In that case I suspected you're either speculating or confusing yourself (or its just me in the wrong). First, she was already a criminal bear before meeting Lulu for reasons unknown (source: herself in Ep.4 I think). After she crossed the wall she apparently commited more (like you are saying and we saw something in Ep. 5/6, can't remember exactly).

This is where bad writing may be at play. The last two episodes made it clear that the crime Ginko mentioned to Lulu was allowing Sumika to be eaten. So either the writer forgot that he had Ginko mention this to Lulu, or he spent roughly 40 minutes of this animation wasting our time, or there is something behind the seeming error. Because I respect the writer I am assuming the latter, I think this assumption is supported because there have been two of these (the first is between Ginko and Lulu, the second is between Kureha and Yurika).

As for Kureha's feelings. I agree that we don't know what they are exactly, but we do know that she felt something and is extremely puzzled that she forgot what it was. This is why I don't think repression is a work, she wants to remember, but something is keeping her from remembering. I had noted that a couple of episodes ago, but then I thought that perhaps Yurika was responsible, with Yurika dead it leaves only the court with the seeming ability to do it.

Unless said in Episode 9 (which I couldn't watch and don't know when I'll be able to)

Ah, that explains it. You need to watch 9, it was pivotal in many ways.

I don't think correct theories is anything to be proud of or to boast on. Are you actually learning something or improving yourself over it? This is something I ask myself when I see all the fandom and discussion in anime boards.

First, I like to theorize because it is fun. I like trying to figure out where a story is going. I have often been utterly wrong, but I don't get upset at being wrong: either it means that writer did something better, so I appreciate their talent more, or it means that they did something worse, and at least I have my imagination to comfort me from watching a bad show.

Second I do it because it causes me to pay more attention than I otherwise would. Again this increases my appreciation of the talent of a good writer. So in short I do it because its enjoyable.

Third I love to argue with people. I write here because I hope people will prove me wrong. This would 1) prove that people love animation as much as I do, and 2) only through being wrong can someone actually learn something. I WANT people to come up with a better theory, its the only way I can grow. So ground my face in something I overlooked, far from being better I would actually thank the person for doing it. Its boring to be right.

The usual 3½-line mini-synopsis for Episode 10 has recently been posted here:
http://yurikuma.jp/story.html

Last week, they showed us four still images when the mini-synopsis was posted.
This week, there aren't any images, so far. Based on previous weeks, they may
post some still images there closer to the time that the episode airs.

The title of Episode 10 is simple and easy to translate:

I don't think it is a plot spoiler to let you know that one of the characters who will
play a significant role in Episode 10 is somebody familiar:

Those of you who are offended by the sexualization of Yurikuma characters in
licensed merchandise should probably not look at this news story in Animate.TV
announcing cellphone straps soon going on sale showing Kureha, Ginko and Lulu:
http://www.animate.tv/news/details.php?id=1426059326

In Occultangle's translation of the conversation among the three main voice
actresses in Episode 8.5, Kureha complained that there was no merchandise of
her. But this time, Kureha is listed first. Possibly, her phonestrap looks the best.

Guys, i understood from this ep when kureha in the first three episode says "...Tōmei na Arashi o sagasu", becuase now she is in the invisible storm and it means that she is searching something!

It looks like they're almost there... for that is sexy, shaba-da-doo.

Also MANY hints at the idea of the Court of Severance being the main villains(as well as confirmation to them being the male otaku viewers that "enforce" what is sexy and what is cool in yuri, etc).

Very insightful observation

It's pretty sad that during her last moments, Yuriika mistook Kureha for Reia. That's how alike they were.
