| Little Akari is really funny xD |
 |
| Wow, we get lots of character development for Toru and Akari, during their childhood, and to why he is so bloodthirsty for a war. A sad past that he had but still he kept on going forward. Guess Chaika still have memories to attain, but I hope she will recover them, now time to get the remaining parts of the emperor. |
| I have a feeling we'll be seeing Shin again at some point. |
 |
| omg young Akari was so cute! |
My Candies:     |
| Gawd, loli Akari is so much better. Quite a slow episode huh? Nonetheless, more information about the characters were given which is always a plus. hmm.. I didn't see Akari in the preview :/ |
| Tooru's past was sad but it was nice to see the reason why he's so driven to protect Chaika as well as being a saboteur. Akari was already clingy to Tooru even as a child. Some things never change I guess haha. The dog whistle bit made me laugh :p |
"May those who accept their fate be granted happiness." "May those who defy their fate be granted glory." |
| Chaika should just stop talking! Too much for my heart to take! |
| Stay Home and Wash Your Hands. Protect Yourself. Protect Your Loved Ones. Protect Your Community and Help Defeat Coronavirus. |
| Nice. A background story between the two. Akari is as funny as always with her lines. I like how they seem to be having fun splashing water to each other. Now we know why Chaika lost her memory. |
| Aw. Akari as a kid. I expected a bit more of their saboteur past though. |

| Loli Akari made me die a little from moeness. |
| I laughed really hard at Acura I dont know why Cool flashbacks, looks like its back to adventuring :D |
 |
| Memories. Good and bad. Akari was cute as a kid. |
| Considering Chaika might lose her memory, doesn't that means that her Father might still be alive, referring back to 1st eps, isnt that guy looks like her dad? - If Emperor Gaz already live for more than 300 years, doesnt that means Chaika also older than she actually is? I don't think she's 14. - Is it possible if she used up too many magic/memories, her body shrunk into a kid? - there is also possibility she is not the real chaika. - she might used to have a vast amount of her power, but then 'something' happen makes her lost her memories, or Emperor Gaz did something to her? - If Emperor Gaz is still alive, then the remains might had been his clone where he store his vast amount of power. - Shin do looks as someone important, maybe Tooru will fight him as enemy later.. tehehehe |

| I liked this episode, you got to love a back-story episode. The Mentor seems to be a gender swapped Akari lol. |
 |
| Some backstory, still a slow episode. I liked the little bit of economy |
 |
| "Don't praise me, brother. You will make my blush." As always, Akari has the best-est dialogues of the show xD This episode was slow-paced but I don't mind that when it comes to this anime. 9/10 |
 |
| Akari is the fuckin best. Fuckin BEST! |
| After episode 9, I can safely say that Hitsugi no Chaika has one of the most compelling plots and best cast of characters of any show I'm watching this season. I really liked this episode just from a character development standpoint. Not only did it tell a lot behind Toru's motivations, but it also goes to show just how hardened he'd become from the war. Even though he told Chaika such a painful memory, he showed no emotion whatsoever. I'm actually somewhat interested in how he became so physically and mentally hardened. Same with Akari as well. We could see as a child that she was much more emotional and rambunctious. |
| Mini Toru and Akari <3 Dat Saboteur life Poor Hasumini. I see why Toru is Toru now. Everyone heads to get the remains |
| Why Hasumin and no Jazmin??? maybe its pronunciation? |

| Wow finally a slow paced episode and a look at the backgrounds of most of the characters. This was a brilliant episode, definitely the best so far. 5/5 |
 |
| I love the boding of Toru and Chaika Toru past was tough and sad.... Vivi is still trying to tell Gillete her feelings Such a sweet episode |
 |
| Dat foreshadowing in those fortune cookie... Why do you spoil fortune cookie?! The real question now : will Vivi be able one day to get in Gilette pants?!?! I doubt it... Chaika being Chaika. But we learned something very important, about her memory lost. Could it also be related to her odd speech? Like she forgot her class lesson x) |
| «Time is passing so quickly. Right now, I feel like complaining to Einstein. Whether time is slow or fast depends on perception. Relativity theory is so romantic. And so sad.» - Kurisu Makise a.k.a. The Zombie |
| Memories are truly a precious thing. Great episode!!! |
 |
| Slow paced episode but good character development. 4/5 |
| MAL: A community that thinks every anime is bad, but rates everything a 7/10. |
| The entire show has just gotten so boring. I seriously skipped half and still got the majority of everything that happened, and they're going to make a season 2? :/ |
に触 祟ら りぬ な神 し |
| fairly slow episode, just showed some memories of the past lol small Akari was very kawaii, this was the best part of the episode in my opinion after the announcement of the second season storyline seems to have become slower |
  |
| This is one of the best episodes so far. I don't care what anyone says. |
| "whats so special about bonzai trees?" "They are the loli of the tree world."  Inganock of the Brightest Flame |
| 4/5 Along the lines of what happens before, there are relevant facts, but of secondary importance when compared to the mystery of the elusive king and Chaika Gaz! Drawings pleasant, Akari less morbid than usual and a minimum of substrate character on the secondary characters, however, make it enjoyable episode itself. The idea of ââmaking the fuel magical memories, I seem to have heard such an idea, if I'm not mistaken. Not very original idea instead of showing the discontent of the population, as something which you did not know the know. It seems that you want to pass in anime, the idea that people always want to keep in the dark in real life, things that in reality almost always happens, but there's also those who look beyond their own nose. Animations not bad. |

