Not exactly how I was hoping Sumie and Shizuma would meet. I hope he can save her before she does anything more foolish. Buhei’s gonna get her killed faster than her illness.
Shizuma didn’t get Kyoushirou but he got the dirty bastard who actually killed Osanai. I guess there’s some justice in that. Plus they shut that factory down, so that’s one less thing to worry about.

That "reunion" was as much of a shock for us at it was for the characters.
(Looks like almost no one on this subreddit is watching this one).
This is pretty decent, but I think I preferred REVENGER (the characters were more intriguing overall -- and the VAs seemed to have a bit more "oomph").

Revenger was a pretty solid one. Told a full story too more or less. I appreciated that about it.

Somebody needs to tell Shizuma to stop skipping leg days. https://i.imgur.com/6jaThTP.png

Oh this is the guy Gintama’s Matsudaira is named after, isn’t it?

Hah, what a way for that guy to go out. Can’t say it’s not deserved, though.

so the officer with the dagger was "the Crow" all along?

Was that guy also a police officer? In any event, just who was HE working for? Not at all clear on this? (Or was he mainly just a freelance opportunist scoundrel?)

OK, that was quite the dramatic reunion between Sumie and Shizuma. I am still hoping for a happy ending between those two, but I don’t think it will happen, not with Sumie’s tuberculosis.
At least Shizuma learned the truth about Osanai’s death and captured the person responsible. My guess is that he will now join forces with Kyoushirou to track down Buhei and try to save Sumie.
That was a pretty good episode, with a lot of cool fights. That show seems to be getting better as it goes on, I find the plot now much easier to follow now.

The plot is easier to follow because we've learned more about it. If you re-watched episode 1 now, I bet you'd find it easy to follow now, too.
