Nice story I guess but I'd already filled in her backstory with Inuki in my imagination. At least we're closer to knowing two other characters even if the plot isn't really moving anywhere yet.

This was just an extended version of the brief flashback we already got in a previous episode (footage this episode replays as well!). Sure it was more sophisticated with a story that seems to end happily for Yuzuriha only to suddenly reverse and having that girl who's friendly to Yuzuriha for the whole episode only to also not believe her in the end but it doesn't actually accomplish more than the short flashback did and with the series approaching the mid-point and considering how minor Yuzuriha has been so far I question the idea of giving an entire episode to redundantly go over her backstory like this.

This episode focused on bringing us the whole story of Yuzuriha and Inuki. It's a nice story, but the main point is her encounter with Kusanagi.

I thought for sure Kusanagi was going to be the Uncle they were supposed to meet. I'm guessing he has some role though, he's shown up too many times at this point.

Yuzuriha's backstory was fine, if anything Inuki should've bit those little kids for being little shits. That'd prove he existed.
"...Is your mother worried? Would you like us to assign someone to worry your mother?"

Very great episode. This is the peak of character driven story telling.

We see Nekoi's flashbacks and Kusanagi's great support. Kinda sad that the children betray her at the end even though she tried her best to help.

Inuki's such a great dog for being able to leap so well and swim so well to rescue the boys.

and yeah the apocalypse. it's great to see how the end of the world is looked as a grim aspect.

Without change,we end up becoming the very person we hate.


I was dead until the moment I met you. I was a powerless corpse pretending to be alive. Living without power, without the ability to change my course, was bound to lead me to a slow death.
