Heh, I think I might of underestimated Hideyoshi in this show. I think he was more than just cool in this episode.

Looks like they might of underestimated their opponents and a little.
Oh well, we still got Nobunaga on the battle field and I think that means trouble for anyone not on their side. Fear the power of wind!

Great episode :D

Loved how Nobu entrusted Hideyoshi with the Wind Shinki. Glad he finally got a Mecha now ^^

The Goku transformation was nice ^^

OST is just too good :D

It was a good episode.

Nobunaga gave Hideyoshi the Wind Shinki. Hideyoshi got his own mecha now.

Nobunaga strengthening, and the long hair guy doesn't do anything even after alliance. Getting into enemy's place to get one for KajiKaji's character. His sister died from hunger because Oda family took away their food for war. He also has interest in conquering the world. Nobunaga also knows what he's thinking about, and gave that wind shinki.

The title for next ep. "Death"... someone's dying?

they literally wrote Hideyoshi's character background here around the meaning of the Temperance card.. i don't know if it's shoehorning or not since there are no indications from the previous episodes nor the historical Hideyoshi.. is it because Temperance is also a card that shows the mastery of the elements and thus foreshadow Hideyoshi's becoming a successor of Nobunaga if he dies?

and i like the way they went with Hideyoshi -> Saru/Monkey -> Goku out of nowhere..

also, guys, the Death card doesn't always mean physical death, because it's more of loss, end, or transition.. i mean, it's not like it's The Tower (which already happened) or Judgement.. but meh.. they could go with physical death too but i'm gonna be more delighted with the actual meaning of the Death tarot..

All of you guys beat me to it. I was going to drop some knowledge myself. On a different note, all of the people that dropped this show need to get their asses back here and watch the rest of this series because it's really picking up now, and has been for the past 5 or episodes.
Matsuoka Yoshitsugu has hardly any range as a voice actor, and is grossly over-cast.

Yeah. I said it.

It's because has so many flaws, yet still really satisfying to watch it. Though this show isn't getting nearly the attention that Valvrave had.

Looks like Monkey could be a potential enemy in the future.

Nice moves from the nobunaga side. I wonder how much they will follow the true stories of Toyotomi Hideyoshi and Oda Nobunaga in this anime? And when will Ieyasu Tokugawa appear if at all?

10 bucks says the reason this show is getting such a low rating is because most have not gone beyond episode 5 of this anime.

This show is easily my anime of the season.

The use of warfare 101 and the insanely good character development is so rare in anime.

This episode alone. So much insight to what Kenshin is like. The show also shows and proves how determined each character are. Hideyoshi is proved to be more than just a carefree joker. His ambition is just as great as anyone elses!

The fact that Eren Jaegar is the voice of Hideyoshi makes it that bit better, glad he got his own episode, at least this anime is making good use of those characters who don't get as much screen time in comparison to other animes.

I love how this anime follows history in its own way. Hideyoshi is the man :)

So many people don't know the Monkey King reference in this anime??? Didn't Hideyoshi's weapon, Kinto'un (eastern legend!), and his nickname Monkey give you a clue?!?

Seriously read up on Nobunaga during the Sengoku period, it's an epic story and will make a lot of sense for this anime.

Not getting much attention because the Otaku's don't like anything to do with real life history, even if you throw in mecha's.

The major plot points of this anime are predictable, but how those points happen feels really fresh. It's nice to see a comic relief character show his serious side without getting all emotional. It was cool that Nobu actually gave him power, rather than just words of encouragement.

Hideyoshi wants to kill my Nobunaga if he shows any weakness? He can just forget about that ever happening. Hideyoshi can never come close to my Nobunaga, so he can just go die in a ditch!

I'm glad I didn't drop this, I really did..

Actually I felt sorry for those who dropped this and gave the low rating too early..

Back to the episode, Saru you rocks!! My favourite seiyuu is Yuuki Kaji, and this is one of the reason I like him..
I cannot bring myself to rate anime that I have completed below 5. Well, it just because I have use up my precious time to watch it. so, the worse you will get from me is 5 (changes may apply)

Yeah this was a really good episode.

This is when this show really starts getting good.

I agree w everyone who says that if you stick w this show you are greatly rewarded, even though I never wanted to drop it.

I loved the world and characters they built for this show from episode 1. Right when I saw King authur and the Knights of the Round threw in there I knew this was gonna be special.

Its fucking great.

This episode was awesome too, great electronic music soundtrack playing during Saru vs Brutus.


Who else predicts Caesar gonna get a knife in the back by brutus towards the end?
