----------------------------------------
Well that escalated a bit quickly.

Looks like Kyouko has a plan though. I think Harutora needs to calm down a bit. Life just isn't fair and it's hard to get her back. I also had some doubt that if Natsume was to come back, she wouldn't be 100% Natsume as the way she was before.

Kon's so mature this episode though :3
And I really hope Touji will be able to fight that guy off.

I enjoyed this ep a lot. Was awesome.

Kon FTMFW >.<!! The way she convinced Harutora was amazing :D "If u want to do it, do it urself without relying on others" :D
She made both Kurahashi and Yashamaru "Tch" XD (^_^)b

Interesting to know that there are more than one way for the ritual.

And the end with Touji making his flashy appearance :D Even surprised Yashamaru ^^

Also nice to see Amami's fan. U're alive ossan?? :D

I wonder what Kyouko saw though? And why she was trying to prevent them from rushing in?

Pouting Suzuka was really cute <3...I wonder what Tenma is doing?

Doman and Jin make an awesome combo XD Lol'd at how Doman said he's mail buddies with him XD And Miyachi asking for Doman's number hahaha.

Jin vs Kagami now? This should be interesting.

Nice conversation with Mutobe too. It seems Harutora doesn't really have a grudge against Takiko. I wonder how he'll react to seeing her again?

I just can't friggin wait to see

Pretty good episode, setting up for an all out war.

Seems like Kyouko is learning to read the stars like Miyo, interesting. Douman and Jin text buddies lol. Good Kon, talking Harutora out of joining the enemy's side. Touji's ready to kick some ass, maybe double team with Suzuka. I suspect Jin will lose against Reiji since he's weakened. If not, I can see Suzu joining in to help Jin out.

Stupid Tenma, I seriously hope he's not ran away. Where are you Kakugyouki? Why you no help your master? Can't wait for
next episode!

Perfect episode. Ironically, things were more clearly stated here than the novel (or I'm just not good enough in jap yet.)
Kon being clear-minded. Hugs for you.

Just can't freaking wait for Harutora to show who is boss.

So in reality the Taizan Fukun Ritual isn't one spell, but a branch magic that deals soul manipulation. And what Suzuka, and Takiko used different spells and methods under that system. This also how Yakou was able reincarnate himself, it's not just a resurrection technique.

And damn at Myyachi.

Good episode. You can just tell that the ending to this season will be very epic. Showdowns everywhere, not to mention that Amami Daizan is making a return to join the fray as well. Good job, Kon! Though you're still a little useless in combat...

Doman scaring everyone in the Onmyo Agency with his split in half old body was pretty funny and scarey D: He went from a one of the biggest threats to a powerful allie. It doesn't seem like he'd be bound to stay on anyones side though.

Doman vs Iwao fight is great. We haven''t seen the full extent of Iwao's Acala's Fire Realm Mantra until this episode. Other then knowing he burned downed the Tsuchimikado clans house. Seems like it's going to only get better.

Unfortunately we didn't get to see much of Jin vs Reiji fight. Maybe next week D:

Kon definitely shined with her speech in this episode. Being able to change Bakatora's mind. At least up until she had to fight... She unfortunately just isn't strong enough to be able to keep up with the more stronger enemies.

I have been spoiled unfortunately but I don't mind.

I am pretty sure everyone was suprised to find out that the familiar belonged to Daizen who died a while back. Does that mean he's still alive? I hope so.

Not sure why Shido was suprised when he saw Toji at the end of the episode. He was able to fight both him and Harutora at the same time last episode unless he senses that toji is able to take full control of the demon within himeself which i doubt. It'd be a bit to fast if he could take full control of it now.

Can't wait till next weeks episode!

I thought Harutora bled his fingers and wrote out the hiragana out. And the spider familiar simply pointed to each letter to form a message?

I can't believe they just stood there and let Kon convince Harutora right out of their plans. Lol
Also I'm getting the feeling that Harutora is gonna get his memories/abilities back when he "believes in himself". They keep showing that quote how the heart of magic is "lies", so maybe Harutora is cursing himself by not believing in his own abilities (and lying to himself that he's not a good mage).

If they had done anything to Kon their plan would have went up in smoke too. Genji realized that so he had no choice but to allow her speak (which is why he stopped Shidou from interrupting her) and then let Harutora decide if he would take their side or take a risk doing the ritual on his own.

Erm what? Who's done more than him? Nevermind that he saved Onmyo Prep students 2 arcs ago.

And Shidou wasn't scared of Touji, just surprised. Why would he be when defeated him easily last episode?

Natsume's death took him as a great shock, he lost someone he loved so much, he can't do anything rash they have Natsume's corpse in custody so Harutora knows better not to screw anything up.

lolwut Shidou scared of Touji. Look who was getting pwned in last episode by Yashamaru? It was Touji.

I just noticed.. Kyouko is playing a big role in this arc. Her 'eyes' were directed towards Genji's office room and then only Touji could find out Harutora's location. Good job Kyouko.

I think Tenma is busy with his own dealings, he can't just sit there and relax after what he said in the previous episode.

And it really seems like Harutora has completely lost it, good thing Kon is still there to support him.

Nice to see some background regarding Yakou's 'failed ritual' or w.e, it still explains a few things better.

DAT VOICE DAT FAN, WELCOME BACK AMAMI, 2nd best old OP man after D, gotta love how the Adults in this series are so OP and they can show the younger ones how to deal with this kind of business.

Speaking of D, gotta love how he is text buddies with Ohtomo XD and even Miyachi wants to be friends with him. XDXD

Haha, Maririn calls Miyachi 'goatee' on his back. XD

Overall okay episode, I was expecting some great fights but it felt a little rushed to my liking and it focused more on Harutora and Kon's argument with a little background on Soul Manipulation system, and it was just a combo of setup + a little teaser of next episode's fights.

Oh well at least I can say that next episode is full of fights which can be continued till last episode.

Sooo, nobody else think that ressurecting the dead is wrong?
He really shouldn't revive her, because then has te obligation to revive others. And people gonna be mad, if someone can revive their loved ones and but won't do it, when he did it for himself. Dead people should stay dead.

That has nothing to do with why he wants to revive Natsume. Harutora's doing it out of sense guilt and atonement. He doesn't have any obligations to anyone else but her.

Nope. If I had the power to bring back someone dear to me, especially if I killed them myself by mistake, I sure as hell would do it. Screw everyone else, it's my life and my powers. Also, no, you couldn't just bring anyone and everyone back to life. You'd have to bind that soul to a powerful shaman that would sustain the existence.

I do think it's wrong to resurrect a dead one. When someone dies, they die. I do not approve of necromancy anyway. Even if I had the power to resurrect someone dear to me, I wouldn't.

And does that fan means the Chief is still alive?

Well, what I am thinking is that when Harutora learned that it is a shikigami, he uses his own blood to write letters. And the spider did his job and trace the letters to tell Harutora who the enemy is. Since, we clearly saw Harutora's thumb is wounded/bleeding.

Jesus actually raised the dead,once.
Why? Because he was his best friend.
