「決戦の地」 (Kessen no ChiKessen no Chi)
“To the Final Battleground”

Mizukami’s writing style is very much “waste not, want not”.

「千魔混沌を巡って」 (Sen Ma Konton o Megutte)
“In Pursuit of the Thousandfold Chaotic Menagerie”

Shinsuke is this story’s quiet man, but that doesn’t lessen his importance one iota.

「千夜の八年」 (Sen’ya no Hachi-nen)
“Senya’s Eight Years”

In a sense, Mizukami can write plot-driven stories that act like character-driven stories (and that’s a unicorn-caliber talent).

「千夜と神雲」 (Sen’ya to Jinun)
“Senya and Jinun”

Stop crying and fight your father!

「古恩」 (Furuon)
“Furuon”

Senya seems well and truly alone even when he’s with his friends and allies.

「旅の終わり」 (Tabi no Owari)
“End of a Journey”

And so another arc, another phase of the story begins.

「雲の上まで」 (Kumo no Ue made)
“Above the Clouds”

Mizukami is an all-rounder in a way few mangaka are.

「時, 来たるべく来る」 (Toki, Kitarubeku Kitaru)
“When the Time Comes”

Do great arcs mean great characters? Not always I suppose, though Senya certainly is.

「千夜と月湖」 (Sen’ya to Tsukiko)
“Senya & Tsukiko”

This Ashikaga at least comes off a lot better than his forebear does in that other show.

「荒れ都の狂神」 (Are Miyako no Kyou-shin)
“Mad God of the Wild City”

Another week, another grand entrance.
