Blood River Episode 36

Opposing forces clash

Changhe has left Tianqi. He still acknowledges that for now they are still assassin blades fighting as their boss dectermines. He has his subordinate think it’s to gain highest profits. But whatever his real game, he will not be there for the battles taking place tonight. The nobles’ sons have been given the antidote but it seems they must also take out whoever gave them the poison dose or kill them. Night Crow co tinges to be an annoying pain the arse. What I am a bit baffled by is why no one is going after the damn bell that orders the puppets. It seems that would be a useful deterrent in shutting her up. Doc Bai was smart enough to not go along and leave everything to LianYue and Rabbit. Her spiders managed to give golden puppet the antidote and the final battle of mentor/disciple took place with LianYue being ordered to kill his mentor. Night Crow is not happy her star puppet is destroyed, but she is not in the least deterred to continue the battle. Her next three in line are lined up to continue. Rabbit looks to have taken a fatal blow and LianYue proves phoenixes exist in their world. This reminded me of another fight where the sr brother used his best move to end things with an enemy. These battles were well done. The emperor has summoned the Prince of Langya and while he sleeps the Prince knows he has been poisoned again. Both of these eunuchs get on my nerves with their schemes. The search is still on for the final dragon scroll and I wish they knew old geezer eunuch has it. There seems to be equal losses on both sides but the stakes are very high in this city and the cost quite high. This episode brought back the Lianyue from earlier episodes. He has proven himself to his mentor and his love along with himself. He finally accepts the role he has to play and demonstrates his real skills.