|
| I just noticed that Tooru has green eyes and blue hair and Akari has blue eyes and green hair, not really important I guess. |
| 日本人はイッちゃってるよ あいつら未来に生きてんな |
| Little Akari was cute as fuck! I wonder how she turns into a sarcastic stoic lady with a perverted sense of humor. I didn't expect them to actually explain Chaika's missing memories this early (considering we have s2 coming). Aside from that, a good albeit slow episode explaining Akari's and Tooru's past. Vivi's death flag? I doubt we'll ever see any of the main and supporting characters truly dying here but one can always hope. |
 |
| End of the war anniversary huh. Very nice episode; getting more character background on almost vry character and more world expanding. |
 |
| Filler episode. But loved Toru and Akari's past. |
| The world shall know the truth soon. |
| It's a bit stupid to have Toru and Gillette both always end up in the same town each episode, for literally the exact same time frame..and then they do not even meet. They do not even show us that Toru avoided them or anything. I preferred it where they at least deducted possible directions like in the beginning, instead of complete non-interaction but still ending up in the same town. Also, they showed a bit of Toru and Akari's past, but we only saw their mentor, not their parents or anything. Thats quite common in anime somehow. If there is a mysterious mentor, the parents are pretty much non-existent (even if still alive). And it looked like only Toru ever trained. And i agree, it seem likely that Shin will sooner or later appear again, and if he's more like "oh hi there, long time no see", it will be on opposing sides. |
| I laughed when I saw Akari all over Toru even as a kid. Then the back story for Hasumin and Toru's motivation to fight was interesting, but ultimately it didn't show why his elders allowed him to become a Saboteur. Oh well, I can always wait for the rest of his back story. Chaika must have had it rough if she had to use her memories to replace magic fuel. I'm guessing she was gonna try it once or twice, but in the end forgot she had tried it before and kept doing it, thus the memory loss. |
HESTIA   APPROVES |
YumeNoMonogatari said: Akari maybe doesn't have the moe and the eyebrows but somehow I think she has more charm and cuteness than the already very cute Chaika. Thanks god there is someone who thinks the same as me. |
 |
| Another slow paced episode but still good to me :D |

In the LN it goes into more detail , both of them are actually orphans and they ended up in a orphanage where they also train childeren to become sabaoturs but they left that bit out and yes it can confuse it like that. |
| I've been waiting for this: some more background on Tooru & Akari,although I would've wanted even more,I'll shut up & be content with this. Gotta love Akari. Cute as hell as a kid,pretty hot as a grown-up or at least good-looking compared to the other females in the show(red Chaika might give her a run for her money but she doesn't seem to be getting much attention) and often ready to deliver some hilarious lines. She's also almost as professional as Tooru,both in skills & attitude. |
| even though it was a slwoer/filler ep i still liekd it a lot I love the way chaika talks :3 i think it's adorable |
 |
| That magic fuel looks like lipstick and it seems Chaika can use her memories for her gundo and as magic fuel lol. Awww, chibi Tooru and Akari :3 Seems like Akari hasn't changed that much from her childhood. Poor Tooru T.T Tooru and Chaika bonding moment :3 |
| "Let justice be done, though the heavens fall." |
| now we know how chaika lost her memories. interesting |
"Urushibara Ruka. The mannerisms and voice of a woman... No... More feminine than any woman. But he's a guy. Taller than Mayuri, but so very thin... But he's a guy. Looks great in a miko outfit... But he's a guy. It's already twilight And yet, it's so hot. The cicadas are crying. But... He's a guy." |
| they have a whole village of saboteurs y they still not live there or go back there 2 get some recruits |
| Decent episode, least we found out more about Akari and Toru's past. I wonder what happened to Shin. |

| Akari <3!! |
| That brat in the shop was an annoying little shit ... glad he didn't stick around long. We got some flashbacks to Ikari and Toru's backstory this episode, which was nice. Also a hint as to the heroes' next goal, a leader of a mining colony who may have bought one of the Emperor's remains. Only three episodes left ... there's no way they'll be able to come any semblance of a conclusion in the amount of time they have remaining. I really hope there's a second season, I've enjoyed this show and want more Chaika! Hopefully the Blu-Rays will sell well so we can get more of it. |
| Didn't like this episode that much, guess it was transition episode again. �(���)� Edit: aw shit, my emoticons don't work? :o |
I almost never read discussions after I made my post, if you want to reply PM me or post on my profile page. |
| A nice and slow paced episode. I liked it. It goes to show that it doesn't have to be nothing but fight scenes to get entertainment out of it. Really looking forward to the next few episodes!

Hope this helps~! |
| That Shin-nii just looks like Kanda in d.gray-man, and they both got Sakurai Takahiro to voice them! |
