Oh shit, the reveal! Natsume was also unusually cute imo this episode :3 Not bad. Bakatora though...

I find the episode to be cute with the fireworks and atmosphere in the first half. Suzuka was awesome though. Dat cliffhanger!

Natsume was really cute this episode.Now Harutora finally knows who was Hokuto.Hime is really angry.WTF with Mutobe?i didn't know he was that strong.That shikigami mark was actually the curse placed on Harutora.I love that Karsuba scene.

Natsume ;____;

Such beautiful episode. My favorite one! I'm glad one-arm oni and Suzu's scene was included in the anime.

Volume 8 was adapted really good than I actually thought.

This episode was actually a good tribute to Natsume's Hokuto self too.

Definitely Natsume was cute throughout this episode.

Wow so Hokuto's action were directly controlled by Natsume, I thought she controlled her using some mind tricks..

I wonder how much pain Natsume felt when Hokuto died considering what anime shows in episode 12 when they were controlling simple shikigami in that special training camp episode...(The part where Natsume messes up while she was cooking)
She died a second time :'(


Dat Laser Beam from that mark though. It's official to call Harutora, Yakoutora now. CG was ok but still not good for my taste.

Kumomaru was so BA but I'm starting to hate him and Takiko, She is the main reason why Natsume had to die. I kinda blame Yasuzumi too for hiding his son and using Natsume like she is a nobody. :(

Yatagarasu part was sooo cool and Harutora's 'curse/seal' getting removed by Natsume was so touching. Dat bloody kiss..

Poor Natsume..

Expecting great fights now, 8bit don't mess up Volume 9...

Edit: Loving that insert song.

uhmmm…well, it was revealed that Harutora is the real Yakou’s reincarnation and that It was revealed that Yasuzumi Tsuchimikado switch Harutora and Natsume after their birth in order to protect Harutora from the Yakou devotees .Because they didn't know that Harutora has a cursed, Karasuba and the curse have an opposite reaction to Harutora's body, making him gone to berserk. The star seal was remove in order to remove the curse and accidentally killed Natsume in the process .................... Q^Q

Waaaaaaaaaahh!! Noooooooo!! Supposedly, I already prepared myself for this, but I still end up crying because of that insert song by Lisa Komine….. T^T

Wheat soda, a.k.a bitter soda. Never liked those thing

Harutora looks good in the raven wing.
What happened if Yakou is awakened actually ? Just a power up or Harutora will be gone ?

Their personalities and memories merge. Tora is highly erratic especially going into volume 9. At one point he is apathetic, cold and calculating and turns into the usual bakatora in another. It implies that the change is gradual. Do note that his awakening here is not yet complete.

Plenty much what we saw was a confirmation Harutora is Yakou. He's still Harutora and we are yet to see his Yakous self.

I just want Takiko, Kumomaru, Yashamaru and Genji to die, and one more Divine General(not giving spoiler)...
Rest Divine generals are just blindly following orders so they are not exactly evil. If these 5 die I'll be satisfied.

Good luck w/ that. If that happens there wouldn't be a need for further volumes lol. But since they do induce these kinds of reactions I think they're doing their roles as "villains" admirably. I use the term "villain" loosely.

Yeah probably not a possibility but since the anime portrayed them good enough as "villains", not to mention the supporting cast is quite big so I'm hoping to expect more villains to pop out lol.

Finally subs are out! The episode was good. Wasn't expecting Harutoa to get some crow armour. I thought that Harutora would kill Natsume himself not her jump into the line of fire. Now Harutora, go forth and get your revenge.

Anybody know what that song was at the beginning? When Natsume was thinking about the past.

No OP, insert songs everywhere. Oh boy here it comes.

While I knew about the Yakou thing, wasn't expecting the sacrifice and the music only got me more emotional.

Harutora seems about to enter Gary Stu beast mode, and with BD sales flopping so hard, consider me all in for a cliché anime original happy ending.
Having you dream girl dying twice in your arms is just too much.

She is not Hare from guilty crowns lol


Did anyone else notice at the beginning when she if fixing her hair, and then harutora calls her and she turns to look at the window, her image in the mirror moved more than the bigger one? Please tell me someone else notice.

Everything about Takiko irks me. Her obsession with Yakou is retarded and she herself is obnoxious to no end. I pray that by the end of this she will be dead, but she probably wont be.

Meh, it was obvious with the sudden change in musical direction that something "deep" was supposed to happen after the nice calm chill music. When Natsume died I didn't even feel bad, and I take character deaths really badly most the time.. I mean obviously Natsume isn't going to stay dead, but I honestly wish she would. It would add some real depth to this anime. I'm sure if shes actually dead right now or what, but he'll perform the ritual on her and she'll be back. I do feel like this episode was much better than the shows been for a while though.

Revive the dead always considering as a taboo in many culture since it completely negate the circle of life but one would expect the world with shamanistic activity to be able to revive the dead , Buddhist and Christianity share a same believe about life -> every living beings possess soul and body , in Natsume's case her body is wrecked but I would expect harutora to fixed her up then bind her soul to the body and revive her ... if only that could be done in real world.

Wait a minute...the Taizan Fukun ritual revives a person in place of the person who conducts the ritual...does that mean either Harutora or Natsume is going to die in the end?

Was expecting them to get cocked blocked, and they did.

Completely ew'd at Harutora getting some CGI'd armor. Would look nice if it wasn't. Reminds me of Beelzebumon from Digimon.

Oh fuck that ending. She ded. Now someone replace Natsume audio saying "I love you" with Onodera from Nisekoi and we'll finally get somewhere in that show.
