There is no way Saru is dead. Like most ninja's of his amazing magical skills, Hanzou probably used a body replacement technique and the bomb was more of a smoke bomb (or it blew up an already dead body). What I don't get is why Saru hasn't shown up yet. You'd figure that if Nobuna had enough time to attack and surround the enemy, Sagura would have returned by now. Then again, they did mention that Hanzou went back to his province, so that could be a reason why it is taking so long. As for Juubei, I'm calling the "I've got amnesia because the explosion knocked my head silly" ploy. She has grown too comfortable with Hideyoshi (a.k.a. Sagura), so they need to find a way for her to be antagonistic and re-create the Honno-ji temple event. Either way, next episode will be the last, sadly, so it will probably end with a reunite and victory for the team. Genji probably will survive to be a later antagonist, if there ever will be a season 2 (sadly, from earlier in this thread, the sales numbers do not look too good).

But, how can they get a unified Japan in just 2-3 episodes?

Its one of the best things in this series, it doesn't overflow with Romance. Usually coming to the wire which seems to be good timing. The music in background was very good and set the tone and mood very well.

Nuuu, the next episode is the last one. Well, it has been a good run so far, so it'll be interesting to see how the producers will wrap this up.
It's unlikely Yoshiharu just kicked the bucket. I agree it's too suspicious that Hanzou just threw a bomb at him. Besides, the anime is not serious enough to kill off characters, even ungrateful ones like masked man Yoshitatsu. However, if Yoshiharu is alive, where is he? Inuchiyo, who was at the scene, already made it back to Nobuna. My guess is, as most animes go, Yoshiharu managed to grab Mitsuhide when she fell. Then they had to take a long time to climb out and make it back. |

Now seriously is there a single person that believing the Monkey dead
Anyway, the episode was mediocre... or rather rushed, and the action wasn't as awesome as in the previous episodes. |

I would say it's a body double created by Hanbei's familiar Zenki. Notice that Zenki seemingly disappeared after he and Hanzou talked to Yoshiharu. I have a feeling Hanbei would later appear and say she knew Zenki created the body double, but she was too sick to tell Nobuna.
