    While the story is still plenty interesting, the last three episodes or so have plateau'd into a strange rut where it doesn't feel like the stories I'm waiting for have any advancement. Yes, Bosse's predicament and mannerisms leave some questions, but he's just sitting around right now and ... waiting? The flashbacks are still tender and the most engaging thing to me right now because I'm endeared to the side characters, but I am left unsatisfied on the whole with these last few episodes. More happened at a much greater clip in the first four episodes that kept me glued to my seat. This is a weekly viewing problem, to be sure, but I thought I'd note it anyway... for posterity.

    We are at the build up stage of the show, leading to a climax of sorts when Bojji returns.

Or there's a connetion to the devil thing.
    It's pretty confusing, but the impression I'm getting is that he made a bunch of bargains in his youth during his rise to power that he is still forced to uphold, even though he doesn't want to.

    So he's doing what's required of him, while secretly trying to get others to undermine him.

    That, or getting power is just a means to his true goal, which is to create a better/new world with Mirror.

    I dunno. Last week he was all "So I have to keep that old promise?" to mirror. Which suggests to me he was hoping he wouldn't have to.

    He doesn't want to because he grew affection for his family. That is not inconsistent with having an original goal he is working towards.

    episode 10:

    Ok, the thing he learned is KINDA bs, but I'll allow it because in the purest of theory it makes sense for Boji to fight light this and I like him.

    The thing that's actually less believable is that his swiftness was learned and not his inherent ability. Kinda begs the question what exactly the curse prevents him from ... just pure strength?

    Anyway, can't wait for his triumphant return! Go save you mommy!

    His swiftness and senses are inherent talents. It was just trained and improved by the snake. Just because you train hard doesn't mean you become amazing at something.

    Bojji has like never been hit when he was actually trying to dodge something.

    I mean, it's just straight up pressure point shit. Which is a pretty ubiquitous anime fighting style. The lethal version is literally Fist of the North Star.

    I wanna hear Bojji say "Omae wa mou shindeiru..."

    I'm more looking forward to the 'extra something' he's mastered, as his style will falter against the armored otherwise. I wonder why Despa decided to be deceptive in this quasi test of Boji's abilities?

    We'll probably have to see that in Boji's first 'life or death' battle. Also, is Kage ever going to grow, or just be a cheerleader for Boji?

    Either way, I'm pretty good with the underworld and await the next leg of the story, whatever that is.

    Dear god, for a few seconds I understood that scene as Despa actually having tricked Boji, and Boji really hasn't gotten any stronger, Despa just created this act to make Boji believe he did.

    Almost had a heartattack, because I wouldn't have made it through another "boji said because of betrayal" scene.

    My guess is Boji can find and strike weaknesses in anybody AND anything.

    I also thought Despa was tricking Boji, when in fact he just wanted him to gain confidence.

    I love it he has a foil ( well more a very slim rapier) as a weapon.

    He's the complete opposite to his father now, weapon and strengths.

    Also fencing as always been linked to nobility, it really fits a future King.

    All the things I really like to do are either illegal, immoral, or fattening. And then: Golf.

    Good thought experiment. It reflects Daida's relative immaturity, and the wisdom of those around him.

    Is Miranjo just evil now, or was she always evil? Good question, and I'm confident that the series will delve into that in more detail in due time.

    Looks like we're getting our first honest to goodness shounen battle arc. I'm most excited about how the underworld king wants to essentially beat the victor to 'steal' the kingdom, whatever that means! Obviously the captain is conflicted about it.

    episode 12:

    Ooof, I'm glad the recap only lasted 5 minutes. Was about to skip the whole episode ...

    These guys are a fun bunch. The defeated guy seems to be the son of that crazy king Boji met on his journey, right? With the snakes reviving him, that's an ally for Boji right there!

    The knight armor dude is kinda lame though. He either kills you without effort, or, probably, he will be defeated easily via some trick weakness. No way to fight him fair and square.

    Very excited for the clash!

    That armor guy(girl ? haha) is the anti-boji. He strikes every weaknesses to leave the oponent helpless on the brink of death, all for enjoyment/pleasure.
    Battle of styles and prowess to come. Will Boji win ?

    "Strikes"? Looked like magic to me. No physical contact at all.

    Amen.

    So they mentioned that the no. 1 king always picked the same item and went missing or crazy; boar dance king was both missing and crazy, so it makes sense he was the number 1 at some point.

    I like the bandit king most out of these ruffians. He provided our exposition this episode, and has his thinking cap on.

    Miranjo just hates the Bosse kingdom for some reason?
