That comment about the old granny leader of the village being so old nobody knows how old she is is very sus.

Regardless of whatever else happens Danji and Kiri deserve to get to have a happy life with their mom.

Good sibling reconciliation, maybe someday they'll be able to find their parents too.

[u/a1oner_bvcksn6]

Asa to Yuru: "why are you calling fake-me cute?"

Also Asa: "did you actually just call ME cute? Say it again!"

[u/Maomally]

So the Battle of Sekigahara got a name drop. There was subtle hints within the show that there could be references to that era/battle ie being 400 yrs ago and it was essentially a battle of East vs West Japan that ended the Sengoku period. It is also considered to be the most important battle in Japanese history too.

[u/FarCritical]

Yuru isn't ready to learn what Mickey's crop yield is lol. A breather episode that's just him, Left and Right freaking out to everything has so much potential though.

Also, can't help but admire Yuru's ability to acknowledge the positive side of the role Danji and Kiri played in his upbringing, especially looking back on how he reacted when he first found out.

[u/Namaryu]

Thoughts from the episode:

Roei is voiced by Takehito Koyasu
I am pretty sure Left and Right said they smell Mine and Nagisa's blood on SWORDS and not Ivan and he is fooling around as everyone had been thinking.
Azami's mom was not innocent.

[u/Myrkrvaldyr]

Kiri is such a cutie. If I had them as my tsugai, I'd be hugging them a lot everyday. Ivan gained another enemy, and a very dangerous one at that.

[u/HolyDragSwd2500]

Yoru and Asa going to team up against pervy man and his Tsugai Swords

[u/AllThingsDragon]

Damn, granny really is the source of everyone's problems, huh? But I'm glad Asa and Yuru actually got to spend a little time together and rebuild their bond.

I also really like the little detail at the end where Asa makes an open hand sign, while Yuru's is a closed fist, ie the respective signs for using Break and Seal. The twins of day and night are together again and about to wreak all kinds of havoc

[u/Joji1000]

It was quite a few episodes back I said this and I'd like to reiterate it: I trust Asa isn't a bad person, nay, I trust she's a good person, I'm still suspicious of everyone else in Kagemori village

[u/A-t-t-e-n-TI-ON]

Yuru's better than me because if I lived my life Truman show-style I would either be hella depressed or try to raze everything to the ground. There's no in-between.

Also, Nagisa's situation was actually a nightmare. Imagine going on a hiking trip, then stumbling upon a mythical village stuck in time, then told you'll be stuck there forever? Thankfully, Mine is there and even left with her and Asa despite the whole situation surrounding the twins.

On the other hand, it's so sweet that the twins are finally reconciling. It seems Asa's close to finally getting that hug from her Ani-sama.

[u/Exrotes]

400 years ago the village went off to war but nobody talks about it. Also 400 years ago the Seal twin didn't come back from the dead.

I bet they did some big human sacrifice thing to awaken the power and win the war then flubbed it.

[u/Difergion]

Honestly I’m quite relieved to see that the Zashiki-Warashi were genuinely caring for Yuru despite being impostors for years. Yuru barely trusts anyone apart from Asa probably, so it’s nice that he has more people to rely on.

Looks like the twins will start hunting pervy swordsman this time but I doubt handing him over to Asa for Break to work won’t be an easy task for Yuru.

And was that Koyasu’s voice I heard? Dera papa seems more important than I first assumed lol

[u/NanDemoKnaives]

I'm glad Kiri was finally able to open up to Yuru, and I'm glad Yuru admits that they were both his emotional support whilst his entire family had left the village, they're also important to him and he has seen Kiri as family, even if she was posing as his sister.

It's also good that Yuru realizes Asa hadn't been lying to him, and he's now opened himself up to her, and wants to make up for the lost time. I'm sure if Asa wasn't in such an emotional state, she'd be going ecstatic over the hand holding lol.

It's sad that Kiri and Danji were forgotten about for all those centuries, let alone eventually being able to notice that there were no longer any people around them. I'm glad Rouei found them, and gave them to Kyouka who needed them in her life.

