For some reason something didn't feel right when they killed off Mutikapa-sama but never mind.
Wonder what kind of weapon that steel fan is.

It was really sad. It would be hard to look at this child after killing it's mother. She was just protecting it -_- Putting that aside, this guy really looks weird without ears among these people. No one is surprised?

im still trying to figure out why they have those ears and tails lol

anyway they would have been better off just stabbing it in the head in the first place

Very nice, yet somewhat sad story. I'm liking it so far.

There's probably a very interesting technique you could learn to master the fan, but still , it's a very rare weapon

He has those horns on the side of his mask to compensate... Maybe that's enough? Haha, I'm still wondering why everyone has those ears anyway...

After seeing Mutikapa kill an entire family - children and parents - I found it a little hard to feel bad when it/she died. I would feel bad if the baby was left on its own, but... thankfully, Aruruu somehow knew about it and saved it. I think the newly named "Hakuoro" is right, too: Mutikapa's cub is an innocent life, and it wouldn't be right to judge it (and kill it) because of Mutikapa's bloodthirsty attitude... Maybe it will grow up only to betray them later, though. Who knows? I hope not, but guess we'll find out...

Anyway, great episode. :D I'm enjoying this, but waiting to find out what the actual plot or goal of the story is supposed to be.

So far so good still, in my eyes an animal's life is worthier than a person's life.

Very interesting to see killing a nature spirit cast in any light other than an evil one, as in Princess Mononoke. I appreciate the honest kill-or-be-killed logic of it.

Am I the only one who thought that the baby is actually a reincarnation of the tiger that was "born" after the tiger died?

Im happy they killed the tiger.Im sorry but it killed a innocent family and ate a baby for a stupid rock being tumbled over it deserved to die.I thought they were going to do some bs thing where they spare it cause of feelings.Also why name the guy after the girls father.Its clear she likes him why you gatta make this awkward for her.

Hakuoro x Eruruu ship GO!

I wonder if Mutikapa went on a killing spree because the altar thingy was destroyed or because she was hungry and was nursing a baby.

Can't help but think "yeah it's cute now but it won't look as cute when it's munching on your loved ones' bodies a couple of years from now."

OP for the show indicates the tiger-cub becomes useful as it grows up, so it's not too bad a move for it to be raised by the younger daughter. He's finally earned a name, and pretty clearly the Eruruu is more than a little interested in him. From an off-hand comment by Pop's wife in the first episode, it looks like she's of the age where it's expected to find a husband, so good luck girl.
Please don't feed the trolls!

I was wondering what was going to happen to the tiger since it appears in the OP at first I thought they wouldn't kill it but thank god they did and it's the cub the one that is taken in. The mother killed innocent people so she had to die and the guy said it well that the cub is born pure with light doing evil so yeah. The only is like others felt is the name, why give the fathers name it's just weird.

This episode was intense but I did like how it was executed and now that we know why the mother was acting like that, it makes me feel bad for her. Can't wait to see what the next episode brings.

So he gets a name :D, I'm really liking Hakuoro's character so far.
Didn't really feel bad for the Mutikapa considering what it's done.

I thought the tiger in the opening was the same, so I didn't expected her to be killed.
It was just an animal, but she killed a family, so... well, a necessary kill for the villagers.

That was a cool episode. Seeing Hakuoro put things together, coming up with a plan to deal with Mutikapa. It's interesting that Aruruu believes that Hakuoro is her father because he is wearing her father's clothes. Something I didn't really pick up before, and baby Mukkuru is cute.
