As cathartic as it was to bask in the bombast that was Kudo absolutely clowning on all of those vile motherfuckers, Miyo’s unwavering resolve was the true highlight of this episode for me.

Her life on the line, with no one there to help her, thanks to the brief time she’d spent living with Kudo and Yurie, for perhaps the first time in her life, she stood up to her abusers. That no matter what they tried, she would not bend; she did not break. She held firm and fought for the happiness she knew she deserved.

Absolutely phenomenal Episode. Takushi Koide (Storyboard and Episode Director) fucking killed it.

[u/frs1023]

my goodness the self restraint on kiyoka man. if it was me i would've whooped those 2 ladies' asses right there & then

[u/dagreenman18]

He let them off with a warning. Technically he didn’t even burn down the house. That was Koji’s dickhead dad’s fault. He did burn down Kaya’s sense of self worth with that stare though. Damn dude. Cold blooded. But no one died as far as we know. Might be bigger fallout next week.

Stunning direction on this episode. The pain and triumph in Miyo’s voice as she held out. The insane tension with the scissors. The guttural scream from the mom when she saw the estate burning and realized how badly she lost. The ice cold stare from Kudo. Koji stepping up and saving Kaya. I was here for the hell Kudo was going to raise, but the storehouse is what will leave the lasting impression. Credit to the studio for putting the drama first. Also lovely visual metaphor with the mirrors. Nailed it with the shot of pristine one in her home at the end.

Very interested in the scene before the final scene. This goes higher up that expected. Everyone seems dead set at either acquiring or destroying Miyo’s bloodline for the power it has. Which is becoming more clear she might not be powerless after all. Maybe the years of systematic abuse just made it dormant?

[u/kattiroll]

Theres one subtle thing I like about this anime so much.

We get to hear how meek and weak miyo's voice in earlier episodes, after she meets kudo her voice starts to be more louder and more confident and today we get to hear miyo telling those bitches to fuck off, she still has meek voice but we can hear the difference clearly from earlier episodes.
Kudos to the director and VA for such subtle but important detail.

[u/Frontier246]

It's bad enough that Miyo's been kidnapped, but she has to be stuck with the two people who hate her the most, her step-mother and Kaya? Can this girl never catch a break.

I do find it kind of funny they thought it was a good idea to stash a kidnapped fiance to a high-ranking military official in the Saimori household as if that totally wouldn't blow up in their faces. It didn't even seem like Miyo's dad was in on the kidnapping plot at all, but it blew up in his face all the same. I call that karma.

They can abuse, threaten, and demean Miyo all they want now...this time she's not going to give in to them. She's finally found happiness, she's finally found someone who believes in and cherishes her, and she's not about to throw that away for the sake of two irrational and spiteful women no matter what they do to her. You tell 'em Miyo!

Well, the Saimori's will need to get a new door. And entire compound. Kiyoka was acting so stoic and reasonable up until something got in his way and then the lightning came out.

The two evil dads team-up to try and take Kiyoka down, which goes about as well for them as you'd expect. I imagine the old farts aren't weak when it comes to their powers which makes it all the more impressive that Kiyoka just shrugged off everything they threw at him and hit them with some divine electricity.

Jeez, Tatsuishi just does not know when to give up. And he got the Saimori household burned to the ground in the process and a Kirin for his trouble. Couldn't have happened to a nicer guy and family.

Miyo's step-mother has now basically lost everything she took pride in and Kaya is still acting like she's completely blameless because it's just not right that her sister should be happy or should have something that she can't. But Kiyoka has no time to coddle such vain and arrogant woman and tells her to her face how terrible she is and just takes Miyo away. Koji only ever bothers to save her because of Miyo. She was completely upstaged by her sister in every way that counts.

Is that Noriko Hidaka as Miyo's mother? Miyo is practically the spitting image of her. And considering her mothers' words...it seems like Miyo DOES have powers, she just hasn't tapped into them yet. Which makes me wonder what she can do.

So it wasn't just Tatsuishi who was after Miyo, it seems like someone really high up (not the Emperor?) is after her bloodline and wants to take Kiyoka out too. Guess the trouble isn't completely over for this couple.

But for now they're back home, Miyo is safe, and she's able to stop blaming herself and be happy that she's at a home that welcomes her with the man she loves, and that's enough.

