Oh boy the Hakumen is finally out...

I love the scene between Ushio & his mom, touching stuff. I knew that head apt would be interrupted lol, you could see it from a mile away. :/

Best episode of the whole series so far.

The awakening of Hakumen is here. From this point forward it's one giant awesome moment made up of separate awesome moments.

And we got a sweet reminder that the Hakumen not only is fucking giga-strong but also freaking giga-normous.

The scene with the mom, was well...................awkward. It was sweet and it was emotional, but it was weird, I mean nobody knew what to say or how. And I for one loved Ushio going all "I think imma complain. I know what you've been doing but I still wanna rant" then he sees the mom and "I cannot say nothing" which is natural, I mean Ushio is a KID after all, about time he behaved like one that does not know what to do.

Hakumen ain't gonna hold back punches.

The mother son moment was nice. Really hoped she would have at least been able to pat him on the head before the torpedoes hit.
But no. As soon as that happened, shit got real. Hakumen is free. That whole sequence gave me chills. Hakumen really is menacing.

I used to feel bad about this show not getting more recognition, but not anymore. Rushed, badly written and starring one of the dumbest main characters in a shounen, obscurity is exactly what it deserves.

Anyone know whether the bgm playing when Asako and Ushio are talking is in the OST already released? I want it, but not sure if it's new or was in that OST.

Finally we gotta see two things: Ushios mom and Hakumens awakening.
Ushio meeting his mom was really awkward which was ok since this way the first time after a very long time they met.
But seriously, JUST A PAT ON THE HEAD ? IS HE A FREAKING DOG ?
They should hug like there is no tomorrow like literally.
This youkais are really dumb they should not fight in dire situations but now the destruction shall begin.

Ushio's mom was the only one not afraid of Hakumen.

I have one big plot hole though, wasn't Hakumen sealed because he got himself in a pillar that supported Japan and if he got out of it or people attack it, Japan would collapse?

I have read manga. This episode did not mention it yet. But Japan had begun sinking. It's just not in a sec. The consequences will be brought up later in story.

The scene with Ushio's mom was absolutely beautiful. The voice acting of both of them was superb. I hope she doesn't die but that is maybe asking for too much.

Hakumen no Mono is one of the biggest, meanest villains in anime history. Seriously scary mofo.

Man, the coming out of the water had some major Godzilla vibe's, I LOVED IT.

And the scene between Ushio and his Mom was so damn beautiful and very well done.

His reunion was awkward as fuck, lmaooo. Really hoping she gets out alive. It'd be nice if Ushio got to spend some time with his mother after all them years.

I can't fucking wait till every one of those idiots in the Navy realize how fucking stupid they are. I also hope they get their asses destroyed by the Hakumen. Fucking idiots.

HOLY SHIT that was an intense episode and a half. I knew something bad was gonna happen but I was kinda expecting more casualties, although I'm sure those will come soon enough. Honestly surprised his mum didn't die in the middle of their reunion, but I guess the universe has shat on Ushio enough that they let him have that one.

Really looking forward to the rest of the season. I feel like these episodes have just been a buildup to the big fight, which is fair enough, but I can't wait until Hakumen starts wrecking ALL the shit.

So, is it too late to read the parts before this manga style? Did they skip important stuff?

Before season 2 they skipped an arc introducing the west youkai. It's a rather long and important arc. Ushio&Tora got a prelim fight with the Hakuman.

Other skipped arcs are mostly self-contained monster-of-the-week. You can say they are skippable. However, some recurring characters are totally skipped. e.g. there was a rogue monk who fought Ushio for a few times. And some character developments are skipped too. e.g. Hyou the exorcist originally had some arcs of his own, showing how much he hates youkai and how badly he wants revenge. All these skipped contents made the final battle less spectacular.

Says someone who gave Angel Blade AND Sonic the Hedgehog a 10/10...

Yeah, no one cares what you have to say. I'm pretty certain you have no idea what "badly written" actually means. *coughcoughSonicTheHedgehogcoughcough*


I'm sure Hakumen would've sent the hiyou to erase Ushio's mother's memories, but probably couldn't, since she was also inside the barrier. Imagine how that would've went if she too didn't remember him.


I didn't feel sorry for the dumbass humans at all; the idiots who fell for it and wouldn't listen. Deserved what they got.

I found it kinda funny East and West switched places in the anime and manga. It makes a bit more sense in the manga, that the normally rash West suddenly didn't want to attack first like East, but it's because a hazy memory of his last failure is keeping him from doing so.

Since that didn't happen in the anime, roles are reversed that West wants to go first and East is being cautious. What he's remembering doesn't really make that much sense to be relevant to the battle at hand, but I guess it still works. Still, funny though how that happened.

Life can be cruel and unfair. At worst it can traumatize and cripple you. The desire for wanting things to return to the way they were can cost everything and changes nothing. The best way is to keep moving forward, struggle on.
Anger can be powerful but can only get you so far. Let people into your life even if some of them leave you in time.

Fight. Like. Hell. For everything and everyone you love. Always.

Damn, what an intense episode this was!

Some brilliant directing during the buildup and what a way to end the short but touching reunion between Ushio and his mother. Hakumen still creeps me out and his return was equally terrifying! Can’t wait to see what the final next few episodes have in store for me!
Episode title for next episode is really worrying me but I hope things somehow work out! I smell Sacrifices and I mean lots of them.

Wow. Awesome episode! Loved the awkward reunion between mother and son - seemed pretty much like how a 13 y.o. would act! :) Sad she didn’t get to pat his head, but of course saw that coming.
Geez - I don’t think they could have made Hakumen any more scary and epic - what an entrance! Shades of Godzilla, for sure, plus the creepy af voice! Chills.

My God, Hakuman is massive. Interesting to see how they defeat that monster. Seeing him next to scalable objects, you get a much better idea of his size.

Pretty cool beast tbh, very freaky.
