I ♥ Two Syaorans from Tsubasa RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE and TRC!!! |
| Riku is back, but since his betrayal against Kirinmaru, his objective of collecting the Rainbow Pearls is still the same. Setsuns is revived with Towa's Tenseiga, but she is left alone while Setsuna and Moroha finds the Kyuyokon root from Bokusen-Oh. Moroha is still being cheap by bringing lesser than ideal demon remains to Jyuubei, which always cracks me up a bit. So the demon that knows where to find Bokusen-Oh turns out to be the Sea Snake Woman, a Medusa-like demon spirit that curses women with long, beautiful hair. No wonder both women and children must cover their hair when they are out near the sea. Towa immediately sensing the danger along with Hisui and the other demon slayers to the rescue (plus Riku hiding from behind), and Takechiyo makes a temporary good shield. Towa is smart to wear sunglasses, and it looks awkwardly funny. Now'd be a good chance to test the blade and bring this to a close with the red string of fate. Kinda a cruel fate to protect people from drowning, get killed by the one you love, and as revenge, turned everyone into stone. This journey shall continue to find the Kyuyokon root. |

| Why did the sea demon expect the man to know that she was the sea snake lmao |
| "he has it big as a cactus but he won't let go of my head and I puke on his cock bitch" - Boy by Fishball |
| Wait how tf did he know they were going to be looking for the root next? Plot of the episode today felt pointless since they didn’t even find out where Bokusen Oh was |
 |
| I liked that Setsuna did the intro narration, to switch it up from Towa always doing the intro. I hope it's not just a one time thing. Maybe they can even get Moroha to do it as well when she gets featured more in an episode. Seems they combined several mythos in this episode: Nure-Onna (Sea snake woman targeting people with getting them to them to help her carry a heavy stone-like object)...Medusa (snake hair/turning people into stone)...the ever classic Red String of Fate...and finally with reminiscent story elements of Legend of White Snake, a Chinese folktale where a snake-woman, sometimes dressed as a Buddhist monk, falls in love with a human male, ends up killing him, but are reunited eventually through mutual love. That's all the obvious ones I could see at least. It's also nice that Setsuna can sever the Red String of Fate...because even if something is canon, it'd be hilarious if she just said "nope, not anymore", lol. Overall, a very predictable, but enjoyable episode. |
| Jesus the stupid plot continues "OOPS, we totally forgot the thing we came here to ask in the first place. ANYWAY" *proceeds to leave the area* Towa was cool in the sunglasses at least. xD Looks like we are getting some explanation on Rin next week so that should be neat even if the plot won't move. |
MacchiaStella said: Why did the sea demon expect the man to know that she was the sea snake lmao I don't think she did - She just took that form to conceal herself with the aim of observing him and to check up on his recovery, then was attacked suddenly by the mob which soon included him. 4kicks said: Maybe they can even get Moroha to do it as well when she gets featured more in an episode. Do you seriously still think Moroha has rights in this anime? |
MacchiaStella said: Why did the sea demon expect the man to know that she was the sea snake lmao DING DING DING!!! And if the demon knew that humans thought sea snakes were bad luck, all the more reason to ask why transform into one? Bad writing for this show is back in full effect. |

| so dumb, might as well curse all the women living in Japan - everyone had long hair back in the days 🙄 |

That's all the obvious ones I could see at least. Very nice observations. I only got the Medusa reference. And we're back to monster-of-the-week episodes. I'm a lot more tolerant of these now, since I like these girls and enjoy seeing them messing about. And unlike the first half of the S1, there's a definite quest that feels more important than collecting all the Skittles Rainbow Pearls. Onwards to the next episode. |
| Hmm, she could've disguised herself as some other creature, unless that's the only form she can take? But yeah, stupid humans, especially in the past. They killed so many poor animals because of some stupid belief. |
| Setsuna doing the opening narration instead of Towa? That's new. That demon was obviously inspired by Medusa. I feel like this episode was much better than some of the filler-y episodes of Season 1 but it was still pretty melodramatic. I think this story was obviously trying to push the message of not harming random animals for they might be hot ladies who may be into you. Towa referring to her mother as "Ms. Rin" sounds really off. For her dad, it kinda makes sense for her to call him Sesshomaru. But Rin deserves to be called mother. |
| Pretty generic monster of the week episode, eh. |
| An enemy inspired by Medusa? Alright. This episode really makes me wonder what Riku wants to accomplish. He's like the anti-hero of this series. He's not on either side and has an agenda of his own. |
