i have a feeling Yukimura didn't become a monster because she's a woman (this whole show is pretty heavy on the theme of a single woman's worth amidst a band of incredibly powerful men). that or maybe (also) she was going to die as a child and it was given to her, and it has different effects on an adult.

but, man, why do they drink these blood red potions? has the blood red potion EVER done a good thing to anybody?

i like the new guy. he's nasty and creates some nice tension within the oftentimes yawn-inducing Headquarters talk-talk-talk. it makes for a much better watch than "i think i'll wash the vegetables, too"

Itou (the new guy) looks to be a bit of a flamer. he has this awfully feminine air to his speech (especially his "wa" following most of his sentences).
