Best episode of Kurenai so far! Albeit it was quite a sad and depressing one.

Episode Summary

In this episode, Shinkurou, Yayoi and Benika went to the Kuhouin’s to get Murasaki out of the cursed family as Shinkurou believed that it wasn’t her will to go back to the family. Of course, their rescue operation was not a smooth one as they were interrupted by Ryuuji’s personal bodyguards. As expected, Yayoi was not match for Rin and was the first one to be beaten down.

Resigned to fate

When Shinkurou and Benika finally met Murasaki, Shinkurou was really let down to learn that Murasaki refused to go back with him. Her eyes were full of… despair. Sigh, I guess despair is what you feel when you’ve resigned to your fate.

Biting the hand that taught

Also, it was revealed Ryuuji is very skillful in fighting. Surprise surprise, his teacher was none other than Benika herself. She must’ve been really frustrated to have her own student turning his back on her. Ugh, how ungrateful of Ryuuji!

Memories

Of course, their mission ended in failure and Benika prioritised saving Yayoi before rescuing Murasaki. But Shinkurou, being his defiant self, went back to the Inner Sanctuary on his own after seeing the photos taken at Murasaki’s Shichi-Go-San.

Thoughts

Definitely my favourite episode so far! It sort of depresses me watching such a young girl resigning to her fate. Also, this episode gives us more insight into Ryuuji and the Kuhouins.

Yes, I’m a sucker for depressing animes. I also like the simple yet gloomy piano pieces that echoed sadly throughout the recent episodes.

Ooh... Psychotic! I like XD

Speaking of Rin, she reminds me of the psychotic doll Suigintou from Rozen Maiden. I just can’t get enough of her psychotic smile, her cold-blooded demeanor and her laughter that sends shivers down one’s spine…

I can't believe it!

You should’ve seen her expression when Shinkurou landed a slap on her face. “How-dare-you-slap-me-you-incompetent-brat!” was written all over her face, lol.

OMG, I think she IS my favourite character of this series! If you know other psychotic characters in other animes, be sure to let me know!

Ocha! Subs Kurenai?

Hmm… seeing that BSS hasn’t released this episode… I was wondering if I’d speedsub this and the remaining episodes…

Joudan joudan~ Jikan ga nai dakara… (Just joking, I don’t have time anyway)

XD
