Summary
Continuing from last episode, Murasaki returns to the inner sanctuary, demoralised and very much brainwashed.
Shinkurou, Benika and Yayoi prepares to infiltrate the Kuhouin residence through some river entrance in the wall. They decided to use the same boat Benika used in two other occasion, first to take Murasaki out of the residence and the second time for Benika to enter the residence to have a midnight chat with Renjou.
Clearly not the best ideaWe also learn that Benika's involvement with the Kuhouins went way back, and was probably a factor in Ryuuji's evilness.
Pretty soon, the get found by Lin and her henchmen, which is kinda retarded. If you were infiltrating such a massive estate, you'd think they would stay off the marked paths. Anyway a fight soon starts, which Benika and co should have won. All they had to do was defeat all of her henchmen and turn it into a three on one, but for reasons beyond me, Benika decided to take Shinkurou and jump off a cliff, leaving Yayoi to her fate with Lin.
As a result, Yayoi gets her ass kicked.
Kazuko and Ryuuji have a nice mother son talk. Topic of discussion? Murakasi, and how the reason for her rebellious attitude is her youth. Obviously the fact that when she turns thirteen she will be raped by her brother and forced to give birth to his child only to have that child taken from her and to be raised by some unknown woman has nothing to do with it.
When Shinkurou and Benika reached the inner sanctuary, they are confronted by Ryuuji guarding an emotionless Murasaki. When Shinkurou tells her to leave with him, she responds by saying that she has accepted her fate as a Kuhouin woman and will be staying in the inner sanctuary.
Before Shinkurou could try to convince her any further, he gets interrupted by Lin on a rampage for blood. Soon Shinkurou and Benika gets overpowered by Lin and Ryuuji.
Shinkurou was finally able to land a punch on Lin, even though it was only a slap. A moral victory nonetheless.
Things were looking grim for Benika and Shinkurou until the maid that helped Murasaki escape the estate made a suicidal charge at Lin, which enabled them to escape. Her death also resulted in the appearance of that bone. Even though it does pretty well against bullets, it seems to be useless in hand to hand combat.
Impression
As expected, this episode had a lot more action than than the rest of the series. However, I was surprised and grateful that it didn't feel rushed; it still retained the seriousness and somberness it had since the start. Nevertheless, the writers probably decided to leave much unexplained in order to ensure the ending was rushed and maintained a reasonable flow. I will be interested to see how Shinkurou will be able to overcome Lin as their encounters thus far has resulted in him spending more time on his back.
Screencaps
Nutrition is important when considering an infiltration plan
In anime, hypothermia does not exist
Also in anime, clothes dry in minutes
Still as crazy as ever
Kazuko's first ever attempt at cooking turns out... quite well
When infiltrating someone's house, always ask the door maid for permission
Paper walls - not the best defensive structure
Since Yayoi didn't land a single punch on her, those injuries must be self inflicted
Zomg, dirty footprints!
3 inch stilettos, footwear of choice in combat
Such incestuous brotherly love
Since the boat didn't work, let's try the car...
