To be honest, I never expected an outright flashback, continuing the previous episode, as I thought we'll get bits and pieces here and there. But this episode, we get a flashback on why the Nura clan reacted the way they did when hearing Hagoromo Gitsune's name. This is a laid back-ish episode, mostly concerned about the political climate at the time and explaining why things happened they way they did. I'm quite surprise at Nurarihyon's past, but enjoyed his seemingly mischievous antics lol, which kind of bleeds into his older life too. I do wonder what will happen now, since I think we'll continue this flashback to the next episode as well.
