Makes sense that Yaiba wouldn’t be the only one training to get stronger or develop new skills… like, you know, summoning ogres with magic and all that. Oh, and getting yourself a whole set of armor to look even scarier than you already do lol. Meanwhile, Yaiba is still just as, if not even more, adorable than usual. But don’t get it twisted: he’s been locked in on his training and is way stronger now. And what better way to show it than by fighting some of Onimaru’s ogres.

And yeah, honestly, I don't blame Yaiba for cracking up mid-fight because these CDs man… lmaooo. Anyway, Yaiba busts out the Raijinken, and this big-ass ogre and Miyamoto team up to get Yaiba back to his senses... at the cost of the sword’s actual power source getting extracted. But even without it, bro spins that thing like a damn propeller and starts chainsawing through trees trying to catch the shadow dudes xD

All’s well that ends well, and we got ourselves a new marketable plushie, I mean animal, to join the gang. And yeah, Onimaru’s stirring up a whole lotta trouble as we speak… so it’s time for a rematch!

So finally, Onimaru shows his true self, and what's been hiding inside of him have finally resurfaced thanks to the Fujinken.
As for Yaiba, there's still a long way to go for him to master the Raijinken.

The toad creature being more "friendly" than the snake also shows that personality are pushed forward, and where a toad is generally not very harmful, the snake really is.
So to all the peeps that were saying that Onimaru was nice and all before Yaiba got to him, it should prove you wrong.

A good "training" episode and it looks like the next one will also be one, I guess we're in for a "quest-like" series of episodes to master the Raijinken, I just wonder if Sayaka holding the crystal is a good idea.. if Onimaru shows up, she'd lose it in a second.

Onimaru has truly become evil, now using his newfound power for selfish reasons, and he has even shifted his allegiance to being Raijinken's master instead of Yaiba’s.

On the other hand, we have Yaiba, who is still struggling to wield this new power and bring it under his control, unlike Onimaru. Even so, he really crushed the fight, despite struggling at first.

The episode took a major turn with Onimaru making such a bold move—to control, or rather rule, the entire country.

Onimaru is going for total domination. He's not just sitting back while Yaiba gets stronger. He's sending eight strong oni to track him down and steal the thunder sword. On top of straight up attacking the government and setting himself up as ruler of the country. I didn't expect this series to become this big in scale. I knew there'd be large fights but I didn't think about there being such public displays of power from our villain. Yaiba meanwhile is still training up on the mountain. Musashi isn't having great luck in getting Yaiba is really grasp anything. He's too impatient and impetuous as the old man said. Wants to get all the power and all the techniques right away without understanding what they mean and what he's doing. Only to be interrupted by two of the eight Oni that have been unleashed. A frog and a snake, quite the interesting pairing. Yaiba trying to use the thunder sword again only to he consumed by it. Musashi tried his best but couldn't just knock him out this time. Having to team up with the frog oni temporarily was pretty cool. I like when shonen do that whole start off as enemies become allies trope. After seeing how snake oni treated him it's nicd they let the frog oni join the group. We got some great action scenes with Yaiba fighting the snake oni, that spinning sword technique is really cool. Figuring out that removing the orb from the sword negates its powers. Now they must head to this island to find an old friend of Musashi and see what they can learn.

Crazy to think that one of Onimaru's demons would take Yaiba's side. To be honest, I'll take having another member on the cast aside from Sayaka and the geezer though it seems a newcomer is bound to come in soon regarding the training of the sword. Meanwhile, I expect Onimaru to serve prison after all that display. Sure, you can say that you were possessed but who's gonna pay for the reconstruction of the legal buildings huh? Shame on the horned dude.

Looks like they crammed two or three episodes from the original, and we'll reach far in just two cours.

Two bad the comedy is not working in this version.

A fun episode, with some tribulations and a lot of action!

I really love the comedy in this series. The whole subterfuge with the "beautiful lady" really got me. Also, I thought it was sweet that the amphibian guy joined our heroes and I liked how Yaiba defended him. I wasn't a fan of his moral character in the first couple episodes when he harassed Onimaru, but this was another (better) facet of his.

Yaiba learnt to use the sword atleast, even if he's using it like big a shuriken. Wonder how he'll do that when the orb's placed back. He even managed to cross water on the frog leaves. Also Onimaru really drunk on his power.

But the irony is that most of modern anime is unjustifiably long.They take YEARS to tell an animated story.

Let's hope this ends in one cour.I hoping that this is not some ten year commitment......

@genesic123 Sorry to say, season 1 is 24 episodes, and I reckon it will be at least 3 seasons because they will cover the whole thing.

Original adaptation had 52 episodes.

Onimaru, now bestowing full evil with the command of the Eight Ogres, he's growing to become the infamy of a villain.

Yaiba getting his training with Miyamoto, while Onimaru takes over the parliament and his Eight Ogres trumping into the master's lair with Sayaka and the others none the wiser to steal the Raijinken while at it, Gerozaemon Georda and Julius Zuppoppotamus III sure went discreet, but flails in comparison to Yaiba and the actual usage of Raijinken, to unfortunately let the Thunder God overwhelm him. Miyamoto having no choice, has Gerozaemon assist him for a one sole chance effort to dispel the Thunder God away from Yaiba and unsheathe the orb.

One good thing about Yaiba being his ability to laugh it off and make it his disguise to fight, this is clearly not working against Zupooppotamus, though making the sword like a propeller does to get the orb back. But with the news of Onimaru establishing the takover of the Diet, there's no time to waste for Yaiba to master the Raijinken quick and fast.

With a new ally and continuous danger looming, Yaiba and the gang better prepare for what's ahead.

So he's all brawn, no brain or control! At least Miyamoto manages to do the smart thing by having Sayaka hold the pearl. The Frog saw reason and joined them but snake lady ended up slinking off after being roundly defeated.

Another great episode and here we got Onimaru going up against the damn government to take over the world and lowkey I wasn’t expecting him to take over the world in that way, he’s letting everybody know who he is and I guess that’s just the Fujinkin taking over Onimaru’s mind. And yo why is it that everytime Onimaru swings his sword the animation picks up? His sword slash’s are so cool bc it’s just plain Sakuga animation🔥🔥🔥

It’s obvious Yaiba wasn’t gonna master the sword in one episode and it seems like it’s gonna take a couple of episodes to master it, on the other hand it seems like he’s really good at wielding it when the orb isn’t in the hilt, brodie just need to get his mental prowess in check so the Raijinkin doesn’t take over his mind💪🏽

I love the goofy villains they were funny with their goofy long names haha and it looks like Gerozaemon is going with them on their journey and tbh I’m happy bc I didn’t want him to die :D

Sakaya is so cute as usual man I love how she gets embarrassed and I love how her go to insult is to call ppl a pervert haha she’s such an adorable loli I’m happy she’s gonna be in every episode man😩💢
