You need Monster Cables to hear the hidden tracks

So J159′s busy again, and you’re stuck with me for two episodes.

Summary:

I swear to God if Jesus159159159 doesn't get episode 11 up in a timely manner, we'll unleash the attack cats on him

While Misaki’s listening to some Amber bonus tracks, Hei takes a chance to get his gloomy gigolo swag on, Needle in the Hay style.  Misaki knows something’s up with Shion’s rifle, since Suou is not left-handed and the scope and bolt are on opposite sides.  Opening up Amber’s file in Bdobe Mxcel 2.0 Pro reveals creepy ghost-loli Amber, and the following crazy story:

Izanagi gazes upon the false sea bottom, waiting for Izanami
Izanami will cross the sea bottom, and eventually, the two will meet.
When they do, heaven and earth will split in two,
And the Gate of Hell will open its way there.
From the Gate will come forth one, a being unknown.
And strife will continue for eternity.

Trap!

I heard there was a flight simulator in this thing

Elsewhere, Kiko happens upon July and a sickly Suou and takes them in for devious gender-bending cosplay purposes.  Casual chit-chat results in Suou getting scammed into giving up all her cash money to hire Kiko and Gai in a search for Suou’s photographer mom.  It’s a bit of a wild goose chase, but after checking out Cat Cafe Moon, Gai realizes that Suou’s mom likes to take pictures of the construction around the Gate.

What is he hiding under his hat, hmmmmm?

Call off your attack cats, I'll blog episode 11 I PROMISE x159

As awesome as this is, Gai’s detective work is no match for Madam Oreille mysteriously showing up to tell Suou to go to the Haneda Airport at 8:00 PM to meet up with her mom.  Mina and Youko have also been sent there, but their location has been leaked.  While Mina is left to deal with a guilt trip about her sickly mom, a barely disguised Hei manages to lure Youko away.

Will she accept my Facebook friend request?

Is that your 'stache or did a fish swim up your nose?

You're flat... lining

OMFG keep the bus above 50 MPH Hei!!!!!!

You are surrounded by BLADES of grass you fool!

Hei is able to shake Genma fairly easily, and a distracted Mina is no match for him either.  I thought that Hei would maybe bust out some yo momma jokes, since DtB 2 loves moms, but a little jump kick and Hei is on his Wei.  Back at the airport, Suou picks up her own mom, but keeps getting mistaken for Shion…

That guy in the back is clearly thinking 'MILF'

Unfortunately, when Suou tries to correct her, Suou’s mom mentions that she loves M. Night Shyamalan and the real Suou died 8 years ago.  Thank goodness for that infinite lives cheat code, eh?

Reaction:

I never liked Gai and Kiko and I was just as upset as Mao to see them return.  The way Mikhail is still alive and the real Suou died 8 years ago makes me think that Shion must have the ability to bring his memories to life or something.  I wonder what his purpose is, since he’s being very obvious in order to lure everyone into his trap.  Suou should just tell her mom that Shion actually died 8 years ago and Suou then pretended to be Shion… just to mess with her mind.

Youko was pretty disappointing as well.  How could she just follow Hei?  She knows what he looks like!  It’s like in those chick flick movies where a quick haircut and a little freshening up turn you from a lolicon lush hobo into a sleepy-eyed heartthrob.  I was also shaking my head at Mina’s lack of focus.  If you can dodge a wrench, you can dodge a ball!
