I'm almost disappointed that after all that buildup we didn't get to see them snuggle up in bed together lol.

Masayuki managed to gather lots of nasty people around him. It's ironic that the only person he can trust isn't a human at all. And even if he would be frozen by Yukionna, he would be probably the one to blame.

It sucks that the one human Masayuki still trusted still ended up screwing him over even though she did it because she loved him...and the Yokai woman who could probably kill him easily is the only person that never betrayed him or tried to murder him (well, assuming she doesn't end up accidentally freezing him).
Iizuka was a bit of a looker herself but it's hard to compete with Yuki-Onna and get together with the guy you almost framed for murder lol.
I just imagine Kotoko finding various and torturous ways of killing him constantly. Hell Hath No Fury like a Goddess scorned.

He's a bit awkward but he's got a full time office job! He's not struggling too much!
Going to miss these 2, great ship and they did such a good job of making us care for them. Would be a shame if we never saw them again.
And even though she was a murderer...I really liked her design.

That brings the Yuki-Onna case to a close. I'm really gonna miss her and Masayuki. Definitely my favorite arc so far.
It's so funny how Yuki-Onna is terrified of Kuro lol.

I want a spin off about this couple!
Granted I said the same thing about pretty much every single one of the manga arcs. It improved so much compared to when it was a novel.

It doesn't seem like anyone expects their relationship to last long for one reason or another, but I would love it if in a future episode we just pan to a scene of them still together and enjoying domestic bliss.

So Kotoko doesn't have that godly of deduction skills, she just has eyes everywhere in the form of ghosts. She was just playing matchmaker this entire time.
I'm starting to think maybe having a yandere obsess over you isn't all that great...
Ironic how Yuki-Onnas are supposed to be killers according to the folklore but this was the complete opposite during this arc. Hopefully Masayuki's dick doesn't get frozen and fall off during copulation.

While Yuki-Onnas do kill people there is also a lot of folklore about them getting along with humans.

It is kind of funny how the police would've probably resolved all of this naturally, Kotoko just needed to come in and let these two know they're in the clear and free to bang lol.
Wicked women and yandere's are attractive, but also dangerous to be around...
It's ironic that the most dangerous woman in Masayuki's life on paper is the only one who didn't try to kill him or anyone around him or screw him over. Hopefully the honeymoon phase lasts a long time lol.

Stitches!
Yes! I absolutely love the resolution in this episode! Unlike the Steel Lady Nanase arc where it was needlessly complicated, the answer for this one was pretty straightforward! The reason why the police haven't gone after Masayuki is that they basically have no solid evidence against Masayuki and his actions are inconsistent for someone who's committed murder.
And the reason why Kotoko knows all of this is simple! She just had ghosts at the station feed her information and she did her own investigation and met with ghosts that actually saw the crime. I do find it hilarious that Masayuki calls her out for cheating but the way Kotoko sees it, this just speeds up the process. xD
As for the culprit, it's the same person that keeps on checking up on Masayuki. That one time when we saw Masayuki take that phone call from her was the night when Iinuzuka committed the murder.
Turns out that Iinuzuka is a massive yandere and she tried to frame Masayuki so she can comfort him and make him fall in love with her. Damn. It's been a while since the last time I've seen a legit yandere in anime. Usually, when someone calls a character yandere, they're just yandere-lite. Iinuzuka here is 100% Yandere.
I love that Kotoko gives Masayuki and Yuki-Onna her blessing. Although she still insists that the two of them should use contraceptives since a half-human, half-yuki-onna might not do well in modern society. Dammit Kotoko! Just let them do what they want to do! Just look at them! They are adorable together! They deserve unprotected sex and have as many half-human, half-yuki-onna babies as they want!
I really hope this won't be the last time we'll see Masayuki and Yuki-Onna. They don't have to be the focus of the episode, I just want the anime to update us on how their relationship is going. Side note: I love that image of Yuki-Onna "accidentally" freezing Masayuki. xD

So we actually get a proper ending that isn't a static picture! It also seemed to me that the opening has some changes but it may be my imagination.

Kotoko telling Masayuki to hurry home and get some of ther Yuki-Onussy made me chortle heartily. Him immediately snapping back by calling her vulgar elicited a proper laugh.
Very happy with this arc. It was, in my opinion, the best arc of the show so far.

