THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
Sometimes this series definitely lack for grimdark. A bosomed book or another shield-imitator was predictable.

Next ep. Yutaro returns to Japan and I hope things will move faster.

Well, atleast it wasn't bible. That would have been too boring.

This was a good little story arc. Better than most of the mini arcs from the first 1/3 of the series, IMO; at least the villains weren't generic true evil bad guys like Raijuta or the rest. I knew from the beginning Tetsuma would end up being the true "villain," though. I feel bad for the leader of the Beni Aoi, though; he wasn't a bad dude, just unfortunately mislead.

Side note: I can't fathom why Sano hasn't used the Futae no Kiwami in any of his fights since the Kyoto arc.

Pretty decent ending of this "arc", whilst it was quite a boring and slow arc, it was still pretty enjoyable! Let's see what's next.

Yep. I feel like these later arcs have been better than the beginning. I'm not sure why people dislike the post-Kyoto stuff so much. I think it might be what's coming up, this stuff with Black Knights and Feng Shui sorcerers. I don't know though.

The book saving Daigoro was pretty cheesy. Like, it kind of makes sense, but it was a total tonal shift from the end of the last episode. Tetsuma being the bad guy was kind of obvious. I really thought Kaishu Katsu would die or something at the end here. Pretty good overall if a bit typical and maybe a bit too many symbolist scenes of moths (even if they were kind of cool actually).

Decent arc, everything was predictable though.

Katsu is my favourite non-source character from this show.

I was expecting more from the final fight.
