At least the show seems to be picking up the pace a little. It's still a pretty bad season for me though. I don't think there's anything that could save it.

3/5; quite a lousy episode, very slow pace, qiite predictable.
What's right with it:
- It seems this overpowered villian can create chemira's
- We see some of the side characters
- Hakafu appears

What's wrong with this episode:
- Revolving heavily around Gentoku, who's arguabley, the least intriguing character
- Gentoku has anotherone of her predictable 'uncontrolled outbursts'
- A new character is introduced; a giant man who in his 3rd year
- One of the skimpy dressed sisters has turned good
- The little green haired girl gets fanservice

Actually unlike most you I consider this episode as one of the best of the season and the one that has the most ikkitousen feeling about it.

Kan'u is a very strong fighter, the strongest if we do not take the dragon user into account. I'm not surprised that she can call the spirit of the real Kan-u to get a major boost, the same way Sousou got posseded in the second season, except that Kan-u have probably more control over it.

In history Ryomou was the one who killed Kan-u and she is tired from her earlier fight and has a bad view. Ryomou is far from weak and if they are forced to fight each other I see Kan-u getting beated up.

Yes Gentoku getting freezed, one of her friend dying, an important character switch side, Hakufu come to save the day, receive a holy sword and start her assault on the villain's base, add to that the preparation of the Ryoumou vs Kan-u fight sure make this episode slow paced...

Gentoku is far from being the least intriguing character, even more since now she seem to have the will to fight and don't go crying everytime. Gentoku do not have ''uncontrolled outburst'', ever since the second season it has been said that her power would kill her, that's the reason why they wanted the dragon jade to begin with. In the end of the second season Gentoku could totaly control her power because of the dragon jade and Hakufu's power but otherwhise her power would result in hurting her and her friends. She can activate it at will but once it is activated she cannot control it... yet.

The sister did not turned ''good''. She never trusted Kentei and teaming up with Gentoku's team is probably the best way to get rid of him, especially since she saw Hakufu it look like she tough they might really pull this off. I guess that she want to free her school from Kentei and is not interested in an easy way to conquer the world, if she had to do so she would like to do it with her own strengh, that is why she didn't kill Gentoku because she wanted to fight her square.

Great ep, I thought it was great, but Shiryuu's fight was good and that girl that poped up in the nic of time, cool. Hakufu was cool for the moments she was serious its funny that she's given a sword, can she use it? *Next ep*

Oh ya looks like Bachou and Chuukou stumbled on what ever's growing under Kentei's ... Will it kill them or will they ruin dum.a.'s plans.

First paragraph; Is that sarcasm or not?
Matter of opinion; I though that what they all had to say wasn't too interesting and most of the stuff that happened began in the previous episode.

Second paragraph; I stated that Gentoku is 'arguably' the least intreguing character, if you dissagree, good for you.
On top of this, I stated that Gentoku has an 'uncontrolled outburst', this is a fact. You seem to be looking to the future, stating she can't control her powers 'yet', still, you state her 'outburst' was controlled?
The second season was simply a display of how Hakafu and Gentoku could work together; if Gentoku knew what she was doing, there would be little drama, yet she's not a fighter and as stated in the episode; isn't too keen on her ability, causing her body to confilct with her dragon.

The third paragraph; to be frank, the sisiter is working with the goodies, so for now, she has switched sides.

An 'uncontrolled outburst' would means that Gentoku would come into this state without her wanting it but it isn't this way.
Gentoku chose to enter this state, she call her power herself but once it manifest she cannot control it properly there is a difference between the two.

Yes the first paragraph was sarcasm.

An 'uncontrolled outburst' is indeed the same thing as not being able to controll your powers, putting your body in danger and worrying others.
The case in this episode was, Gentoku doesn't know how to use her powers, they aren't controlled.
You may see it as something different, I don't.


I don't recognise sarcarm or jokes when thrown randomly into discussions.
My posts are written in a fairly formal manner; rich in description in order for others to easily understand, the reason I do this is to spare confusion, unless others struggle with communication too.
I like a discussion, but please, avoid sarcam with the likes of me, I'll get lost.

I will try to be more clear on this:

The way I put it:
Gentoku enter into burst mode -> she lose control.

The way you put it:
Gentoku lose control of herself -> she enter in burst mode unwillingly

The difference is that in the way I say it, she chose to lose control, to take a power she cannot control to protect her friend at the cost of her life unlike you who say that she get consumed by this power and enter into burst without wanting it.
After that once she is in burst yes she has no control, there can't even be a debate about this.

I understand you better now.;)

I also agree, that the character had some drive to protect others, yet still, I see the same result.
Still, I'm open-minded in all area's of life, yet when it comes to behaviour, I'm very frank, I see the two as the same thing.

I didn't find this episode as slow as you people say. Lot's of things happened and it also ended with the promise of big fights coming up.
Quite better than the last two episodes.

Hope none of Ryomu and Kanu dies. I love those girls.

I agree with you wholly, Monad. Nothing was really slow and even if it was, the action will certainly kick up in the future.

Tbh, the only thing to redeem this show are the anime only characters at this point. But hey, at least there might be some decent fights coming up right? I can only hope.
