Anime News Network reviews episode 6 of The Elusive Samurai Season 2, "The Boy Who Became a God." The episode introduces Yoritsugu, the grandson of Yorishige, as a chaotic child who brings comedy after weeks of war strategizing. The review praises CloverWorks' animation and notes the episode is lighter on drama. The episode holds a community score of 3.8 and streams on Crunchyroll.
Tokiyuki's uncut hair reads as a symbol of the childhood innocence he has not yet cast off, a threadline the episode expects to grow. The comedy is built on Tokiyuki's suffering, with Yoritsugu crying, scheming, and kicking. The episode is one of the most thrilling of the second season so far, despite the lighter tone.
