| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- So, it becomes Night of the Dead..... Now we probably know why Akasha betrayed the Kougun cult: Shikabane Himes do not go to heaven when 108 corpses are slayed....They are being deceived by the cult... Instead, something horrible happens...and it happened to Akasha's shikabane hime.... The secret of the Kougun cult: WHAT/WHO are in the many coffins of the underground chamber??? Cool Zadan jutsu by Ouri, he definitely improved, by a lot apparently... Since he can defeat Sadahiru in one shot (even though he faked it on purpose)...isn't he a bit too strong now? And impressively climatic ending: Hokuto used the sacred Shikabane making scroll to counter the purification Zadan jutsu and destroyed the En of all Shikabane. Now, all contract are destroyed....Next episode, all Shikabane goes berserk and start killing their contractor priest.....ouch.... If the whole series was like this, it would have been great.... |
bla bla bla The endless debate between fans and haters. At one point, after spending a lot of time on MAL, you just realize it's totally pointless.Niko-kun said: On MAL, everyone who has used the lame rating system becomes a critic and an intellectual by default, haven't you heard? |
| Its funny because I figured the whole corpse go to heaven thing was bullshit since the first time they mentioned it. I had a feeling that it was just a control device. The Kougan are corrupt and Im taking Akasha's side on this one, the side of love lol. Hopefully Ouri and Makina will to when they discover the truth. It will also be interesting if Akasha's Hime is in one of the coffins. |

| If Akasha's hime is in a coffin, it would explain why he changed sides so easily, but I'm not understanding how the older himes in the coffins would affect the other contracts. Guess that is just me using my head too much, but as great as the series is finally becoming, there are still so many holes on the storyline to fill. So the question is: Can they fill them all? IF they can, then this will be one of the best series I have ever seen. If not, well, you know already how the series will be flamed with an open ending. |

| The corpse she pierced was the corpse that was laying in the main coffin on top of the platform. That might have something to do with it. |

| Oh boy, what? I wonder who this corpse was. Hokuto was awesome again.  |

Indeed This epeisode is your regular zombie flicks or the end of the world movie. Where is Alucard when you need him? |
| well like any good hero vs villain story, you gotta have a big crisis. and then someone will come up and be the savior of all...probably ouri or something. and then some cheerful up beat ending to leave everyone with a warm fuzzy feeling. |
| Ooh, it's The Mummy! |

| Things are picking up and it's turning out pretty good. Hokuto looked badass at the end, Oori randomly picks up a hadouken, and always thought there was something about the 108 thing. |
 |
| After seeing this episode I'm actually waiting for the next one, it was rather awesome. I think everybody figured the 108 corpses story was a lie, it seemed a little... convenient. Oori is way too powerful now, Makina seems to have regenerating clothes and Hokuto's boobs grew in size, yet again. I didn't understand anything that happened though, it was just awesome. |
| I'm not sure i would jump on the Oori being way too powerful bandwagon. He does seem to have a lot of inherrent power and then there is of course what he gains from having his little guardian "angel" but when he fought to get in that cave, it was stated that hte otehr guy was purposefully hit with his attack, seemingly because he wanted oori to win (they seemed to be kind of friends after all). Will be interesting to see how things turn out. Makina never became a shikabane hime for the promise of going to heaven and oori wasn't her contacted priest because he wanted to send her to heaven, so i doubt they will instantly turn on the Kougon cult and join the betrayer, but after they defeat him, i'd be surprised if they stay with it. I doubt the body in the coffin is just Akasha's shikabane hime. probably some sort of focus for their contracts. Not to mention over the years there must have been more shikabane hime that hit their goal than the number of coffins there so not sure the bodies could all be shikabane hime that have "gone to heaven." Of course with this series, i wouldn't be surprised if Makina dies (either to save oori or just as a release) and oori happily lives on remembering her. |
| Great direction, great developments, great animation, great BGM and a lot of secrets being revealed. I always knew this series was great. I want more. When you take everything into account, the script has been very good so far, and this episode is only a step forward in the right direction, it's not like Oori's powers, his relationship with Makina, the high importance of the sacred chamber for the Kougon cult or the contract of the 108 lives for the Shikabane Himes come from nowhere. It was kept hidden when it needed to, and it was revealed when the time was right, that's all. The structure of the anime is really good and the script is very well mastered overall. Then again, GAINAX + Murata is a really cool combination, and if the budget would have been bigger in some episodes, the whole series would have been awesome (not counting that the original material - the manga - is really bad compared to the anime, and didn't really help to make a good series). |

| How come we never get to see the second Shikabane Hime in action of that priest with the sword? D: |

wakka9ca said: Well if you was talking about what we saw in the preview, i think it was more like a flashback about what happened to Akasha's Shikabane Hime after she defeated 108 corpses or more. As for now it seems like every Shikabane Hime are going be to collapsed. And since Makina is a little bit special than the other Shikabane Hime, then she might saved the day somehow with Ori.Next episode, all Shikabane goes berserk and start killing their contractor priest.....ouch... Wasabi said: LOL yeah, but well we will have to see Akasha's Shikabane Hime in action next episode.How come we never get to see the second Shikabane Hime in action of that priest with the sword? D: |

| This is the second time since I completed the first season, the feeling of finally understanding something is great yet at the same time, understanding what comes next is actually quite sad... This means... Let me guess.. |

| Weird episode. I guess it was done pretty well, but I did think that the 108 killings was fake, so to see that as the betrayer's only motivation for betraying is weird and lame (if I understand correctly). |
| I bet you the corpse in the room are the Shikabane Himes that got the 108 shikabanes killed. Hopefully Ouri can save the day. |

mitamaking said: I bet you the corpse in the room are the Shikabane Himes that got the 108 shikabanes killed. Hopefully Ouri can save the day. Akira (sniper girl) and Makina have already hit that number. Maybe even the girl with two katanas too. I wonder why the cult hasn't done anything about Makina. They had several chances to seal her away. The coffins obviously have some kind of connection to the Shikabane Hime but it's hard to tell what it is exactly. Shikabane get a Rune from their monk but it's unclear where the monk gets that rune. Is it a part of their soul or maybe the Rune is originally from a preexisting Shikabane that had already reached 108 corpses. So basically when a Shikabane Hime reaches the magical number of 108, the monks are then able to create a rune from her to pass on to a monk. In either case theres two things that are obviously needed to keep a Shikabane under your control and/or alive a) Your rune and b) The coffin himes. |

| is animebreaker still subbing Shikabane Hime: Kuro?? |

imperfek said: is animebreaker still subbing Shikabane Hime: Kuro?? No, Animebreaker dropped Shikabane hime after receiving C&D letters from funimation. Don't worry though TMD are still subbing it just their releases are a bit slower. |
 |
| And it's finally admitted that the 108 rule was just a lie. I wonder why though. I mean, of course it gives them a reason to fight Shikabane, but I'm sure there's other ways of doing that. Makina's just being killing them because they killed her family. Definitely enjoyed the pace of this episode. Finally all the secrets are beginning to unravel. |
| Meh episode. |
 |
| Oori just got all powerful all of a sudden :O |
 |
| Damn, next episode preview... I wonder how many Priest are going to die? Or how many are going to kill their Hime? Could some of the Hime/Priest suppress their feelings for the sake of their partner...? |
 |
| That was crazy af episode but the thrill was amazing. |
