Glad Shion showed those bastards and bitches a lesson. Also, since we are into the 2nd arc, it is gonna be good to understand how things ended up this way.

That grandma died of a taser. That's sad. But I am glad Shion beat her nasty corpse to hell.

I felt sad for Shion the entire time. Also the fact that they lied that the 3rd finger was for Satoshi. All of them deserved to die. I don't care about Mion anymore. Shion is best girl. She portrayed the part of a psycho well.

When Mion tried to be creepy to Shion and got tasered, I was like, fuck yeah bitch. Go to hell. And it seems like Mion in 2nd arc is actually Shion.

And Mion's got big boobs. Wonder when we will see Shion's boobs. Also, Shion is quite the mastermind.


Without change,we end up becoming the very person we hate.


I was dead until the moment I met you. I was a powerless corpse pretending to be alive. Living without power, without the ability to change my course, was bound to lead me to a slow death.

All this over a boy Shion barely knew. I bet Satoshi didn't even know Shion even existed let alone care for her.

Ah I can't believe it was Shion all along. My god she's a savage, she manipulated Keichi and sacrificed him as bait. My god this show just keeps on giving, so many plot twists. I'm kinda curious what torture tool they're using that makes it look like the person clawed themselves to death.

Quite a pile of information we got this episode. Seems like Shion is taking action, controlling the situation, however, she's cursed, footsteps follow her. The conversation at the end was so intense and great.

The animators really channeled the creepiness in their distortions of Shion's face. You can clearly see the links in face animation between this and Konosuba, though there they're going for funny instead of disturbing.
Every day you can read a book or watch some anime is a good day!

Something i still dont seem to get is why Mion acted so cold at the beginning of the episode trying to convince Shion it was Oyashiro's curse... did I miss anything?
P.S. Ive already completed the whole series including Kai, Rei, etc.

So this arc basically fits perfectly into arc 2, but does not go well with arc 1 and 3 at all. Still confusing how this should come all together in the end.

A really unexpected plot twist. When I was first watching the second arc, I thought that all of it was Mion's doing. I definitely didn't expect Shion to be the one behind all of this. But after what has been done to her, it does make sense why she did that.

Holy shit that end! Rip that old man.

I should've known that electric shock tool became a massive plot device at that arc. Damn the twist, i really forget about a minor detail like that! XD.

In terms of revenge, both Mion and oni-baba really deserved that shit. But, Shion, even took the old man, head village just a bad thing for me. Yeah, as expected, the demon blood line even flew on her body too, became a bad person, did a shit torture, and kill an innocent old man. But its just an excuse. Oh, man, what a mess village. Then, when i rememberred Keiichi wishes at the third arc, he became a demon, like Shion here. So, it was right, the curses. It turned out people into a crazy shit, either they became insane, like Rena, or became a killer with a lot of bad wishes (Keiichi at third arc, and Shion on the second arc), or even dissappeared. The curse really happening on that complicated village. A total devastation might sounds excessive (refer to the third arc). But with the whole situation that gone on so brutally in a fast way, I thought it was a wise choice (or a wishes, your call), to end all of the madness that was going on there.

A great answering arc. I'd see how Shion really became a wild girl and did that shit in a fast (yeah, i know its even hinted well at the first and second, and some minor brutal side at the third episode of these arc). But man, its really surprised me with her guts. The whole demonic side just an excuse for her to go on a rampage to seek a revenge. Even with the whole statement she had to Keiichi back at the second arc.

RIP, then, and i hope its clear the death of Keiichi too, that became too vague at the end of the second arc. And then, Rika suicide scene, then Satoko murder. Holy shit, Shion! The next one must be a blast! They even revealed the use of an injectable drugs like i suspect at the first arc. Okay, this is a great episode, maybe the best for me....

Not it is confirmed that Shion was the one behind the shit that happened in Watanagashi-hen. There were already subtle hints back then that it was actually Shion, now it is confirmed.

Boy, Keiichi don't know what's coming to him lmao. Damn, so is the Sonozaki family really the ones behind the disappearances and the curse? But, there's definitely still some supernatural stuff going on here. Oyashiro following the cursed is still not answered, and I am looking forward to the answers.

Damn, a little zippity zap killed Oryo. She probably could have given us a lot of answers. Well, Kimiyoshi is still there if he didn't die from the zap. Give us some answers Kimiyoshi.

Damn it looks like there isn't a sane person in the Sonozaki family. Shion kind of lost it this episode. Watching previous arcs, I always had the thought htat Mion could've been Shion in the back of my head. However, I didn't really think that was the case, so this twist was really enjoyable to see! Thinking back, I'm now wondering how many of the previous crazy Mion moments were actually Shion. And I do feel kind of bad for Mion; I think she really cares about her sister but the family and misunderstandings are just stopping that from happening.

Shion, her demon and a stun gun declared war on everything. Her grandmother died too soon to give any answers, Mion is still convincing Shion that she didn't know anything about Satoshi and murders of Takano and Tomitake, the elder Kimiyoshi just fell under a hot hand. Now Shion is setting up an interrogation with predilection...

Ohk, I can finally sleep tonight. So everything is falling in its place now.

So it was shion that time who killed mion and keichi ( I think she killed keichi in hospital ). So she was impersonating mion all the time. Let's see what next episode tells. So it was a revenge all along.

Idk if it was intentional or not but captive Mion fanservice was pretty good lol.

Also, wasn't it Mion who had the monstrous side? I thought Mion had captured Shion.

I loved the old hag torture scene. That bitch deserved to die. She thought she was some kinda ruler. She should have been flagged when she was still alive.

Ayo, a lot of the things from past events are making a lot more sense now. Can't believe that it was Shion who was doing all of that while Mion was the one being tortured.

So it was Shion all this time, doing all this just for Satoshi. She doesn't even know if he's dead or just missing. This girl is the scariest character in the entire anime ._.
