“Mou, urusai” MOMOKA~!

Summary:

Shito finds the mess that has been made in his room, which makes him storm out in anger. Meanwhile, two new faces show up in front of Michiru, Chika’s father Yuri and his younger sister Momoka. Michiru finds that Chika tends to avoid his touchy father, while on the other hand, he is very attached to his stoic sister. In other places, Shito meets with the person who trashed his room. Mentioning his recent activities with the Zombie Loan, the man tells Shito that he is not someone that can have friends. He calls Shito a true monster, while generating a pink light from his finger. Michiru and Koyomi express how nice it is for Chika to have a happy family while Yuri and Momoka leave, and Chika walks out to find an exhausted Shito by the graves. Noticing his depression, Chika tries to cheer Shito up. Shito only punches Chika in the face, but Michiru and Koyomi show up to tell them about dinner before they can go any further. Later, Michiru brings some towels to Shito’s empty room, and she notices a beautiful woman’s comb on a table.

In other places, a doctor in glasses signs a contract for the woman in a yellow jacket. Yuuta finds a zombie for Chika and Shito to hunt down in the Zombie Loan, so Michiru gets dragged along with them into the city. The doctor operates on a living corpse in a warehouse, while a young girl and a large man with a chain saw watch. After Michiru fails to find any black rings in the city, Shito gives her some blueberry gum to help with her eyesight. Noticing his speech, Chika tells Shito to call them by their names. Shito almost does, but he stops half way. Michiru takes the chance to finally tell Shito about the comb she found in his room, but Shito angrily takes it back from her. As Michiru starts to shed tears, Chika confronts Shito about his rude behavior. The two start fist fighting, until Michiru yells for them to stop. Shito walks away from the alley, but he is eventually stopped by a chainsaw running through his stomach. The doctor and the masked man with the chain saw stand above Shito, as he falls to the ground into his own blood.

Preview: Introduction of yet another character, and Shito’s capture.

Impression:

After last week’s episode, this one was a lot better. I didn’t expect that two of the characters being introduced were going to be Chika’s father and sister. Yuri a typical touchy father, and Momoka is a very stoic high schooler who likes to constantly send messages through her cellphone. I can’t ever get over how the Japanese represent Americans’ bad Japanese accents. Do foreigners really talk like that? After hearing about them in a previous episode, it was really nice to finally see what a happy family Chika has. Koyomi’s slightly disappointed look also hinted that she does not have such a family to spend time with. It’s not clear what the chinese man has to do with Shito yet, but it looks like Shito is really considered a monster. All of the messages so far hint that Shito has lost a large amount of his human conscience. Michiru and Chika are obviously the cure to that, and I’m guessing that they will have to save him in the next episode. Next week we’ll be introduced to the biking guy that we’ve seen in the opening, and we’ll probably see a lot more of the doctor and Shito’s superior in action.
