Another really fun episode as we're once again introduced to another character. I assume we'll continue to see new characters, since we'll be having 7 samurai, as the quest and title suggested. I really like how unique each of the samurai has been, from Kikuchiyo brashness to Kanbei's calculating swing, and now we have someone who thinks outside the box. And once again I have to praise the fight scene, because seeing it so fluid, then remembering this anime is from 2004 will always blew my mind. And to add spice, we also get a mystery hook at the end of the episode, which certainly intrigued me as a watcher.
Now with that dead guy, not sure what impact would have on the story. Poor Kikuchiyo, he just wants to be noticed :c lol
Amazing tension in every scene. I love the symbolism and comparison of two variables. i love the intellectual save of the gang. This is really great ep, it shows how this people work, save, and can be a companion for each other. The animation is impressive as always, very detail and sophisticated.
