| Mind blown. Totally had no idea what Inari was trying to do until I read this thread. Thank god Myoue isn't as dense as me. |
| The priest mentioned Inari's reincarnation, interesting. So, is Koto Inari A, and Inari is, well, Inari B? Yase got her memory back, apparently. I hope this subplot will be utilized in a useful way instead of just putting Yase to the side in order to give other characters enough time. Wooden crosses at the end were probably not random. My earlier observation regarding the cradle was correct, yay! Inari is not the bad guy. Think of this show on an individual basis (Myoue). Inari is still trying to save Myoue. Though he "saved" him by replacing his heart, as the last episode showed, Myoue still rejected this second chance at life; Inari created a brother and sister for Myoue, but Myoue never accepted their love, and instead selfishly shut himself off from everyone. Still trying to save Myoue, Inari gave over his ability to create, hoping that Myoue would use it to reincarnate himself, but Myoue, still denying life refused to, creating the stasis of the Capital. This is why everyone was tired, the monk brother, Inari, they kept trying to save Myoue, but the simple fact is that unless someone wants to live nothing you can do can save them. Inari's last gambit was to use Koto to destroy the universe, what good is the world if people can't be saved (not only is this a buddhist thought, but it is also in the Kabblah and Christian gnosticism)? This is what Inari meant when he told Bunny Koto that he would explain later: Inari knows exactly what he is doing: everything was done to get Myoue to use the power to create a new universe, one where Myoue would want to live. So far from Inari being selfish, he is actually willing to sacrifice everything, including himself, to save Myoue. ... Kentaku said: Oh, and why is Inari so small? Most likely because he gave most of his power (the ability to create) to Myoue. My memory is a bit taxed right now, so please point out things that I am missing or mis-remembered something, but I am pretty sure the reason Momma_Koto had to leave was because the Shrine required it. The master said that the monitoring device on her had been destroyed. Why she was banished to the moon I think was a joke, in Japan the "man in the moon" is a "Rabbit Pounding Mochi cakes" (this is also why Sailor Moon had a Rabbit (in Japanese Usagi) connection. Also recall that when the Mirror began to collapse she said "it wasn't me", implying that she had thought this as well. Great insight as always. I love how Inari's sword functions as a key because it's also used to travel between different worlds. P.S. That Shrine maiden just left without the head priest lol. |

| Inari always did give me creepy vibes so I'm not surprised that he's not exactly the good guy here. But he does seem to a method to his madness, so we'll see how all of this ends. |
Rebelhero said: So man things are happening so quickly! I cant keep up! It doesn't help that i put this episode off for about a month. I just didn't want it to end! =[ Lets see how the finale goes. I hope i dont cry. Way too many things happening at once. |
| There's a lot I really enjoy about this show, but it's just going completely off-the-rails plotwise now. From the haphazard explanation of the end-of-the-universe plot point (that should have been more than just foreshadowed well before this) to Inari just casually declaring himself as God without any context, all the way to the insane decision to transform the main character into a literal plot device, it's all just a series of baffling writing decisions that I can't wrap my head around. Also, I get that Inari is basically a sociopath (as has been obvious ever since the first Yakushimaru flashback), but I don't get why he'd do all of this just for Myoue/Yakushimaru. Selfishly bringing him back to life and granting him immortality when he didn't want it was one thing, but trying to destroy all of reality to make him act is bafflingly selfish and irresponsible even by Inari's standards. Why force all of this onto Myoue rather than letting him decide for himself the life he wants to live and the fate he wants? |
| Something about trying to help someone suicidal? You want to die and leave everyone behind so I will get rid of everyone so you could live in another world seems like a not so good lesson about the importance of life or maybe I just don't get this. |
| Mixed up feelings and well not really a good idea. This kind of things are bring the story line out of nowhere. Moments are build-up well but the story seems blurry. This should be a Drama Fantasy, not Action for real. |
