In this episode we are introduced to Aka and Ibara who are tasked with exterminating Ara-Mitama rather than pacifying them. Aka has the ability to use Black Magic to absorb the Ata-Mitama's power and make it his own. The use of Black Magic comes at a cost as shown in the after credit scene.

I don't know why I'm surprised. This is exactly what you should expect from Studio Blanc. Garbage anime.

Aka was really cool. I wish the show would feature him and his company as main protagonists. He's much more interesting than Yukito. And it would reduce Jingi's screentime, which is always a good thing!

One good episode after all. And the introduction of the main characters is finished too. Let's see what the real plot has in store now.

the episode as a whole was mediocrely bad like the others, but I can't help finding some cheesy charm in Aka. what a Vampire Knight-ass character. the 2006 vibes are off the charts here

at this point we would do anything for less Jingi screen time XD

Episode was basically just a character introduction and an introduction to the idea of bad magic. Otherwise, it was okay. Red-haired person had lipstick. Gender.

While pacifying mitama using ley mastery is preferred using other means such as firearms with magic bullets makes sense when there is a high population density. Especially since first island has so many tourists not use to the way of the islands. Not eliminating the threat quickly is not an option. However, black magic seems dangerous and could easily spin out of control.

I wish there was a proper training arc for Yukito. Perhaps there is one on the way, but we went from him being clueless to performing his kagebunshin no jutsu without any real explanation. There was a brief scene of him meditating in a garden, but that was it.

I can't stop thinking that Aka actually looks like a character from Diabolik Lovers lol. Though I admit that at least he's a, well, pretty cool character here. I just hope that he doesn't die by his own actions.

It's quite a few times now that Yukito has faced a monster after unexpectedly being left alone, then to be saved in a crucial moment by someone arriving.

Bro I can't be the only one who doesn't like Jingi right? How did this dude become a Ley Master? He's supposed to be protecting Yukito, but he runs off whenever an Ara-Mitama appears. And then that security guy just let him through where the Ara-Mitama is? Wtf is the Ayaka security LOL

Aka seems like a nice guy until they argued about the extermination of the monsters. I guess he became jaded due to the master dieing or maybe he lost the power to purify during the beginning. The black magic don't look good, it might be him being one of the boss he need to fight in the future... Jingi is the biggest troll as usual. MC is being the typical marysue MC arguing for the monsters and running in to danger when he can't even use his powers properly lmao. I hope we get to see more of Ibuki's crew.

Yukito descends onto First Island with Jingi, thought the experience is like Spirited Away for newcomers. Though Jingi claims to take care of Yukito, an Ara-Mitama claims an entertainer's instrument, though he encounters Aka Ibuki, who hasn't seen him in 10 years.

Entering Aka's business of GOZ, Jingi was there cooking his way through and not caring about Yukito. An Ara-Mitama showing up at a tourist attraction must be quelled, but Aka exterminates them as opposed to pacifying them. But the fact remains that outsiders are not limited to Ley Energy, which Ara-Mitama have the potential to attack innocent people once again. And though Haru and Aka were once both Yukito's father's students, they have their own issues to deal with. Facing the main Ara-Mitama body, Aka's Black Magic, is pretty much like one K character, though he claims that he wants to be stronger than the dragon.

What is exactly the plot here now?

I'm amazed by the lack of focus this anime has: it doesn't know if its target audience is men or women with visuals that clash with the plot, it doesn't know if it wants to be a laid back slice of life or action-packed contemporary fantasy, it doesn't know which message it's trying to be a metaphor for or if there's even one to begin with

In the end, it's just a huge mess
