Kofuku can be really scary ..
until I'm already mad at Yukine, I think Yato should leave it
but I believe that soon the reason Yato bet on Yukine be revealed
or Yato may die before too ..
only improves the anime, best of the season
__________

Kofuku pode ser realmente assustadora ..
até eu ja estou com raiva do Yukine, penso que Yato devia deixá-lo
mas creio que logo o motivo de Yato apostar em Yukine será revelado
ou Yato poderá morrer antes também ..
o anime só melhora, melhor da temporada

Wow, things certainly took a drastic turn for the worse. Hope Yato and Hiyori will be alright, and that Yukine's issues would finally be resolved (him sulking and running rampant is kind of getting old). Looks like there'll be some sort of ritual performed - to save them, or is it a hole appearing, I wonder?

Overall, a good episode, better than the last couple I think.

This anime is so damn sad. I will never understand what Yukine is going through. But I know it's not easy on him. How can anyone blame him for his actions? Do we forget the fact that he is too young to accept the fact that he is not amongst the living anymore? Remember when Yato shed tears for Yukine? Probably that's why Yato is enduring everything.

I wonder why Bishamon stepped back when Kofuku threatened her. I thought Bishamon is the strongest of all of them. Is it because of she respects Kofuku? I think we heard that somewhere in one of the previous episodes.

Noragami is the best Winter Anime so far by some distance. There aren't many serious anime airing this season. So, this one leaves quite the impression after each passing week.

I got so annoyed when Yukine lost control of himself I wanted to punch the screen but damn I'm glad he finally saw how hurt Yato is because of all the shit he has done.

And what's with Daikoku creating the borderline, it's a life and death situation here yo

Nonetheless, I'm freaking looking forward to the next ep (Yato please be okay ;_;)

Yukine is already giving me rage, if he dies I will not be sorry. Kofoku is a fluffy even enjoyed it lurks in bishamon, but otherwise the weather was very dense episode, although a little slow could reinforce what Yukine Yato and feel real, and now I think I will enter the final straight.

Yukine is a pain in the rear however I personally like the fact that a troublesome youth is actually damaging in this story instead of just being dissmissed as brooding and/or ranked as the 'cute bad boy' (love interest) - real reason for character progression here.

In anime Bones toned down Yukine, but till now the animation was more or less faithfull to original work.

I actually hate Yukine, he really is one of the most selfish characters I have ever seen. He just doesn't care how he has hurt Yato at all -- RAGE


Well, to be fair to Yukine, he didn't know anything about how serious his actions had a consequence on Yato uptil now. All he was told was that Yato would suffer for his actions and he was treated as nothing but a tool. Part of the blame lies on Yato.

Damn yukine is really getting on my nerves. I never really liked him. Ungrateful bastard. I hope Yato kills him..

Although that seems unlikely. Yato cares too much for him that he's now dying for him.

Well I get why he put the borderline between them, didn't want kofuku to get infected as well. But anyways now hiyori is infected as well.

Working with Yukine is like walking on the thin line of craziness. He's a bomb always ready to explode. Real tired of your shit Yukine...

I'm glad that Hiyori finally realised the impact Yukine had on Yato.

Also, YatoxHiyori is love :3
They are a mix of cuteness and hilariousness :P

Kofuku mad face was epic :D

Hiyori called out on Yukine for his selfish acts, finally! That moment when Hiyori pauses and tells Yukine that he's coming with them was powerful. Looks like we'll be seeing Tenjin and Mayu again next episode, perhaps they will be the ones to help save Yato if Kofuku and Daikoku don't help.

The bullying side-story was a pretty interesting take on the issue. I'm glad that Manabu was able to overcome his temptations. Yato's method was questionable but it does fit his character.

Also, Kofuku never disappoints whenever she appears.

I feel that either Bishamon or Nora will save Yato next episode. Anyways, I feel sorry for Yato. He tries to be understanding of Yukine and this is what he gets. I also somewhat sympathize with Yukine but in all honesty Yato should've tried to find someone else to be his shinki, and then cut ties with Yukine. Might seem cold, but Yukine can work with the older god that he went to, and everything would be fine.

I'm glad Hiyori is FINALLY taking some responsibility, and she deserves to feel the pain from that blight. The way I see it, she is partially responsible for Yato's blight as she is an enabler for Yukine's bad behavior. 1) she doesn't let Yato enforce discipline on Yukine 2) she covers for him when he does something bad.

as for my most hated character, it has to be Hiyori for the reasons above. Yes, Yukine is a troubled individual, but Hiyori enabled Yukine to commit his misdeeds and prevented Yato from doing anything about it. While I do think it is a fitting punishment for her to be turned into a shinki and be forced to kill Yukine, that is impossible given that she is still half-alive.

I am glad it has leaned towards a slightly more serious nature in the last couple of episodes. Not saying the comedy early on was "bad" but I think it would have grated on me after a while. I hope our boy Yato is okay..

Oh man this was an intense episode. I liked how they showed Kofuku's darker and more serious side in this episode (ahh hh my baby). I really really hope Yato's okay but in all honesty, Yukine needs to be an angsty teenager somewhere else because our poor deity is dying here.

But when Daikoku drew the borderline when Hiyori dragged everyone over there was actually really surprising. I get that he was trying to protect Kofuku from being blighted but I figured after Hiyori made her speech that he would take it down. Huh. I suppose it's up to Bishamon now to have a change of heart?

Let me just add that Kofuku was insanely cute in this episode I mean:



oh gosh m y baby i love you so much

It's less selflessness and more about taking responsibility for her actions. One of the reasons why Yukine is such a little brat is because Hiyori has prevented Yato from disciplining him on numerous occasions. Hiyori deserves to be blighted.

the way this series handles the tonal shits between its comedy and drama is truly spectacular especially when you take a second to consider how dark this series gets with its subject matter. great episode I cannot wait until the next episode. yukine is a character that would usually be unbearable but the way they are handling him is great.

5/5

this series has been the pleasant surprise of the season for me, at the rate its going i may end up giving it a 9 alongside space dandy and log horizon

What I never really understand was why no one confronted Yukine... actually, nevermind, how would you confront Yukine-kun about his behavior?
I believe that unless you know for sure that you don't like a concept, you should keep exploring it. Whether it be characteristics of people or a genre of some sort, you never know if you don't like it until you've seen quality work corresponding to that genre. Keep exploring until you've found something you enjoy, or something of quality. Then you know what's bad, what's good, and what isn't for you.
