Ghost Stories

Kaze no Stigma 12- With Kazuma doing some explaining and piecing things together Kureha (eldest sister) finally realizes that the beast trapped within Mt. Fuji has been using her the entire, which finally causes her to completely snap… and leave it to Kazuma to have freed the beast itself, aka Xenon. Naturally, he has to go and get rid of it… with Ayano and Ren’s help, of course. However, they find that it has a barrier which is reventing any and all attacks from going through… until Ayumi decides to pitch in with what little power she has. This causes the barrier around Xenon to be no more, and the other three are able to destroy it once and for all. But it comes at a cost: Ayumi used up all the power she had, which was also her life force, and with it gone, she fades into dust, as she and Ren confess their love for each other.

Glass Fleet 7- Due to Eimer being infatuated with Michel, we end up learning the truth: Michel is actually a girl, and her real name is Racine, Michel actually being her brother. We also learn about her past as well as her brother’s: apparently she loved swordplay and became even better at it than her brother, which was a bad thing… and she therefore tried to be a woman from then on. However, once Vetti went crazy for Michel and caused a war to start, Michel himself vanished, and Racine decided to take her brother’s place, throwing away the name Racine… and Cleo asks “Michel” what “his” next move will be.

Pumpkin Scissors 14- Section 3 ends up turning a relocation effort into a drug bust… however, the ones that keep getting busted also have their backer bailing them out every single time. Nonetheless, Alice refuses to give up on the drug bust. This leads to the sponsor constantly bailing out money… until he decides he’s sick of it. He sends to dealers down with weapons this time, but even the weapons don’t do much, so he has his secret weapon go out: another of the Invisible Nine, but this one with a flamethrower and a suit that causes him to always seek fire.

Gunslinger Girl II 7- We see into the past of one of the terrorists: Flance, but back when she was known as Caterina, and the reason she has chosen to become a terrorist. We see how she met Franco, and then when we get back to the presents, Agency operatives manage to take her captive, which causes Franco and Pinocchio to go and kill the operatives in order to get her free. When the rest of the Agency arrives, the circle of revenge continues…

Kenichi 4- With training by all the masters, Kenichi first gets stronger, and then learns a few tips from Sakaki… which allows him to reface the large opponent, and this time, Kenichi is able to throw his opponent down and win.

Kekko Kamen 1- … I’m not even going to put a summary here outside of a non-hentai parody of hentai elements, which involves an S&M queen and a girl who wears nothing but a mask taking her out and saving another female student…

Ghost Stories 2- With land development around the area, another ghost has been set free, one which attacks people who go to the toilet. So, to avoid all puns about this episode being about crap, the group investigates the old school house again, and once more trap a rogue demon… as the possessed cat keeps his comments up about hoping the demons win.
