Juugo sets up the kids with a free trip to the Marunage Hot Springs, telling Yukari to lie and say she won the trip on a TV quiz show. Naturally, Juugo is hoping that Kazuma will sleep with Ayano. Unfortunately, it seems that Genma and Kirika are working together on a mission, and are staying at the same onsen at the same time. Naturally, this leads to a lot of physical fighting between Genma and Kazuma.
Although this was yet another silly episode, the hijinks were amusing. Katherine catching an eyeful of Kazuma’s twig and berries, as well as her discovery of the mysterious “konyoku,” were pretty awesome. What else can Kazuma teach her that was not in her correspondence classes? Also, I wonder what Kirika and Genma are working on. It was great when Kirika simply said the two of them were having an affair, and Ren and Ayano got all upset.
It’s clear that Genma is one of Kazuma’s weak spots, but the two seem happy with the way their relationship has turned out. Their fighting was lame for the most part, except for when Kazuma pretended to help Genma up before throwing him down hard. Naturally Genma came right back and sucker punched Kazuma. Perhaps Ren takes more after his mom, but Genma and Kazuma are so similar. This leads me to wonder just how much of a ladies man Genma was back in the day, and what Kazuma’s mom was like when she was younger.

Yup, its a side story episode, still pretty hilarious. Although i wished they would get on and show Kazuma’s past already, now that would be interesting.
I Love this KAZE NO STIGMA animation

i loved this episode
it was cooooooooool!!!!!!!!!!!
Well, the last few episodes have just been proof that I cannot watch these while my father is still home and or sober. But I loved this episode…. Jugo you have a pretty um…. ‘weird’…. (if that’s even what you would call it, mind… but this series is alot more akward than Ouran High School Host Club and some Vampire Knight… there are only a few episodes of Bleach that fall into that catagory of akwardness, that is the same for Naruto, Fullmetal Alchemist and Inuyasha. This is just so weird.. but really what do I have to say, I’m the one in the saddest and most akward part of the series…. THE END…. I will love Kaze No Stigma forever. But no more evil Kazuma!
