Their desire for money may not be pure, unadulterated greed, but in the end they still choose to make their living by theft and murder. And betrayal was no big deal to them. As they pointed out themselves... Naruto they ain't. They're as sympathetic as Nanami's scary. (OK, no, they're maybe 1% as sympathetic. It'd take industrial grade puppy-kitten to be as sympathetic as Nanami's scary.) But morally speaking, they don't look any better now than they did in ep1. It's only the magic of point of view and the temptation to root for the underdog that make them look that way. |

Meanwhile, 7 minutes into the episode while ya'll worry about ninja, I'm thinking "what a glorious idiot he is with all that lovely hair and petite skin in front of him".
As far as the ninja.... they're colorful and take great pains to create their persona, but basically their purpose is to slaughter the less-capable and steal from others when you turn off the stage lights. Much more akin to historical ninja than any Naruto fantasy. The banter between the ninja rather reminded me of the banter between Orcs... after all, they had clan and family as well and their own code of sorts. Occasionally, they were pretty funny. "Ninja thrive on unfair play" but a Namami ... if she goes bad, would be Terrible with a big T. The end was just hilarious, reminiscent of a story made up of the "in between moments".

i really like the bumblebee in this episode. So far, the endings has been very good in this series (I am talking about the end fights not the ed nor the fact that its done).
This hold particularly true to the end in where Spoiler for Spoiler:
I liked this episode. |

You can tell Nanami has insane skill back in episode 1. When Koumori Maniwa attacked the house with his throwing kunai she sensed and reacted to the danger before Shichika who did not even seem to be aware of it. It was from that event that I assumed she was way more than she seemed but I did not belive she had such a dark side to her.

this also explains why nanami said in episode 1. When shichika and togame are departing. She said that "will they be alrgiht? he is pretty weak" but as for episode 1 and episode 2 plus 3.... I don't see why was shichika was weak but this explains it. His sister is just insanely strong. And on her point of view shichika is weak and still needs of guidance.

as for killing the ninjas, they are in the "kill or be killed" era, at least she did not celebrate after killing, like what Shichika did |

It could be a simple lack of understanding of other people's pain. She was a child herself, and she might not have known how painful it'd be. And even now, she could think of it as "not that painful". And remember she did it for his own good, not for kicks.

Perhaps the reason she sent Shichika with Togame was so he'd get strong enough to kill her and end her suffering, but since he's lagging she's decided to intervene and speed up the process. In any case, it's going to be one hell of a reunion. I can't wait

The dad probably taught Shichika a hidden move that could prove fatal if imitated, but requires an incredible degree of skill to execute. Or maybe Togame will just blind Nanami with her hair