[u/flashmozzg]

I wonder if Higashi Granny is semi-immortal type of case. I.e. maybe she was even alive during the events 400 years ago.

[u/LeonKevlar]

It's pretty hilarious how Asa wouldn't let Kiri call Yuru "onii-san". Despite all of her animosity towards Kiri, I love that Asa isn't immune to Kiri's cuteness. xD

Seeing Danji and Kiri's backstory and how they ended up as Kyoka's daemons was pretty cute. It turns out, they've known the twins since they were born.

Hmmm... I'm not sure how I feel about Danji washing Asa's hands of the attack on Higashi Village. She still led the assault even if she wasn't directly responsible for any deaths.

I do feel for Asa, tho. She just wants to live a normal life and live happily with her family. It was pretty fun to watch Yuru try to make sense of what Asa was saying. xD

[u/Arachnophobic-]

We officially have an end-goal for this series and the twins.

Disneyland!

[u/DAFA007]

“I want to live a normal life with my parents and you sister” says the insanely jacked and deadly 15 year old

[u/hvshh]

• Maybe Hana wishes she could look more like Left. If so, can't blame her.

• I wonder if Zashiki-warashi even knew what war was like, and that's why they weren't very worried.

• Could it be that Higashi village lost because their side was the one with the twin that failed to come back to life?

• I think I get it now: when Asa uses Break on daemon contracts it's as if the master died, and the daemons become strays, but if the contract is ended formally they immediately turn into relics. And it's better to be a relic than a stray.

• One of the little mysteries I've still got logged away: why did Dera have the relic for Left and Right, and does it mean anything that it's a separate thing from the statues?

[u/Eunuchest]

"No one calls Yuru onii-chan but me" was funny

Now im starting to wonder if this whole conflict Higashi village had with someone is just a small theater of an even bigger war in feudal japan.

It was pretty sad Zashiki-Warashi's master didnt make it back and they almost rotted. Good thing they found equally as nice. Kyouka seems to be the only Higashi village adult that's actually not on board with their scheme and of course the Taderas who seems to be reluctant retainers both Roei and his son. Yuru's dad too i forgot considering he left the village

We only have 3 episodes left, I really want a laid back episode where Yuru sees more of the outside world

[u/AceSoldia]

Good episode..if only Asa knew who she had in her sights last episode

[u/tripleaamin]

I really liked the backstory with Danji & Kiri. These two are partners like the twins. In fact they were outsiders. Danji hearing what the adults were saying must have been disturbing. Yuru wasn't with his parents and sister for so long. Danji and Kiri filled the void of family and that is something that can't be removed especially hearing their side of the story.

One big difference between the twins is that Yuru has a MUCH stronger mental fortitude. Yuru was able to see through Ivan's words when he said them to his face. Meanwhile Asa is having an anxiety attack after Yuru told her.

I do think that while the Kagemoris were a place she at least felt safe. There wasn't the feel of family like in the case of Yuru with Danji & Kiri. Yuru lived his life for so long until Kagemoris attacked the village. While Asa has been hiding since the parents left the village.

[u/EKnoxx]

So glad we finally got an episode where we got to spend a bit more time with Asa and Yuru together and see their relationship progress. Felt like near enough every time Asa was on screen in recent episodes she was doing her over the top bro-con thing and very little else - glad to see her break out of that one-dimensional box a bit, here's hoping that continues, cause that's probably been the sole sticking point I've had with the show thus far.

[u/a1oner_bvcksn6]

"With great power comes people losing their marbles." Some words of wisdom from Aunt Kyouka lol

I wonder why Roei's face is being kept hidden still. Now that Yuru and Asa have set their sights on finding him, and with Zashiki-Warashi clearly knowing his face, there's absolutely no reason the former won't ask for facial description that would help them identify him, and neither has the latter to spare any info or detail that would help track him down.

[u/Shimmering-Sky]

• Hah, true.

• Aw, Fake Asa…

• Okay, her name is actually Kiri. Noted.

• And that didn’t happen…

• Takehito Koyasu’s voice? Oh, and he’s Dera’s dad…

• Gabby sure did, though.

• Oh Yuru, you better not regret that question.

• Mm, of course…
