| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Wow, am I tweaking out because it's 6:00am, or did Miaka just cleave an island in half and clear out a tropical storm with one swing of Hotohori's sword? Why does she need six holy protectors to make this journey again? :P |

| That's about the dumbest thing someone can do. Fighting electricity with a sword in the middle of a thunder storm. |
| The sword provides as a lightnight rod, so it wouldn't harm her. It was nice to find out about Nuriko's past. Although I find it to be a bit of a strange reason for him to act like a woman. |
| That was pretty epic. Way to go Miaka! Love it when the girl who is always being rescued turns out to be the one to rescue everyone else. |

| ..interesting backstory there Noriko _xD and shamelessly you just rip people's clothes off, seriously though, i was surprised somehow by his lack of boobs, i don't know why .-.' wow- beware of rabit horses of the new country .-.'? ah, the legend turned into a vague game of he said she said.. porn! |
 I like to comment Episodes as i Watch them. |
| Why do I remember Gintoki at times like this lol.. When the man said he brought the elder "choro", I remembered that scene in Gintama when he's left with nothing but the choro to use in the combat lol. |

It was acceptable in the 90s to have zero clue about trans people. In fairness, I'd never heard the word "newhalf" before this episode (and I hope to heaven that it isn't an offensive term for a trans person). Nuriko's believable, awesome and not just a series of bad jokes. I would agree. I think that post I made was more of an instant reaction to the episode (when I was 14) than what I ended up thinking in the long run. If I remember correctly, this is the episode where we find out that Nuriko takes on that feminine role because of grief for his lost sister, right? I still think it's a touching story and I don't think it's that offensive, especially considering the time when the series was created. I think I found it a strange explanation at first, but it doesn't bother me now and it certainly didn't bother me for long. As the series goes on, and in general, in some ways I think Nuriko's character is ahead of that time. |
| So the previous miko, who successfully summoned the beast-god, was the daughter of that professor (doctor?) who found the book? If so, it seems she died in the process and that's why her father killed himself. |
