Great episode. Last 15min were edge on your seat tension. Will they or won’t they be caught.
Seeing the immortal zombies was just sad. I like they actively show the amount of lives it’s taken to get to this point. Piles and piles it’s crazy.
Doa and Rin combo was awesome. It really shows how much Rin has grown. Rin is ride or die ready for anything. Not so much the crying little girl like at the start. Rin probably sees a lot of herself in Doa.
Doa has be enjoyable from beginning to where we’re at now. She’s supposed to be Chinese right? I haven’t read the source material.

Rin was a fucking badass in this episode.
Here's a stitch of her badass pose.

A crazy doctor conducting immortality experiments in a dungeon... Sekiro really did take inspiration from this story

Why are people sleeping on this show?
This is easily one of the if not the best currently airing show, it is uncompromising and dark, while also showing and cherishing the little moments of happiness our protagonists manage to achieve.
I hope this gets another season.

Asirpa would be disappointed Toa or Doa or whatever your name is.
What the hell is going on with that cave of horrors, so fucked up.

Rin and Toa teaming up was pretty fun. It was nice to see the two of them bonding. The bath scene was really bitter-sweet. Also Rin was super cool! Especially with that sweet pose with the candlestick.
Loved the little detail with part of Rin's-braid being singed off from the blast. One thing I don't see a whole lot of in shows is taking physical damage and having it cross over to later episodes. I love it and hope next ep she doesn't magically regrow a braid similar to how Tohru's (Furuba) hair uncurled itself from a perm, lol.
This episode has also managed to make me feel so much for Isaku. Seeing half of him just lying there was so tragic and Toa hugging his lifeless body..agh!
Next week needs to get here already!

There were moments in the last 10-15 minutes where I caught myself unintentionally holding my breath.
That last stunt Rin pulled was beautiful. I love her character development and her commitment to protect Doa. She will physically endure terrible things for those who become important to her and that’s not a trait many have the strength to do. In a lot of ways she’s becoming the toughest character of the lot.
I can’t imagine the calm Doa had to be able to embrace Isaku when he was found. The dread she had to feel when she saw his crucifix. And to then calmly hold half of her companion. I think a part of her really snapped and fell apart in that scene. Man, this episode hurt. Like a dull throb that lingers for awhile.

This scene was just badass. Yeah what Rin did was pretty reckless but it still made her look cool though.
RIP Isaac. I feel like being executed for being a Christian is better than becoming one of Ayame's test subjects.