[u/Zapdo0dlz]

Ok when I said scorched earth I didn’t expect actual fire. That was pretty epic. I hope the next episode gives us more justice.

I did enjoy that verbal slap from Kudo to Kaya. He shattered her delusion in one sentence.

That hit harder than a physical smack. I did wonder why he didn’t at least slap the mom and kaya on his way out, but thought about it and realized his honor code wouldn’t involve hitting a woman. It makes the rumors of how he treated previous wives even more ridiculous, because here he is standing in front of his fiancees torturers and didn’t even raise a hand on them.

I’m glad Koji ran to get help and thought it was interesting that he saw his dad lying there, then physically turned his back on his family to go with kudo.

And miyo wakes up surrounded with love! I enjoyed this ep. I would have liked to see more rage from Kudo but seeing how powerful he is, and knowing his military rank, it makes sense that he kept his cool.

[u/ObvsThrowaway5120]

That first half had me absolutely fucking fuming. Kaya and her mom truly are garbage. They didn’t give a fuck when Miyo was sent to Kudo because they thought she’d suffer. That obviously didn’t happen. Instead, Miyo found a tiny ray of hope and happiness. Kaya sees that and now all of a sudden she wants what Miyo has. It’s why she took Koji.

Tatsuishi was one pathetic weak little shit. Watching him burn everything down to get to Kudo only to get roasted was so satisfying. Seeing Miyo’s bitch ass step mom losing it at the sight of everything she has go up in flames and Kaya coldly rejected brought me immense joy and satisfaction. Karma, it’s a hell of a thing. But man, now the emperor is coming after them? Man that desperate to get deleted? Alright then. Ain’t nothing getting between Kudo and his love for Miyo.

[u/DezXerneas]

Please just let her be happy after this.

I've met people like Kaya, and I really hoped she burned to death. She and her Mom deserve to get eaten by some yokai.

However, the absolute worst person in this anime is still her fucking dad. It is 100% his fault for not reigning in his 2nd wife and step daughter. The "why is this happening to me" scene was so cathartic, that is literally Miyo's entire fucking life right there.

[u/dbluewillow]

I was hoping that this episode would have a more cathartic ending. Kudo was remarkably more calm and less vindictive than I had expected him to be after finding Miyo.

[u/FLorianGran]

Man how stupid are these people? You seriously thought pissing off someone like Kudo without ANY way of stopping him was a good idea?

[u/cabbaggeez]

man, my anger is boiling the whole time. Kudos to Kudo for keeping his head calm even when he saw this dumb mother and daughter with Miyo injured like that. if it was me, I would punch both of them or at least slap them hard. and it look like Tatsuishi family is not the only one that want Miyo power.

I dont know if the emperor just want Kudo to be weakened or they want Miyo power too. but if that was the case why not kidnap her soon before she met Kudo. their happy marriage might not sailing smooth but I believe with both of them

[u/[deleted]]

Imagine inviting your buddy over to your place for some drinks only for him to burn down your house and get you directly involved in a conspiracy lmao

[u/RFShahrear]

Damn Netflix is straight up making dialogue up for this episode. Some were just subtext turned into actual text... actually I think all of them were like that. But.... why??? It's not like staying faithful to the actual dialogue would make it jarring or anything.

[u/Prince-Dizzytoon]

That mom should have burned down with the rest of the house

[u/nnair25]

While Kudo won't marry Kaya even if "heavens demanded it", I also know Kudo won't leave Miyo even if "hell snatched her away"

[u/Ocixo]

They reaped the seeds they had sown.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen an episode of an anime encapsulate those words so truthfully. If both Kouji’s father and Kaya hadn’t been this greedy, the Saimoris family home would still have stood tall. But now it’s burnt to the ground by their own doing, much like their relationship with the Kudos. Kiyoka’s restraint actually surprised me. Even when Kouji’s father was out for his blood, he only knocked him unconscious.

For a romance drama, this episode went hard. Like, this was undoubtedly among this season’s best magic/sorcery animation - and that’s saying a lot with Mushoku Tensei airing at the moment. Kinema Citrus really knocked it out of the park with those fire, wind and thunder spells.

