I liked the buildup of this episode with the preparation for the Orichi's return. Decent action as well with neither sides holding back. And finally, it is about damn time Chutaro is fighting for the right cause. FiNALLY. I can't wait to see the look on his face if he sees his brother again

Tenka is that damn awesome.

Showing a little more about Tenka!

The minister using the artifical orochi to keep him alive too.

Nishiki having an inner struggle against the two sides. The one Botan wasn't sure about. Really liked it when she took the swords with her and chose to be a Kumou ninja!

Kagami not killing the two police and how he covered his eyes using his hand when Chutarou was crying on top of him. The slight wavering in Kagami's eyes! It was nice to see that Chutaro finally is giving up on the revenge thing. I find myself wanting like a spin-off with Chutaro and Kagami just going on an adventure that isn't about revenge.

The Yamainu versus the Fuma clan, Botan and Nishiki versus Kotaro. Botan knowing it would be a dead end and had Tenka be above it. That grand entrance that Tenka made! Soramaru in orochi form :/

Quite a lot of shit going on XD Awesome shit :3 Animation and OST was really great this ep too.

Dat Sora Orochi splitting the sea O_o!!

So Tenka was an artificial Orochi because of medication that saved his life? Interesting :O Still doesn't seem to have much left to live though :(

Glad that Nishiki was able to overcome her hesitation and do something even if it meant betraying the Fuma :D Props to her trying to save her husbando

Abe and co were kickass owning all those Fuma like nothing XD I wonder how he'd react if he found out Tenka is alive.

And I feel bad for Kagami. The way he said "so u also left me alone at the end" was sad :( Hope Chutaro goes back to him.

Loved the end with Tenka appearing. Man was his smile as bright as the sun alright ^^

Tenka! \(*T▽T*)/

All those battles.
Choosing which side to join.

The Orochi has completely taken over Soramaru that he can't hear his brothers' calls.

That ending with Tenka. Now they know he's alive~

One more episode!
This anime is just amazing, I can't believe it's already nearing the end.

Nishiki has proven herself to be very useful. I'm glad she wasn't neglected.

The pacing was pretty balanced in this episode. The character focus, although not the best I've seen, managed to stay pretty consistent on every character. I was kind of worried about it, since the cast for this is on the high end.

Tenny finally made his comeback official to his brothers. Even Soramaru, while being devoured almost completely by the Orichi, was very surprised to see him alive. It's been a while since we last saw the sun too. The last scene was done very well.

Orochi-maru's (yeah, I wonder if that was intentional) power up felt so much like a Super Saiyan power up I couldn't help but chuckle.

Kagami's role in the story is what has me most interested at the moment. He's a criminal, he's a villain, he's just another character that lives for revenge, but... he is not demonized. In fact, he's humanized and portrayed in a way that makes him interesting. His final line in this episode was actually quite sad: "See? Ya abandon me like everyone else..."

I'm really interested in seeing what his ultimate role is in the story. Hopefully that's not it.

Nishiki really impressed me too because I genuinely anticipated she'd side with the Fuma, at least temporary, but I guess this just goes to show you can never trust a shinobi... She might be my favorite of the cast, but I quite like all of the characters, so what's that even saying?

One episode left. The only possible way this series is getting anything less than a 7 from me is if it completely screws up the ending. If it ends up going for a traditional, generic happy ending, that's entirely possible... so here's to hoping for something special in the finale next week.

Anyone know if there is a chance for a second season? I haven't read the manga, so I don't know the source material's length.

Also, epic episode and Moses moment with SoraOrochi.

First part of the end, things got serious.

I didn't like the Chutaro part - it felt too sudden.
I really like Nishiki. I wonder whether she and what's-her-name can win against Shirasu. I hope so.

I wonder whether Tenka will die after all - it sounded like it. :(

I really wanted to keep (start) reading when the anime ended but I think that it will adapt all the chapters...

Oh well, anyways, great episode. We got to see the reason why Tenka was alive. The build up for the fights, hope no one dies.
The ending was great :3

That lady knows where that eldest son now. Oroshi already fully woke up and cannot use his swords anymore... Guns vs. swords and swords won.

Youngest realizing he shouldn't have grudge now, and while running away, he met KajiKaji's character who became Orochi. He has entrusted to lead Orochi to where sun is. And Oldest's appearance...

Final ep. next.

I like how opening is changing according to events in episodes
and how in ending characters were added...
well... I must said it was hard when they cut Tenka,
but right now is all like "oh... how nice and good is having Tenka again in OP&ED (^^,)"

Really like ending card *.*

And story... wow! So many feelings! <3
I still can't use up all my thoughts about events and feelings from these episode...

Final episode, next week... ;(

Shirasu is funny. The man who spent 10 years pretending to be the Kumoh's friend, who didn't except Nishiki because she is not a real Fuma, and who would kill all of them anyways spouts that "betraying the Fuma is a grave sin".

