Haha! I loved this episode. It was fun, sad, exciting and inspirational. I now understand a bit why the Yamainu didn’t use their guns in the previous episode. They may not look like it, but they’re scared as well. I can imagine how up till now, they’ve never had to deal with the unexpected. That’s why they became careless and forget to properly prepare. And that’s why they were easily pwned by Keiichi and the others in the wood. I loved how Okonogi actually admitted his defeat, and is now thinking of the survival of the Yamainu, instead of following Takano’s orders. The next episode should promise to be an awesome one: Takano’s screwed, but yet she’s going to do something that delivers the twist for the introduction of the third season.
Ah, and the things that happened in the clinic were excellent as well. Satoshi really seems to have been sick, ever since he was taken in, and I think it’s thanks to Irie that the guy survived. Tomitake is now free as well, and all that’s left now is to reach the next city. One thing I do hope for the third season is to provide more development for Keiichi, Mion and Rena. It really feels like the three of them have been incredibly ignored in the past season, while Rika, Satoko and the others did get their moments.
