| So now Setsuna seems to understand how her power works, and she indeed cut a lot to practice lol Even though there wasn't much progress to the story, I liked how they used those last two episodes to develop her and now I'm curious to know what was that at the end... She felt her connection to Rin? Sesshoumaru? Maybe Kirinmaru was about to make another appearance? It could even be Akuru again... Damn it might be literally anyone. Next two episodes will focus on Moroha and the connection of the raccoons to Inuyasha. And I was about to mention how they are trying to be less dependent on the OG cast in this season. Seems to be split in two episodes to give time for the nostalgia flashbacks and mix it with the present. Maybe this time they will tell us what happened to Shippou. Wouldn't find it weird if he is somehow sealed. I mean, they did the same with Inuyasha (even though for him, we have the excuse of his weapon being overpowered). Considering Ep 10 and 11 will be about Moroha, does that mean this show will be 2-cour again? I mean, we don't even know what Zero is plotting and last week I mentioned that we barely know anything about Kirin Osamu other than he is part of Kirinmaru. Can't see they finishing this story in two more episodes (if it happens to have 13). Can totally see them ending in EP12 after Moroha's mini-arc with a big cliffhanger (just like S1). So either it will have 24 episodes, or a third season might come next year. Honestly, I would rather have the latter, since more time to develop may result in higher quality. I mean, this season is already better than the first. If they manage to step up for a potential third one, it might reach the level of OG Inuyasha. The overall quality is getting better in those last few episodes after all (just my opinion). |
Dukino said: It will definitely be 24 episodes again, the time slot this airs in, same one as MHA, requires the shows be two cour. I see, hope that doesn't mean quality drop as the season follows. Second Season is definitely better than the first and that would be a shame. Said that, first season got better in its final episodes, so I would be pretty happy if instead of a drop, they actually improve to have a nice finale (unless they are planning to make it even longer, which I don't think they are). |
| Looks like we are getting some OG cast love mini arc from next week. (well except for Shippou lol) Not a bad episode, I wonder what Setsuna sensed at the end. |
| Riku and Rion now really suffered, but thanks to Towa, they regained life anew. As for Takechiyo, Moroha's lazy bum just wouldn't move. This is pretty much a Setsuna-focused episode where she learns to master the Yukari no Tachikiri naginata, and also about the visitor Mayonaka who's a threat with his Flame Bulls. A former deity whose provision had blessed the Gokoku village in times of harm as Mahiruma, got betrayed then laid waste to the people of the land. Mahiruma's thread of fate to his Blessings of the Five Grains is akin to Setsuna's thread with the Dream Butterfly, and this episode really is one of the better ones. |
 |
| Well I will admit, this was actually a pretty decent episode, took 8 eps to get a decent one though. |
 |
| Hmm..a very Romeo and Juliet sort of story this episode, with the misunderstanding, although ended on a happier note. They didn't really elaborate on that village leader who made his daughter into the "yorishiro", which is really F-up on so many levels...Unless she died, and was made into it later on, although still messed up to use your own daughter like a thing to fuel your greed. It's like if children with senior parents that passed away but lying on government documents and claiming they're still alive to claim their pension checks, which is not only morally wrong, but a crime of fraud in of itself. At any rate, aside from the village falling into ruin, I still hope he gets what he deserves and goes to hell. I feel like they also spent a lot more time (and budget) on the animation where Setsuna was severing the thread with her red colored naginata. It looked really nice, and I quite liked the scene. I imagine they're going to recycle it for future episodes to save on cost, much like how they did for particular action shots in this series as well as Inuyasha...or at least that's what I'd do if I were running the show. I'm also quite enjoying the other costumes they're having Setsuna wear in this show aside from her usual everyday demon slayer outfit, looking really pretty in various elaborate kimono or that modern blue dress from first season. |

| Mahiruma reunited with oharu, loved their story and how everything turned out to be. This show is getting better after each episode. Next episode features the original inuyasha team. cant wait to see them again in action. |
| Human greed is bad....dumb townsfolk. |
 |
| I've been really disappointed in this series with its complete lack of focus, but this episode finally just settled down to tell a good story to help develop Setsuna with her naginata - and it really felt a lot like a classic Inuyasha episode, like Inuyasha learning the Red Tessaiga. Maybe it's the long streak of disappointment and tuning out but this might just be my favourite episode of Yashahime at this point (lack of Towa has me leaning yes). Only hope Moroha can get a nice focused episode like this some time! |
 |
| Oharu is pretty enough for a deity to get depressed over. |
| Wish sengoku lovers would die less but that is part of the trope I suppose. |
 |
| The fractured storylines continue... But I'm glad this episode almost exclusively focused on Setsuna. She needs more development. Of all the Yashahimes, I like her the best. Now that I think about it, if Setsuna is more like her father Sesshomaru then Towa is more like her mother Rin. |
| The backstories in this show are always severely lacking. Why did she not meet up with him? Was she just late? And he as a deity did not have the time to wait for her? Makes no sense. |
| Good episode. Setuna makes progress with mastering the ability to cut the threads of fate, which she will need to save her mother, Rin. I liked the romantic yet tragic kind of backstory here. Well executed. I wonder what Setsuna is about to encounter at the end there? Has to be something more important than a strong enemy. |
