| Mechanically I'm not sure what happened in that clash. Other than flying and super-strength what can Tengu do? I was having deja vu with that fireworks fight between the train and the ship in the sky. I swear that happened in the first season too. |

| Still waiting for the moment Yasaburo and Kaisei meet. I want Yasaburo to see her in her human form since he still hasn't? While Ginkaku and Kinkaku can be annoying, I find their interactions with Yasaburo and his brothers amusing and funny. I liked Yaichiro and Gyokuran's confession. Well, at least one of the brothers is going to get hitched and get together with the girl he loves. Nidaime is sure an interesting character. I actually liked that Benten lost against him. Now, let's see if she's going to fall for him. |
| Man, this episode reminded me of the first season. Wonderful stuff. The first two episodes of the season were kind of bland, but it's definitely found its groove now. |

| Dam Nidaime gave Benten the business lol. She was not prepared for that kind of gender equality. Honestly she kind of had it coming with the way she treated everyone in the show and expects them to always service her. Confession was cute too and also glad to see the twins get knocked down a peg by their big sis. |

| Yaichirou and Gyokuran confessed. Benten lost. Great ep. |

Takuan_Soho said: The ED pictures make it feel that way, since they are shots of scenes we don't get to see in the actual episodes, like when Benten was flying and noticed the two brothers were in the roof with Nidaime.A human who it trying to be a tengu fighting against a tengu who pretends to be a human. The results were preordained. Unfortunately. And Benten is going to lose the next time as well. |

Meta_Yoshi said: Sure, Benten has done bad things in the past, which certain people will enjoy her getting a taste of her own medicine, but for me, it only paints Nidaime has more of an antagonist than ever before. Whatever happened between the two of them in London must've been big for it to escalate further in this episode.. How is Nidaime antagonistic? Benten has been the one to escalate things so far. She shows up at his house uninvited, he asks her to leave and she refuses. He even had the courtesy to lay down a sheet before kicking her ass off the chaise, she then sullies his freshly ironed shirts out of pettiness. As we see in this episode she steals the chaise, if anything Nidaime has been on the defensive with Benten provoking him. Although, we don't know much about him yet, perhaps beneath that gentlemanly veneer he's up to no good. |

| I was glad how quickly they resolved Gyokuran's disappearance last time. And how Yasaburo and Yaichiro's first reaction was to follow right after her. Oh me of little faith I honestly thought maybe she'd been kidnapped by Tenmaya or something like that. Something very boring. I also thought this episode did a good job advancing Yaichiro and Gyokuran's relationship. It was clumsy but cute and endearing. I always like when Akadama's dere side comes out. I thought this battle of luxury cruisers was even more entertaining than last time. And it was cool seeing Yajiro's bus form again. I also liked Gyokuran just tearing the little Ebisugawa twerps apart. The ending of the episode was the most compelling part though. I was unsure (even with the hint in the eye catch) whether The Nidaime or Benten would come out on top. That was certainly not how I expected it to go. And I'm curious what Benten will do next. And how Akadama who's been furiously trying to deny the Nidaime will react to this. |

Although, we don't know much about him yet, perhaps beneath that gentlemanly veneer he's up to no good. I might be jumping to conclusions by saying that he's kind of antagonistic, but there hasn't been much shed about his past or his present appearances so far that, for me, really clarifies him as a good guy. Although he has had every right to be on the defensive against a Benten who has been provoking him too much, but I'm thinking she might have more of a reason to why she's doing this, other than being selfish and jealous or something. We need to see just what exactly happened between the two in London before we can decide who is more antagonistic than the other. She did ask Yasaburo on the train "Who do you like more?", in which she's referring to Nidaime in that question. She could be jealous that Nidaime's got Yasaburo's attention more, but like Takuna_Soho mentioned, she could be lonely because she doesn't fit in with either Tengu, Humans or Tanuki alike. Either way, I'm sure these questions about Benten and Nidaime will be answered eventually. It's giving my brain a bit or a workout trying to understand what's going on, to be honest, but that's what makes this show really engaging and fun! ^_^ |
| What an upsetting defeat by Benten against Nidaime...! 4/5. |
 |
| Benten got her ass handed to her! YES!! |