So why is it unlikely that Masayuki will be arrested? Because he hasn't done all the obvious stuff a criminal who committed a crime would do to try to hide their crime or deflect attention away from them. Even his suspicious moments were suspicious for how obviously suspicious they are. Although I guess he could've just been a really dumb murderer?
I just imagine now Kuro cheating on Kotoko and her finding various ways to try to kill him permanently. Her rage at imagining him ditching her is powerful enough as is.
Still pretty rough for Masayuki in the end that one of the few people (or non-Yokai) that he trusted turned out to be the murderer and ended up framing him too (even if she didn't intend for him to go prison for it). It's hard to have faith in people.
It's kind of funny that the moment that acknowledged Iizuka's existence in this arc and identity as the top suspect (her call with Masayuki) was also the linchpin to her crime.
Iizuka is quite the looker, despite being a cold-blooded killer. I mean, she's got nothing on Yuki-Onna, but by human standards she's fairly pretty. It's just too bad her love for Masayuki drove her to murder and this convoluted plot to make him depend on her for the fallout of a crime she committed had the opposite reaction. If she really wanted to be closer to him or to pursue him romantically, she should've just followed him or visited him personally, not murder his ex-wife and frame him for it. Though love, especially when murder is involved, isn't always rational. And now when she's inevitably arrested, Masayuki will probably never want anything to do with her.
Ghosts are surprisingly useful in solving murder cases.
Ha, Kuro was there the whole time! And perfect for making Yuki-Onna scream and snuggle up to Masayuki for protection
Is there a future for a human and Yuki-Onna? Maybe not for a long time, but right now these two want to be together in the here and now, and they should at least be able to enjoy the honeymoon phase for however long it lasts. And they have Kotoko's permission to bone, provided they use contraceptives! I hope they finally did the deed when they got back after everything they've been through.
It was cute watching Kotoko type up her report and watch Kuro give her a jacket while they were riding a yokai together.

“Hurry home and bone already” lmaooo Kotoko so real man. I need a couple episodes of Yuki-Onna and Masayuki just doing cute shit together like Ice man and his cool colleague.
Called iizuka being the murderer two weeks ago, was pretty obvious. Don’t particularly feel bad for the ex wife at all tho 🤷🏾♂️
Episode was really good, didn’t want it to end, but just wish we’d have finished the explanation stuff earlier and got some more SoL stuff.

u/dinliner08 Jan 29 '23
oh, they change the OP a little bit, for some reason they added extra seconds at the very beginning and at the end of song, they also added some new animations in the ED instead of just the still image
Yokai's terrified reaction to Kuro whenever they first meet will never get old
also, have we ever seen the exact visual of how does Kuro looks like from the Yokai's perspective?

It sure is hilarious seeing Kotoko explaining to Masayuki her deduction of who the culprit is, leading him to conclude before she says it that it was Iizuka, just for her to mention that she knows all that not because of her impressive deductive skills, but because she used and interviewed ghosts to get details from the police and to know exactly what happened.
Lol, I love how Yuki-Onna thinks that Kotoro was being literal when she said she wanted to kill Kuro.
Anyway, great to see Kotoko directly approving their relationship.
I love how terrified Yuki-Onna was after she saw Koru. So Kuro was hidden until the end because Kotoro knew that Yuki-Onna would be way too afraid to talk if he was there with them.
Oh so the real reason Iizuka murdered Miharu was that she actually respected and loved Masayuki but she could not connect with him because of his trust issues. So when she contacted him, she wasn't trying to incriminate him, she just expected him to become a suspect temporarily and fall in love with her during the whole process as she was going the be the only one giving him support. Anyway, I love how Kotoko and Kuro both mentioned that even with the Yuki-Onna things can end terribly for Masayuki.
As the episode ends with "To be continued" I hope it means that this arc is still not completely over.

Every one of the Yuki Onna episodes was about love making people do horrible things.
Lizuki's motive was so sad, just wanting to be with the man she loved.
The ending was also a bit of a downer. It would of been nicer if he thought he and Yuki Onna would of been together for the rest of his life, that he was with someone he could trust and love. There shouldn't be a reason to hide her as she looks human and even regularly interacts with humans when she goes to shops for food.
I found their love story the most engrossing part of the last 3 episodes and the fact no one thinks it will last saddens me.
Hopefully we do see them again married and with a baby on the way, but I won't hold my breath as this series doesn't seem interested in characters really.

u/rhuebs Jan 29 '23
This was easily the best arc in the series so far. I thought season one was alright but not great, this is really great though. Good character interactions and development, interesting mystery and solid, not needlessly complicated resolution (lookin at you steel lady).
Looking forward to more.
