worse, force-impregnated by a lot of other shinobis from their village :(

I'm liking this show more and more with each episode. The dynamic between Gabimaru and Sagiri is just so so so much fun to watch, and it's great to see all these characters finally get a break and relax a little. I was wondering why the show felt so dark (aside from everything else) and part of it is probably that the characters haven't gotten a chance to rest at all since the beginning

Getting to see that flashback was also really sweet, and just hearing that whole speech about being able to let yourself relax so you can make it through life honestly hit pretty hard. I also loved how hearing Sagiri say a line and then Gabimaru hears it and remembers his wife saying the same thing in a different context, I just love it when anime do that

3/5

Another decent episode. This one had lots of info dump and a possible antagonist established

The mysterious little girl chase was done decently. Good overall direction and fluidity. Our group gets to the village and hang about. Suzihara is a complete mood this whole episode. All sorts of information on Tan and it's reprecussions were divulged including Tensen, an Immortal being apparently that can shape shift between a man & woman. Choso and his brother get done quite easily by one of these "Tensen". The latter bits felt too filler-ish for my taste and I was literally waiting for the episode to end at some points ngl. Yeah, it was all hot & steamy and Yes, Gabimaru fans might be eating good but I don't care for his same old bsckstories that add nothing new to his character. It's like....Get to the point already!!!

That aside, a decent episode. Next one should be interesting and I wanna see how they adapt it~~

Overall a really chill ep. Tbh the gang really needed this one, after like a day and a half fighting for their lives all of them could use the down time. I just find it a bit to comical that there actually was a bath house and how intact it was compared to the rest of the village, Yuzuriha definitely knew what her priorities were as well.

Massive lore drop tho from the talking tree. Basically confirming the Elixir is real and he is living proof, how the island is separated into 3 religions and the Tensen. They seem to be the next big problem, immortal beings with strong powers that won't let trespassers ever leave the island are some big words. The brothers sadly didn't get the memo tho.

Second half was, really chill. Damn seeing more moments between Gabimaru and his wife is so sweet. Idk something about jaded characters like Gabimaru that have been through shit their entire lives, then meeting a loving other that brings their humanity back and they slowly grow on one another is some serious gourmet shit.

Props to Sagiri also, she did a really good job at handling and calming Mei down and I definitely didn't expect her to pull out a her lvl 10 job skill of authentic Edo style bathhouse experiences.

Bonus:

The little girl is quite interesting. I feel like she's linked to the Tensen and somehow the Tensen will help them out because they didn't harm the little girl. This episode was beautiful almost?

Seventh Episode is heart warming because of Gabimaru who said that scars don't matter you are still beautiful whatever you are said to his wife that she still beautiful even though she has a scar on her face.

The narration and animation are great. The message he has given about the beauty of scars (it is almost always a sign of honor for men, but a stain for women).

Gabimaru and the group had it pretty easy in this one, with the bath and stuff (Yuzuriha made sure to enjoy that).
A decent bit of info about the island.
These Tensen definitely seem like they could be a problem (looking at how they dealt with Choubei and Touma), since they also can heal really easily.

Good to have more information about this island and the elixir, which is in the middle and third part of the island so now they know what to do, but these immortals sure are something especially with this little girl that you could almost see as Gabimaru and Sagiri's adoptive daughter already (xD), but I like Gabimaru's making her more confident about her scars since he did the same regarding his wife.

We got info about the Soshin and the Tensen. The Tensen are basically the 'gods' of this island. They have this mysterious glowing aura, eternal youth, and immortality it seems. Maybe the Elixer of Life, Tan is the source of all of this.

Are the mountain bandit brothers captured? I don't think they would be done so easily.

Hoko and Mei are a pretty cute duo ngl.

That backstory of Gabimaru and his wife was so fucking wholesome man. No wonder bro wants to go back to his wife. She is his shelter.

Firstly I wanna talk about the Elixir being real and the threat of the Tengen, they are immortal beings, the same as the old Treant and the little girl. But if you notice, although they are "immortal" and can't be killed/hurt it seems that the girl has a large scar on her back, I think this will be very important later on in the story but for now it has strengthened the storyline and has given us direction into what we are looking forwards to. Nextly the Bath scene where Gabimaru goes into the bath and has a bit of a flashback to his wife. It seems like his wife is 100% an amazing woman, so I trust that she hasn't installed anything completely crazy into Gabimaru's head. The little girl seems to be mute but most likely there is a reason for that as well. Anyways next episode we will be in the middle of the island most likely searching for the Tengen, I cannot wait to see how Gabimaru and Sagiri, etc. deal with them!

The final bathhouse scene was pretty good. The line about not being worried about appearance was nice and Sagiri's reaction to it was the best thing so far.

I figured this from the start (thanks to that one FGO event), but I guess this episode confirms it. They're looking for Hourai, aka Mount Penglai. Which means that Xu Fu could show up at some point, since he never returned from his second mission.

Um episodio de pausa um pouco mais descontraído depois de muita ação que cumpriu seu papel mas só isso mesmo.
Eu achei a trilha sonora boa mas mal usada desde o primeiro episodio e o anime tem algumas personalidades muito forçadas
O negocio dos gurus achei interessante, se for bem trabalhado pode ter um bom plot 
Gostei ta ultima cena que o protagonista fala para a menina não esconder a cicatriz

Oh, so there are immortal beings. And they can change gender apparently? Also, they are ... flowers right? I mean he restored himself by building up plantlike stuff. The brothers seem in a situation where I guess they gonna die soonish? Can't imagine them surviving this.
The little girl is cute. Wonder if the other 2 will try to kill them off and she gonna protect them together with treeman.

Though i do enjoy this show, there is one thing stopping me from likeing it more and thats Sagiri. She has her moments but overall i dislike her.

Overall this episode was enjoyable i like that tree guy he was pretty chill, and those shapeshifting gods were weird.

After this episode two people have become some of my favourite characters that being Aza Choybei and Touma there cute together.

After the shitty previous episode, this one wasn't so bad, I kinda enjoyed it and we are finally getting some development in the story.

I have to say though, that little chubby guy with the glasses is useless, he hasn't done anything since arriving on the island, did they really send a bunch of newbies like him on the island to decapitate the prisoners? That useless little chubby guy better be acting, I expect him to turn into Aizen or some shit, it's not like I dislike that character because I don't, he's chill and likable and I actually like him, but again, sending newbies to that island to supervise criminals who are clearly stronger than them is just fucking dumb, my problem isn't with that useless chubby guy, my problem is with the story that is weak because of shit like this, it's weak writing man so he better turn into Aizen or some shit because if he ends up being useless I will have to remove another point from this anime.

And why do you have to turn the girl into a man?

Some interesting new characters in this episode! Can't wait to learn more about them, especially the source of the pink-haired girl's power.

I really enjoyed the last few minutes at the bath. I thought Gabimaru was really kind and thoughtful.
