I'm not going to bother trying to recap my thought on this episode. I really don't care too much about whether or not they're sticking to the manga. I really only care how often I see my faves, especially Sanada. Yeah, I'm a horrible, horrible fangirl. You knew this, yes?
I will, however, say this: People are trying to steal Sanada's moves. First the slap (yeah, who doesn't?) and then attempting to use a chestnut to break Mifune's headband. Too bad he doesn't wear one. ALSO I'm glad to have Niou and his perception back. Pupina~ <3 <3 <3
Ready for a Sanada overload? I certainly am.
Oh Man all the heavy breathing in Shinpuri. I cannot look away.
AH. Caught red-handed.
Gratuitous fukubuchou flashback.
This is...Sanada? And those are...his shorts? heh
Swift like the wind.
Mmm-hmm.
Sanada, two chestnuts.
Again with the pretty.
His tennis and patience are improving because of this camp. <3
Your chestnuts do not impress Sanada.
Those chestnuts impress Sanada.
Mouth closed. Silent.
Mouth open. Saying things.
Gratuitious leg shot.
Sanada amazes even himself.
Acceptance of his new-found skills comes quickly.
Done. Off to kick some ass.
You know what this means, right guys?
DAMN STRAIGHT.
His fingertips are on the brim!
Wait for it. Wait for it!
ohmygodohmygodohmygod
//DEAD
...you know, I don't even like Echizen but I think he needed this. Sanada heals all wounds, rights all wrongs.
. . .
So. His hat's claimed it's rightful place. Still damn hot.
Somehow this surprises Sanada.
The real leader of the Revolutionary Brigade.
Seriously, look at that face. That hair. THOSE EYELASHES.
Okay. So ShinPuri 009: Pretty Damn Good.
