| Kugaha gets taken out by Yukine. Really dislike him so I'm glad that happened. Bishamon going to the underworld to save Yato was nice, her tell Yato how hating him allowed her to move forward was cool. |
| And people wonder why I have such a lady boner for Bishamon. |

| Not much happened this week. Budget saving episode for next week perhaps. Manga purists are the changes really that bad? |
| A lot of bondage this episode. Izanami has an odd concept of friendship. Bishamon went full saber. That makes me only wonder why she didn't use Aiha sooner?! If she had such a badass armor, she could have used her earlier... Poor Yato, I feel like he's being manipulated by Nora again :/ And her, she's being manipulated by Father. So in the end, Father is probably a massive asshole. |

| Great episode as always. Strange appearance from Kugaha though. Wonder what Hiyori can do to help |
 |
| Bishamon with Saber armor..... I r8 8/8 |
 Lies are full of endless possibilies. |
| Didn't care for the changes. Didn't care for the poor animation. |
| oh that bastard is back and Bishamon is amazing |
 |
| Well, I do believe manga readers have a right to be pissed at what Bones has done. This episode was supposed to be BEAST, full of tears, shocking revelations and lots of plot advancement. Not only for the Ebisu arc, but for the story of Noragami overall. I guess it was still a good and enjoyable episode if you haven't read the manga. Otherwise, it's a big disappointment. They did not include one VERY IMPORTANT thing that was supposed to happen this episode. Sure, they could still add it next week but they will have to make some rearrangements and I doubt that it'll be so emotional. The main problem, though, is that some of the changes they made weren't even because they didn't have enough time, but because they want an anime original ending. Basically, adapting two chapters per episode like they have been doing with the first half of the season, they could have adapted this arc perfectly, ending the season with Chapter 39 (aftermath/conclusion of Ebisu arc). Instead of that, they started rushing things and picking only a few events from certain chapters and changing the order. For example: Yukine going to Bishamon and saying "I want to sacrifice my name for my master" wasn't in the manga and it was quite redundant and stupid since he already did that in the previous arc. Instead of that and some other invented details, they could have done Yato and Nora's conversation right. Nora did not say that she was calm because she was with Yato, but because she knew that Father would come to save them. Not only that, but they actually talked about their past and Father. This was SO important. And now it looks like Hiiro is the nicest person when she's actually not. That wasn't changed due to not having enough time, but because of something else. A third season is still possible, but it won't be as good because a lot of foreshadowing and acts that would lead to future events have been lost. There was a point to Kugaha being there. And Ebisu wasn't supposed to know how to get Yato out of there and how you need a human to do that. If he knew that, why didn't he plan accordingly?! It was supposed to be a mysterious little female God... and manga readers speculate that this God was actually... *drum roll* Amaterasu. So yeah, big thing to be omitted when considering the future of the series... |

| 5/5 |
| Great episode once again. This anime likes cliffhangers. |
| Great episode with some great action. Pretty intense and exciting overall. Nice to see Bishamon in action~ |
| Damn, Bishamon with that armor looks like Saber from Fate Night. |
| Yato go get your happy ending |
 |
| Pretty cool episode. Heavy armour-clad Bishamon is noice. |
 |
| That hair is so f*cking creepy. Get rkt Kugaha! And Yukine's jealousy... so cute. |
| Bishamon is a badass |
| Hi there |
| So... Basically.. Nothing happened, right? - Yato is still stuck in the underworld - Hiyori and Yukine are still in the real word - Ebisu escaped in the previous episode... You can skip this episode without giving up much of the plot. |
 |
| Bisha came to the rescue! I wonder how heaven is going to punish Ebisu? If they do... Ebisu said there is a way bring Yato back does he mean a revival even though Yato does not have a name? ~Great episode!!! |
 |
SchwingBoner said: Bishamon looks badass in that armor. It's great that she finally admitted she was wrong for blaming Yato.  Ugh, Kugaha's back again. Someone should permanently get rid of him already.  Bishamon in that armor looks like Saber from Fate/stay night |
| Are the changes really worth moaning about? -_- |

