Horikawa is determined, has his view on loyalty and faces it with Kane san in a warrior way. I am guessing yet Kane san has slayed beside Horikawa and wouldn't have broken him yet hence the next episode would be about the battle of Hakodate since Horikawa would be there to protect Hijikata and surely the 2nd unit would be sent there. But then that means Horikawa would have spent 3 years with Hijikata I wonder about that too if he would turn closer to a kebiishi, wouldn't he have changed a bit history or would he live by himself keeping an eye on Hijikata from afar. But yet spending 3 years by himself thinking that what he is doing is right, I can't imagine him changing his mind. I hope it wouldn't be only talking with Hijikata or Kane san that changes Horikawa's mind if he has too.

Overall, the hype for this anime really doesn't disappear. It might be less happy, friendly and adorable than Hanamaru but that's what makes it special in its own way. Despite the two stories ending with a Shinsengumi sword desiring to save their former master, they went with different paths. Also this could all be blamed on the Saniwa XD That idiot seems to barely care about his sword sending them in those places, not even spending time with new sword to help them understand the importance of the mission. In Hanamaru it was the same but since the danger was less bigger, they wouldn't think too much about it besides there were more times in the citadel so they could have some rest. This is one of the character I'll never come to like no matter the version I guess it's because he is so different to my way of playing.

I can't wait for next episode which I guessed would be the last one? I wish they would do a second season though! I need to see other swords getting more attention. I am a bit sad that there are so many swords I barely know because I don't have much knowledge on Japan's history and those animes help you love everyone even more by understanding them better. So please let's continue to support this to hopefully get a new season <3 Totally agree with your comment ! I also said on the thread of the last chapter, even if is another shinsengumi sword master problem I do like the way they did it on this anime. I feel the same for the saniwa, sending Tonbokiri to night battle vs ootachi or him and tsurumaru in such narrow streets where ryoma sakamoto was running, aaah I don't understand him at all. I though that since the saniwa would appear as character unlike hanamaru he would at least interact with the swords but noo.
