Season Two Ep 6 stills


 

New stills have been dropped for S2E6, and since two of them are about Ōdanna-sama, I just have to post them here. I originally posted the visual of the young Ōdanna-sama in the post about S2E5 review, but since I found out about some more stills, I just have to make a separate post. As such, this post is just about me narrating the stills. I saw some of these stills first from Otaku News (the one above, in particular), but apparently Kakuriyo Anime has been regularly posting more stills (more than the ones uploaded to X), and I didn't know about it! Gah!

Anyway, chronologically, we will see this one first, where Byakuya (and Sasuke-kun) rescued Aoi from that bastard Raiju.

 


Afterwards, Byakuya teleported Aoi and Sasuke-kun to the Yoto underground. Here, we have Byakuya, Aoi and Sasuke-kun welcomed by Shimon, the brother of Dr Saraku, in Shimon's clock shop called The Silhouette.

 


 

Next, Byakuya would narrate Ōdanna-sama's backstory, and thus we have Tenjin Castle, the precursor of Tenjin-ya. This castle was built to keep the "lid" that kept Ōdanna-sama imprisoned in the underground. It's also possible that this shot is the first iteration of Tenjin-ya when they still didn't have a lot of capital etc; i.e., Ōgondōji-sama just basically turned the Castle into an inn and then asked Ōdanna-sama to run it. Ōdanna-sama then asked Byakuya, Saraku and Zakuro to help him, hence they are the founding members of Tenjin-ya. However, Ōgondōji-sama still ran Tenjin-ya until Ōdanna-sama graduated from the Bunmon University. Check Vol 9 Ch 2 and Vol 9 Ch 7 for the Tenjin-ya backstory.

 


 

Then we have the creme de la creme, i.e., Byakuya meets the young Ōdanna-sama, or shall we say, Setsu.

 


 

Setsu was such a beautiful boy... and his eyes were (still are) so sincere that Byakuya knew immediately that this is the being that he had to serve after Suzume died...

 


 

Next, Aoi and Sasuke return to Tenjin-ya, and Aoi might try to coax Chibi to forgive her for being MIA.


 

And then we have the temari-zushi that Aoi, Ginji, Ai-chan and Chibi made for the Tenjin-ya crew. I can see myoga ginger there; I LOVE myoga!

 


 

The episode might end with Aoi and Ginji bringing these temarizushi to the Tenjin-ya crew.

 


 

It will be a very quick and packed episode! 

Anyway, I like it that all stills I've seen for Ep 6 are well-drawn. Byakuya in particular looks more and more like the Byakuya in Season One. Hopefully the bad illustrators have indeed been reassigned to draw trees or background instead of drawing important characters.

Yo thanks for this update! The stills look like season 1!! Although the food kinda looks copy-pasted / uncanny in some way for me but it's all good for the characters yes!

Nooo, not the poor background or trees😭😭 What did they do to deserve mediocrity🤐🙃 Haha... honestly yeah I think we are invested in good art and animation (same as the studio tbh... the budgetttt)

"It will be a very quick and packed episode!" We're finally entering the juicy territory of Odanna-sama's backstory!!

Yo, Oni-fan! Thanks for the comment! The stills do have S1 vibe, right! I like that vibe. A Japanese fan on x said that it was a Heisei-era vibe, and I like it actually.

Hahaha! I love trees, but I am contend with bad trees compared to bad visuals of the characters! I do agree we need good backgrounds, and the studio who does the background (like the moon over the pampas grass) has been doing a very good job here, haha!

IKR for the juicy territories! Less than 24 hours away!!!

Kakuriyo Novel Volumes 7-11 Heavy Spoilers

Image
A part of my Kakuriyo novel collection: Volumes 7-10.  This post contains HEAVY spoilers. You’ve been warned.  I’m at the moment translating Kakuriyo no Yadomeshi Vol 7 Ch 1 , following on the surprising news from Raijū in Vol 6 Ch 10 . There is no Ōdanna-sama in Vol 7 Ch 1 because of what happened in Vol 6 Ch 10, but we do have Aoi feeling his loss (which is great from the viewpoint of story development, but it’s still painful). In the same chapter, one of my 2nd most favourite characters, i.e. Byakuya-san (yep, now I actually have Byakuya and Hatori competing with Ginji for the runner-up in my heart), is in charge of the move to rescue Ōdanna and Tenjin-ya. Byakuya is actually going to be very active in this quest, hence he’s going to be a very close ally of Aoi’s. Surprising, really, because he was very cold when we first met him… (but then we realised he was a cat-lover, and I always forgive cat-lovers…).

Updates and recap of the rest of Volume 10

Image
Byakuya is one of my favourite characters, and he's prominent in Vol 7 Ch 4 ( Source ) It was still 19 December 2021 when I started writing this post, and it was a year ago on 19 Dec 2020 that I decided to make this blog to celebrate the beautiful writing that is Kakuriyo no Yadomeshi. Unexpectedly, the blog has slowly but surely attracted readers from around the world. Visitors from the United States, the Philippines and Indonesia are the big three visitors, followed by Russia, Malaysia, Brazil, the Netherlands, Italy, Mexico and Australia. I have made sure that my own visits are not counted in the blog, hence Australian visitors should truly reflect the trend that there are many readers in Australia who follow the Kakuriyo story. Nevertheless, we have other readers coming from other countries as well: Singapore, India, Canada, the UK, Vietnam, Germany, Poland, Thailand, Bangladesh, New Zealand, Spain, Italy, etc. I even had visitors from the Dominican Republic, South Africa, Moro...

Kakuriyo volumes 6-11 summary… and a reflection

Image
Ōdanna & Aoi, art by Laruha This post contains the summary of Kakuriyo no Yadomeshi volumes 6-11 (Vol 11 is the Gaiden) per Amazon Japan. SPOILERS of course, so don't read it if you don’t want to know how the Kakuriyo stories continue. The summary does spill the bean of a very important aspect of Ōdanna and Aoi. However, the descriptions don’t spoil you that deep, because you still won’t know some mundane and important things, e.g. Ōdanna’s favourite food, his real name, and the reason for the events that take place in Vol 7-10. Oh, and you won't know whether Ōdanna would kiss Aoi or not, and if he would, when. Beforehand though, I’d like to make a short observation about some Kakuriyo haters. Perhaps “hate” is too strong a word, but I cannot help using that word whenever I come across some blogs/websites that consistently shred Kakuriyo to pieces. I won’t name the blogs here, but if you google “Kakuriyo no Yadomeshi”, it’s likely you’ll find 2-3 blogs that constantly...
