Ideas/Evaluate
I gotta say, the MAO sequence continues to impress me and MAO 14 is not any exception to that.
A New Foe
We get launched to Captain Shirasu, aka the Onmyoji Hakubi in MAO 14. That is the second member of the Goko clan who had some type of horrible damage that didn’t heal. (Properly, I’m presuming Hakubi is definitely injured since he wears a metallic masks.) I solely point out this as a result of these guys are immortal. Hyakka really dies, then comes again to life. But in some unspecified time in the future, he both misplaced an eye fixed or it was severely injured. I discover that very fascinating. Even Mao has a scar.
The loopy half is that Yurako seems to be Sana-sama. Everybody is bound that she was slain in no matter loopy occasion that occurred on the Goko compound 900 years earlier. However perhaps somebody used the Taizanfukun spell to convey her again to life? Byouki supposedly consumed the unique scroll. However one thing has stored the remainder of the Goko Clan associates alive all these years. That one thing should have introduced Sana-same to life.
Why is Shiranui apparently dwelling within the water? I get that he’s a water onmyoji, however that doesn’t clarify issues to me. I suppose he might have used the water as a gate. However then he’d want a degree from which to gate from. To date, all we’ve seen him in is that this temple in the course of what seems to be a bay. And he’s not leaving the Kyoto space, however retains sending others to do this work for him.
Lastly, I suppose Hyakka and Kamon are going to assist Nanoka discover Mao. No less than Nanoka is wearing interval acceptable outfit, even when it’s a maid costume. They need to at all times have interval acceptable clothes for her when she returns to 1924.
Last Ideas and Conclusion
Ultimately, MAO 14 was one other very fascinating story. I’m actually digging this sequence and to date, it’s the greatest storytelling to return from Takahashi-sensei.
