The 2nd Cour with the new OST set of Umeda Cypher's OP and osage's ED, I pretty much preferred the 1st Cour's any day.

Nio was lucky that he got unconscious at the end of Kikuchiyo's affair to recuperate in Nijo Castle, and to be greeted by a servant shadow of Kagemaru thanking him for the Shogun's safety and acting all crude, he's going to be a recurring figure from now on. The sight of River Sanzu almost crossing Nio over to the land of the dead, and as a wish for keeping the Shogun safe, Nio has always wanted to ride a horse, which Kikuchiyo allows him to, and both guys are like best friends made from conflict, hardened by circumstances that make them stronger.

The Miburo coming to fetch Nio, and this is the end of their adventures...for now. Nio racing back to the Miburo...to find Serizawa and the rest all stripped down to hear of his stories, including the Blood Risshidan with their lofty goal. But more important than that, it's the coat of arms for the Miburo, though that requires everyone to earn a living for uniformity.

The same dream to protect Kyoto, that's the Miburo's only goal.

The new OP and ED is nice but the first ones are so much better. It was nice seeing Nio and the Shogun bond and it was sweet seeing Nio getting so excited to ride a horse.

I'm sure that manju Serizawa gave Nio post sumo was a bit salty....

This episode was more interesting than others till now.

Nio is such a good boy, Kikuchiyo-san really sees potential in him and it would be great if he joined him in the castle.

I guess I'm in the minority of liking the new OP and ED better. So now we begin an arc of earning the new uniforms.

Kagemaru is the best body double they could find for the Shogun ww

Nio hears people chanting the "expell barbarians" part of the famous rallying cry and sees river sanzu from the Japanese Buddhist afterlife in his dreams.

Nio came up with the idea of the zig zag patterned haori as their uniforms Serizawa wants the Kanji in his name to be on the back of their uniforms, wwww

Nio has become fast friends with the Kikuchiyo and he looked so happy and carefree while riding the horse for the first time.

It shouldn't have came to ma a surprise but it did that Kikuchiyo's actually married.

It's time for Miburo's to looks stylish and cool now, but getting that much money won't be an easy work. I hope they'll be able to manage it all by the end of the next episode.
