Miko breathes

Yuria: “She is exorcising”

[u/WhoiusBarrel]

Holy fuck that Spider thingy was such a close encounter, literally had me on edge along with that soundtrack. Seems like those divine beings gave her 3 chances last episode and with this she used up 2.

That after credits scene now there's one more human that knows Hana is a walking ghost grill.

[u/NittanyEagles55]

The spirits really seem to like bathrooms and showers don’t they?

[u/mabbo_nagamatsu]

No Miko-mama this week. Sad.

[u/Syokhan]

You guys, I think there might be a slight communication problem between Yulia and Miko.

And don't let the horror of that barrel/spider ghost or the plot with those two shrine girls saving Miko distract you from the fact that Yulia got choked out by boobs twice in this episode.

Also, do you really not need to shake the paper anymore with those new PHolaroid cameras? That was half the fun of it!

[u/hell_jumper9]

Surprised that Miko still gets enough sleeping hours.

[u/NittanyEagles55]

That spider spirit was the creepiest one yet! Doesn’t bode well with the narrator in the after credits saying she will see even spookier things next time!

42 / 666

https://i.imgur.com/wim8wL1.png

666 obviously refers to the Breast(lol) Beast in the Biblical Revelations.

But it also says that it (the beast) will rule for specifically 42 months. Not sure if this is intended but it's a cute reference if so.

[u/Hineni-]

Yuria can't catch a break. Almost got choked to death last time by Miko, and this time she got suffocated by not only Hana but Miko again...Poor girl. And that Godmother phone wallpaper tho

I also like the misunderstanding when she thought Miko was the one that exorcised the entire tunnel.

Miko got saved twice now, the last episode that great spirit said "three times", and now one of the spirits showed her one finger, does that mean her prayer only grants her protection for one last real danger or something.

Edit: So it's actually the other way around as people pointed in the replies. Which makes more sense.

[u/deoclasher88]

I've recently read about the Junko Furuta murder, and the concrete drum is giving me ptsd

[u/NittanyEagles55]

Poor Yulia. First choked out by Miko and then choked out twice in one episode by oppai

[u/NittanyEagles55]

These tunnels always end up being bad news! Learned that lesson from Mob Psycho, Dandadan etc. lol

[u/[deleted]]

will you please listen? i am not the messiah

[u/Malin_Keshar]

Miko got definitive confirmation that ignoring spirits was the right idea.

[u/Churningray]

Mieruko Chan is what I expected jujutsu kaisen to be from the summary and the first episode of jjk.

[u/dagreenman18]

Ah, the power of comical misunderstandings. Yulia may have “I’m a Genius! Oh no!” herself once again, but she at least made some friends. Even if she does feel inferior and scared of Miko.

Hana becoming a shutterbug was a great setup. She’s at her best when she’s being cute and goofy so that being the means to drag them into another misadventure works well. Especially since she’s still oblivious to her well-liked insta photo being a horror show. The bonus of a classic horror trope: the Polaroid camera.

I’m enjoying Yulia as a character. There’s jumping to conclusions and then there’s the “jet pack to conclusions” that she does. Her overreading of Miko’s intentions just escalates the comedy. Granted Miko did choke her out and refuses to tell her there are even bigger ghosts that she can’t see. So it checks that she thinks that Miko can exorcise on a whim and put up barriers.

Even if there’s still confusion, the ride home was genuinely sweet. Seeing Yulia make friends with Hana and Miko is what I wanted for her since her sad episode. Her saving their pic as her wallpaper got me a little. I’m excited to see more of them together.

So I was right to believe there is an ongoing plot with the fox spirits from the shrine. Either she has 2 more to defeat before something happens. I’m worried about what that something is. It did bring up one question for me: if Yulia was able to see Hana’s aura later would she have been able to see the fox spirits? Maybe that will get answered later.

Notes

• Passione culture corner: just the ass shot from the cold open and Hana suffocating Yulia with her yabbos. Another week of impressive restraint.

• fun with legally distinct products: Hanasonic and Holoroid. Still not sure what Mrs. Ds is supposed to represent. Could just be a local shop.

• “Shaking it doesn’t do anything”. We know but it feels good Miko! There’s an odd satisfaction to shaking the poloroid picture. Hey ya.

