Now this episode starts out good, but gets kind of weird later on, you’ll see what I’m talking about, just keep reading. In the meantime, lets catch up with Mariko who’s got the hottest shinigamis watching over her to protect her from Muraki.
Only thing is, she still thinks they are trying to kill her. “LOOK YOU DUMB CHICK! You’ve got 4 bishies giving you all this…….Wait, did I say 4, I meant 3. Hisoka is just cute, he’s not really a bishie. Anyway where was I? Oh yeah, “You’ve got 3 bishies giving you all this attention, enjoy it dammit!”
“And while you’re at it, get a couple of phone numbers ok?” Next scene, Tsuzuki is teaching a history class, but he’s talking a little too much, and starts leaking information about his immortal status. Hisoka slams him in the head with a book in order to shut him up, and the class loves it…………………..
I admit that was kind of hilarious. Okay, let’s move on to the weirder stuff. Muraki has in his possession a head. Yes, a human head, look I knew this dude was psycho, but wait ’till I tell you the whole story. Through a flashback we find out that Muraki has a half brother named Saki.
Apparently, they didn’t get along and Saki killed the parents, and tried to kill Muraki, until somebody kills him first. Somehow, Muraki got a hold of the head, and plans to transplant it to Tsuzuki’s body, so that he can kill Saki over and over. Huh? Does that any sense to you, ’cause I’m clueless.
But then again, we are talking about Muraki, who’s a complete psychopath, and he continues to prove it by killing Dr. Satori after he gets his help in kidnapping Mariko. Wait, how does Mariko get kidnapped with 4 shinigamis watching over her? Muraki is also able to play mind games with Tsuzuki, as he tries to find out if he was ever human.
How in the hell can he be human if he’s a shinigami? Wait, isn’t Ichigo from Bleach a shinigami? Oh no, I forgot, he’s a poser shinigami, but he’s human so I guess it’s possible. Only thing is, Tsuzuki can’t die, and hasn’t died in a long time. Okay, I understand this, but with only one episode left, who really cares?
So Tsuzuki and Hisoka are at a bar, and Tsuzuki is getting drunk as a skunk. What a fool, can’t he see that Muraki is just messing with his head? Anyway, Tsuzuki is on the verge of having a nervous breakdown, boy what a sap!
After this huge dramatic scene, Mariko is found laying in a gutter somewhere, and is taken to the hospital. Tsuzuki stays in her room as a bodyguard, but Muraki is able to cast some kind of a spell on Mariko to turn her into a centipede. Yuk! I hate those things!
Tsuzuki gets slapped around, ’cause he won’t attack her, but the phoenix (One of Tsuzuki’s spiritual posse) comes out, and destroys Mariko. This devastates him, and he passes out. You know, Tsuzuki is lucky that I’m not his boss, ’cause I’d fire his ass right about now!
And how many people have died around Tsuzuki when he’s supposed to be protecting them? Anyway, Muraki carries him off for this great experiment. Will he succeed?
