In my perspective by playing the game, he's one of the sword with stable mentality (save for his obsession towards Izuminokami) and also already moving on from his past. but in this episode, he seems to be more or less like Yamatonokami in Hanamaru. Maybe we will get Hanamaru eps 11-12 in Katsugeki next eps, seeing how the plot progress, but in more darker and angsty way.

That aside, it's such nice story. the feels... the angst, it really spot on. especially when Mutsunokami is confronted by Kunihiro wether he wants to tell Ryoma about his future death. Also, the scene when Izuminokami cried after crossing path with Hijikata, it kinda remind me of his recollection with Kunihiro, but more emotional. :')

Oh cool, I thought I was the only one thinking that he was kind of acting out of character. Granted, the game is limited to single-lined dialogues and brief recollections, but even then, I would think he would be smarter than that, considering how level-headed and upbeat he is in-game.

Maybe it's because he is a newer sword in the Katsugeki universe, but be it the game itself, the anime, the musical, or the stageplays, each really has their own take on the sword's personalities and was never consistent to begin, so I'm not really surprised Ufotable took this route even with someone like Horikawa.
