We open with Zanki and his apprentice, Todoyama continuing to fight the bull-porcupine and the smaller porcupine makamou. Todoama just isn't ready for combatting the big ones yet it seems.

Bizarre filming style as Asumu, his mother, and Hibiki chat. Todoyama basically has no faith in himself taking Zanki's place. And Zanki thinks Todoyama relies on him too much. He doesn't appear to be wrong.

Hibiki's out dispensing some mentory advice to Asumu, glad that Asumu's been inspired by him to succeed. Asumu, meanwhile wants to be Hibiki's apprentice, but isn't really sure...

And continuing with the mentor student theme, we have Ibuki telling Akira that training as an Oni as a youngster killed his social life and he doesn't want the same to happen to her.

And apparently Oni have an "End of the year party", which sounds amazing. I'll always like how monster hunting's just an occupation in Hibiki. A secret one, but still.

Todoyama's going at it against the Makamou again. This time alone, and he's pretty badass at it! His rocking out managed to destroy the makamou and he finally graduates as an apprentice.

So the Oni names aren't their real names. Makes sense. I guess the Rider's real names aren't generally important. Their rider names must be based around their real names though, considering how Todoyama's now...Todoroki!

Ah, the opening changed a bit to show Ibuki and Todoroki more. Pretty cool.

Akira finally shows up in school and Asumu decides to help her get settled in. Looks like it made Hitomi a bit jealous though.

Makamou are generally really creepy. But the man one wearing that cheesy fake mustache was hilarious. but they're still pulling some dangerous stuff now that they're finally moving from the countryside to the big city.

Apparently Oni's weapons run on things called Oni particles. huh...well at least with their weaponry, there's some tech involved. Sort of? I'm not gonna put much thought into it. At any rate, Hibiki's drumsticks can make fire swords now! which is cool.

Ibuki goes out shopping for new clothes with Kasumi's assistance. He seems pretty indecisive.

So the man and woman makamou are out in the city, feeding people to the big monsters, while their mysterious leader looks on...

And now Todoroki is inheriting Zanki's gear, not wanting to besmirch his master's legacy. Tea Master then grills him on liking his daughter, to which Todoroki has the standard nervous, but still funny, reaction.

Hitomi and Akira seem to have worked out their differences and become friends, while Asumu, who doesn't have much to do in this episode, gets hit in the head by a basketball.

Ibuki's out flirting with Kasumi when he notices the man and woman makamou (Douji and Hibime, I've got their names down now!) generally acting creepy. Them being in a big city is a first, I'm exited to see where this goes. The disc animals are already on the case.

Akira ditches school to help out Ibuki, so looks like Asumu might have to cover for her.

Man, this fight scene between Ibuki and the Makamou is awesome, they're really getting better and better with each episode.

The new giant Makamou has a really unique design too. It's like some kind of giant carnivorous spiky eggplant.
