| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Yoichi certainly has a dark past. How far will Masa go to continue to protect him? |
| Well, fffff. I expected that to happen but was still surprised that it actually did. +1 for fatcat appearance. Can't wait for the last episode. |
| Oh i really like how Masa show his temper. And when Yaichi cut...well it was cool too. |
| That's how they "Settle the matter" Old School Stlye. |
 |
| Fantastic episode... This one really excited me. |
| Still why was it Yaichi that executed him, unless the proper way is someone in your own gang, then again I have no idea what its supposed to be like. So far what ive gotten from this story is Yaichi was kidnapped by those same people, his family didnt want him, became a gang member, had to kill his own 'sworn' brother, would betray them later on, and is now being hunted by those same brothers. And I know im missing some stuff as well. |
| Ahhh I can't believe there is only one episode left. I need more Ichi and Masa! Second season please! |
 |
| Yaichi ♥ What a hottie. I like that he got upset at Masa, and oh, Masa didn't move and took the hit to the head. I think that surprised Yaichi. IT IS TRUE LOVE, GUYS, I AM TELLING YOUUUUUUU Also -- agreed with above. Second season pls! Idk how they're going to end it like it is. (Or why this show is only 12eps in the first place.) |
| Meh, it was quite boring. We already knew Yaichi wasn't a softie , had a dark past and that his family abandoned him . |
| True love? More like an abusive relationship. How do you smack someone across the face with whatever that thing was? LOL |
| Well, gotta say that long haired Yaichi looks cooler than short haired Yaichi, even though short haired doesn't look bad either. |
| Protip: I don't really check the forums anymore, so if you want something, take it on my profile. Is it time for my long-awaited return to the forums? щ(ﾟДﾟщ) Nope™, probably not. |
| Woah, shit just got real! I was starting to get a little bored of this show but this episode really put everything together. Can't wait for the next. |
| Magnificient direction and a huge build up for the ending. The atmosphere's always so thrilling and the characters' bonds are just extremely rich and compelling. It was a terrific episode and the series is getting better and better. Looking forward to the last episode now ! |
 In every age, in every place, the deeds of men remain the same. |
| It's amazing how slow yet compelling the show is. |
| Almost the same thing happened to Ichi years ago. Jeez there is no running away from your past always catch up to you no matter what. I freaking like this show the emotion and bond are so good. |
| It is weird. I find the show really interesting, yet really boring at the same time. I like the atmosphere and the character relationships, but sometimes I just feel it moves so slowly. I can't really describe it aha. But I am excited for the finale. I wonder how they will end it? |
| gozaru. |

| Fiesty Ichi is <3 but really, Jacut said: this is so true.Magnificient direction and a huge build up for the ending.

Looking forward to the last episode now ! |

| Only one more episode? ;____; Yaichi is a very interesting person. Got to say, I liked his long hair quite a bit. I loved how Masa did not react against Yaichi's temper tantrum. I think that really threw him off. |
 ジリティック♡BEGINNER |
| Masa can be truly amazing, he used to piss me off, but now I kinda like his personality. Nice reaction =w= Wow, I was a little shocked when Yaichi "settle the matter". Well, he never been a softie, but it really surprised me. (he looks pretty good with long hair, btw) Expecting the last episode. |
| Very good episode. I can't believe this show is gonna be over next week. It's been a pleasure watching this. The director of this series has done a great job so far. Note: Yaichi's hair is not short now. He just ties it up. |
     |
| Loved this episode! Masa was steadfast against Yaichi's burst of violence and I really respect him for that. Though I honestly have to say that I really didn't expect Yaichi to just kill the guy. Injure, yes, but not kill. Here's looking forward to a nice finale~ |
 |
| yaichi is getting more interesting after each episode |

| I have to say Yaichi is creepy. I totally haven't expected that cut from him, I was like "OMG! What?!" It was a great episode and one left~ |
 |
Cenedess said: Masa somehow stopped being annoying a few episodes ago, but now is actually becoming kinda awesome. That's what I call character development xP I agree completely. |
| The cat is so adorable. But wow, so dark. I wonder how they'll end it. |
Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated.~ |
| And we're almost to the end.... dun dun dun. Great flashback scene with Yaichi... he's brutal... Masa seems dumb, but he's very observant when it comes to Yaichi-dono. On to the final episode! |
  |
| Actually i liked the show but i dont get something. I don't like yaichi. What was the purpose of seeing a victim just like him. Why he betrayed the ones who accepted him as a brother, although he was kidnapped by him. they kidnapped him but the real ones who betrayed him were his family. |
| i love this story - so atmospheric and increasingly dark - i know what it means to be the unwanted son - like yaichi, like the ransomed boy - everything is wreathed in shadows, uncertainties, impermanence - saraiya goyou captures it all so perfect!!! |

Muukun said: to show how we all can fail - we all can betray - there is no certainty in life - if one takes the wrong path, one can end up like yaichi, if one takes the other, a saint - such are the ever-changing sands of reality...Actually i liked the show but i dont get something. I don't like yaichi. What was the purpose of seeing a victim just like him. Why he betrayed the ones who accepted him as a brother, although he was kidnapped by him. they kidnapped him but the real ones who betrayed him were his family. |
|
| de gozaru, Yaichi-dono. |
| Just wow. One moment moved this anime from being nice to great! |
| Oh wow, Sei just went badass with that sword in a bloody way. |
 |
| Well, Yaichi sure know make a scene of himself :P He's no noobie with a sword too. I heard that cutting an head in one cut is an art... Masa getting serious. I wonder how it will end. Will Yaichi die? Will Masa still defend him even after all that he have been hidding from him? |

| This show is painfully good. And sometimes, painful. Texturing experience upon experience. (。┰ω┰。) でござる. Masa, clever aho-butt. |
 |
| Pretty crazy backstory but well it sure was interesting, he's actually quite nice with long hair! I do wonder what the last episode will offer us! |
 |
| This was an especially heavy episode. Yaichi is effectively kidnapping people so he can relive his own trauma and indulge in watching others suffer like he did. It's a simultaneous experience of psychological pleasure and pain. Masa has proven to be very perceptive when it comes to Yaichi and has him near figured out. Yaichi too has subtly gone from deriving amusement from Masa's naivety to finding his keen insight to be frustrating. That flashback was really brutal, I was sitting here thinking "Losing a finger? That'll suck. Oh, he really cut off his finger...wait isn't that too much blood for one measly--oh shit...." Yaichi has already established himself as a dangerous man, but I'd be uneasy af around a guy that disconnected from others. |
 |
| yaichi with his hair down is the stuff of dreams. (he was lying then when he said he never used anything but his dagger?) masa's instinct/perception is very good, isn't it? to immediately figure out things with only half the information. I guess that person's problems with yaichi go way more back than yaichi being a snitch. |
 |
| So Sei was dick, not really surprising since he's looked sketchy as hell since day 1. With just one episode left it seems like the story won't end properly. Shame since it's gotten quite interesting in the past few episodes. |
 |
| Yaichi looks great with long hair. |
 |
| I'm sad this anime is ending in the next episode. A lot of revelations! |
| All weebs creatures of the galaxy, hear this message. Those of you who listen will not be struck by western animation. You will no longer know hunger, nor pain. Your Anime have come to lead you now. Our strength shall serve as a luminous sun toward which all intelligence may blossom. And the impervious shelter beneath which you will prosper. However, for those who refuse our offer and cling to their western animation ways… For you, there will be great wrath. |
| ah shit. why did they only give this anime one single season, this episode is too damn good, i know it will not be wrapped up in the final like this... time to read the manga |
