Kara no Kyoukai

I really liked this episode. The graphics were gorgeous but the story was even more splendid. Not only did it explain great many things about the relationship of those two that were left vague in the first episode but it also showed just how deep it is. Quite a rocky ride indeed it has been. I have to confess, though, that I really love stories like this, where one character is so determined to love the other that there will be no limits to what he's ready to do for the other. I have no doubt now Kokutou pretty much saved Shiki's personality, even if it almost cost him his life.

There was almost no action in this episode, but it was definitely better than the last one.

It's kind of interesting that the only thing Shiki was denying is that she might get attached to someone. She got really cute right at the beginning when Mikiya was taking an interest into her. Then she just tried to get SHIKI to drive him off. I wonder if it was just Shiki trying to deny that she could like someone other than SHIKI, or if she realized how much she was starting to like him and tried to drive him off in order to protect him.

This episode also showed why Shiki was so possessive of Mikiya after his consciousness was taken from her by the ghost girl in the last episode.

Watching her buy a leather jacket specifically because Mikiya suggested it, watching her get startled from being touched by the umbrella, and then abruptly yelling out his name (with a -kun suffix no less! The only time she used it.) and taking forever to ask a question. All very cute, sending my tsundere sensors to overload.

Match that up with the opening scene of her smearing the blood onto her lips, and you've got one hell of an episode.


Did that event of her chasing Mikiya through the forest put her into a coma for two years? It seems the next one with Asagami takes place just after she comes out of her coma, in July of 1998.

So it seems now, but I'm puzzled by the fact the description says she gets the eyes when she wakes up from the coma. However, the lackey was saying Shiki can be the only next master of the house because she has a special attribute. At that point I thought he meant the eyes. But perhaps it was just the split personality. If it was "just" that, then had her brother failed to develop a split mind?

Likely it will be shown in some episode; her waking up, that is. That should also give the definite answer.
