Tactics 16

Ooo, scary opening - buahahahaha. Looks like I haven't recovered from yesterday's shock. But really, it seems like the "shootage" is getting scarier and scarier. I suspect: a change of director perhaps? Hmm... ^^

The main plot is all focused around Sugino and Mu, and their husband-and-wife relationship. Personally, I really like tonight's episode! Mu is killing me with her cuteness. Awesomely kawaiiiiiii~~~ *squeals and dies* I'll dedicate the cuteness to a paragraph later. Now onto Sugino's pettiness. It hits me like whoa. When he got emotionally hurt after Mu ran to the Ichinomiya's lodge and sided with Kan-chan, he flew away whining and dramatically saying things like "I've been abandoned by Mu... Waaaaaah..." ^_^;;; Sugino was playing the role of the wife - it looks like!

On the theme of the relationship between humans and demons again. Sugino really hates human, and after Kantarou "won" the heart of his wife, I'm sure he loath them even more. However, in this episode, I felt that Sugino's hatred is really quite childish, just like what Haruka had said. That makes Sugino a very petty man... Kantarou was worried about Sugino not returning to the Ichinomiya lodge after his dramatic leave, and Youko plainly assured him that Sugino will return - when he's hungry. Lol... At the end it was revealed that Sugino abhor the human kind because he was humiliated (caused by his own mistake) in front of humans before, and everyone was really surprised at his answer. Really, such a petty man. Still, I wonder if Sugino will stay prejudiced against the humans after this incident? He was possessed by the Kyoukotsu Kotoe because of this hatred. I understand there's this message of "hatred = weakness" in this episode. And love expectedly saves the day - it was the love of the married couple that allowed Sugino to get the upper hand of his possessed mind.

Haruka was protective of Kantarou! Aha, it's one side of him that we hardly see - perhaps because Kan-chan is always around. Sugino, blinded by his hatred, help the Kyoukotsu get away when Haruka and Kantarou almost defeated her, and Haruka was fuming mad. How? The next day when it was just Sugino and he, Haruka threatened the white tengu "never even try to intercept Kantarou's work again". Strong words - showing how Haruka "dotes" on Kantarou (oh~~ what a word to use... but it makes Haruka sounds more adorable... :P). And our dear Kantarou finally recited his nine-word spell. Ooo... I love him doing that! He recited it twice - but imcompleted ones... Sigh, what a waste. The first was at the opening: Kantarou did it slowly, "Rin!" and his charms starting glowing, then "Byou!" and... the Kyoukotsu got away! Bleh... =_______= The next was at the end: "Rin, Byou, Tou, Sha, Kai, Jin, Retsu, Zai..." and Mu ate up the youkai. XDDDDDD Kantarou! Whahahahahaa...! Mu steals all the credit! The last word was "Zen", but Kantarou never get to complete his chant... X333333

Mu~~~~~ Hee hee... He was playful as well as useful. Plenty of Mu's scenes, that were extra-funny! First we have the flashback of Sugino feeding Mu with worms - with a chopstick! And the way Mu eats was squirmingly cute!! XD Then it was Mu sitting at the garden of the Ichinomiya lodge. A butterfly paid the lodge a visit, unfortunately went too close to Mu, and the green creature stuck out her looooong tongue (like a lizard!) and got the butterfly into her stomach! o_O And Mu went on to "switch" with her tongue the insects she has gobbled up previously. There was this beetle, then followed by the butterfly she has just caught, lastly a dragonfly - which flew away! XDD Oh my gawd... Mu... What is your stomach made of? Some in-grown cash register? That scene was a little hard to digest, really. Another scene that makes me glee - the Return of the Marble-in-Glass Bottle! Woohoooo! Youko, Suzu and Mu were having this moment of "bottle-drinking", and Mu got her tongue stuck at the bottle mouth! *jawfloor* Oh my gawd, how did she do that?! Feels like a deja vu of Haruka's finger x Bottle mouth. Rofl... Then the threesome started lunch - with noodles. What kind, I just can't differentiate. Looks like udon, but udon isn't that transparent. Anyway, Mu was playing with food. She "wore" the noodles on her little green head, and suddenly it was Mu the white-hair wife! Loooool...! With her new-found wig she was hoping around, doing that cute little dance... *squeals of cuteness* Looks like Mu doesn't know how to appreciate human food. She eats only rubbish. And Mu, who eats everything, saves the day! XD She was the true virtueous wife who saved her dearest husband (Sugino) by eating the youkai possessing him. Awwww... ^^
