| To me, this was one of Hyouma's greatest moments in the show. Not because of his strength but because of his feelings reaching Botan in such a time of despair. He fought against the odds like a champ. Such an intense episode imo. Hyouma's allies came through too in that fight like champs although this conflict still is far from over. Tsumabiki looks like she's ready to tear some shit apart. |

| Beast form botan really is on another level. The enemy sure miscalculated on a massive level though. If the vessel ages and matures then it stands to reason that the god inside it would to. Gotta respect the determination of Yu and the others in trying to break out and be there for Botan though. That scene was such a powerful one with amazing OST. The entry of the mastermind behind this plot though sure was one hell of a twist. Looks like we're going to have one hell of a fight next week as Haori and co go up against the Bureau at their full strength. Looking forward to seeing to it. |

| In 1 episode Warazamawashi gone from mastermind villains to some idiots. Not counting that a god could just decide to kill them, realizing Hyoma defeat was key to make the marebito take over and not kill him outright, and lastly the great idea that was to bring the enemies you just imprisoned so close to the place where the target your is anyways. The guy is so strong that he have a shadow on his face even without an umbrella. |

| “Hyoma you’re a real man” Chills man. Whole episode was just immaculate. Lmaooo so the Traditional Music Bureau decide to betray everyone and work for the bad guys to serve an evil god. Then act surprised when evil god does evil god shit. Like yea maybe there’s a reason she’s sealed 😂 Tsuzumi pack in the air. Botan’s awakened form is really fire. I love that design. Kinda reminds me of Ragyō from KLK. Guess the key to keeping the living god under control is love after all. One sentence from Hyoma is all it took for Botan to fight back and regain control. Really sweet moment between the two of them. Hyoma lived up to his promise and kept her safe. The Bridal Trousseau breaking out of that prison seal gave me flashbacks to TTGL’s dream sequence. Chills. Good to have them back in the fight. The traditional bureau still haven’t learnt their lesson apparently so they’ll have to die IG 🤷🏾♂️ Damn, using Hyoma’s brother’s appearance is a real low blow. That’s going to be tough for him to overcome. It also seemed like that Tsukumonogami was able to raise his head before the living god’s control over Botan weakened so I wonder if he’s got some ability to defy the god somehow? Wish the final 8 mins would’ve had more happening. Felt like a traditional battle shonen where what should’ve been a 2-3 minute scene is stretched out longer for dramatic effect |

| Another almost gonna fight episode but end up just talking. |
 |
| This episode was fire, I already knew what was going to happen since I know the raws, but it hit differently as the whole anime package. |
| Hyoma and Botan moment was sweet, she came back thanks to him and Kushige sealed it. The bridal trousseau are finally back. Was hyped for the fight but seems like the umbrellas aren't even gonna fight and leave it to music bureau. Nice episode but I wish the pacing was better and they didn't waste so much time on talking. |
 |
| Holy shit, I knew it was going to kick off, but that was peak content kicking off! |
 To have you, Id give a billion lives A-Chan best girl |
| botan got the sharingan and everything damnn top 5 transformations of all time. kay jokes aside, anyone know the ost around the 14min mark? that scene was pretty good. |
 |
| How long has that poster for this show been up? I swear it wasn't the same one before. It shows Botan's "new form" quite clearly, wouldn't that count as a spoiler? Regardless, it has been such a step up from the first season. Very enjoyable and has some of the best pacing of this airing season. |
| Nice, they all got back up and ready to fight again. The situation becomes a little less hopeless. The power hug worked again..Botan came back earlier than I expected. That tsukumogami though, is that really his brother? |
 |
| Another great episode from this anime. It appears that while the marebito has its own thoughts Botan can still overcome it to take control of the body, but not before it got rid of one of the Bureau's members, the big guy that was missing its arm. While the Umbrella group has its own ideas on what it wants the marebito to do it clearly does have its own individuality and thought process so they do not have control over it as they thought. On that note it seems their plan failed but it looks like they will still fight and aim to kill Hyoma. Botan's tsukumogami group returned after breaking out of that prison and will fight the Bureau and probably the umbrella group. But what's up with the Umbrella guy that looks like Hyoma's brother? Curious to find out what that's all about. |
| OH my god was that splendiferous to watch. (Screw you spell check, it is a word, albeit an informal one). Anyways, I'm hyped for what comes next, dude how come his brother is one of the tsukumogami?!? |
 |
| damn my god !!! this episode is BANGER !!! marebito is really cool thing !! |
| Can someone tell which chapter in the manga ? I can't wait for next week. I want to read it now |
| WHAT 0_O This episode was awesome! First off, I love how all the Tsukonogami immediately bowed down all looking in the same direction, like they knew she was in that direction, even if they couldn't see her. Idk I just thought that was so cool. And then the music when the living God came out. It was perfect, so fitting for a god. That was pretty awesome to watch. After that the Nagatsukis broke out of the barrier, it looks like Kushige is alive, and we finally see the blue umbrella's face, and they're revealed to be Hyoma's brother, who died years ago. I'm guessing it's not actually him though right? The blue umbrella must have just changed their appearance to look like him or something like that. Idk, but man I am excited to see the next episode! Also really glad to have finally caught up! :D |

| More more more! give it MORE!!! |
| The living god expunged out of Botan, and all spirits and tsukumogami bow down to her, and her words are absolute. But if the enemy are thinking that they can use Botan for their ideals, they miscalculated their error and it became an individual entity all on its own. To that effect, Hyoma still persists the living god to be rid of her spirit in Botan, and he makes a statement to the Nagatsuki Bridal Trousseau, locking her marebito back and enabling them the way out, feeling the pain that she's went through and giving just one more push. The main target is Hyoma, but for the leader of the Warazamawashi, Tenjitsu, he ended up being the enemy that Hyoma wasn't expecting to find: his very own big brother. Together with the Bureau, the real fight begins here. |
 |
| This season has been getting progressively worse. At this point, it's practically just a bunch of posturing idiots spending more time talking about fighting than they actually fight, and there's no meaningful narrative development either. Assuming one of these tsukumogami just took on Kyouma's brother's form, meaning it could be umbrella tsukumogami that killed him the using his appearance from memory to throw Kyouma off. |

| Dragging the reveal that he looks like his brother doesn't make sense unless he is actually his real brother. They failed their villain course because you never underestimate the power of love, but taking account that they assumed it should be easy to use Botan because when they first met her she was a child, it made them look more funny than menacing. Botan x Hyouma moment as always is the best thing from this show. |
| The bad guys really are lucky that Hyoma was there, or they would have been disintegrated like that one guy |
