The big battle between the factions is about to begin! We got a nice final build up episode before getting a flurry of fights across these seven bridges. The sparring match the start the episode was pretty cool. Each fighter showing how strong they are, both exceptional swordsman. Nio badgering Hajime about what each stance meant did make me laugh, his eagerness to follow along was funny. Hajime also picking up on some mysterious figures in the crowd. Who ended up being lackeys for this Blood Rissidian group targeting the Miburo. The conversation that Nio had with Nagi before he left felt so ominous since she knows they're after the Miburo and Nio is a member. Sakura the swordsmith coming to the Miburo base was fun. All the guys naturally fawning over her, I'm glad she's their official swordsmith now and that she's gonna help the group out. Naozumi just popping up behind Taro was very scary delivering that letter. At least these guys have the respect to send a letter of invitation to fight instead of just starting the fires without warning. This should be am exciting set of fights!

That one guy looks like the big Miburo so much, I thought he had actually betrayed them. Seriously, the design is so close. The Sensei's brother is just a bit slimmer but has the same hair & clothing. It's like looking at twins.

I love how they present Japanese history and all samurai from Edo period, but this anime looks a bit boring. Maybe the last episodes will be more interesting.

It’s clearly that Nagi-san has troubles and Yotaro-san cannot protect her as much as possible. Nio is such a nice guy offering him to help her.

Nio is way too naive.

Isami vs. Yotaro for a friendly bout, with Naozumi being the only one fully aware of the latter's skills, even Hajime also knows the former's skills thanks to his connections with the underground, and the Kondo family himself whom accepted him into the family to practice the "way". And it's pretty much evident of the contrast between both guys, even as the friendly bout ends in Yotaro's win that makes the dojo match interesting with a formidable sight. It may be a friendly sight now, but even Nagi knows that this peace will not last.

With all members of the Blood Risshidan gathered, the inevitable fight is on...while Hijikata brought Sakura to the Miburo with a refresh on everyone's swords, and while she definitely brought popularity upon the group, Naozumi discreetly coming to them with a letter of challenge with Nio being fully unaware of the danger that both Hajime and Hijikata have been investigating behind the scenes for his sake, now is the time that the Miburo cannot be complacent.

Operation: Save Kyoto is in action!

Yotaro earns respect from Kondō Isami and his students in a kendou match.
So we got a flashback of Jiro before he came at the snake's establishment with his father/mentor and he introduced him to Kondō?
The Miburo leave but Saitō Hajime notices something Nio does not.
Naive but kindhearted Nio recommends his gran as a midwife to Nagi.
Nio can't decide what Kanji to have on their new uniforms
The presence of a woman causes some noise among the Mibu Rōshigumi.
Awww, Sakura came to sharpen Hjikata's blades. Soon all the men line up. She appraises one sword finding it to be a fake kotetsu. Her face brightens when she notices a genuine one on Serizawa who makes her the Miburo's official swordsmith.

Tarou receives a challenge letter from Naozumi.

So Blood Risshidan are gonna burn Kyoto? Is this gonna be the

Sakura's hot as f... coughs coughs

My how every one are charmed by her and so easily accepted Sakura, without judging her in any way. It's was cute how they acted jealous about Hijikata bring a women home.

Guess the hour of battle is upon us, I hope everyone survives as it won't be an easy win this time.
