Upon crossing the threshold of the gate to Horai, Sagiri, Yuzuriha and Senta are confronted by Mu Dan, AKA Jiujin Amoghavajra, the peony spirit and one of the Tensen. In any case, we won’t know what will become of these folks until that second cour comes around. As for the rest, I can only hope Gabi isn’t a fake wife guy and can recover what he lost with some rest and/or meditation. I don’t know if she’ll succeed, but I do know she’ll try her damndest, and for all the right reasons. It’s a particularly cruel way to close this first of presumably two cours of Jigokuraku.Īt the same time, I have faith in Sagiri’s goodness, humanity, and commitment to not let anyone else die. Now the veil of uncertainty has been cast over a number of things I took as a given (the elixir exists, Gabimaru has a wife named Yui. When Mei uses her tao-vision on Gabimaru, he seems to be missing the whole top of his head-tao, which can’t be good. As they rest in a nearby stately house, Yuzuriha somehow finds an even cuter outfit to change into, then plants a new seed of doubt in Sagiri’s head: what if Gabimaru was wrong about the village chief drinking the elixir? What if that was just another ninja illusion drilled into him as a kid? And what if his wife isn’t even real, but simply another illusion designed to motivate him? It would seem his excessive uses of tao has resulted in amnesia.īut it might be even worse than that. As for her charge Gabimaru, he wakes up having no idea where he is or what he’s doing. Sagiri, perhaps the most well-adjusted of the characters there (not saying much, I know) is wrecked by the death of a fifth comrade. ![]() That said, she does hold Senta in her arms until he passes. With the first tensen defeated, proving that they can be killed, Yuzuriha is frank in her assessment of Senta: he’s not going to make it and it isn’t worth wasting precious medical supplies on him. When Shion focuses all of his tao into one point and uses that to slash the ovule, Jiujin is finally killed for good, and even thanks Shion for doing it, as it ends a thousand years of life, much of which must have been pretty dull. True to form, Yuzuriha doesn’t directly involve herself in any more fighting, but she is able to prop Senta up so he can tell Shion where their opponent’s true weak spot is: the ovule, since it’s a plant monster. ![]() ![]() Realizing he still can’t defeat the monster alone, Sagiri and Nurugai don bandages and cover themselves in Yuzuriha’s ninja mucus in order to protect themselves from any scratches that could lead to flowers blooming. Shion arrives to save Sagiri and Yuzuriha, with enough knowledge on the “waves” that make up tao that he’s able to fight a sustained solo battle against Jiujin, impressing both Sagiri and Yuzuriha.
