Are you satisfied with how strong the Council of Swordsman (or at least just Nichirin) are?
If anything they've exceeded my expectations!! Part of me knew that if ONE gave them a whole chapter to be introduced earlier in the story, then surely they would be at least somewhat important to the upcoming fight. Especially since they were introduced as people our favorite "I only acknowledge the strong" samurai guy sought to consult after fearing that Bang may not be able to take down his own student.
Spoilers below:
I am of course a little sad that Zanbai died, and in such a brutal fashion too!!! ;^;. He was honestly my favorite of the group, I was looking forward to seeing more of him and his Buddhist monk aesthetic. But I guess SOMEONE needed to die to show just how deadly FU has become. Dude really showed up to help his buddy out and then paid the ultimate price :(((
I hope Amahare and Nichirin survive, what kind of council only has one member?? OR maybe they don't and that becomes one of the biggest factors as to why AS goes to challenge King in such a pushy manner HMMMMMM
Also a little off topic but I do love how Nichirin's slashes look like rain...,
