I can get why Eiko considered picking up the phone. When someone is trying to contact you two different ways at once then sort of just shut themselves in their room it can get confusing on what they are doing. Fairly tense moment for something so seemingly simple.

Wait hold up Ai just leaves and they dont give her anything that might help with the issue of any ghost that attacks her it gets deflected onto other people near her? No checking her travel path to make sure she doesnt pass bad haunted locations?

I dont know about that plan. Since the god is pretty defiant so it would seem naive to think the god would be cooperative as a mortal's spirit.

Most the humour in this show has been more just silliness not particularly funny but Yayoi turning to stone at the mention of school work had me laugh with the timing.

Nice to see Yayoi actually show some vulnerability and care toward Keitaro. I get that her unemotive demeaner is meant to make her herself creepy to viewers sometimes but I feel it is overused and makes her seem too unstoppable where it makes it hard to worry for her which actually takes away from horror elements.

The god is the one deflecting the ghosts, so they can't really do anything about that.

In what episode do the Jizo statues that create the Jizo graduate appear, because I don't remember anything about them.

I was thinking along the lines of repelling ghosts from her before that would happen. Though they are attracted to her because the power of God too so not sure if they have a way to overrule that much force.

They didn't show any of that. Nothing in the manga either.

I was thinking that was something that happened before or off camera.

So that's the process of making a Graduate class spirt and to think Yayoi already has 3 Graduates prior to the start of the series, and she even killed a god in the past?! This kid is insane.

Hmmm I remember that time Keitaro made the face of enjoying fear, haven't seen that for a while I thought they would explore that a bit more.

That's a huge leap directly to S rank and how strong is that specter that took her mom anyway don't say that its even stronger than a God.
@RawrOMG Well tbf those ranking is base on online forum posts / normal people who went there, so they may not be all accurate.
The danger level is base on how serious the incident happened there, not how strong they are XD

Yayoi is such a mysterious girl that I still can't help but wonder if she's reincarnated especially now that she said she's defeated a god (wth?). Beyond that it was interesting how a graduate forms and her thinking she needs 6 of them to take down the god that's tormenting Ai. Sounds like lots of adventures ahead.

When Keitaro offered to take Yayoi anywhere she wanted I think Keitaro (and myself) thought that she would pick a place to get some food and/or dessert like a parfait and not delve right into a haunted area right away lol. Btw, it's nice that she thinks of him more than bait, I figured she'd say a good friend but a partner is also good (like a spirit fighting partner I suppose).

If Yayoi tell you it's coming and get out, you better make a run for it as fast as possible. Don't be like Keitarou and ask questions. JUST GO!

So now they've got their plan of action, it seems that yayoi was pretty prepared for this. Since she already beat another evil god once so she just needs one more special spirit now, and now their next target to be an S rank haunted spot

The graduates are insane and that was a close call for Eiko, I wonder what the others are like and hearing them consume each other was beyond freaky.

That touching moment between Keitaro and Yayoi was wholesome just to get thrown right back into the fray lol good luck Keitaro, because from what I seen in the ep trailers you’re going to need it.

Yayoi has the ultimate plan. She’s already defeated a god, made 5 more graduates, and is, at most, 12 years old? Now they have to juggle school AND travel across their entire country? Time doesn’t seem to be an issue in this story…Well, I guess they have until blondie is 20. I really want to read the manga but it’s still ongoing.

Great episode. I am loving we are now into the meat of the things. I may have to send an email about the subs at the end as I think that was a typo.
I haven't updated in years but now I have changed that. I'll be free soon.

Oh shit look at how they all graduated. Good master let her pet gets loose and be graduating, almost killing Eiko if Keitaro not moving his hand fast.

Well anyway, name of the last boss has been reveal. Spectre of the Death. Yayoi also owned the three other graduates which looks very cool by the shadow its all created, and one transcended jizo spirit with the same way like the others. Oh wow.

Three of em' can take down the dang god. But Yayoi needs one more to capture the lolicon god? Sounds good, my child, keep em' coming. Still, i can't believe how Yayoi lead the sweet bike riding moment onto the beginning of another freaky adventure ahead. Yayoi doing Yayoi thing there. Lets ghost!

The war between Ai's god against spirits and humans have begun, and it's an uphill battle.

In Yayoi's room, there's much turmoil as the strong consume the weak, until there's only one left: a Graduate, whom the spirit calls them, and Yayoi has no choice but to subdue it because of their lengthened influences, charting them down a new path. Starting with the purification of Ai and Yayoi's room, Ai has to rush back for her brother's memorial service in Kyoto, while both Keitaro and Yayoi are thankful that Ai's god is the competitive type. The original plan to subdue the Spectre of Death , now went awry by Ai's god, Yayoi has to acquire more spirits to superimpose back the spirit of her room, and a single Graduate is not enough, not barring those encountered before.

This brings the trio on a trip all across Japan on a tour catching spirits and turning them into Graduates, with the one stone killing the two birds of Ai's god and the Spectre of Death. Lessons thereafter, Yayoi and Keitaro take a breather, though only now she thanks him for all the work and sacrifice from a bait to a partner. And as thanks, going to an unknown place, the opportunity presents itself as a good one, being an S-ranked danger spot.

Bad feelings, running through the veins...

This seems like a really good set up for a creature collector RPG lol.
@vadoyager7 Right! The system this show has set up to explain ghosts, their heirarchy, and behavior is really interesting.

We going nationwide now, and now they facing S rank and above ghosts, then all of the haunted places the trio went might be around A or B rank only. I'm worried for Keitarou's mental state when that happens lol.

With that "graduate" ghost contained it looks like they'll be able to move onto Yayoi's plan of capturing more, but it does seem like they have quite the road ahead of them.
Even with the ghost's she has remaining, the journey they've got to go on seems like its going to be a tough one.

Nice, it feels finally the real start, now they're going to defeat so many spirits across the country and collect the better one in the end by making them as strong as possible with the other ones, interesting! Already starting with a S-rank one xD

If it takes 100 injured ghosts to get absorbed until you get a graduate, Yayoi and Keitaro must really be clearing out the ghost population of Japan! It really feels like the plot is moving with purpose now!
