Thanks, dl-ing now, will comment after naptime.
Yikes...I have work tomorrow...
Lol good old Kenichi, always meeting his rivals in the most random places and trying to be their friend. It seems the endgame has more or less been revealed now. All that remains is the actual execution. I just hope Kenichi learns/invents more new stuff before it's over.
really nice ep. Its good that they've finally introduced the saint of fists. I wonder how strong he is compared to the rest of the masters. I'd bet he's on par with them, but in a one on one match he'd be outwitted cuz he'd just be too berserk and out of control.
The preview looked nice too...kisara and big boobs fighting side by side. We finally get to see the 2nd and 3rd fists fight. Seems like we're in for some intense fights.
On the episode: It seemed like it was going to be slow until Feng Wei took down Kuma -- um, I mean until SoF wrecked that bear. It's pretty cool how everything's come full circle to Ryozanpaku again. Also, they did a pretty good job IMO of masking the dude's identity until the end. Knowing what we know about the types of martial artists, F6's disposition makes a whole lot of sense. It's interesting though that F1 has the Seikuuken yet SoF is the crazy type of fighter, and he trained F1...wonder if there's actually more than meets the eye, or maybe it's just that he had more than one teacher and the other taught him the Seikuuken...?
On the previews: That move that Miu did over Kisara's back is pretty sweet. Also, it looks like even F2's fighting skill is no match for Nijima's running-away skill, although he may have let him go to humiliate him.
There's pretty much no way that Takeda is going to be able to survive a full-on fight with F2, though; hopefully Kenichi will be back in time to save them before they get owned. I find it doubtful that he'll have a seikuuken to rival F1's in a single episode though. This is going to get interesting.

I wouldn't underestimate Elder-san's training. Remember they've only been in the forest for like 3 days or so, they've still got another half a week to go before they go back. I think the elder is going to mercilessly teach Kenichi all about Seikuken and give him a solid fighting level-up.
Well, then Takeda and Ukita will be leaving the list of recurring characters next episode. It's too bad; I liked Takeda a lot. Oh well, hopefully Hermit will return and fill the void left in my heart.
^^ im dying to see the results >_< But i think the story is going to continue after Kenichi fights Odin.

Great ep... Nijima actually surprised me. and its true, Berserker won't even be able to walk in that town again (well if he cares anyways)
Lol I love how Nijima always manages to come through in a pinch, but what's he going to do when Berserker jumps out of that hole! As usual this episode was very enjoyable as the action-comedy blend in Kenichi is always excellent.

A little off topic, but it's baffled me why they're releasing slightly tweaked versions of the same intro every few episodes. The most obvious change was putting in the awesome-looking sequences of Natsu vs. Kenichi and Kisara vs. Miu, but there have been subtler changes as well.
Also, LOL at Thor peacing out almost completely. Has he even been seen since getting KTFO'd by his crew?
Anyway, I'd reeeeally like Kenichi to be back in the city soon, but I like how without him or Natsu things are just falling apart at the seams. Siegfried is, at this moment, the strongest active Shinpaku member other than Miu (who doesn't really count), so hopefully he'll get pulled together by the magic that is Ryozanpaku's clinic quickly enough if Kenichi doesn't get back soon and Natsu continues to be a douche.
Also, the part where Kisara starts moving like Miu was cool, mostly because she didn't land all gracefully as if she'd been doing it all her life. These guys have an eye for gradual change rather than sudden success (Kisara doing the move, Natsu still being a jerk, Koga with his suckiness trying to be a Loki sycophant). Thumbs up for that.
And dang, Freya's got something in the trunk...
who's Thor again? the sumo guy?
Yeah its the sumo guy...
Complete cocktease of an episode, here's 46:

Yeah cocktease is definatly correct... but at least there was plot progression. I don't mind a cliff hanger after an episode that actually is moving foward with the story line.
Being left with that "damnit, next weeks episode needs to hurry the hell up" feeling is much better then the "Holy crap another week before anything whatsoever happens?" that I could have been left with if say the episode was cram packed with Kisara and Miu talkin about cats.

While it was a bit of a tease Kenichi's entrance was awesome, and the wonton tossing in of Narutoesque references was pretty funny too. Next ep should be awesome though, Go Hermit!
I liked the DBZ "scouter" reference ... that was good times.
