VerifiedIn this episode, the intense action battle between the modern fighter and the legendary is really worth following for the whole series; it's another thrilling fight.
kento
VerifiedThe framing is outstanding, and the crisp clear shots create more tension throughout the entire episode. It keeps you on the edge of your seat at the same pace.
belva
VerifiedThat guy is just like me… Everywhere I go anything I see deep in my mind I just want to write (yaoi)

VerifiedWHAT IS MOTOBE DOING OH MY GOD

VerifiedCould've been actual peak if only more thrill was added to spice things up, but seeing Motobe's motives be more realized is actually satisfying, same with watching the two beasts talk about tactics over drinks.

VerifiedThis deals with the reality of loss and the sheer "otherness" of Musashi, reflecting on his legacy even after centuries. Seeing the two get along and discuss tactics is actually refreshing.

VerifiedThe final showdown is really getting me all tense and jittery, was actually anxious throughout the whole episode. Noticed for some of the frames are more crisp than usual, highlighting the scene. And the framing is so effective in their storytelling, too.
b4kasamaaaaa
VerifiedThis episode couldn't have been any better, it was well-executed and well-paced. And once again, my opinion on Motobe changes as this episode justified his motivations better than the previous ones. Animation is top-tier as always
mustardsprinkles
VerifiedThe talk Yujiro and Musashi had towards the end of the episode had great contrast with the first part of the episode. It helped ground and balance the episode a little better.

VerifiedI'm honestly not sure how Motobe comes into play or where he even came from to interfere with the battle, but at this point i guess it's good the battle ended prematurely.

VerifiedWhat an incredible display of strength between two of the strongest characters in the series! The intensity and pace never slowed down throughout the fight.
hellozaworldo
VerifiedWatching two beasts face off in this episode is worth all that waiting. And the flashback didn't feel random as it helps build anticipation of what's to come. The details in the animation were as smooth as they can be
uncultured_bovine
VerifiedAlright, this is much better than the previous one. Dialogue and pacing showed improvement, although the narration during the fight distracts me. Hopefully the last episode delivers as it feels like there's still a lot to cover.
reirei
VerifiedHonestly, this felt like a peak episode. I just wish it had been even more thrilling. Some of their expressions were a bit silly—I didn’t know whether to laugh or take the fight seriously. Still, the ending part was good.
sandaime
VerifiedThis was truly the Battle of the Beasts—the strongest of the strong clashing in an epic showdown. It was straight-up peak and absolutely insane. Great episode.
katana
VerifiedThe animation was chef’s kiss! This was such an exciting episode, and it still doesn’t give us any clue about the outcome of the fight because they’re just too strong. I’m still wondering what Izo is going to do.
nekokurarisu
VerifiedEntertaining enough! The fights are epic and keep you invested, but random comedy 🤣 sometimes interrupts the tension but still fun. The animation makes me laugh out of nowhere
kotomi
This episode is a heavy hitter that manages to balance action with some surprisingly grounded character moments. The scene where the two beasts discussed tactics over drinks is so satisfying.
marin_coser
Mid-tier episode. Fights are strong, but pacing feels off. The comedy hits randomly, and tension drops in moments. Not bad and an overall good episode if you're into comedic action
crybabytodoroki
Loved how this episode balances insane power with light humor. The main duel is intense, yet the small comedic beats with unexpected expressions, over the top reaction? They land perfectly. Keeps you entertained and on edge at the same time lol
EPISODE CONTEXT
