Oh god the Shinrabanshou is hot. *fap* *fap* *fap*

Summary:

When Miharu and Yoite arrive at the Fog Blue, they find that Yae is no longer there. However, with his usual charm, Miharu is able to learn her current location. Raimei meanwhile receives a call from Raiko, who asks if Miharu is with them. When Kouichi guesses that this call meant that Miharu is no longer with the Kairoshu, he reminds Raimei that Raiko’s position as a Wakachi may force him to hunt him. With this, the two attempt to find Miharu before the Kairoshu do. Kumohira visits the location where he originally separated from Miharu several years ago, as several visions from the past come back to his mind.

After quite a bit of traveling, Miharu and Yoite finally meet Yae. Her current location was the previous Togakushi village, but now only a shrine of her child Alisa remains. After explaining that he is taking actions on his own, not as a Banten or Kairoshu, Miharu gets to the point by asking Yae to use the Izura Shingan. Yae is very hesitant on using this, as she had already separated herself from the ability and the World of Nabari, but she is convinced when she sees Miharu’s determined eyes. These were the same eyes she had in the days she attempted to save Alisa.

While wondering about Yoite and Miharu’s actions, Gau overhears the Wakachi task force’s conversation about the two traitors. He quickly learns that they are after Yoite, but when he attempts to convince Hattori to decide otherwise, he is simply told that Yoite’s role has already ended. Gau is further shocked when even Raiko is unable to refuse Hattori’s orders. Several Fog Blue members gather in their main office, believing to have received a mail from their chairman. They find that she hasn’t arrived yet, however, and the room quickly explodes due to the Wakachi’s plans.

When Yae meets Miharu in his mind for the second time, it doesn’t take long before the Shinrabanshou appears again. Yae attempts to help Miharu realize what he truly wants to do, but the Shinrabanshou explains that she will not simply grant his wishes because it is boring. The Shiinrabanshou reminds Miharu that he is still not ready to use his power, as he and Yae are overwhelmed and brought back to consciousness. The Wakachi soon break into the room, capturing the three inside and showing Yae what they have done to the rest of the Togakushi. Miharu prevents them from killing Yoite, claiming that he would die as well if they did so, and this is reported to Hattori back at the Kairoshu village.

Impression:

So who else thinks Miharu drinks too much Red Bull? I know he wants wings and all, but energy drinks are really bad for his health. They contain far more than anyone would ever need in a day to operate, and if he really wants energy, he should go exercise regularly instead. I mean, Kumohira is on the right track. He’s totally been disappearing into a secluded forest to start training and gain power levels. But yea, it is pretty interesting that they have finally started revealing a bit more about Kumohira’s connection to Miharu and his past. This is just adding to the several obvious pieces of foreshadowing they’ve been throwing at us since episode one though. It also seems like it’s been awhile since anything besides Miharu and Yoite’s little adventure has been taking place.

It was really nice to see Yae again too, and she was really cute sitting on all fours in front of Miharu. Too bad he doesn’t want it, especially with Yoite putting on a worrying wife’s face while waiting for him. I think we all know who wears the pants in that relationship. Besides, it’s all about the Shinrabanshou in this episode. Who says Yukari Tamura can only play Nanoha loli roles? The end of the episode was kind of disappointing, but I guess I should have known they were going to hold off the Shinrabanshou fanservice for even longer. I still don’t think I can take the new Wakachi task force very seriously. They like blowing up people and putting others in weird bondage. That’s just gross.
