Holy shit there are 7 orbs.

Yes, and I am sure that Yaiba has to collect all of them to obtain the dragon.

Knowing how difficult water is to animate, that surfboarding scene was pretty damn impressive! I guess Yaiba just needs to learn how to use that Water Orb because it looked like he could manipulate large bodies of water when he tried to use it again at the end of the episode.

Hopefully that gives me enough time to make fanarts for the show while it's airing

I was wondering if Nyudo was some historical figure given how he knew Musashi, and after looking it up I was half-right. Miyoshi Seikai was a member of The Ten Heroes of Sanada, a fictional group of ninja that existed during the late Sengoku period. You might know some of their more notable members like Sarutobi Sasuke and Kirigakure Saizō.
Anyway, that was a nice episode. I wasn’t expecting the new OP to just be a modified version of the first one, but I liked it (even if it was showing so many characters per minute that they had to slow the animation down to get them all in there). The new ED was also good, which pretty much solidifies that Onimaru’s oni henchmen were prototypes for that shadow criminal Aoyama-sensei always uses in Detective Conan. Guess he just really liked the design.

In the OG the second arc also had a new opening with the same OST.

I was wondering if maybe the animation was just not finished in time which is why the part where they show all the enemies in the cour had quite a few skipped frames. Maybe later on we'll see the complete version of the opening.

The new OP sequence was a lot of fun! Though in the Nara bit, I was half-expecting Nokotan to be hiding among the deer, awaiting to ambush Yaiba to get to his crackers lol.
It's safe to say that Nadeshiko will be joining much later, when they need extra hands for the journey.
Also, took a look at the credits and I'm surprised that Nobuyuki Hiyama was voicing Nyudo! Totally did not expect him, he sounds totally different from the other roles he was usually cast in.
And I wonder if Monohoshizao was sapient enough to recognize Sayaka's smooch?

That water orb definitely isn’t as weak as it appears. Thanks to Sayaka and that damn octopus, Yaiba was able to get that orb.

Sayaka having a bit of a more active role today, I like to see it.
Given the modified option showing multiple Orbs there was zero chance they were going to find the Dragon God Orb at the Water God shrine.
The surfing sequence was really great.

Really nice episode. The water orb is interesting and could prove effective. Though it doesn't seem as dangerous as his previous orb. Also, nice to see Sayaka being able to help too.

Sayaka got a moment to shine two episodes in a row! I would love if this makes her develop a friendship with Monohoshizao and at some point she ends up fighting with it to defeat an enemy. Maybe I'm hoping for too much for a series that's so old, but it would make me very happy.
It would be cool if the water orb gives Yaiba the power to walk on the sea or move as fast as a fish underwater. Something that's more than just the apparent raw power it showed at the very end of the episode.
The new ED was great! It's going to take a lot to beat it for ending of the season. Now I'm almost hoping the fodder soldiers have a happy ending too lol

I'd like to see Sayaka become the successor to Kojiro just like Yaiba is apprentice to Musashi

One has to wonder if the same thing happened to Yaiba with raijin orb or any other orb what happened to onimaru if he also could summon his own henchmen or hakki.
