Ok, not what I was expecting in many ways XD
Don't tell me the're not going to show any of the fight with Sabi?!?!
I guess shes not the cute little sister.I did thought shes was pretty smart last time but this is quite disturbing.

I still don't know how to feel about the fact the main characters fight was completely glossed over, but damn nanami is scary. Although the brother also doesn't display emotion when killing either, so I guess they're even in that regard. Despite how they handled what promised to be an "epic" battle, I still left the episode feeling entertained.

They really added some depth/humanity to the insect squad that made me a little sad when they died, which was a nice touch imo. THe world isn't black and white, and it's always nice when the shades of grey shine through.

Damn didn't though she would be that strong O_O her body won't even let her be at piece! And how fast she learns damn impressive! Though sad we didn't see much of the actual battle for the 4th sword it was still quite impressive to see that side of the story!

Nanami is really scary huh... and here I was thinking that she was just a weak girl ^^'

And huh what happened to the fight between Shichika and Sabi? I thought we would see that considering the previous preview... ahh well...

And Togame isn't even embarrassed being completely naked in front of Shichika but she thinks a piggyback is?

Togame should have chosen Nanami as her 'blade' - that would have been awesome!

Such a contrast - the cute+clumsy and the cold sadist.

No fight of Shichika shown this time, but man.. Nanami is scary xD mastering everything after the 2nd time is quite amazing.. and there another 3 maniwani ninjas fall. Well, this time they had the probably world's strongest opponent xD

I understand that Shichika has no interest in the female body and so, but does Togame not feel emberassed to show herself naked even when he doesn't really understand it?
Well, not that it matters ^^ and the collarbone as her weak point, interesting. :P

Holy Shit! I expected Nanami, as member of the Kyotouryou family, to have some power as well but i never expected it to be this overwhelming. And that sadistic personality.. DAMN.

You heard that Shichika?? DO NOT return! Or rather do return so we can enjoy her disciplining you lmao.
The episodes have been getting better and better and such this was the best so far, lets see if the next surpasses this one. Too bad we didn't see the fight between Shichika and Sabi though. 5/5

Well, that was pretty fucking disturbing.
I expected her to be powerful after all the foreshadowing, but this was kind of ridiculous :/ I'm also not very happy how she seems like a creey and cold woman. I mean the guys deserved it (even with the attempt to make them seem more human, which actually kind of made their story sad), but that was a bit too much :/
And now she will join the others or what? I kind of don't want that after all this.

Fuck the creators for not showing the battle I was most looking forward to...

Weak collarbones, huh? That scene was just so cute :)

LAWL This episode THIS EPISODE. W-we didn't even get to see Sabi's fight...
All that foreshadowing earlier went down the drain.

Katanagatari went there and pulled this on us and i'm not sure if I can tell if this is a brilliant move or not.
I just lol'd how they are all talking about the battle at the end, it was like they were picking at our wounds.
this show: 1 point
parfaited: 0 points


The sister though, wow. Ruthless.
I mean I could tell there was something about her but I never pictured her being this extreme.

and btw both of them were so cute as kids especially Shichika :)

Nanami is just scary. Also why did they leave out the fight with the cool white-haired swordsman? With all the screen time he got before it was his arc, I thought his arc was actually going to interesting and tough for Shichika.

Dare I say it? Dare I say it? Yes, I will. GODDAMN, that was AWESOME. I've never enjoyed being trolled like this ever. I love them for that. Also, Namami @A@. I can honestly say she scared the living shit out of me in a way nothing I've seen till now has done. This combination of fear and intrigue really bumped this show for me. Props to Mai Nakahara for voicing Nanami. Nisioisin, you're a master trollwriter for doing this.

I still got some nice character development and back story on the sister so I'm not even that mad. Troll of a show to taunt us like that at the end, when they were bragging how awesome Sabi's moves were.

Huh huh huh. This was the trollest episode I've ever seen! All the episode I was waiting for a crazy fight between, but nope, at the end, they just describre it. I feel like I should be mad, but it was such a good troll.

About the episode, it was to say the least... surprising. I never would have though that Shichika sister would be a cute sadistic little monster. Seriously, the way she was talking so calmly while killing them was freak. But the Manimiwa (or something like this) really suck. I mean seriously, they all fail so hard.

I wonder what role Nanami will play in the future. They did not show us her sadistic side for no reason. She will surely cause trouble later. After all, she just learned how to handle katana...

Wow I haven't enjoyed being trolled this hard since School Rumble. Best episode in the series so far for sure, though I admit I might be speaking as a gigantic fanboy of Nanami since episode 1.

Genuinely felt the fear the insect group experienced when they were getting massacred by her. Amazing.

I can't believe they did that. Took out the most anticipated fight. I am not amused. =___=

But people seem to be taking it in stride, and even tipping their hats to the successful trolling, if the length of this thread is any indication.

Nanami is one of those small cute girls with a deadpan voice and inexplicable strength never seen that one before one can only hope there's some insight as to that.

The art of the sceneries is as gorgeous as ever - I keep getting distracted by starting at it.

Dammit, I actually liked the Maniwa insect squad this time. Too bad they got wiped out. Looks like Maniwawa (or whatever they called them) are actually the laughing stock of the series, I'm expected more of them to die. Or maybe the series will trick us again, and I'll be able to see a strong Maninaniwa corps member.
Nanami creeps me out, she's too OP. She seriously needs a nerf. I was hoping to see an old-fashioned swordsman fight against Shichika, but this episode was a good, if not better, alternative.

Who knew that such a cute face could be hiding a veritable sadist; then again, it's the gap that makes it so thrilling to watch.

I was getting a little bored of repetitive nature of the last 3 episodes, but this one really set the bar high. It's kind of funny how the lead characters haven't been as interesting as Nanami turned out to be this episode.
