VerifiedNow THAT’S how you end a season🔥 I gotta say this was such a good way to wrap the whole season up. This episode really had my jaw dropped on the floor. Seriously, the action was even better than the previous episode, and the plot was crazy!! Such a thrilling episode! And I lovee Asirpa and Sugimoto’s little chemistry at the end there. Love the twist and turns to the story and can’t wait for the next season✨

VerifiedWell don't ask me about the techniques I won't have anything to say... but the fighting scene was enjoyable i guess? Not a big fighting guy myself but I'm here for the plot!

VerifiedMusashi’s presence is straight haunting, but him aura-farming alone just can't save this episode. My expectations may have skyrocketed since the last.

VerifiedThis episode dives into the "Philosophy of the Blade." Very dialogue-heavy, explaining why Musashi views the world as a series of openings and kills rather than points and rounds. Skip if you want to jump right into action.

VerifiedOkay, this episode redeemed itself from the disaster it was last time. It's still not as good as I had wished but the atmosphere and tones gave it some depth. Maybe, just maybe, the next episode will actually be good.

VerifiedBy the time Retsu had bled out, I was really confused because of how fast paced everything was. One minute, Musashi was gonna die, the other, Retsu. It was confusing and diminished the impact of the last part of the episode.

VerifiedI honestly hadn't expected that much blood and gore; but it didn't feel as impactful because of how the episode was paced for me.
mustardsprinkles
VerifiedThe battle was immersive up till the point Retsu started using impossibly flexible poses to dodge Musashi's attacks; it just threw me off and came across as funny rather than an intense battle.
reirei
VerifiedA great episode that really shifted the direction of the story. It brought out a mix of emotions, and that ending in particular was incredibly powerful and emotional.
sandaime
VerifiedWow—this episode was brutal. I expected it to be graphic because of the series’ reputation, but it still caught me off guard. The ending was emotional, though it still felt like it lacked something to create a deeper connection with the audience.
katana
VerifiedThis was a good episode with intense fight scenes. It delivered a climactic moment that felt like a major turning point in the story. However, I feel like they could’ve done more with the ending.
marin_coser
VerifiedI liked parts of it, but it didn’t completely wow me. It’s improving compared to earlier episodes, though some scenes still feel repetitive. A steady but slow climb.
nekokurarisu
VerifiedWeak episode waaa. Standoffs are mostly buildup and tension didn't peak.. Fun only if you enjoy random absurdity 🤣
crybabytodoroki
VerifiedUnderwhelms 😬. The fights are brief and the comedy is fire but it undercuts serious moments sadly. Doesn’t feel cohesive and more style than substance. Was expecting a bit more due to the previous episode
uncultured_bovine
VerifiedThe way the characters reacted after the fight ended reminded me of another anime, and now I can't help but compare them as they had similar themes. They could have done so much more with that moment, but it felt lacking.
b4kasamaaaaa
VerifiedEven if they try to show off different fighting style, I think it could have been executed better. It looks like all that shouting, movement exaggerations, audience reactions and bloodshed overpower that unfortunately, as those things are basically this anime's selling point.
hellozaworldo
VerifiedBoth the art and animations are very distinct and striking (pun intended). The turn of events show you that anything can happen in a single match, giving variety to the story-writing. My only complaint is I think the fight dragged on longer than it should

A powerful and brutal finale, where emotional tension peaks and every moment feels impactful.
soryu
YEAH WELL, it was nice and enjoyable! I think this episode didn't really have much of a great point beside telling us where to go next. Actually I was really confused about the political touch and who is in the right side. Everything shifted so fast I need to grip and think. Lit!
