SPIRAL-OVERTURE-EPISODE 13-2 1/2 STARS

It’s Xmas Eve, or at least I think it is. For several episodes, we’ve witnessed the Blade Children stalking people, and killing them. Ayumu could have ended up being a casualty, but he outsmarted the Blade Brats, and has lived to see another day. Only thing is, the tide has turned, and now it’s their turn to be victims.

Yes, there are hunters after the Blade Children, and one of them is coming for Eyes Ruthurford. You remember him, right? The seventeen year old piano star with the lame ass personality? Now Eyes is supposed to be the “top dog” of the group, but I have yet to see him get his hands dirty in any of the killings or those torturous games that Ayumu was put through.

I guess Eyes is the one providing the finances of the whole Blade operation, since he’s the rich dude. Maybe that’s why this particular hunter is trying to take Eyes out, ’cause he’s the guy with the cash. The hunter taunts Eyes like crazy, calling him every hour to tell him that his number is almost up. While this is going on, Kosuke is trying to find out how the hunter is gonna accomplish his goal.

Is he gonna use a bomb? Maybe not, since no one can find one anywhere, and the bomb scenario is gettin’ kind of old and played out. Is he gonna poison the food? Nobody knows, so some sandwiches are sent in for testing, but come back in good condition so we can rule that one out. Look, I know Eyes is just a kid, but he’s a rich one, and should be eating caviar, and lobster, and stuff like that, not some stale sandwiches.

Now this hunter starts talking way too much, which leads Kosuke and Ayumu to discover a bug somewhere in Eyes’s dressing room. Oh yeah, I guess you’re wondering why Ayumu is hanging around. Well, he’s still trying to find out where his brother is hiding. Kosuke swears up and down he doesn’t know where Kyotaka is, but we know that Kosuke is a good liar, so we can’t listen to him.

However, we do know that Kyotaka is alive, since he sent Ryo some flowers a few episodes ago, but that’s all the info we have at this point. Kyotaka is a jerk, he should be sending some flowers to the wife that he left behind 2 years ago.  Well Ayumu decides to hang out with the Kids a little while longer, so that he can get all his questions answered. I think this is a big mistake, why hang around a bunch of people that wanted you dead?

Ayumu devised a plan to smoke this hunter out, but Eyes will need to stall his concert by 5 minutes. Instead of taking some good advice, Eyes speeds up the show by 2 minutes. Hmmmm. I guess he really does have a death wish. So the concert begins, and candles are being lit left and right. This is a good thing, since the hunter can’t seem to get a good shot of Eyes. Too bad, ’cause his music is really getting on my nerves right now.

Anyway, Ayumu (being the genius that he is) figures out where the hunter is hiding, and realizes that it will be a sniper attack. Now we all know Ayumu is good a solving puzzles, but can’t take down a picture, much less a hunter. Kosuke tries to take him out, but c’mon, he’s just a kid, and the hunter looks like an adult. So who do you think got owned? Yep, you guessed it, the hunter owned Kosuke, and got away.
