On the other hand, we can see in ep 7 that Sayaka and Mai can keep up with Yume for a considerate amount of time individually. So there is no reason that Yume is too OP.

You won't need teamwork if you are so relatively strong versus your opponents you can warp between them like Yume did. I think Yume just wasn't putting her all in against Sayaka and Mai, possibly because of her heart (her heart is definitely coming on quicker this episode).

[Marcus H.]

Based on the progress of the Sayaka/Mai versus Yume, she seems distracted by forcing a development on Sayaka. Remember that she pursued them because she was projecting herself into Sayaka and she wanted Sayaka to tread the same path she did. This made the clash less like a random skirmish and more of a directed attack against Sayaka. Compare this to all her other fights which Yume ended in a flash.

For that reason, I do think that Yume might not have given her all against Mai and Sayaka because she attacked them with a motive and not because she's bored and she wanted to slice someone. It doesn't seem to make sense until you think about her sword style, Tennen Rishin-Ryu, that focuses on delivering sure kills as demonstrated with Yume's main attack points—the torso, the chest, the throat and the head.

Are the 5 other characters from the Toji no Miko game going to appear or are they only exclusive in the game story.

[Marcus H.]

They didn't say that the game-original characters will appear. Nonetheless, they are going to be part of a parallel story that would happen in-game.

[Liddo-kun]

Watched episode 9:

Another good episode. A little bit of playtime, they all look good wearing yukata. I guess the miko from osafune still play it nice becase they only use the back of their swords to hack the police? Because there's no blood.

Anyway, they have to escape..

-- looking forward to next week

While the flashback episode explains a lot of things, there are pieces that are missing in the puzzle such as why did Kanami actually went after Kagari and Yukari or what really happened to Yukari?

Kanami?????, i think you refer to Minato, but it is already explained, she follow them to assist, and i think she curious about the technique use to defeat the Great Aradama in history. So i also think that the moment she see Kagari decide to use "suicide" technique she realize what will happen and decide to intercept Kagari. And yeah the only puzzle is what really happen to Yukari, and i'm wonder if she already aware that the Great Aradama stuck in her body and slowly possessing her, why she don't end her life to prevent thing get worse in the future.

IMO, Yukari choice imprison the Great Aradama in her body by her own will, if she just kill herself, the Great Aradama may just escape again instead die with her. Thus she building military, seeking talent toji who has capacity to kill Great Aradama.

Sorry, too many characters, I get mix up the names. Honestly, I don't buy that Minato would make such a mistake. I understand that was classified information but something's very off. Probably Minato sense the technique is either flawed or it might have been sabotage.

It is probably make sense for her personality, she act on instinct, trying to save her friend, you can see that kind of personality through Kanami, her daughter

Episode 10: "Resolve for Tomorrow"

The Origami Family moves at a swift pace, initiating a mandatory investigation on Osafune Girls' Academy and Minoseki Academy on grounds of suspected participation in large-scale terrorist activity. The raid against the base of Mokusa dealt a massive blow to the organization, and Kanami and the others are enveloped in a gloomy atmosphere.

Now the War between Toji and Toji officially begin.

I'm surprised she waited this long.

[vietthai96]

Look like she waiting to catch some member of Mokusa, so she can initiate a war again Mokusa without ignite something among socialty.

[Marcus H.]

She also waited until her bait, the vial of noro, catches the most important targets. Considering she toppled Mokusa and saw suspicious activity within Minoseki and Osafune in one fell swoop, it was worth the damn wait.

Spoiler for Episode 10 Comments/Feedback:

That opening scene with Yukari was very ominous.

I'm glad they all want to fight.

That is definitely the same sign that the great aradama is coming, just take a look at Yukari, she looks like a real monster now.

Hopefully the world listens to Akame, thought it might be too late even if they do, Yukari might be at full power by then.

Look at them all in those battle armors, next episode is going to be great for sure.

[Wandering Soul]

Episode 10:

Looks like this episode just opened the possibility of Maki and Suzuka defecting as they were just as confused as everyone else was about the phenomenon. Guess they don't know what Yukari is planning.

Wasn't this supposed to be 24 episodes?

Because episode 10 felt very much like a near the end episode and this ending with 12 episodes doesn't feel too much out there.

Something has to go very wrong pretty soon. I wonder if we might get some kind of time travel after they fail to take down the big bad. They might all get kicked back into the past to stop the possession happening in the first place.