danieltortoisee said: Doesn't really feel like much happened, given that we're still in more or less the same position where we started the episode at. Also, kinda surprised Kugaha appeared again so soon and that it was so anticlimactic and pretty much pointless. I felt the same, actually. I was looking forward to a lot happening in this episode since the last few episodes had been pretty fast paced. Oh well. It was enjoyable, but I couldn't help but feel slightly disappointed by the sudden slow pace. Also Kuguha was quite annoying. Bishamon bashing Izunami's head around was hilarious though. Gotta love Bisha~ |
 |
| Bishamon is just like Saber with that outfit...But sexier and better... |
 |
| I can't believe that a certain character came back early on in this episode. Luckily, this character ended up being dealt with, so hopefully they won't suddenly pop up yet again within the last couple of episodes. Yato gets an unexpected rescuer to try to get him out of the underworld, but I think it really had to be this person who did it. Considering the history this character has with Yato, I think this act will ultimately help lay a foundation for healing. The story has become more intense, and it's become clear we're almost at the end of the series. I can't wait to see how this story arc concludes. |
| god, Bishamon is 100% waifu material. Strong women like this are my weak point. |
| This time is Yato who needs to be saved and Bishamon is committed to this (she really seemed Saber in this episode), I liked the action and battles in this episode and also I was more curious about the relationship between Yato and Hiiro, I'm looking forward to seeing final development of the anime .. |
  |
| These episodes feel too dam short ;_; Love how Bishamon just beat the crap out of Izanami xD I assume the tables will turn next episode though. |
 |
| Will they need human sacrifice?? |
| ---------My Profile------------ |
| I can guess what other way Ebisu is talking about :P |
 |
| This episode was great! Too bad this season is almost over. This show is my crack! xD |
 |
| Ebisu is badass even when down, topkek. |
   I envy your delusion; I wish I could live in it  |
| I do hope there's a good explanation next episode to why Hiyori can help get Yato out because it kinda felt out of nowhere and a bit too convenient, says Ebisu. |
| I loved the episode! I did expect a cliff hanger again... I always wanted to see Bisha to Yato's rescue~ sadly I dont see many BishaXYato shippers.. and to be honest... deep inside my heart I was kinda wishing Yukine would become one of the gods present there's nora. If its them they would surely release him after reaching the underworld but oh well I dont want our beloved blessed shinki to sully his name either. Though I wish he would keep trusting Yato... having him getting reminded again and again that he is Yato's one and only is kinda starting to annoy me |

| Kugaha causing trouble because Bishamon didn't eliminate him and just exiled him. Still, she redeemed herself greatly by going into the underworld to retrieve Yato. She was so fucking badass in this episode. I'm loving her again. I hope she finds Kugaha and beats the fuck outta him. |
| 臭い- |
dinesj21 said: And people wonder why I have such a lady boner for Bishamon. Yeah. She was a total badass in this episode. Not only that, wonderful character growth - everything she was saying to Yato during her fight with Izanami, I mean. I was impressed. |
| Uuh... The voice acting was terrible this week, I felt sorry for the voice actors I really haven't been enjoying this so far TBH |
 Nico- said: Conversations with people pinging/quoting me to argue about some old post I wrote years ago will not be entertained@Comic_Sans oh no y arnt ppl dieing i need more ppl dieing rly gud plot avansement jus liek tokyo ghoul if erbudy dies amirite |
| Bishamon is stupid. |
 |
| Eh, Yato angst is a bit... boring. Why does he keep forgetting that he has Yukine and Hiyori and they freaking care about him? Isn't hearing it once enough? Anyways, its Hiyori's turn to shine. Hopefully it's done well. And oh, a certain white-haired bastard is dead and dat's great. |

TragicRomance said: Eh, Yato angst is a bit... boring. Why does he keep forgetting that he has Yukine and Hiyori and they freaking care about him? Isn't hearing it once enough? It's not that he doesn't believe that they care about him, it's that he didn't think they'd find him/come for him. He even thought Hiyori had forgotten about him (which she did). Anyway, Yato has trouble believing he's actually loved. Not only because he's always struggling to stay in people's memories. You will see why. |

| didnt expect kugha 2 be there 2 |
| Noragami's soundtrack is always on point. Nora is kawaii af |

| Can't believe Bishamon admitted all that to Yato. Some great character development and badassness with her whip and armor....and chest butting Izami and headslamming her was pretty crazy, it showed her determination. I also liked her pep talk. At this point I really don't know what to think of Ebisu....he seems like he's not evil....perhaps he's just the fall guy. But whatever he's suggesting to get Yato out sounds like a bad idea already. Getting to see Koufuku was really nice <3 I had forgotten that was her power. =X The black fan was sexiness. =P |
| so hiyori is needed instead to save yato. bishamonten in saber's outfit is so badass. nora being calm and all caring towards yato is meh. just die already. 2 more episodes. *sniff after this i might wanna watch season 1. |
| Bishamon was amazing this episode. Some scenes looked a little funky but the show did its job. The ost was pretty good too and I think the skeleton women lookes way creepier in anime form,lol... 2 more to goo! |
