Personal rating 9/10

Growing impatient, the shogun orders a second group made up of Yamada Asaemon and Iwagakure ninjas to go to Shinsenkyou and find out what happened to the vanguard party. Meanwhile, on the island, the remaining vanguard party members finally regroup and try to figure out their next steps.

( Cut for length and spoilers. )

Random stuff:

• Can’t wait to see more of the additional landing party and their abilities. I find Isuzu and Shugen the most intriguing so far.
• Jikka being excited to clock out and leave this island 😂 It’s me past 2:00 PM on a weekday.
• Thank you, animators, for all the moments where Gantetsusai is just in fundoshi and the moments where he takes off his top so I get to see peekaboo glimpses of his hips/thighs because of his hakama. Thank you as well for Shugen’s biceps and Ran’s muscles.
• Lowkey shipping Eizen/Shugen but not currently motivated to actively search for content.
• Very glad I stumbled across the ちょびっと！じごくらく！ shorts on YouTube! They’re a goldmine for the type of trivia and/or fun facts that inspire fanworks. (Like, what do you mean Fuchi gives all the Yamada Asaemon nicknames because he sees them as family? 😭😭😭)
• Honestly, Fuchi in general was so cute?? The way his ahoge flicked back-and-forth as he spilled Sagiri's crush, the way he got hyped about getting to study Tensen bodies and Gantetsusai’s new look, the way he kind of skip-hops in lieu of running omggg
• I can’t find any news re: the air date for S03, but if we’re following the wait time between S01 and S02, we’ll get S03 (probably the final season since the manga’s done) in 2029.
