And now I end with a Shana moment:it's a well-needed flashback episode which is going to last two episodes. We get to see Shana training against a moving skeleton. And we also see how she's still obsessed on melon bread back then. Interestingly enough, the episode ended with some armored warrior entered the city with the Nietono no Shana sword; I'm curious how Shana is going to get that sword.
Seems like next episode will continue on the flashback. On another note, the new ED sequence has premiered!2.) Her maid Wihilminia (or however you spell it) has a really creepy ass mask! Her ribbon attacks rock though and so does that skeleton who goes almost DBZ!
3.) This episode is where we see how Shana becomes a Flame Haze.
Throuhout the flashback arc, we do get a chance to Shana in her rather cheerful self instead of her bratty attitude in the present time (though it still shows that she can still fight and kick ass). Next episode, I REALLY HOPE the new opening from KOTOKO is going to be premiered!After Shana obtained the sword she won from her battle against that samurai, she now faced her second opponent. Her opponent was her trainer Shiro who was formally a skeleton who later changed into a bishie knight. She obviously won though.
Interesting revelations that appeared in this episode as well. It showed a brief flashback of the previous Flame Haze user (who by the way is a well-developed female) who defeated Shiro before. Basically that Flame Haze user made a promise to him saying that if he gets defeated, he should stop doing evil things and start training the next Flame Haze.
Lots of anticipation in this episode; almost anything can happen now!A festival is coming soon which means Kazumi and Shana are going to wear those cute yukatas. And not to mention it's going to be a start of their "battleground" for their "love" for Yuuji!
Another important plot is that a new Flame Haze named Khamsin with his bracelet Behemoth has arrived in town. Surprisingly, they bumped into Kazumi, and Khamsin told her everything about Torches, Tomogara, and so forth. This is really going to complicate things!![]()
Meanwhile that sunglasses guy that used to be with those French kissing siblings has now regrouped with two other people. These three people call themselves the Ball Masque, and they're able to summon someone known as the Professor. While were at it, Wilhelmina sensed their activites, and she plans to head there.
This is seriously getting good, and hopefully the next set of episodes will deliver it!All I'm going to say that every person that were involved with the Tomogara and Torches finally reveal themselves to each other. Though it was more awesome when Shana revealed herself has a Flame Haze in front of Kazumi.
Not only that, lots of people are starting to show off their feelings to their loved one; the whole "love triangle" among Shana, Yuuji, and Kazumi got to a point of awkwardness and despair.
