| Fubuki is not just talented but also an intelligent strategist. However, these kids were going up against characters that towers over them in size. On another note, some of the adults in this show are merciless. Seeing some of the background storytelling is tragic. I like how they used unique art style to highlight the more important scenes in this show. Tokiyuki also made his resolve. |

| Knowing the author, this new technique'll be like an ace in the hole, just like Nagisa’s thing in Ansatsu. That's besides the point though, because damn, I ain't expect for us to just jump right into the action. I thought we would have more setup knowing this show, but I guess they just integrated it into the beginning of the fight, which I much rather prefer. Animation was looking good, until the general dude started moving..?? Dude just turned to CGI for half his shots lol. Probably because of his big ass armor or something, I would assume. Speaking of dude though, a more lamer villain than the others we had up until now. Literal definition of being evil to be evil. |

| Mainly a set up episode for what should be some good fights next week. Fubuki aura is insane. The dude is OP, charismatic and can teach swordsmanship. He might be the best recruitment Tokiyuki has made so far. If there was any doubt, Shokan is a pure evil irredeemable piece of shit who needs to die. The buddha strike is too much of a good end for him. I need him to suffer in that fight next week. Handling with compassion is good and all, but he needs a cut with hatred lmao. Getting joy from killing their parents and selling kids off into slavery holy fuck man Ashikaga’s men are all just demons. Japan is screwed if they really get full control Can’t wait for next episode, Tokiyuki looked so good today too! |

| Really disappointed in the fights, for what was suppose to be an action episode. Way too much talk, don't show. |
| Ok lets see how Tokiyuki or I guess Chojumaru beats this evil POS. Fubuki is like an SSR or Uber rare character. He can teach, fight, and strategize. His only con if it is one is that he eats like Luffy. Basically a pretty OP character though he'll drain your food supplies. also the strongest isn't the ant leader guy but this guy?  |

| Really looking forward to seeing Tokiyuki Defeat that evil Shokan that guy absolutely deserves no mercy. |
| compassionate homicide Basically countered master tactician by knowing their likely plans and how they would try to counter. They are in a really good position now as don't have many distractions and can focus on the big dogs. Hopefully they show us what happened, want to see this fighting style with no place to run. My brain keeps imagining like a running away pull slice but feels weird. 4/5, my curiosity on what happened is killing me |

| DAMN! The quality of the episodes are going up once again! Love how they put the perspectives and the freaking Takaoka-knock off is amazingly creepy. Daaaaamn! Next episode with be soooo gooooooood x3 |
Life is too short for looking at the past. Enjoy your 'now' and just prepare a bit for the future~ |

| @joemaamah The fights are mid. Maybe they will be much better in the next episode? Otherwise, there will be so much more in the next season, since it will be war most of that season. |

| Production quality dropped and more cg usage, not that it was bad but not on par with earlier episodes but then again this wasn't an action packed episode and rather a setup for the fights with the matchups now done and the real fight begining. Hyped for Tokiyuki's new stance. Was offscreened this episode but we got a glimpse of it. |
 |
| Excellent episode. Fubuki's Strategy and the execution by the retainers were awesome. Amped up for enthralling action in the upcoming episode. |
 |
| It seems like Tokiyuki's going to literally kill this psycho ant guy with kindness. Or at least I hope so. I'm curious about the "Demon-heart Buddha Blade" now, that's one badass technique name. Fubuki's such a great teacher and strategist, everything is all according to his keikaku (T/N: plan). |
| Tokiyuki drew first blood by wounding the greedy Shokan and I did not mind the use of CGI in this episode. |
 |
| I'm really liking the use of CGI in this anime. Using it on the villains gives them that kind of "off" look. The inhuman and uncanny movements are used very well imo. |
 |
| Impressive, Choji went for his wrist, probably cut the tendons that'll prevent him from wielding a sword. If he doesn't want to bleed out and die, he'll have to retreat. It's a compassionate way of killing if he decides to continue down the path of a warrior and not leave the battlefield. Otherwise, he could survive and live a life of nonviolence. |
 |
| While I understood the backup plan that Fubuki made for Tokiyuki I'm not completely sure what the current plan is other than it seems to be where Tokiyuki uses smaller hits against Shokan to wear him down while continuously dodging his attacks. If that's the case it sounds like a great plan as Tokiyuki should have more stamina and still has the backup plan if Shokan wises up and gets a hit in or something. |
| dude with the france flag on his face was really creaming at his boss being smart bru what. and the visuals were, yikes. but i liked the ost during the game of tag talk. |
 |
| Damn i swear the episode flew by like 5 minutes, i was waiting for their fight and the episode is already over |
 |
| Is this show Cloverworks' side bitch? Normally it looks ok but when it looks bad it looks BAD. CG for normal people walking? We just had Windbreaker last season that wasn't nearly this crusty. Only other example I can think of was S1 of Spy x Family where there were some ugly scenes with CG background characters. |
| Man, if the little lord told me "do you have a minute to spare?" whilst looking at me like that, I would have immediately taken him into the next room and plapped his holes for the next few hours. Not gay btw. |
| Being the tactician that he is, Fubuki is strong himself, which Tokiyuki just wants to test his elusiveness against, but couldn't muster the ability to. And there is one such technique for him: the Demon-heart Buddha Blade, that he can face against Shokan on a one-to-one. Shokan knows that they're in the line of fire against a lesser army, but Fubuki's strategy of laying traps and having men from Suwa also helps their numbers somewhat. The children are the final line of defense against a formidable enemy, as well as a laid out strategy with him facing Tokiyuki with the technique he'd learnt from the master tactician. A child against an adult, Shokan thinks that it's a joke trapping him, though his psychology still retains the insanity of his vigour, starting the one-on-one war tag. Still, this plan is a two-prong affair with the main and backup plan to lace the small house with fire, though it all depends on Tokiyuki to do the technique right. Tokiyuki making strides to improve his swordmanship, nice. |
 |
| I'm loving how bizarre characters are. |
| Fubuki's aura is really insane. Probably my favourite character, tied with Takauji. |

Reply to Sheol01
Kill this greedy psychopath yesterday! And won't cutting the tendons in one of their legs slow them down as slaves/workers? What's wrong with this twisted nut job?!
| @Sheol01 No cutting their tendons will make it hard for them to run away but will be fine for most slave work other than hard labor. |
| This shounen is so ridiculously cliche and dumb. I mean this show. If the main characters weren't so beautifully designed and animated I would've dropped this by now. It has the brains of a 4 year old. It's so immature the violence just comes off as comical. but look what you're laughing at- and it's insanely cruel. |
| It's a great episode, hinting at the second person he'll kill. I love the well laid plan that he came up with. |

| Shokan also has a terrifying face and I can't stop staring at those ants. |
 |
| the animation in this episode went crazy! The CG was a little bit weird but I lowkey worked I think. |
 |
| All the fights have been decided and it looks like Tokiyuki is also confident in his skills. I really want him to win his fight by himself. |
 |
| Just an episode to put things in place basically. I can understand for Fubuki, but Tokiyuki fighting that main bad alone is a huge risk, however you see. Though we know he ain't dying, but him defeating that man, again, all alone, would be something surprising as well, except if they've already planned something major. |
