----------------------------------------
This episode was relaxing until Dakki shows up in a segment. Of course she has to use her manipulative tactics to get what she wants as usual...

Taikoubou is starting to impress me more and more in this series although I think he has yet to unlock his true potential. It's neat to see him figure out Yozen's trick though.

I can't motherfucking believe they made the biggest plot-twist of the whole manga to be sort of revealed in a recap episode...

No, really, this revolts me in so many levels I can't even begin to describe how the hell they made such a good twist looks like the most whatever thing ever.

This anime is like my weekly dose of torture of seeing one of my favorite manga getting butchered this way.

What's the twist? I wasn't paying complete attention because there was so much recap plus the episode direction went back to the awful all-over-the-place disjointed storytelling from the beginning of the series.

Did I heared VA Maaya Sakamoto??
it was a nice flashback of Taikoubou's childhood past and the old sennin who adopted him!
4/5.

Taikobou and Ou Tenkun are split from the same soul.
bla bla bla
The endless debate between fans and haters. At one point, after spending a lot of time on MAL, you just realize it's totally pointless.

Thanks. Yeah, I think I caught that. @wakka9ca is right, it was presented in a rather casual manner.

@TsundeReaper:
You aren't supposed to know it right now, also in the manga this whole Taikoubou/Ou Tenkun being split was kinda foreshadowed a little bit, here it was just thrown out of the blue so it had no impact and could have seem pretty random to the viewer, hopefully they don't throw the whose soul it is reveal without previous build up, because if they do it in a weird way (like they did in this episode) it's really, really gonna suck.
