| Damn, a murder investigation. From the lighthearted episode the previous week, this one turned more serious and darker. It looks like that yuki-ona is connected to the case too and Masayuki is suspected to be involved. This is one of those episodes that relied a bit of supernatural detective work. Kotoko knew that Masayuki is not the suspect. I kinda like how she also served as a role of a wingman for Masayuki and Yuki-onna by pointing out how devoted she is to him. |

Dukino said: It was very cruel, but that was the point, she acted like a goddess because she was using that mantel to show Masayuki the trust Yuki-Onna has in him. He'd already closed his heart due to the constant betrayal he's faced throughout his life, she did this whole song and dance to get him to finally open up once again through seeing just how much Yuki-Onna cares for and trusts him, so much so that she was willing to defy the goddess that she should have absolute faith in. So no I'd say Kotoko's methods, although cruel, were absolutely justified and necessary for them to move forward with this investigation and for him to move forward with his life. Honestly this episode just continually pissed me off the whole time. Seeing shitty cops badger someone who's obviously innocent is ridiculous. I hate seeing it the real world and I hate seeing it in shows. Its so dumb I can't put into words how angry it makes me. Kotoko doing the same thing but even going a step further by saying that Muroi manipulated Yuki-Oona pissed me off even more than the cops did. I kinda hated her during that whole scene and wanted Muroi to storm off and look for the culprit himself like he originally planned. Kotoko was way out of line saying shit like that, she's never meet Muroi before and barely knows Yuki-Oona so her saying he manipulated her made me want to stop watching the episode. I see no reason she needed to do all that, I don't care if she called it informing Muroi of the dangers of him and Yuki-Oona getting close. I hate when people do such a roundabout way of things instead of just being straight up with the person they're talking to. That scene could've been a lot less rage inducing if Kotoko acted more like a person than a goddess and spoke to Muroi equally instead of spinning that made up story that she for some reason tried to convince them was what she think actually happened. What Kotoko did was not informative or playful it was mean and ridiculous. Kuro really should've come along with her so she doesn't get so carried away. |

| LETS GOOO man what a roller coaster of an episode. One of my fave cases. First of all why was bro talking to the police without a lawyer present lol?? Wasn’t helping his case at all. Also why did it take so long for Yuuki Onna to contact kotoko? Like that should’ve been the first step. So cute how concerned she is for him, dude been so depressed he didn’t even pay attention to what he had right in front of him. Kotoko fake alibi may have been cruel but it did finally open his eyes which was good. Despite how much she respects Kotoko as the goddess she was able to stand up to her and defy her. That’s real love. I need them to be happy together I didn’t know the climber who pushed him off the mountain died already, so that pretty much confirms it’s gotta be the colleague he was on the phone with last week. The fact she still call him president and seems to have him on a pedestal is sus. Can’t wait for next episode, didn’t want this one to end. |

