Hakuouki Hekketsuroku episode 7

In the dark grey world that was my day today there was a slight silver lining. Russell was voted off Survivor. Oh yeah SPOILERS!!! XD Of course there is always a chance that he can win his spot back on but for now…HAHAHAHA!!! I laugh in his face and at his misery. Surely a great day in Survivor.

But yeah folks. Other than that today was super bad. Like…send prayer/ good thoughts to my family. And me because obviously no one wants to tell me anything and the not knowing makes it worse. YAY FAMILY!!!

One big happy family.

But in other OTHER news it is time to blog anime. Because when one has a crappy/serious day the best thing to do is watch an anime where the body count is high. GO ME. Spoilers for Hakuouki Hekketsuroku episode 7. More so people getting shot and stuff.

BEHOLD I AM AMAZING!!!!

Episode Summary: Saito arrives in Aizu and is greatly warmly by some Lord. Important dude. He tells Saito that he will give him command of some people and off Saito goes. The leader of these men Masaki is not impressed that Saito is wearing western clothing and has his sword on the wrong side. He tells Saito he does not respect him and won’t protect him or his men. Amazing. Saito says a few words but allows the loser to live. In the next battle Saito kicks ass while Masaki fails to do much. Saito calls for a retreat though and Masaki orders his men to stay which leads to needless deaths. Saito stays behind to protect Masaki and his men as they finally retreat. Hijikata and Chizuru finally make it to Aizu where they are briefed on the situation. Masaki apologizes to Saito about insulting his ways and now trusts in Saito.

Everyone is happy Hijikata is back and there is strategy talk. Saito leads the men in an important battle but again there is losing. This time Masaki and his men decide to stay behind so Saito and the new recruits can escape. Masaki says his warrior spirit wants him to live on. Back at base Hijikata and Saito are pissed to learn that there is a general retreat and that they are going to let Aizu fall. Hijikata has his hands tied and has to go. Sannan offers to go on ahead since he knows people and he is followed as he is probably being a creepier. Saito decides to stay behind in Aizu as the warrior spirit is strong here and he has been left the responsibility to protect the Lord. Hijikata is like MOG everyone keeps dying and Chizuru cries. Saito is last seen running towards the enemy who have shiny guns and he does not. THE END!!!

Saito is alive time to end the series!

Well scrape me off the floor people. Saito is still alive at the end of this episode. I did not see that coming.

He is hot with all his man pride though...

Of course the first five seconds of the next episode he will resume an evil mascot creating magical girls with the amount of holes shot through him but YOU KNOW. For now, on this day of much not happiness, Saito is alive.

BUT I AM STILL ANGRY AT HIM!

Like…..Okita sorta HAD to die to protect the greater good and Harada died protecting a lot of people. Saito had TIME to go away from the danger and he stayed behind on a suicide mission because of some man pride. I mean Saito is my favorite but he does have the most man pride out of the whole bunch. Which should make him my least favorite but we make it work folks. We make it work.

How many times can you say a phrase in 22 minutes?! X__X

But dude. I think warrior spirit was said 1290 times in this episode. Mulan still wins with the word honor being said over 2532545 in the movie. Really I used to know as I did a report on the movie/poem but this now comes in second place.

Which I guess is nice. One would say that people need more honor nowadays. But then people take it to the extreme and strap bombs to themselves or go on futile protection missions all in the sake of honor. It is hard to show your amazingness if you gut yourself for the sake of honor.

So sometimes I am glad I am not a guy and that man pride has not invaded my soul.

The table is getting smaller and smaller....

Now what I am not happy with is that Hijikata is still going on and on about Kondou and does not mention Okita AT ALL! Like oh I have to lead troops now but I will not tell the (dwindling) others that their friend is dead.

So basically...bye dude?

Nor does Hijikata get upset that Saito is basically going on a suicide mission. He almost had a meltdown when Kondou decided to stay behind. This time he just smiled and was like are you all going to leave me? Maybe he is having a mental breakdown or something. Who knows. JUST NOT IMPRESSED.

I WISH!!! WE ALL WISH!!!

Oh and Sannan is still alive folks. All my hotties are dying and this asshole is still alive. SO VERY HAPPY. And fair. Super fair.

The tribe of pointy hat people apologize for being a group of assholes.

Oh and that Masaki person. Not impressed. How dare he be such an asshole to Saito. What if Saito was left handed? Who cares what side of his body he wears his swords on when he is kicking that much ass. And hello if he says your armor will slow you down LISTEN! Just no. Not impressed with his assholeness, his sudden turn around, and his need to die when everyone could have escaped.

Are you all in the 5th grade or something?!?!?

But it was slightly scary when Saito escaped with a bunch of 15 year olds. X__X

So in conclusion I really thought Saito was going to die. And chances are he will since there is one of him and about 478357 of everyone else. But maybe, just maybe when Chizuru and Hijikata are the last two standing we will see Saito in some quiet village missing an arm and looking up at the sky. I has the hope people.

This post contains not one ounce of historical facts because I has none. Deal with it.
