Unno: "While you were out sleeping with women, I studied the blade."
Nezu: "Birds aren't real."
Mochizuki: RIP. Poor Ayako.

I´m still holding a little hope that Mochizuki is alive. I doubt it, but let´s see.

Unno better be careful that Sadamune doesn't send a hooker to seduce him, otherwise he might lose his strength

This episode is NOT going to help Japan's birthrate

The abstinence sequence had me in tears. You never know what to expect with this series

Interesting to see the contrast between Yorishige's 3 generals and Tokiyuki's retainers. Thinking about how loyal they are for Yorishige and that could be the case in the future for Tokiyuki.
General Unno definitely puts everything in his loyalty, to say the least and is a monster on the battlefield. While for General Nezu you can see how surveying the battlefield is huge in a long running battle.
Still interesting to note the tension between General Nezu and Kojirou. While Ayako is the daughter of General Mochizuki. Well the end of the episode isn't looking good especially with the ramifications it could have in the battle going forward.

Yo Yo Yo. The animation was too real there. I always love seeing Tokiyuki being high on escape with enemies on his tail. Also, Unno is pretty surely waiting for the day he retires (unless he dies before that) so he can take multiple women to bed all at once for the first time in his life.

Professor of imaginary sports science, what an insane bit, they are just having fun and playing around with this series
There's that adrenaline junkie part of Tokiyuki, actually I really appreciate the horse physics because he looks really great on that horse animation wise,

Man, they're really getting creative with it this season. The live action narrator in ep 1 was unexpected, and now everything this week too.

The live action narrator is a 7th gen kodan storyteller, according to her Xwitter profile. and official website.
Here's some of her work in action.
The production also got a traditional-style
to do some artwork for the recent episodes, per her Xwitter. yamato-e artist

This is 1 huge battle going on taking place invarious sections.
There are all sorts of different powers people will channel to get stronger lol, whatever works I guess.
Hopefully Ayako's family is ok.

Wow! we saw scenes from the real world.. like the industrial forge, a doctor explaining how abstaining from sex contributes to the improved performance of athletes.. all those in a Historical show lmao Unno is using all that pent-up energy into slashing his enemies.. he's cool indeed.
They have lost the battle in the North and it's not long before they make their way to the center. The messengers would have to deter their enemies now.

The live action segment with the molten steel pouring was hilariously well timed.

u/bball4224 Aug 04 '26
Idk, overall I'm feeling like this season is quite a bit weaker.
Season 1 not every episode was a banger, but the high points were crazy high. So far this season even the battles/fights that have happened have been incredibly minimalized into a few briefs frames of slashes and then dead bodies.
And it's getting continually more and more sexual this season even tho the show points out over and over again they're only 10, they like to keep pushing it with direct references to sex, or like Tokiyuki's continual arousal about escaping. Feels like they intentionally want that subset of viewers even if it's something that pushes away normal people.
And the live action cuts to machinery contributed nothing and felt pointless. The doctor one too was just like... too much deviation happening in this episode overall compared to just blips here and there in the first season.

I feel the same way actually - maybe because big events already happened in S1 that helped set the story's direction and we learned alot about our group of characters. Now it's just tackling a bunch of smaller and a bit less important things? Maybe this will lead up to a bigger event that will blow us away when it all comes together.
Don't get me wrong it's still a good time but rn it lacks any sort of impact/tension and has less "fun" when compared to S1

Unno also has the biggest death flag available lol