So for him to betray someone is okay why?
For him, Nishiki never was Fuma, so she can hardly betray them
And what difference does it make whether she dies just like that, or because she "betrayed" the Fuma.

Of course, his actions are for the good of the Fuma/Orochi, so for him they are justified, but still, someone like him should know better than to say such nonsense. He should be way to professional for this.

I like how Hirari let Tenka go and said "Being free suits him" while thinking about how he reminds him of Taiko.

Sorachimaru rifting the sea to break Gokumonjo was epic! If he had the ability to talk, I bet his voice would've been awesome too. (Just like Orochimaru).

Sousei and his Yamainu pals are such badasses; took down those prisoners collectively in no time!

> "I have learned that if you trust people too much, you will get hurt."
Botan speaks the truth. Such philosophy is nothing but the truth. I relate to it quite a lot, unfortunately.

Nice seeing Nishiki putting her best efforts to save her husbando master. Even as a half Fuma, that was pretty admirable.

Felt bad for Kagami, especially when he said "See? Ya abandon me like everyone else..." Since his VA also does Kaiki, that was a bit heartbreaking for me..
Hope he finds a better reason to keep living.

Tenka appears at the right time to save his brothers. That smile of his was great as always. (^^)

Good episode. Hopefully, this show will have a happy ending as the title of the next week's PV suggests.

One line,yet so perfect.

Agreed. Tenka really is a great person. He's can be positive (even though he suffers as well) even in such a dire circumstance where they don't know if they can really separate the Orochi from Soramaru. Best onii-chan/parent(s) ever.

Nishiki so cool in this episode :) Gerokichi stopping all of the sudden and flinging Chuutarou off was lol.

Ahh I can't believe there's only one more episode left.

Probably not, this adaptation pretty much covers the entire manga. There is a prequel series that's currently ongoing but its still far from having enough material to adapt.

What an episode! I was tearing up at the very end.....idk,this anime makes me so emotional XD

I pretty much loved everything about this ep. but especially the "moment" Kagami and Chutaro had. I am somehow very fond of Kagami and i hope Chutaro adopts/marries him after this whole shizz is over:'D (plz don't die any of you...)

Takamine is ok and Takeda is happy......so am i (about my ship sailing).

Awesome build up, every episode is better than the one before it! Botan and Nishiki vs Shirasu I can't wait to see the outcome of the that.

Fuma vs Yamainu is going to be an awesome fight and best of all Tenka comes to the rescue!!! Tenka is by far my favourite character in this anime.

Sort of wished they went for the "Tenka faking his own death route" since its shown that he had foresight into this disease of sorts, and he also had knowledge that the Kumoh clan was specifically targeted for the Orochi. Would of been a cool moment, much more cool then him being saved by the One-Handed-Man. Although it sort of works out because the same thing happened with their ancestors.
I'm really satisfied that Nishiki staying with the Kumoh. At least someone from the Fuma doesn't betray them...Shirashuuuu!!!

Nothing short of impressive. I was awed.

First of all, the Yamainu, aren't they a little bit too badass? Man I love them. They are so strong yet they are still working under someone else and never gave in to their own greed. I really like that part of each of them. I would have loved to see each of their backstory, especially the Ashiya's and the chinese shorty.

Then we have the scene with Kagami, oh my, I've always liked his character, always felt that the reason for him living is way too tragic, and that it wasn't his fault that he is who he is today. He's trying to fill the void inside his heart by giving himself a false purpose to his life, yet I have always felt that once he accomplished his goal, he will realize that his entire life was meaningless. The time he spent with Chuutarou gave me hope that Chuutarou will someday heal his heart. Please don't abandon him, Chuutarou.

Next we have Nishiki, you don't know how much I ship Nishiki x Soramaru, I've always like that sort of relationship, where the guy gives the girl a purpose to live her own life (or vice versa) and it progresses into a romantic relationship. I can see a huge death flag on her though, now that she's up against the Fuma.

Speaking of death flag, there's a huge one on Tenka too. I feel that he'll pass away after saving Soramaru by the next episode, and with his death, it allows a lot of things to move forward again, especially on Soramaru's part where he got to grow up and actually be the man of the family, and Chuutarou will fill in the role of Soramaru at the beginning of the show and try to be independent.

The ending of this episode, it was done perfectly, Tenka came back to settle the affair among themselves brothers. It was fitting because the entire series thus far has been about the Kumoh brothers.

Onto the last episode, we go!

Seems like the sunshine *cough* Tenka *cough* is back into Soramaru and Chutaro's life. Good to see Nishiki having chosen the Kumoh instead of the Fuma clan, real waifu there. I hope she ends up with Soramaru at the end of this ordeal.