Dukino said: I'm as ACAB as it gets but he's definitely not "obviously innocent". From their perspective he was the prime suspect. Hell, they even let him go home and are letting him go about his business undisturbedHonestly this episode just continually pissed me off the whole time. Seeing shitty cops badger someone who's obviously innocent is ridiculous. I hate seeing it the real world and I hate seeing it in shows. Its so dumb I can't put into words how angry it makes me. |
| Kotoko really took them on a roller coaster with her accusations toward Masayuki. It all turned out to be a lie to get Masayuki to realize how much Yuki Onna cares about him, but I can't even imagine what was going through their heads as she continued on and on. Looking forward to seeing how this case wraps up and finding out who the real killer is. |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. MAL is literally just anime Twitter as its own website lol. |
| Based Kotoko, only believes them because they haven't banged yet. lol |
| kotoko's whole spiel was infuriating me, then she said it was a lie and i slapped my desk. i knew masayuki couldn't have killed his ex so kotoko's BS-ing was so frustrating. well whatever, guess we get more of yuki-onna next episode so i can't complain too much |
  placeholder text |
| This yuki-onna arc has completely reinvigorated my interest in the series! Yuki-Onna and Masayuki are great together; I hope everything works out between them. |
 |
| We finally get that "suiri" part in the title. Was fun just listening to Kotoko's accusations and how the couple reacted. Looking forward to next episode and maybe we'll see Kurou |
| Oh wow, that was a cruel roller coaster, here I was thinking that the worst happened and Masayuki was using Yuki onna but this was all instead to finally bring them closer together, I don't want this case to end but I really want a complete happy ending for those two. |
| Police do be questioning him a lot when he's clearly innocent, I mean they attempted to murder him and those police men won't even understand that part. I'm glad the yuki-ona went to the lady for assistance and apparently she figured out who the culprit is but we got left on a cliffhanger, because why not. In the meantime it looks like Kurou managed to get himself an job, so props to him (If im right that is). |
  |
| Kotoko legit had me doubt Masayuki for a moment there, though if it wasn't for her coming out and say it was just so to provoke him and have him realize the importance of goods Yuki-onnn's been doing for him thus far, I would've believed her theory quite easily lol. Though that's just like her, she really loves weaving tales full of lies. Last season it was Saki and now Yuki-onna. This series giving heck of fine ladies nonstop. So much to look forward next episode. |
 |
| I have to admit that this season is a lot better than the first one, and I actually like this arc with Yuki-Onna and Masayuki. Let's hope that it won't be dragged out for the rest of this season and that we can get more interesting stories. |
| I sometimes forget to finish my sentences. |
| So Kuro preferred to work at his builder's job rather than help out with Kotoko, huh? I must say, seeing her chomp on that convenience store food while ranting about him was pretty funny! XD Once again, this was a compelling episode to watch. The pressure was on for Masayuki as the police were building up their case against him, not helped by the fact they have a security camera picture of when he and Yuki-Onna went out on their date, as she looks very close to Masayuki's ex-wife. It was a good thing for her to reach out to Kotoko for help. However, she didn't make things easy after their introductions, as Kotoko unleashed her plan of lies on Masayuki with excellent effect before giving the game away when she was satisfied that he had learned his lesson and make him realise how much Yuki-Onna cares for him and to get them closer. A cruel plan, maybe, but it was one of those plans that was necessary to get the answer out with the best result possible. As before, this arc has been fascinating and I look forward to seeing how it will conclude, as Kotoko knows who was responsible for killing Masayuki's ex-wife. |
| damn Kotoko be manipulating me into believing her theories |
| this is in spectre should be !!! i loved this show !! |
| Fantastic episode, definitely one of the best of the entire show. It's interesting how episode 2 and the police interrogation in the first half of this episode made it so thoroughly convincing that Masayuki was innocent (e.g. the cops were way too quick to just take Miharu's note at its word when the rest of the evidence they had against him was circumstantial at best), yet Kotoko's fake theory was strong enough to flip that around almost immediately even though she basically made it up on the spot: the use of these fake theories is always one of my favourite aspects of the show and this was such a strong example of how to use the concept well. Now that Kotoko is on the scene (and without Kuro to "control" things for once), I'm very interested in the truth of this case, or at least whatever "truth" Kotoko presents to clear Masayuki of suspicion. |

She didn't just want to inform him of the danger of their relationship, she also wanted to cure his severe trust issue. She acted that way to prove that there's indeed someone out there who believes in him even when goddess herself says otherwise. Someone who absolutely would do ANYTHING for him, gone to hell and back. Action speaks louder than words. |

__andre__ said: Lol, have you seen any of those publically available police interrogation videos on YouTube? No matter how "innocent" you are, the police will always try to force a confession out of you, even going so far as to pretend to have evidence they don't have just to see if you'll crack.Police do be questioning him a lot when he's clearly innocent. |

