Trap — Nurarihyon [06]

Rikuo, Yuki-onna, and the view­ers knew that the moun­tain held a trap for the group set up by no other than Gyuki. As it turns out, Gyuki’s put­ting a lot on the line since the trap can be eas­ily traced back to him, it being his moun­tain and all. But Gyuki may have some­thing up his sleeve that will pre­vent from any mis­for­tune or some­thing like that (it is a shounen anime after all XD). His two min­ions decided to go after the entire group which will def­in­itely cause Rikuo to act. One of the min­ions is def­in­itely freaked out so he’ll prob­ably hes­it­ate when the time comes to com­plete his mission.

All of Rikuo’s friends got some screen time this epis­ode. What sur­prised me the most, on the topic of friends, is that the other two girls (not Kana, Yura, or Yuki-onna) is that they were able to see the youkai. It made me won­der if the girls could actu­ally see them because they have that spe­cial power or it’s just that those youkai are vis­ible to every­one. If the pres­id­ent and Shima happened to show up it would have prob­ably cleared up my ques­tions but only Yura showed up so it didn’t help me at all.

Rikuo takes the ini­ti­at­ive this time to pro­tect Yuki-onna with his threat to Gyuki’s min­ion: “I will kill you.”  He looks so ser­i­ous~ Kyaaaa~ Rikuo x Yuki-onna love <3  That’s some­thing that will def­in­itely make Kana jeal­ous. Kana couldn’t stop think­ing about Rikuo x Yuki-onna that she had to leave the onsen early to go look for them. That saved her from the youkai onsen attack but she may land her­self into another attack by find­ing Rikuo. OR~ she’ll end up com­ing after the battle and find­ing Youkai Rikuo.

Rikuo’s sud­den action makes me excited for next week’s epis­ode. His move was prob­ably the high­light for epis­ode and also a great cliff­hanger. Shima was also a favor­ite this time with his whole infatu­ation of Yuki-onna. He couldn’t see her nude as he had hoped but he did get a chance to stare at her butt XD and Ao lightened up the mood because he got lost and was lost for the entire epis­ode. And so we wait for next week’s action
