I have always thought that Gitsune was 'her', who just reverted to child form with memory erased. |

Rikuo back home. The "greetings" were funny ^^'
The battle ships were a nice surprise, so cool! Yura/Yuuki Onna saves the day ^^ those guys sure know how to pick the wrong time to go sightseeing in Kyoto. Akifusa turned into a yokai, possessed? Ryuuji is pretty cool ^^

This episode reminds me why I dislike Kiyotsugu so much. How many times does that guy have to nearly get his friends killed by his stupidity before he gets a clue? It seemed like he somewhat got it this time, but really the guy wanders into danger like he's going to a petting zoo. While it'd never happen don't think it'd be a tragedy if he got himself killed during the series. Keep a lot of people out of danger that way.
A nice combo attack though with Yura and Tsurara. Still this is a really bad situation for Yura. They were already outnumbered and out gunned before and now some of their top guys are either incapacitated or outright traitors. Not sure if Akifusa was just corrupted by his own power or whether there was some pushing involved from outside. Either way he's clearly going to be no help to the clan right now. Rikuo needs to get his guys on the boat and get moving. They are running out of time.

p.s. - i think the anime will probably still reveal this fact at some point later since this seems to be a pretty impt piece of info. I'm guessing that grandpa nura will have a chance to meet with Hidemoto and it'll get brought up at that point. I wonder if Hideomoto will also accidentally confuse little nura for grandpa nura at first. edit: Favorite scene: "Listen carefully Yura, I'm going to teach you a technique" "We're going to end it tonight, the final battle huh" *emits smoke* "It's time to...Runnnnn yura-channnn" "NANYAHHH!?!?!!?"

Haha poor Yura firing smokescreens rather than getting to finish the battle. Of course Hidemoto is right that this isn't a fight they can win and that it's best to retreat for now. I'm sure he's counting on Nurarihyon to show up eventually to fight and that will be their moment. Rikuo might not be his grandfather, but obviously he'll have to finish the fight in the end.
As expected Tono and the Nura clan have some issues to work out here. Just shows how the loss of Rikuo's father really hurt the clan's strength. Until these groups get some respect for each other it'll be dangerous. Though think Tono is wrong about why Rikuo hadn't learned that stuff yet. It didn't help that for a long while he wanted to live as a human so he wouldn't be interested in any of that. Then it comes down to a fear that if he does gain that level of strength he'll do something crazy like trying to hunt down Gitsune. Sure she apparently killed his father with a sneak attack, but her strength isn't anything to laugh about. So that's how Akifusa went down. As expected those three weren't remotely a match for the shear number and strength of Gitsune's forces. Good move by Yura using Hagun. At least they've recovered those three guys and can regroup.

Akifusa still consumed by yokai. Ryuji couldn't save him no matter how hard he tried.
Some historical info behind those helped to understand this more. Akifusa sure had an inferior complex, no wonder he got consumed by darkness. Yura can now use Hagun. Maybe she'll be the one to defeat that ayakashi girl. Nura is totally late to Kyoto & his bunch is not getting too well along.. Really nice action scenes in this episode!

So from what I gather at the end of episode 10 is that the Nura clan Yokai who have shared sake with Rikuo are actually much stronger than previously have been shown? Meaning, during the last battle with Tamazuki's yokai, they were holding back? If that is the case, then it means they were more powerful than Rikuo at the time, but they let him do battle with the big, bad boss.
It just does not make sense. Why would they hold back, putting Rikuo's life in danger? I really do hope they explain why the Nura clan was holding back on their powers.

Yeah, they did not struggle much (just a little at first), but it really should have been a no-issue battle if they are as strong as what is hinted right now (meaning, stronger than Rikuo pre-training).
Also, if the Nura clan is as strong as hinted, then how did Hihi (Shouei's father) die so easily under Tamazuki's team? Isn't he one of the big clan leaders? Tamazuki should be weak in comparison.