Yeah I've seen plenty of those, truly sickening. |
| |
| What she said is pretty scary, I almost thought it might be true, but she's here to help them! |
 |
| I nearly received a heart attack when Kotoko suggested that Masayuki was manipulating Yuki-Onna, would hate to see a twist like that. Luckily, that was not the case. I was thinking if it's possible that his wife orchestrated it all though I don't see why she would go so far as to kill herself unless there's another spirit or person behind it. Maybe Rikka's making another move? (Unlikely) |
 |
| Masayuki's stint with his past isn't over yet: his divorced wife Miharu being murdered, and the fine details interrogated by the police to make it sound like he was the one who committed the crime. Unfortunately, the yuki-onna is his only alibi that looked like his dead wife, trying to help him tie down the culprit. And the only way to get help is from the Goddess of Wisdom herself, Kotoko. Of course, Kuro would prioritize work over Kotoko, that's natural. But back to the topic, Kotoko trying to align both Yuki-Onna and Masayuki on the facts and theories, and as much as she lays down the detrimental info that seeks to destroy their expectations, Kotoko's not letting down on them easy. Except that what she muttered was all a lie, and this goes to show the extent of the challenge between yokai and master, even if the theories told are the truth or fake. I almost forgot how terrifying Kotoko can be, she's one hell of a goddess. |
 |
| Fantastic turn around episode, Kotoko firing on all cylinders is exactly what I watch this show for. Best of all, her whole spiel was basically to point out that Masayuki needs to get over himself and get it on with Yuki, who adores him. |
| Quantum ille canis est in fenestra |
| Kotoko is so embarrassing of a "Goddess of Wisdom", but she's SO FRIGGIN ADORABLE! Oh and AYYYY, Our Aoi "Yuki" Icy Bae ship is OFFICIALLY SAILING THE SEAS! <3 |
 |
| back to the problem of last episode, Masayuki is talking to the police about his ex-wife's death (tbh she deserved it, trying to kill her husband in a trafic accident, putting others in danger as well?) ... she even went ahead and wrote about him being the murderer in a paper in case she was killed? as much as he hasn't seen her for over an year, the footage with Yuki might say otherwise, and it's not like he can show her to them oh, that's cute, he married her cause she reminded him of Yuki, but that's also a problem, since he was thinking about Yuki and not about his wife wanting to catch the real culprit, he tries to leave, but Yuki gets mad and almos freezes him lols might as well eat her half cooked food but now what? things aren't looking good ... there's only 2 ways of solving this, either show Yuki, or have a detective (cough cough main girl) discover the real culprit ... i'm sure Yuki will ask her right away (and she indeed mentioned her right after i said it lol) time to fly, till we meet the goddess, and she sure is pretending to be angry LOL she could have gone to his house but she thought it would cause troubles, she knows oh, so that's why she is angry, cause Kurou didn't come with her, that face :D did that pet slap Yuki's ass? :v wow, Kotoko went ahead and told them about the possibilty of him actually being the culprit and how he could use Yuki for revenge lol as much as i don't want to believe that story, she has some point well, after making him mad and making Yuki talk like that (agains't her God), she finally came down to explaining that she knew he wasn't the murderer, but still needed this talk, to show how much Yuki likes him and finally he accepted her feelings Kotoko also knows who the culprit is, but that's for next episode |
favorite "new girls" from summer <3 ... click sig for older seasons and more possible picks (rip all the other choices) |
| Well, that sure is a way to help you move forward with your life... by accusing the living shit out of you and almost mindbreak-ing the lovely youkai that believes in you. This episode sure showed me the importance of having Kurou around lol. And of course Kotoko believed in his innocence only because he didn't bang Yuki-Onna lol. |
| wew! oh man lewd! i'd like to see more romance between Tatsumaki x Saitama....oh wrong show...i meant the VAs hahaha lolz go for it man! this Yuki-Onna is one of the most beautiful Yuki-Onna visually! 5/5. |
 |
| Kotoko really made me believe all of what she said, that was really clever, I'm loving how things are turning out to be and I can't wait to discover who's the culprit |
 |
| This series has some top tier writing and direction when it gets you to believe other plausible theories without insulting your intelligence. 9/10 |

| Damn he married a woman who looked like the yuki onna only to get backstabbed and even after her death she didn't forget to drag him down with her, what a sad life he has had so far. Kotoko did a great job of showing him how much yuki onna cares for him, hopefully this means they'll get together and will be making babies soon. |
 |
| Before I knew it, the episode was done. I hope the 2 get together. |
| All men, kings or peasants, die equally. |
| Best episode so far! +1 |
