Most of it was awesome but also a little bit gruesome (especially the slaughter in the shelter).

This is becoming more and more violent! But it was a spectacular comeback!

Was it just me or did the Yurine just stop short if kisisng him? For a little moment she forgot her role, seeing that they are all duty, like demonstrated perfectly by the other one.

Pointlessly violent. Sucks the cool police guy died.

Shards of glass in the main guys eyes looked pretty painful. Good thing he can't feel it.

Epic episode. Yoshiko's father was bound to die from the first episode, he was 10/10 dead character. Everything is so well detailed - something which you rarely see even nowadays. But I guess it's because this is an OVA instead of TV.

High quality animation = high quality gore

That's what this shit was basically shouting the entire ep.

Not a bad episode. Gore-a-plenty.

I'll admit, I felt the hype when Karas came back, even though I feel pretty underwhelmed with this series as a whole.

Saved by cats !

A pretty good episode, I would say the best one so far.
Good action, and not being pointless cryptic.

That kind of event should happen in overpopulated cities all around the world in real life. That is such an efficient way to cull the human population. lol

I need more screen time for that female Karas!

Yeah, I saw that coming. I did notice his ring. I thought he was the good kind though like Nue. Damn, if I become a youkai, I'll only eat pretty girls. Those schoolgirls must taste really good!

That scene in the end was cool. I thought Yurine would kiss him. She should've! He could've become even more powerful with the power of love! lol

Hmm, I see. I understand what's going on now. This ep showed all I needed to know. Interesting.

I thought Ekou killed Yurine? Can she just revive whenever? But if this is a "new Yurine", then that must mean it isn't the same Yurine, who is dead permanently.

How is there so much blood in one man. He alone would be enough for the Hellsing London scene.

NOOO NAKANOOO! I had the best sushi and shopping there :(

Tentacles, gallons of blood, cheesy lines, holy cats. Such deep contents and solid development, no wonder it's considered the show's highlight.

This episode's imagery reminds me of some videos/edits of the garbage called Blood C I unfortunately saw years ago. Putting gratuitous gore into an asinine plot is unsurprising when you don't have anything meaningful to add. And of course *drum roll* here's a child to protect - which makes three helpless females in the same scene - because the hero has gotta show how heroic he is.

@Archean-Return Okay here is my theory, Ekou used to have a Yurine, then he betrayed that Yurine and corrupted her into an engine that can materialize ghostly youkai as mechanical monsters (almost like how daemon engines work in 40K), then the city spawned another Yurine to combat the monsters, but there can be only 2 Yurine at the same time. Anyway, our MC's ability to interact with the Youkai and thus his contract with the second Yurine got severed, and he lost the ability to turn into Karas, and the second Yurine contracted to that female Karas. In this episode, Ekou used the very last of the original Yurine's powers, thus killing the corrupted Yurine permanently, and that Yurine materialized again from our MC's soul without corruption.
