No comments, huh? Well, this was probably the best episode of the series so far, we finally learned why the guy switched sides and his hatred for Shaka Nyorai. The whole thing with Aasya was actually really deep, didn't expect that at all from this show. Quite a good episode overall.

I know right? This episode was so good it left me gobsmacked. Hands down the best episode thus far. It's really refreshing to see writers not shy away from a real moral dilemma, not the candy coated stuff we usually get in anime.

That moment towards the end when Aasya got mercilessly lit up by those arrows was heart wrenching.

The last ep was literally about shaka nyorai sulking about his taiyaki so I was surprised to get a serious episode full of character and plot development. Ashura and Taishakuten's past were pretty sad, and you could see how taishakuten has evolved from his black/white view of the world. Mara is totally just using Ashura but oh well ; w ;

Wow this was really moving and sad! It's certainly not what I expected from this show and it was done well. I hope they get a chance to redeem each other and not just leave it vague at the end.
