No fancy suits involved between Higan and Zai, just a straight-up brawl.

The battle between Higan and Zai continued, but eventually, Higan emerges victorious in his duel with Zai but refrains from delivering a fatal blow. Meanwhile, Joseph, having severed his connections with Yamaji, dispatches his mercenaries to assault the ninja hideout. However, it doesn't work, and Yamaji and the rest of the ninjas pull up to AUZA city to take down Joseph once and for all. Dilly helps him out and saves him, starting a fight between her and the ninjas. Simultaneously, Mike cracks the code to decrypt the data left by Emma, while buying him time.

Decent CG aside, beginning fight was pretty ok, nothing crazy nothing great. POV shots we're great. But the actual ninja stuff itself, shit was good, I can't lie. I mean, I love Naruto, so it would only be natural. I thought this was about AUZA, not the Ninja... Or are they all the same? As much as we're made out to hate Yamaji, how the hell can we when he's taking down the only person everyone actually wants out of this show, Joseph. Yamaji was onto you the whole time, you stupid chucklefuck. Though gotta give it to him, the fight scene with him and Dilly was sick. Finally back to the good shit. A shame she's probably dead though. Anyway, back to the CG mech fights next episode.. yay....

A good "conclusion" to Zai's character, I guess...

The fight choreography and the shots in the fight at the beginning were terrific. Really liked the perspective shots, especially.

As much as I dislike Joseph, I can't help but like how he and Dilly have this thing going on. She was with him until the end.

I'm just kind of ready for this to be over at this point.

I had concerns that this fight would happen with Higan and Zai in their mech suits, and hoped that at the very least it would be a half and half. I'm glad that came true, as we saw the fight start last episode with them in the suits but in this episode, went back to that glorious 2D hand to hand combat.

Now THIS is what I'm talking about, what a great episode. Knew it would be a banger when they didn't play the OP. I never had the same hate boner for the mech suits that others had but nothing will ever top straight up hands/weapons when it comes to action. It was cool to see some POV shots of the action from both guys' perspectives, and their secret arts were dope. Definitely expected Zai to die and personally feel like he should have, but I'm predicting he'll switch up on the organization and help Higan at the last second, and that's when he'll die.

Wasn't expecting to get some dope action featuring Dilly but that was a pleasant surprise. She was really holding it down while carrying Joseph lol, and him "having her back" was pretty amusing. Also I didn't realize she was that huge I need her to carry me like that ahaha.... I liked Dilly and wish her character was featured more, so it's a shame she's most likely going to die remaining loyal to that shithead Joseph.

Episode count changed from 12 to 13, I knew I wasn't going crazy. Just 2 episodes left.

Ninja Kamui is good again! First 8 minutes of the episode was lit because they didn't use those stupid CGI mech suits in the fight! Reminded me of the Kakashi vs Obito fight.

if we use screen shake effects it makes the animation seem better than it is!

unfortunately we blew our budget on the first episodes then fucked around with some cgi suits because mecha anime was really popular if i remember correctly
so maybe we can do that, make money and throw the entire ninja hand to hand combat to the side

"I had high hopes for this anime, but unfortunately, it didn't meet my expectations in these ten episodes. The storyline was repetitive, resembling plots I've seen in other anime, and I didn't see any innovation in the artwork that could distinguish it from other series. What really bothered me was the humor; not only was it not funny, but it was also very clichéd and tedious."

Wow, that was a really powerful episode.

Higan and Zai clashing fists (loved that it was a "normal" fight without of the robot suits - although both are cool) and revealing some more of their history together.

The scenes with Yamaji against Joseph were really tense, and I didn't expect it to suddenly break into all-out war in the tech city. Dilly protecting Joseph before "throwing him away" to face an apparent last stand was pretty sad, and seemed to love or care for him.

Once again, we are treated to a good fight scene between Higan and Zai. Poor Zai does not know what he is fighting for as deep down he didn't want to kill Higan and Mai. I thought Auza CEO Joseph was going to die after Yamanji's literally hostile takeover of Auza, but his bodyguard Dilly saved him by tossing him out of the window and landing on a drone to escape hopefully for another episode. Mike was also captured by Auza, but it was only to buy time for the hacker to successfully decrypt Emma's data on Auza.

I thought there was going to be one episode left, but it looks like there will be two more episodes

I’m happy at least there wasn’t any mech fighting in this episode. The fight was okay, but nothing crazy. We only have 2 more episodes until the show is over and unfortunately this one was a flop imo. I really wanted it to be good. The first couple episodes showed a lot of potential, but it fell flat on its face the further it got in.

After the disappointingly crappy-ass episodes in this anime I have to say, this episode isn't bad, it's actually a decent episode, the animation and fight choreography are nowhere near as good as the first episode, but it was decent, however... that shaky camera was annoying as fuck, I was getting dizzy in the first couple of minutes, the fight wasn't bad, but the shaky camera was horrible.

Also... FINALLY... I didn't have to see that mecha shit because honestly, I was sick and tired of that horrible mecha shit in this anime, that's another reason I was able to enjoy this episode, they ditched the Mecha shit at least for now, I only hope they don't bring that shit again in the next episode.

The fight between Zai and Higan was alright, though there was some weird aspects to the animation. At least it was better than CGI mech suits. Still can't bring myself to care about the bland story or characters, though.

Boring episode!
Well, the animation style It got a lot worse and during the main fight the characters, Joe was the clear example, were deformed!
Betrayals and memories, once again it is the same and the story does not advance much!

We now why Zai has half head burned!

Joseph was very lucky!

Ow, Dilly surely makes my heart race. She is so strong, I like how cold she appears but loyal and caring she actually seems to be. Highlight of this episode for me. Rest was fine, at leadt no robot suit fights. Those were such a turn off for me.

First half of the episode was kind of okay mainly because of the armor-less Higan vs Zai fight. Still not as good animation-wise as the battles we saw against rando ninjas in episodes 1-3, but way better than the garbage the show has been serving for a while now.

The second half of the episode with the Mike-Hacker stuff and the Yamaji vs Joseph scenes were comically stupid both in terms of story and animation quality. It looked so bad. And for Dilly to throw Joseph out a glass window and for him to somehow grab onto a rope that's dangling from a helicopter below without getting chopped up or missing the rope and going splat was so goofy... I don't get it. Is Joseph really that integral to wrapping the story up? Couldn't just let him die instead of doing that dumb shit?

Fight choreography was on point. I'm happy they didn't kill each other. I did but didn't expect the full-on betrayal of Joseph and the Geezer. I'm surprised D defected to protect Joseph. This anime is just non-stop people doing what they want and throwing hands and I'm here for it.

Zai rediscovers the memories of Higan and Mari's betrayal and is left with the decision to make the right choice. Higan does his best to convince Zai.

Yamahi is a step ahead of Jason's plan in eliminating the Ninjas and is stopped by his own ninja.

Such a clean episode I'm glad they decided to stick to the 2/2.5D animation it's less jarring and even feels more fluid for the application. Story wise it's starting to peak I'm excited to see what Yamaji has planned with the data and Gusoku suits for his Ninja army
