Figured it made sense to put my Thoughts on the episode here.

In the beginning, I love how it directly pointed out the battle with the Hero Faction took place after race and before this season, further implying events of v7 did actually happen properly. Sadly we don't get to see it.

I enjoy witnessing a characters full appearance that wasn't shown in the NL, I can assume that shades was Connla using his SG to preform Hado No. 90: Kurohitsugi XD. That being said, Yasaka was stunning as hell, I can almost picture how Kunou will grow up to look.

To me, all of Kyoto kinda appears like a big convention for a supernatural series, but I love that about it. It was nice seeing more Kitsune as well as the Youkai central full of other creatures, like a where's Waldo scene of "Who's that Youkai".

It was funny seeing them trying to mate within a confined space with difficulty. While Irina's Halo was a nice touch, I would've still liked to see how her wings would flicker too.

Matsuda and Motohama getting beat up yet still happy about it killed me, like a "We wen't through hell and failed, but have no regrets and would through it again and again" scenario.

For Kunou's design, her eyes initially gave me the impression of a Kuudere, I liked how her is sorta messy and her fox cub form was also a nice touch.
