Summary:
We get a flashback of the time young Akina watched his grandpa deport a phallic demon, and it seems like the tuning process kills the demon before deportation. Oh well, it’s the only way to stop a demon power that has gone out of control. Enjin roams around town testing out the various Nana-Gou pillars, and when he is unable to break any of them he decides to use his electrical powers to overload demon residents and cause massive destruction.
Meanwhile, Rin is busy with her racist diatribe because some human bitches burned her arm once with a heated umbrella. Akina takes the criticism hard, but he knows the guilt is a burden he has to shoulder to protect Sakurashin. Later that night, Rin gets overloaded, and it looks like Akina will have to deport her. Fortunately, Akina notices the shadowy demon that is biting her ass and overloading her powers; Akina is able to skillfully Tune the ass-biter and not Rin. Realizing that Akina literally saved her ass, Rin perpetuates the immigrant stereotype by taking a low-paying job as a fast food delivery girl/zombie to pay her way through school.
Reaction:
Rin is so amusing with her fugly yellow suit and angry racist ideas. In spite of her fiery anger, it’s only a matter of time before Akina’s beautiful hair adds Rin to the harem. I’m worried for poor Touka, however, because Hime revealed that she is a childhood friend of Akina. The rest of the YLCO was pretty useless this time, but it was funny watching Kyousuke and Hime throw themselves on Rin’s sphere of power like they were bugs on an electric zapper.
We still don’t know much about the enemies or even the Council of Elders. The young District Councilor (Shinatsuhiko Yuuhi) and his sister Yae looked pretty pissed about Enjin zapping the Nana-Gou trees and riding the trains without paying fare. Hopefully we can get some more details about this diabolical plot soon, but in the meantime it was fun watching Ao designing the town mascot Ox Tongue. It still remains to be seen if Ox Tongue can defeat Pig Foot in the Sai Food competition this year, but either way fanboys will be crying fowl.

So did anyone else hear Dazed and Confused by Led Zeppelin in the BGM. Starting about 14:15 and going till 15:05. I thought I had left my itunes on.
Rin is close to Racist Batshit Nina V2 in terms of viewer vexation.
Once Rin makes enough money to take Nukes 101, the transformation will be complete.
…although aren’t zombies/hopping vampires/WTF she now is supposed to go around *eating* people an’ stuff…? In that sense merely hating their collective guts because they hurt you would really just be an improvement…
Who knows what is in that delivery food she is lugging around…
Well, I’ve been a bit under the weather the past few days and thought I was imagining things, but no…that really was D&C, I swear! The music is actually pretty good, although everything else about it is a bit ‘meh’.
This post was actually more entertaining than watching the episode itself – it’s pretty predictable shonen fare but if it can break the mould a little I’ll continue with it.
A “Big McLecter with fries” ?
I wonder if Rin’s coworkers ever tell her to “Hop to it”…
