Decent episode. I'm a bit confused because it was overall a pretty calm episode even though quite a few things happened. I am liking Tsuruume and Kuchiha more and more. ^^

I'm a bit confused also. xD Though still, a good episode.

;-; Did Heihachi really die? That's so sad. DX

Yeah, this episode also confused me a little. Overall a decent episode but I don't think Heihachi is really dead.

I feel bad for the Fox ;__; but I hope Heihachi didn't die...

The characters of this series are just awesome... And of course the plot is really original too, I just love Amatsuki.

In every age, in every place, the deeds of men remain the same.

Don't really understand much about what's going on anymore. Where things seem to be going, is interesting though.





Did you know there's a Phantasy Star Club?

I'll summarize this episode to try and clarify it for you guys.

- Toki and crew join up with one of Tadajirou's students to gather information before heading to their destination.
- Flash back explaining how the fox became attached to the tree spirit.
- Tree Spirit was cut down by humans causing the fox to lose control and go on a killing spree against the tree spirits wishes.
- The large base of the tree spirit is stuffed with drugs and hidden (in previous episode). Shamon notices the shed gives off a holy feeling (aka. the Tree spirit's aura is inside).
- Toki realizes he's stuck in the middle of a battle between humans and beasts/spirits/gods. He's trying to understand both sides without taking anyones side. You can consider him an ally to both sides.
- Heihachi is attacked by the fox that inhabited the tree spirit before it was cut down. The fox is currently taking on the form of a human women.
- Bon is looking for his missing partner, Tsuyukusa, who happens to be with Heihachi. In order to find him he goes to a gambling hut to meet up with a human that happens to be an escaped prisoner.


Hope this helps a bit. It should get clearer in the next ep and the ep after when everyone clashes together in the same place.

Thanks for the explanation, DeathfireD, I was also a bit confused by this episode, but now I know what's going on again.

Aagh~ I'm going to England Sunday, so I won't be watching Amatsuki for a while... Too bad, I really like this anime. It's a bit confusing, to me it appears to be a rather complex story bunched in a few episode. (And I just can't keep all the side characters apart). Nevertheless, I like the psychology and characters a lot, they all have an own personality and development.

Something has to spark this conflict, I am sure we will find out what it is soon enough

This episode was pretty laid back considering all the things that are going on. After 3 episodes, Heihachi's fate is still dragged on. I feel like quite a bit of things were introduced in this episode that don't seem to be important to the main plot. Hopefully, it's just a more complicated plot than I perceived it to be rather than just a bunch of useless information.
