I'm glad I'm watching this. This is so intense. Her craziness is purely believable.

what the fuck...

How exactly did Motako's son die? Did he just starve to death because his mother went crazy and wouldn't let him leave the room? Was I supposed to know who Motako was prior to this episode?

This anime is so depressing. ;-;

He was bitten by a shiki. You can see the marks on his ankle before his mom takes him into the tub.

It doesn't work like some kind of snake bitten wound. If you could keep someone from being bitten again, they won't die then turn. I'm guessing he died by starvation or something since she's batshit so it would make sense to make it a rule for not ever leaving the tub.

Finally this episode answered my question of who started that stupid big fire in the village.

9/10 for both these episodes.

The moment her son's scalpel was revealed ... that got me.
Sad seeing such a caring housewife go into madness, understandable though.

Motoko :(

What a memorable minor character was Motoko. She basically destroyed an entire town that was already destroyed. All of this happened because of that damn old man.
Both specials are both worth re-watching for next year's Halloween. Even though I watched Shiki a few days before Christmas.

enjoyed the fuck outta her crazyness tbh, this was not as amazing an episode as the first special but different enough that it was amazing in its own right.

I feel kinda like a douche for laughing at the last 3 min or so. Nevertheless poor Motoko :[

Man, oh man. I think this was my favorite episode of all of Shiki. Just seeing the overprotective mom lose it is worth more than 24 mins! When the boy's scalp slid off, her barely there reaction, and how she tells Kanami "He melted in my arms" like it's not big deal was amazing stuff.

Then seeing how she was there for everything yet no one notices her is even better.

It was messed up how she ratted on Kanami, though. I don't think Kanami would have forgiven her even if she survived. I'm sorta glad we don't see her mom get staked, she was genuinely one of the few good shikis and I liked what that implied.

Mokoto starting that fire, smiling, as she melted to death... Pure gold; truly a memorable scene.

Too bad we never got to see kuso baba die, that bitch needed an on-screen death! (I can't tell if it was as shiki death or not either.) Same with Mokoto's husband.

Motoko started the fire!!!

Joking aside, I felt bad for her as her children were the only thing she had and when they were gone, she had nothing left while everyone else around her did. I wonder if we go back to watch the anime, we’ll see her walking around prior to the fire?

An OVA about a crazy woman who actually started the fire in episode 22.

I wonder if that old lady eventually killed by the villagers...

So it seems there's no continuation from ep 22. Shame...

Damn I'm so disappointed to see that she's the reason the forest was set on fire. I still don't know how her son died, he only got bitten once so he should have gotten better.

She really had no luck with her family but how did she let her son die like that? He looked pretty healthy when they started sitting there. Did he say nothing while starving to death? And how did she survive like that until he starts to rot? xD

The only part I disliked was when she told them that Kanami's mother rose. She was one of the few good shikis... :/
non of the shiki was bad non of them changed in personality or anything


OMFG THIS!!!! How are people blind to not see this in comments. My brain cells die literally when people say shiki bad, like bruh they literally the same people just with different body! How in the fucking hell they cheer on villagers as they kill their loved ones

Ah, so that's how the fire began. I didn't really care too much about Motoko. She's the kind of mother that I find annoying. Also, she's such a bitch for snitching on Kanami when she's already coexisting with her mother. I'm glad to see Motoko burn in the end.

I thought she was the reason why Akira survived. I wonder why Iwao spared him.
Anyway, I enjoyed what screen time Kanami and Yoshie had. They are both hot, especially Yoshie, with her hair down. I want to screw them both!

Man, these Specials were simply fantastic. The way such a minor character like Motoko was written was excellent.

Also 1+ for the episode actually making me squirm when Motoko's son's scalp was removed. Goddamn...
