I enjoyed this arc more than the Benizukura one though I suspect I am in the minority. The fights scenes were a bit different and there was a good balance of drama and comedy (except the episode where Kondo pooped while walking – that killed any and all tension). Kyuubei didn’t really get fleshed out as a character till the end of the arc and I hope to see more of her. I was legitimately intrigued at the prospects of Otae x Kyuubei and while it wasn’t to be the lap pillow moment was a nice consolation prize.
