Don’t go to stop them if you’re not a combatant!

It must have been quite disappointing for the person themselves, so it’s good that the punishment from Nanazume became convincing.

But if possible, I wanted them to fight with bayonets… But I guess that’s impossible because it’s inside a ship.

I’m really putting myself on the line, not treating my subordinates like pawns, and somehow becoming more attractive!

Last time was pathetic, but this time was cool… was it good?

Well, that’s good.

He became really handsome in the spin-off.

Was it really that bothersome that the explosive rounds were made the subject of so many jokes?

>>6

You really pulled it off, didn’t you?

>>10

This time it sank with a punch!?

Considering Hoji’s background, it’s only natural to value his subordinates.

“Of course, even Aqua can get angry.”

I want to see more of the Tenbongato side.

If I can crush the Kingston, it seems I could just smash it from the outside.

Why did you approach that crazy person who uses the double ultimate of an anti, even though they can’t fight?

>>12

Because Muneyoshi has to look at Saito, and Yumi can’t fight from the start…

Unlike the original work, Shishio hasn’t revealed the location of the hideout, so it seems like they’ll cover that in the remaining two episodes.

In the original work, the part where Misao is attacked was a flashback, so Sanosuke learns about Anji’s true identity through Kaoru, but in the anime, that part of the story changed.

What is a rose!?

…Scratched with a rose and put out the fire!?

The digestion scene is too leisurely…

It’s like slowly creating a connection or fate.

Always carry a gun with you!

Wasn’t it supposed to be a setting where you can use bayonet fighting techniques?

It was conveyed in the original work that Hoji is quite capable!

The thread’s author not only talks but also shows their commitment through action, and I think that’s impressive.

Despite agreeing with Shishio, the depiction of the subordinates not being determined at all is heavily emphasized in the new anime.

Even though the person and the Juppon Gatana are really into it, it’s tough when the subordinates are hindering things here and there…

Was it difficult to stretch the old anime’s 15 episodes into 23 episodes?

>>21

Let’s do a past arc with Yumi-san.

>>21

Since the remaining episodes are similar, I wonder if they will do another two-cour season from here.

>>43

The old anime’s Kyoto arc had 31 episodes.

Until the Realm of Purgatory Sinks is Episode 15.

It has been 16 episodes since the raid on Shishio’s hideout.

It feels like it’s split exactly in half.

The portrayal that it’s impossible for the Shishio faction to conquer the country is gradually being emphasized.

It’s unfortunate that there are so many subordinates who can’t even pull the trigger in that situation, Houji.

Hōji was doing his best in his own way, so it turned out well.

>>23

Seriously, this was the reason for the defeat.

It’s amazing that the double ultimate technique, which is a fantastical skill rather than the direct decisive blow of the explosive projectile, became the trigger for it to become much easier to grasp.

After that, it caught fire, so the explosive rounds were useful as well.

No, I really can’t keep up anymore. There are even people who are like, “Let’s just run away.”

Well then, there’s no way we can conquer the country, right…?

The lower-ranking members on Shishio’s side have low morale, while the lower-ranking members on Kenshin’s side have very high morale.

>>27

Additionally, the remaining Ten Sword in Kyoto is fairly engaging with the other party, so it’s slowly starting to feel like things are somehow working out.

>>31

No matter how you look at it, it’s clear that the operation has failed, but since they think there are only weak enemies, they are underestimating the situation and acting carelessly. I agree with that interpretation, but for some reason, I feel oddly sorry for Shishio…

>>35

The plan is like that, and Shishio is missing, so something feels off, right? The motivation is completely nonexistent too.

The elements are good, but the animation direction isn’t very good…

The idea of fighting while climbing to the top is really great, but…

>>28

The content and tempo are subtle, huh…

>>28

It feels like the original element has a relaxed pace.

Hitting Sanosuke with a rose is kind of funny.

>>36

Because they are a brawler, that kind of thing works in reverse; they can’t act recklessly against someone who seems like an ordinary person.

