Short Synopsis: Keisei’s background gets revealed while the seven enemies finally attack.
Overall Enjoyment Value: 8/10 (Excellent)
Holy crap! I knew it. I freakin’ knew it! The series had already been hinting at it with the Minai-arc, and the ED really confirmed it as we see Ouri standing next to Makina with Keisei’s staff. What I didn’t suspect was that it looks like that it’s going to be none other than Ouri himself who gets to have the honour of killing him. Yeah. That’s one sure way of getting the guy at the centre of the storyline, and it indeed looks like the first season was just one big build-up for the second season.
But before he’s going to kick the bucket, I’m glad to see that the creators have found enough time to tell a bit about his back-story. I originally assumed that he and Makina were good friends when she got murdered, while in fact they hardly even knew each other, and instead they got together when he was ordered to take up Makina as his Shikabane Hime. It also turns out that the human bad guy (what was his name again?) was sort-of as an upperclassman to him, rather than just a random colleague and the cafe owner also grew up with the two of them for a bit, before he got his own Shikabane Hime assigned (not sure if that was already mentioned before).