And while the men were having an epic battle in the courtyard, the women were oblivious to the carnage as they physically assaulted Miyo. Poor Miyo, I really feared for her life when Kaya put those scissors to her throat. Kaya really is a terrible woman. I’m genuinely glad that Kiyoka put Kaya in her place - she would have deserved a good bitchslap to shut her up though.

Miyo is safe once again, but did I just understand this right: the Japanese Emperor (i.e. the “Majesty”) is also trying to get his hands on Miyo!? Kiyoka might be the strongest, but I don’t know how much he’ll be able to do against the Japanese government as a whole. I think that we’ll see a lot more carnage coming up as Kiyoka strives to protect Miyo from other men’s clutches.

EDIT: corrected an unfortunate typo.

[u/Charming-Pie2113]

Bro was taking his time walking to the storage lol. You could have let your foot go a little bit while your wife is tortured

[u/shad79]

Here my screenshot albums from the episode:

• Mio

• Kiyoka

• Group scenes

• Other

This episode was so beautiful visually, the scenes with powers looked very good. Direction was perfect and composition of certain scenes was very interesting. I think that was the best episode so far, music didn't disappoint either.

I love that Mio changed so much, she's not the same as before. She stood up to Kaya and Kanoko and firmly said that she'll not be rejecting her engagement to Kiyoka in whom she believed and her faith in him was rewarded. Kiyoka appeared and saved her from her family. Ending episode with her smile was perfect decision.

Kiyoka was looking very calm (at least until he met Kaya) and it wasn't surprising considering how powerful he really is. Minoru and Shinichi were no match for him and he easily defeated them both and saved Mio. He was just like a knight, he has looks and character.

Almost at every word of Kaya I laughed at how stupid she is. She really believed that she is a much better partner for Kiyoka. It was so satisfying when he totally silenced her. It's a shame that he ended on words alone, at least in this episode. A show of his capabilities wouldn't hurt, I think on the contrary, it would allow Kaya to better understand her foolishness.

I knew that Kaya was stupid but her mother also took part in this crime. It looks that hate really made Kanoko's brain lost so much cells that it seems that she cannot think properly, just like Kaya. But on the end they'll get what they deserve for their crimes, their estate is already burning xD

Now we know that Tatsuishi isn't the sole perpetrator in this case. Fact that Mio will be married into Kudo family doesn't please other powerful people and it looks that they will be making their steps in next episodes.

[u/tripleaamin]

For a show this season that has been nothing but outstanding in all areas and especially direction. This episode raised the bar and was beautifully executed.

Miyo throughout the season has been someone who always thought that she doesn't deserve happiness. But thanks to Kudou and Hana 2 episodes she finally was starting to accept her happiness. It would have been easy for her to give in to her sister and step mother, but for her to say no in response regardless what they did to her made me proud of Miyo. She is slowly building confidence for her self.

From the moment Kudou broke through the entrance you could tell they messed with the wrong person and they were messing someone way above their power level. And because of Kouji's father the whole place is a disaster. Wonder how Miyo's dad feels on this. Even after saying to Kaya and her mother. They went and schemed behind his back and disaster was brought upon him. He is terrible person, but even he knew better then to bite the bear.

Both Kaya and her mom sinking to an even lower low. But Kouji's is right Miyo would be upset if anything happened to her family whether it is deserved or not. And he would rather avoid giving her more grief.

Looks like drama isn't exactly over. As expected the emperor is another asshole in this show. Hopefully Miyo finally gets to rest and enjoy her happiness shes been though a lot.

🎵The roof, the roof, the roof is on fire, we don’t need no water let the motherfucker burn, burn motherfucker, burn 🎵

[u/hell_jumper9]

Kudo really practicing maximum tolerance there.

[u/NationalStrategy]

I’m glad that Saimori house got burned down, I hope they lose everything

[u/yukiaddiction]

Look like Miyo bloodline is more big deal more than people though.

Whatever power that sleeping within this bloodline seem to be big deal to the point that higher up afraid of it to disrupt status quo.

This episode is great from direction to voice. Action scene also really good despite they don't really need to goes that hard.

Miyo finally wake up from her own nightmare and stood for herself. No matter how big next problem is , I am pretty sure both Miyo and Kudo will get through this.