A low-ranking member of the Shishio faction rushed into the clinic asking for help, and I thought, “You’re really not cut out for doing bad things!”

By adding the circumstances that the foot soldiers of the Shishio faction were suffering under the shadow of the Restoration, it led to an increase in guys who are like murder virgins.

>>41

Being continuously turned into food, I might as well switch to being the one who eats! But I guess that’s something that comes from being cornered.

Unlike the leaders and executives, my mental state is just ordinary, so I’m not suited for that kind of thing at all…!

Given his personality, Sanosuke likely held back even though he could have easily crushed Hoji’s whole body.

In hindsight, if we had sent Yumi, there was a possibility we wouldn’t have been able to intervene.

Recently, Sanosuke has been fighting against people who seem to be of a higher rank than him.

If someone who obviously can’t fight comes at you with a rose, you’d be taken aback, right?

I thought it was a gathering of survivors who wanted to bloom beautifully and then die, but it strangely turned into a gathering of small-time players; is that a valid reinterpretation?

Honestly, thanks to the original animation, I’ve come to think that it’s only natural for Mob to be killed by Umidou-san.

I was fully expecting her to pull out at least one gun from the white rose.

Damage from a rose thorn, huh…

>>48

Well, that’s something I intend to give to Shishio-sama.

It’s more concerning for someone who can hide a gun…

It was said that Hōji is actually strong, but this week he was knocked down in one hit by Sanosuke, and now he’s called a nameless liar.

>>50

Sanosuke is strong.

>>50

If you use a gun, you can manage fairly well, but without anything other than a bouquet, there’s really nothing you can do…

It seems like they might go all the way in the afterlife.

I wonder if they will go to the hideout.

If we have one Shishi, it should be possible to take the country.

I feel like it could have gone well with an additional 3-cour length.

It’s difficult to fill the gaps in a 4-cour series…

There were too many parts where I was wondering what the anime original from the last time and the latest episode were showing me…

The original anime part feels like a time-wasting technique from 90s Jump anime…

The talented ones either died in the Bakumatsu period or managed to get by somehow in the Meiji era.

So, you’re saying that the lowly henchmen of the Shishio faction aren’t worth much?

>>58

The Ten Swords look like a bunch of hopeless guys.

>>60

Those guys are so capable that they all just quietly survive.

It’s best not to be able to commit murder, you know.

It seems that there are some thoughts about the old anime before the Kyoto arc, but I think the content of the previous and current original anime was close to that.

It’s not just a delay; it’s supplementing the feelings of each faction, so I don’t dislike it…

I remember feeling that the original anime of Fullmetal Alchemist wanted to cut the “Re-kill” arc… I only showed understanding for that, but the original anime itself felt a bit off.

The sword fight between Kenshin and Aoshi was good, though.

I think it was good to use the thorns to neutralize the explosive bullet.

Is it okay to be impressed by this, I wonder!?

Hōji is the type who gets inspired while Watsuki is drawing, so the original Hōji has a bland character in the early stages…

I understand that there are various things you want to do and there are good aspects, but…

It’s unclear why someone would attack with a bouquet, and I don’t have any interest in the story of Shishio’s underlings.

The remnants that appeared in the chapters with Seinen Yahiko and Hokkaido weren’t this pathetic, though…

>>70

After the charisma is gone, the only ones who can continue the movement are those with substance, not just fashion.

Isn’t it disappointing that, even though we deliberately changed the end of Rengoku, it still leads to a mediocre fate?

In the end, it hasn’t become interesting…

I thought they were afraid of shooting because they might hit the mob boss with a gun, but it turns out they’re just cowards.

It’s just a matter of being put in instead of sinking from a single shell burst.

I understand that it cannot be made into something with potential for development.

But they’re not needed, are they, Chow Chow girls?

It’s fine to have Ao-Shi appear in Purgatory after having left only the lair’s library for him to use after severely injuring the old man…

If the plan had been prevented in the first place, Aoshi would have ended up staying hidden in Kyoto without going to Tokyo…

In the original work and the old anime, there are plenty of points to critique around here.

