I HAS GUNS

Oh? This series is getting “darker” and “darker” now after all those ‘bishie’ jokes here and there in the previous episodes. Interesting.

Oh come on. Stop exaggerating.

The story continued from where it left where Miharu gang arrived at Fumi just to found out that the village had been attacked by “bad guys” ( Sorry, I just love to use the word “bad guys” ). They found an dying survivor and tell em stuff that they need to know like “They’re strong, we suck, one of them was a monster and they’re after one sweet loot “. Sort of. Thobari-sensei also notices something weird with the injured survivor: she looked pretty bad but there’s no damages to her clothes.

In the village, the bad guys were still there and continued their search for the “loot”, Fuuma’s Kinjutsu’s scroll. They were in burning building while trying to ‘interrogate’ one of the villagers, who end up being killed by one of em. They found a secret door and continued to chase the others who they assume to guard the desired item. To no surprise, they all die.

I really need to get one of those boots

While the bad guy busy killing em all and found out that they were just “decoys”, the villager who’s holding the scroll emerges out from secret door and continues to run to safety. Well, of course, the bad guys are too good for him and it doesn’t take long for the bad guys to find him running alone.

After running here and there, he ended up “falling” in front of the coolest looking bad guy in the series so far: a guy with a gun ( refer the first pic. yeah, that’s him ). Ok, I think he’s cool looking.

Meanwhile…

... and I'm pretty sure Kakashi is not one of em.

… that screenshot above just shows that he’s the one responsible for the looting mission. Appears that he’s not worried about the few number of ninjas he sent, because a Kira ( forbidden technique ) user is with them. And… he also reveals that they’re currently working with government constructing new sewers thus it’s about time to execute his “plans”. “Bad guys” and “plans”, can’t be separated, never.

Back to the bad guys in the village. So, they manage to get their hands on the uber loot and starts talking over it while surrounding the poor villager. Revealed their reason on hunting the Kijutsu too. Seems that they wanted it so that they can use it in order to obtain the Shinrabanshou.

The ever miraculously nicely timed appearance

And oh wow! The timing couldn’t be better, here comes the Shinrabanshou and the gang rushing towards them. Wow. Fight scene starts here, with personal commentaries sparsely here and there.

Miharu is no 'Golgo 13' but able to maintain one facial expression.. anytime.. even when his friends are working their ass off fighting bad guys

While Miharu & Co busy fighting the bad guys, the village takes this as an advantage to flee away… so he did that. This is where they introduced ‘Yoite’, another bad guy. Now we know who’s the ‘Kira’ user.

I, Yoite

That’s Yoite? See what he’s doing? Pointing his fingers? No… that’s his leet skillz. That’s how he kills. Just point and kill. Ok, the poor villager well, being a poor guy, DIES. Then everyone goes ZOMGWTF then being smart, they run away.

Logically, he should be in 2 piece, unless the she sucks at swinging katana.

A lot of fighting scenes from here onwards, so I’ll skip a bit forward.

I, Kotarou

After a lot of fighting and when they all are about to die ( yes, the point-and-kill guy is overpowered ), Fuuma Kotarou appears ( again, the miraculously nicely timed appearance ) to save the day. Episode 3 ends.

Impression? I like the suddenly change in terms of the overall feel. Previous episodes was humorous but this episode is just.. “dark”. Happy to see there’s more action scenes, more than previous episodes. So far so good. Now, let’s wait for the next episode.
