The angst pours in when Kazumi takes her dog Ekaterina out for a walk late at night and catches Yuuji stargazing with Shana at Shana’s favorite spot. The next day, Ike tries to confront Yuuji about how he accepts Kazumi’s kindness but doesn’t return her love; Yuuji astutely picks up on the fact that Ike has the hots for Kazumi. Confrontations continue as Kazumi challenges Shana for Yuuji’s love, but Shana totally cheats by continuing the trash-talking even after Kazumi gets frozen by a mysterious Fuzetsu.
Aizen Twincest is at it again, and their target is the Nietono no Shana. Everyone notices that Sydonai is staying put to guard something, and Yuuji goes to investigate. Yuuji’s totally motivated since he thinks that Shana will give him a “prize” (like the kiss on the dorama) if he solves the mystery. Meanwhile, Shana has her hands full against Sorath and his sword, Blutsauger. She can’t hurt the twins in their Cradle, and just when she thinks she’s found the power source (a huge flower), it turns out to be a trap. Suddenly Shana is blasted, immobilized, and re-tentacled. Shoulda sliced the blue tentacle, I guess.
I enjoyed all the love drama, especially between Shana and Kazumi. It’s about time things bubbled to the surface, and Kazumi all but declared war on Shana. Too bad she couldn’t keep up the tirade in the Cradle. Yuuji was admirable in this episode, continuing to push for respectability. Not only was he fairly brave, he was even pretty sharp in spotting Ike’s weird vicarious romancing. Good stuff. Meanwhile, Marjorie and her toadies continue to play it safe so they can steal the kill and the glory.

Ike has the hots for Kazumi.
That has been so obvious since the beggning. That’s why ike got so pissed. . .I kidna disliked the whole ike-kazumi-butting in to shana and yuji’s relationship. I mean geez to BE the obstacle in young love between to people is just disrespectful. I know ike is NOT stupid and that he already KNEW that shana and yuji had somethin goin on even before he asked. As a freind Ike should have stayed out of it and not try to force the whole kazumixyuji thing. . but then it could be a a plan for Ike to move in on kazumi once she’s all hurt once she FINALLY GETS THE POINT(ep25 1/2). I realyl hope that thedo away wiht this angsty loli 15yr old love stories and ge to the main point of the actual story. . cause quite frankly I’m getting annoyed at t his love crap mostly becase Kazumi and ike are acting so STUPID. . .It’s obvious that yuji’s not gonna go for kazumi so kazumi needs to accept that and move on and ike needs to stay the fuck out of eveyrones buisness so we can get on with the REAL story. . .like how that little white kid is pwnging the shit out of shana with that huge-ass siegfried sword (why would he need shana’s sword) all while having the attitude of a 7 year old “nietono no shana is cooooool” (repeat 53656 Times and you have that little white kid) gah this stupid little kid love stuff is annoiyng. . .nd dont even let me get STARTED on the whole incest junk. . .I swear Anime is getting worse and worse every week. . .They have the edipus complex guy in gunxword, they have the pedo-loli-assergey with TWO 14 yr old girls in Mai Otome, along with the whole erstin likes nina who likes a 40 yr old man who likes a 14 y old girl with tomoe a 16 yr old girl who likes a 30 yr old woman who (apparently) likes a 14 yr old girl (arika) AS WELL AS flirting with Natsuki . . . I swear the only NORMAL relation ship in anime right now (not counting suzuka/honeyXclover) is between kazu and whatever her name was (I forgot)I may sound frustrated but I think that they should start making a rule to NEVER include love in a shonen series. . .kinda like how they do in one piece there’s no relation ship agnst there it woudl be totalyl annoying! Grr. . .I’m pissed at anime right now… so much sick shit this season >_<

[...] Trash-talking Shana FTW! I was soooo delighted that Kazumi exhibited some spunk and a good deal of fortitude in this largely fruitless argument (no thanks to our lolicious love idiot evading issues). Was made a staunch Kazumi supporter hereafter. [...]
