Quite an excellent episode!
Didnt' expect that ending to the episode, it feels as if they are wrapping things up - however another 20 odd episodes to go, looking forward to how they develop the Kai/Saya relationship from here.
Hagi seems to be an odd character, in so far as he gets thrashed easily in one fight, then comes back, seemingly with resolve, and proceeds to kick ass, for a short amount of time, till he gets speared (seemingly happens quite often also).
