As much as this episode is hard to watch, I think Rikuo and the others really needed what happened in this episode to happen, almost like a reality check of sort. I really like how the author gave it as is, with the stake high enough that Rikuo is panicked. But that surprise from Nurarihyon was something I didn't see coming. I really like seeing two generation clashes, as it usually feels like a passing of a baton of sort. Other than that, I was a bit suspicious after what Keikain clan had said this episode, especially during that tense scene. It was understandable, but highlight that at the end of the day, everyone has their own agenda, in a sense. I can't wait for more growth from Rikuo!
Picking up directly from the previous episode's cliffhanger, this episode delivers a gripping, high stakes approach featuring an intensely thrilling fight that gives you goosebumps. Additionally, the overall narrative groundwork still feels a bit far from the highly anticipated main battle. And to be honest, the aftermath transition from such intense fight scenes to heavy dialogue really cuts the thrilling vibe short.
