There are two episodes left, and we finally know the intentions of the “bad guys” of this series. Heh, it’s about time. There are basically two “villains”, each completely unrelated from the other. The first one is Noriko. In this episode, she basically talks Miyako’s mother into taking care of her while her father remains in the hospital, which gives me a lot of reasons to believe that she was the one who stabbed him in the first place.
Noriko’s intentions were indeed to take over the cult that Makoto’s grandmother started. This episode shows that she too has some connections to the spirit-world, and she apparently knew that Miyako was possessed by some kind of spirit. If she indeed stabbed Miyako’s father, then she would have hit two flies with one blow: first Miyako would be too weak to suppress the spirit that possessed her, and second of all, it would eliminate her father, who obviously would never allow Miyako to be used for some kind of weird cult.
The second villain is the green-haired guy whom we still don’t know a lot about. He shows his true colours in this episode, though. Reika and Masayuki were apparently working on some kind of homunculus. An artificially created living being, which was, if I understood things correctly, was made possible through the strange spirits that Masayuki saw in the lab a few episodes ago. In any case, villain #2 steals this homunculus and dumps it in the dam, so that it can be food for the spirits.
The question: where does Hirata fit in all this? I didn’t quite understand what he told Reika in this episode, and what it signified. It seems that he found out something, but what?
Makoto, meanwhile, is doing fine with his mother. She’s been released from the hospital, but her memory is still a bit jumbled up. It’s interesting how the previous episode made such an impression on him that he’s now fully taking care of her, and protecting her.
Tarou, meanwhile, has it tough. Notice how he’s unable to even utter the word “Miyako”? In the meantime, his mother’s having visions of her dead daughter. Whether she saw the spirit of her dead daughter, or if it was just in her mind, the fact remains that she’s hasn’t been cheerier. And this is the first time I’ve seen her genuinely smile in the entire series.
Oh, and to those who believed that the person in Masayuki’s house who kept gaming was his mother: you were right, and I was wrong. It indeed seems that Masayuki’s mother has disappeared off to somewhere, and her husband doesn’t even seem to care (which is of course rather logical, after he’s been walking after Reika like a young puppy).
this is so exciting I hope miyako gets saved soon from that creey cult. Do you think masayukis mom joined that cult?
i love this serie.Seriously, i don’t want it to finish. I have a question: are miyako and tarou still mad at each other?
Well, I think that Miyako is still upset at Tarou because he called her the reincarnation of his sister, but this episode showed that she does notice the guy unconciously.
I have been assuming that Tarou’s difficulty in getting past the “mi” of “Miyako” is because his sister’s name was “Mizuka.”
he wasn’t stabbed right? just pushed down the stairs.
and i think the spirits that chased masayuki were the spirits of the dead bioids(bio ids?)
concerning hirata, he sent her an x-ray or mri of his brain but didn’t say it was his until after she said what was weird about it, but i didn’t understand what she said.
What an episode. The “villians” have been revealed, and everything in Suiten is spiriling into chaos. I can’t wait to finish this great show. Since Shion no Ou hasn’t gotten subs in a while, Ghost Hound might becone the best Fall anime for me.
Thank you as always. You finished GH a long time ago, but we “who don’t speak Japanese and have to wait fansub” people are still try to watch the final episode. I translate GH to my own language and I don’t understand a scene. Masayuki said something to his father and you gave this moment at the first screen. According to SHS, he said “is that all life is?”. But since you speak Japanese, you know it better. Could you please explain to me that dialog? He means universe or something by saying “all life”?
Help or not this time, you already helped me a lot along the episodes. Thank you one more time 🙂
