Highlights

- Neito's entrance, love the chains.
- Toori's gar moment. For those complaining about the lack of action by the main character, You got it this ep.
- Masasumi trolling the pope :D
- Noriki's fight with Galileo
- Muneshige and Futayo's fight.

Futayo = 1/5 Gin lol

Innocentius 's character really weird when come to competition .
He is useless as in He is taking all the people's "uselessness" :heh:

Not as pumping as last week or episode 4-5, but definitely an excellent middle dish for the grand final of this season. I appreciate how things went smoothly in term of showing people fighting their all, even the grunts from both sides. Nate's showtime was also spelling quite the "hero unit" all over her :heh: (still, where are the other knights? Are they along with Mikawa guards or something?)

I particularly liked how they didn't push any melodrama button when Tomo announced the burden Toori had to bear once the contract is over. Instead, some shock and solemn mood before things shifted to high gear. That and that excellent track when Toori unleashed his ability.

Finally, color me quite surprised how Innocentius was trolled THAT badly by no one else than Masazumi...I couldn't help but let out a guffaw at that, especially with Nakata pulling such kind of voice, besting his most silly antics as Neko Chaos :heh:

As for the end, I guess Muneshige was fortunate to have faced Tadakatsu for his tactics used against Futayo, although the daughter is arguably nothing close to her final boss-like daddy. Round 2 should be interesting, as it is unlikely anyone else but Futayo can stop Muneshige's threat.

Next 2 episodes are going to be a blast. Looking forwards them.

Pretty much my feelings towards this ep. I love it. The fights may not have been episodes 4-5 levels of amazing but real close. Innocentius was far more comical than he appears too. Toori made thing's even better. Damn I love his scene so much. The music, his speech, everything. Must go watch it again.

Going by the meeting of the knights in the earlier episode I'd say she's the only student knight that can take part. It was either older people who would no longer be students or much younger going just by looks anyway.

I enjoyed pretty much the whole episode, I especially liked the grin on Nate's face when she reached Toori's side.

Innocentius got baited so hard. :D

Three highlights in this episode:

#1 Neito looks so cute rushing to Toori's aid and then asking him to praise her :D Even better was how he ended up rubbing her head :heh:

#2 Toori's GAR moment where he made the contract with the Shinto God, and his subsequent speech about taking in all of their uselessness and giving them power to do things.

#3 Futayo and Muneshige verbal exchange :heh: Sure their high-speed fighting was cool, but the two idiots were even better just talking :heh:

Today's MVA - most valuable voice actor is Nakata Jouji
what an amazing Pope!
Toori shows his power
Futayo and Muneshige, are you Elementary school student?

aaah the moment I've been waiting when toori finally not as useless as he's been! and "with a great power comes great responsibility sacrifice" :(
neito's really a good... wolf :heh:
and pope! how can you fall for that! LMAO

LOL that's really true!

TBH, with what episode 9, 10 achieved, I do feel this episode was a bit bland (probably because the dialogue is also harder than the last one as well).

Having said that, I enjoyed this episode very much. It had so many elements in it.

Love the Nate and Naomasa debut, Nate's battle suit is just so amazing and her weapon fits her so well imo. I wish she could have show us more though.

The second Tazai Bushou was cheap, I mean really cheap (not that I didn't know it before). But Toori awesome debut as the main character made up for it. I like the animation sequence of Toori's contract, whoever thought about that socket idea is amazing XD. Wish I could understand Toori's speech a bit more though. Like Klashikari said, I liked the way they handle the painful truth about Toori's contract, they were so understanding with Toori to concentrate in their goal.

Love the Masazumi vs Innocentius moments. I liked it best when Masazumi accused him for sexual harassment, that was surely hilarious.

The fight between Galileo and Noriki was a bit pale to me (mainly because I didn't really catch what they were saying, especially Galileo ). But glad that Noriki finally had his first win.

Not as funny as the Pope vs Masazumi scene, but Muneshige and Futayo realy shone in this episode with child like attitude. I love the fact that Muneshige had to crouch down to ask Gin about how to answer Futayo lol. And the fight, imo, was more exiting than the previous Muneshige vs Tadakatsu fight.

*Off to watch it the second time*

Stunning entrance Silver Wolf....love the way she was rewarded HAHA

Toori being a walking power transformer

Love how Masazumi dealt with Innocentius


Musashi being held hostage now....

Muneshige, Gin, Futayo = invincible trio LOLOLOL

such a nice episode even though I didn't understand much what happen or what are they saying. But I like the entrance fight of Neito. Using the humans as weapon to toss around :heh: and Aoi petting her :D The scene with the contract too. I don't understand much except that he will die if something which I don't understand much happen but from the novel thread. I think he is not allowed to be sad anymore. Oh darn the pope innocentius and Masazumi's fight was hilarious specially the popes comment on Masazumi's dress. The fight with Noriki and Galileo... I don't understand how he wins but he wins <.< the final battle is a also a bit hilarious with a childish ranting fight between Muneshige and Futayo.

It's weird, among all the strong girls Neito is the only one without sizable breasts :eyespin:


The Shinto God that Toori contracted with is one that likes what he normally does (those jokes, stupid remarks, strips, etc...), so from that moment on his offering is that he can never feel sadness ever again otherwise he would die.

While her mother.....Yes it's weird indeed

Wait, so it's not something that applies only when he's using that power and basically every waking moment of his life? Or is the power permanently activated or something? :uhoh:

He can't fall to sadness forever....

Well it was a dire situation....

There is a reason his power was sealed up until now, I guess.

But he can still use that power again right? I'm not sure if it was brought up during the ep.

Either way, it's even worse than I thought but that just makes him more awesome at the same time.
