THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
I don't really understand this. How the hell is Shishio just not effected by anything they throw at him?

Fuck me in the ass I can't stand hearing Shishio repeat that "survival of the fittest" mantra and its various variations anymore. Hoji is annoying as shit too. Seeing Saitou get thrashed so easily was also annoying as shit. This entire episode was annoying as shit. Someone kill that fucker already.

I'm seriously hoping Aoshi can at least put a dent into his defenses before Kenshin inevitably returns like we know he will, but that's probably too much to ask for.

these fights were really dissapointing...how the fuck can shishio stop swords with his fingers? How is he that strong with that burnt skiny body of his? I was expecting a much more tactical fight with a lot of mindgames and strategies.
1/5 for these episodes

Damn that overpowered boss! Pretty intense episode and I really do wonder what will happen with everyone!

So Sanosuke, despite his initial strength, got degraded to a sidekick that couldn't even land a single punch on Shishio.

And then the whole "I saw your attack once, now I can block it with two fingers" thing. Talk about making a villain way too overpowered. Oh, and let us not forget that he survived being shot by several men and burned afterwards.

What I am disappointed in this episode is that every other characters who fought shishio were lost so easily. I guess this is to show how op this villian is and then when Kenshin wake up and fight shishio, then it will show us how super op hero is.

I was hoping to see more out of Saito than what we got. It would be nice to see more fighting and less talking, but I'm gonna assume they didn't have the resources for it. I hope its not the burn wounds that end up deciding the fight.

They were avoiding a filler saga, but in the end it didn't really matter

I dislike the fact Shishio is stronger than Sano in strength. But he is the ultimate enemy no doubt.

I dislike the fact Shishio is stronger than Sano instead of simply more skilled; the writer trying to make him much a strong antagonist without putting much work into it. But he is the ultimate enemy no doubt.
