Tougen Anki Episode 10 Expands Kishin Mythos, Draws Praise for Animation and Critique of Tropes

Early reviews highlight striking visuals as they flag heavy-handed writing and one-note villainy.

Overview

  • The episode explores Shiki’s lineage as a Child of Kishin and introduces a limited, element-based inheritance system for that power.
  • A tense showdown with Tsubakiri anchors the story, with an emotional moment involving Mei driving a pivotal shift without resolving key stakes on-screen.
  • Sequences at the Momotaro Agency reestablish the organization’s threat and underline portrayals of corruption and instability.
  • Reviewers commend the animation and visual delivery, while criticizing extended villain monologues and familiar shōnen hero rhetoric.
  • Episode 10 is streaming on Netflix, availability is also reported on Crunchyroll, and Episode 11 is scheduled for September 19 in Japan with wider streaming to follow, with some platforms only expected per reports.