GanbatteBakemono said: The part of the soundtrack where Benten had her showdown with the Nidaime was particularly moving. Agreed! 😃 Love the digital tinkling sound, eerie and dangerous but sad. Perfectly summing up all the emotional components of the scene. lunarsensitive said: I think Benten has already fallen for Nidaime and that was the reason why she lost. I think that's what Yasaburo was hinting at. Totally agreed!! 😝 You mean when Yasaburo said he felt sad seeing Benten's expression when she was about to attack Nidaime, right? I think it's natural for Benten to fall for the only guy she can't manipulate, or who isn't afraid of her or in love with her. In next week's episode there's a grubby lilac-haired person carrying a dead pheasant. Is that Benten after her haircut? |

| I think it's almost certain now that it's Akadama and Benten in the ending credits piggyback scene. The setting, time of day, and Benten's kimono match this episode. Also he always wears those tall geta. But Akadama hurt his back. So if that is him, this could mean soon he'll recover enough to fly again. |

| In a sense, it is even more interesting to see this anime, especially because the snooty Benten, is humiliating again, and his defeat is even more searing. The story advances, despite appearances to the contrary. Interestingly, the question of the secret room of Yasaburo's father, I would like one too, occupy so little space. Eheheh! |

Yeah, they don't explain very much in this series. Was the secret room a gift from Akadama to Soichiro? Does the portal on the shogi board only open after 2 people who are in love finish a game of shogi? I wish they translate the novels, 'cause I wonder if it explains things more there.... |
| Probably the best episode so far even though I find both brothers annoying everytime they show up (you can tell me it's intentional but still, their blabbering is always bad). Also, we have a villain for sake of having villain. In other words - to let Benten grow. Otherwise, he's not really interesting character. |
| Ah it's youth and love xD Ginkaku and Kinkaku, funny siblings and a bit annoying because they always searching for troubles Guess they'll nevel learn xD I guess Benten isn't that strong Tbh I liked Nidaime character more than Benten I'm glad Nidaime beat Benten, maybe she could at least tone down her selfish actions |
"Signature removed"   |
| -that hole makes such a funny sound -for a second i thought yasaburo and akadama were talking about the tenmaya dude -huh, i randomly noticed that everyone in the crowd shots in this episode were all conventionally animated. pretty cool actually -gyokuran is just goin in -oh lmfao that wasn't her -these subs are super inconsistent -akadama the ultimate wingman heh -man that scene in the sky was pretty cozy until benten fucking came along -the problem is benten -kinkaku and ginkaku singlehandedly saving the scnee -damn, gyokuran just goin in -kinkaku and ginkaku are treasures -that was a pretty sick dogfight -hell fuckin yea dude, benten should get bodied like that more often If there's one thing I still don't understand from either of the seasons of this show, it's Yasaburo's fascination with that smug purple-haired asshole. She's just so pointlessly problematic and always starting trouble. Benten being absolutely BTFO at the end was just super cathartic. Aside from the episode being sullied in the middle by Benten's appearance, the episode wasn't anything too spectacular apart from the Kinkaku and Ginkaku shenanigans. Unfortunately it seems like Yasaburo is actually gonna try to redeem Benten, and I'm not looking forward to that at all. |

| I forgot how much fun this show is. So apparently Benten and him have met before? |
 Three things cannot be long hidden.. ...the s u n, the m oo n, and the tr u th. |
| Nice episode to be honest, loving the development! |
 |
| Wow Benten finally gets her ass handed to her! She's no match for the Nidaime! |
| I'm Bruneian and I like anime. And Manchester United. And fat cats. |
| Ah the wholesomeness and fun in this series is in a league of it's own. And hey, Benten definitely had it coming and in the long-run the reality check will definitely help her grow. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| Benten was so full of herself until her pride was crushed in a mere few seconds. 5/5 wonderful episode. |
| Nidaime 2 - Benten 0 She really is getting a reality check from him. |
| “I just spent the last two years thinking that you guys knew more than me about life and I just found out that you guys are just as dumb as me.” “Duh-doy.” “Yeah, duh-doy.” |
| Oh my god. Omg omg omg. Finally. FINALLY!! I've liked Gyokuran since she first appeared and I fully support her with Yaichirou. I was so happy to see that moment! (๑˃̵ ᴗ˂̵)و♡♡♡♡ but who would have thought that the reason why the secret shogi room was connected to Sensei's place had something to do with So-san and Tousen's story before marriage? :3 But of course the calm didn't last long as the stupid twins came back to repeat the same stupidity while Gyokuran again made me admire her by throwing those great lines at the twins xD Woah, woah. It seems that the grudge between Nidaime and Benten is really a serious matter. Benten is a strong and powerful human-tengu, but seeing Nidaime defeat her so easily proves that not only is Nidaime far superior to Benten but also the hatred he feels for Benten runs deep. Anyway, I really like Yajirou's words in this ep, "Well, it's not lonely. My belly is warming up from everyone's merriment. Living as a frog at the bottom of a well means that your belly is always getting cold." Grandma, did you hear that? Yajirou finally felt the warmth within him. Let's hope that he can return to his human and tanuki form soon :') |

| She definitely deserved that I mean he has every right to show up when she straight up stole from him |