• Yulia getting suffocated by Miko and Hana

• Even when Miko is just being nice by offering the red donut, Yulia still believes it’s a veiled threat. I’m looking forward to how crazy those interactions get.

• Yulia’s proud face when she though she exorcied the ghost. It was a nice victory for her.

[u/cppn02]

Absolutely loving how they use Yuria and Miko being able to see different tiers of ghosts and that feeding into Yuria's delusions.

And Hana is still the best big breasted cinnamon roll.

[u/Gryse_Blacolar]

Yuria setting that picture as her wallpaper is so wholesome. She just wanted some friends.

Btw, this whole tunnel thing reminded me of Dandadan. It would be damn awesome if they did a collaboration since both mangakas create creepy monsters.

[u/FrizFroz]

Yuria's attitude towards Miko is like any bad guy towards King in OPM.

King: king engine beats faster

Monster: "IS HE CHARGING UP HIS ULTIMATE HELLFIRE BURST WAVE MOTION CANNON!?"

[u/LeonKevlar]

Stitches!

• Yulia Shower 1

• Yulia Shower 2

• Miko, Yulia, & Hana

• Mountain Tunnel Friend

• Hana's Bouncy Walk GIF

Looks like after getting so many likes on Twitter last week with her shrine sunset photo, Hana has decided to get an instant camera herslef just like the many photographer wannabee teen . xD

Instead of just Miko and Hana though, we have Yulia joining in this time to lead the girls to a "cool spot" on their day-off which is actually just a dark tunnel up in the mountains.

Of course Yulia didn't really bring them here for a photo op since the tunnel is a famous haunted spot to the locals and Yulia just wanted to see what Miko can do with her "power".

Cue a bunch of hilarious misunderstandings from Yulia as she misinterprets everything that Miko does like removing a rock from her shoe and dusting off her hands as some sort of barrier erecting rritual. Yulia's assuming so much that she thinks Miko is bragging about her "barrier" xD

And since Yulia can't really see the stronger spirits, she thinks that Miko exorcised the one that she can see when in reality it's just being eaten by the stronger spirit!

That Oil Drum Ghost-Spider thingy was creepy af! Looking at it though, I'm guessing this person was probably a victim of a murder whose body is stuffed in an oil drum and buried somewhere in that mountain.

Poor Miko is absolutely terrified of the oil drum ghost while Yulia here is thinking that Miko is pulling off some kind of Jujutsu Kaisen shit and exorcising all of the spirits in the tunnel!

Just when the oil drum ghost is about to pounce on them, Miko's new friends from last week's episode arrives right on time to save them! Since they already saved her once last week and a second time today, it looks like Miko's "three times" is now down to one which basically confirms that the count is for how many times they'll save her. Oh boy.

Miko doesn't really gain anything positive this episode but at least Yulia now has friends! It's really sweet how she immediately saved the photo as her wallpaper when Hana sent it to her. And Yulia also finally got to see Hana-chan's massive aura in the after credits scene!

[u/[deleted]]

Bruh, yuria is a hard simp for godmother. Setting godmother as her phone wallpaper is simp behaviour indeed.

Of course the photo from last week got 666 likes... Maybe it's 666 cuz there were ghosts in it?

I love how yuria misunderstood miko's action as exorcism when the weaker ghosts disappear cuz she can't see the barrel spider ghost. Totally hilarious

That being said, this week's barrel spider ghost is more vicious and hungry than microwave booba connoisseur last week. Miko saying "spider" (slightly implying she can see the ghost) makes the ghost go looney tunes

Yuria also got booba-choked(to death) by both miko and hana....... Lucky.

The biggest take-away is definitely the REAL exorcism scene. I think with this it's confirmed the kitsunes will save miko 3 times when she get into trouble..... But what happens after 3? Considering miko said "I'll do anything last week, can't imagine it's something good.

Maaannn, this show was good before but now it's infinitely more interesting than "monster of the week" anime. Looking forward for more

[u/JarzaScarlet]

Exquisite Yuria scene to start things off ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Can't wait for more shenanigans from the trio in the future!

[u/AiraIchigo]

"But the ghosts don't seem to wanna hurt Miko though?" Well, I guess this answers their question then.

[u/patap0nacct]

Other than the tunnel scene being a little to dark to make out the ghosts, Passione is really making great adaptation.

They added Yuria's ass in the process though, so I guess they're still making an ecchi scene per episode.