Also, what’s interesting about the work is that it doesn’t contradict itself…

Next, I thought it would be better if it was condensed into one cour, but that might end up being weird like the end of the first season.

>>78

Even though we extended the old anime from 15 episodes to 23 episodes,

It might get strange to condense the remaining 16 episodes into 13…

If we are going to separate the Kyoto arc, it would indeed be up to the Mugen Train and then after that.

I understand that, but…

(This is different from the original…)

>>80

(Isn’t it different from the original…?)

I preserved the spacing in this panel over two chapters!

>>81

I don’t need it… it’s a bit boring.

Is the reason for digging deeper into things like the underlings because there will be some future use for them…?

Is it that Kenshin is trying to seal without drawing his sword again in the library after fighting Aoshi here?

I think it’s good to focus on the foot soldiers of the Shishio faction.

Even in the finally arriving peaceful world, weak individuals are still born, and I understand that those kinds of people are aiming for a chance to turn things around.

But it’s too much to create a drama by building up the characters of the instigators.

If we settle it in the Demon Slayer: Mugen Train, it would turn into the Kyoto OVA, so I wonder if we should have quickly sunk it according to the original story around this point.

The speed at which the Infinity Train Arc wraps up in just under two episodes also supported its interesting aspects.

>>89

The direction of what is interesting is…

Well, it seems that adjusting the number of episodes was difficult after all.

In the end, was it a wise decision in the original work to easily eliminate Rengoku with a bursting shell, leaving him to be overwhelmed?

It feels even more pathetic because it has been infiltrated and destroyed even inside Purgatory.

>>92

In that regard, the lower-ranking ones are just not doing their jobs, so there’s nothing we can do about it.

Well, it’s mainly because Shishio and the others were pinned down on the deck, so there was no one reliable around.

The image of fighting with bouquets is one thing, but the disappointment of not being able to see the sword bayonet in such a nice battle is strong.

Well, it might be that they’re creating a connection with Sanosuke here to set up a confrontation with rifles in the third season.

If we assume it will be in the next season, I think it would have been alright to have a modification where Aoshi-sama reaches a conclusion here… but that’s probably not the case, which is why it ends up like that.

We can’t make this the last stage like in a live-action.

No matter how they tried to flesh it out, Shishio’s ship sank and the plan went bankrupt; there was probably no way to depict that further.

Personally, I think that the double ultimate defense against the Gatling and the counterattack explosion bullets, regardless of the logic, had a manga-like momentum that was not problematic.

It also connects with the line where Shishio says he was caught off guard by that man’s unexpectedness.

I think the story of the underlings is really important, and watching it makes me feel like I shouldn’t overdo it… so I think it’s a good deep dive.

I think there’s a temperature gap in the mentality of people who are just dissatisfied with the current situation because the top executives are acting so out of touch.

It’s pathetic that, given how terrible the current situation is, the only option was to follow someone as dangerous as Shishio.

This is all because of Aoshi’s doing.

The arson is also progressing simultaneously.

If Rengoku sinks here, wouldn’t it be kind of silly for Shishio to be waiting at the hideout?

I’ve only been failing completely.

>>101

That’s how it is from the original work…

At the point when Shishio destroyed the Purgatory, he became unable to move for a while, so it was good that it ended there.

The organization is so disorganized that even the remaining members from Kyoto can’t do their work… they probably have no motivation either.

I wanted to see the battle of Houji.

It has become quite hopeless for the organization.

It seems like they would do something like having Shishio and Kenshin fight at the end while explaining things with Houji.

Stop it.

I thought it would be okay for Shishio-sama to move a little more, right?

I laughed a little at the common scenario in original anime where a character has no one to interact with and ends up looking bored.

I think it’s a good change that Sanosuke went to the engine room and showed unexpectedness with a double climax.

If it’s just throwing a hand grenade and going “boom,” it might be Sanosuke’s own unpredictability… right?
