| Yikes, creepy vibes returned again this episode. Unfortunately, the chaos spilled and Botan got involved yet again. Feels like she's never safe anymore, or anywhere. Karakasa no Tsukumogami is back again and this turned into a deadly confrontation. Kinda crazy how Botan is like a magnet for danger this season |
 |
| So the traditional music bureau were the opps after all lmao I knew it! Fukie was so obviously sus from the start. Even when he protected Botan from the umbrella a few weeks ago, it seemed only half-assed. I kinda let it go though because it seemed like they had started to grow connected to Hyoma and Botan. But their betrayal doesn’t come as too much of a surprise. The attack on the headquarters was also very obvious. Like all the random low level Tsukumogami launching attacks throughout Kyoto at once was a clear red flag 💀 surely they should’ve had a contingency plan.. Kadomori doesn’t look too bothered so I imagine he does have something up his sleeve. The bigger surprise was that after all the time they’ve spent with Hyoma and Botan, they really thought that Hyoma would abandon her. There was never a choice, he’s going to protect her with his life. Lastly, why did they ask if the umbrella was the one who killed Kishige?? I thought he was just unconscious in a coma not dead? |

| the paper umbrellas looked pretty cool. |
 |
| A lot of Tsukumogami started their attack everywhere. They seem to be in different groups but have one goal. Time for some action to protect Botan. |
 |
| i was actually starting to like the bureau of traditional music, so it's upsetting to fond out they've been working with the paper umbrella and are behind all of this. i believe in hyoma, the bridal trousseau, and the kadomori group to take them down though. they're all highly skilled, so while it may be difficult, im sure they'll be able to win in the end. |
My 2023 candies:      |
| I wanna bet on this: All of this is probably a tricky plan to get all the umbrellas in one place and destroy them, even if they have to use Botan as a bait |

| oh my god from this episode next gonna be a lit !!! thank god i didnt drop watch this anime !! |
| Drawing away one's defences to allow ingress of forces is standard when it comes to tactics. Its nice to see Botan overcome their ingrained beliefs and get them to see her as a person. The umbrella's being a group rather than a singualar existance was a rude shock. But even more so was one of the triads colluding with the enemy as well. Still this was matched nicely with the desire of the Saenome to stand and protect Botan thanks to Botan's hard work. Things are defo getting real. |

| this anime is really boring and dry now :( |
 |
| Sweet baby little gods you pray too. The enemy has finally shown itself in full. MC is still with Botan but has he truly master his blades, especially with his paper umbrella nemesis and that old hag from the music team on the same battle field. Botan being Botan throughout the last couple eps just showing her humanity bring all the parted teams and groups to realise we are about to make history. At the very least protect the world. Shit is hitting the fan and people keep throwing shit at it!! |
 To have you, Id give a billion lives A-Chan best girl |
| Great episode and I must admit that I did not think that the Bureau of Traditional Music was in cahoots with the Umbrella group, and the old lady of that group was next to Botan! At least the old guy from the Kadomori group didn't turn her in and it looks like things are really going to heat up in the next episode, looking forward to it! |
| wow that was some twist, loved it! I always thought there was something off about the rock band guys |
| w0w! things are getting heated-up!!! i hope old man Kadomori survives this! 5/5. |
 |
| Surprised at how outstanding this show is Ma Sha Allah every episode is straight up 🔥 & has fantastic takes on characters Did not expect the beareu to be traitors specially as was just thinking how about cool that scene of the flute guy |
| "Even if it has good reviews, if I don't like it then it is shit" -Some random anime character |
| Not much of a surprise that those guys were the ones behind it but this was done well enough. Kyoto Saenome and Hyoma vs paper umbrella and music bureau begins. This is gonna be one hell of a fight. I hope Hyoma finally kicks ass. Where's Tsubaki btw? |
 |
| Another good episode. I remind you, Karakasa. Hyoma won't let you touch Botan. |
| Botan, at least for now, is appreciated from Representative Kadomori's and the Kyoto Saenome, though the amount of tsukumogami outside is worrying. Of course, Kadomori has already anticipated this with Botan being secured in his office, and the paper umbrella tsukumogamis that the Nagatsuki Bridal Trousseau met, they were accosted, with associates making a move on Botan soon. In a sense, Hyoma being by Botan's side is critical, and Representative Kadomori realized the trick too late for his associates to know that the paper umbrellas were working with the Bureau of Traditional Music to get Botan, all in an effort to relieve her out of their hands and turn her into the marebito power of evil. But all's not a lost cause, as the Kyoto Saenome are prepared to protect her, whatever it takes. As long as the paper umbrella is involved, there is no truce. |
 |
| I knew the Bureau of Traditional Music were working on something behind the scenes. Everything about them just raised so many red flags in my head, and it looks like the umbrellas might actually be working for them, and not the other way around? |
 |
| A cliffhanger in the previous episode, but the scene only continues halfway through the next episode, after being repeated for some reason. Appears redundant. |

| Botan is so cute everyone wants to protect her. To develop the cliffhanger of the previous episode in the middle of the episode to build up the tension was uneven, could have been better. |
| I thought the music guys were up to something but not this. |
