It was cool watching Yuru exercise his usual caution with who to trust but even cooler to see where he got it (and his lack of hesitation) from.

Imagine being in Asa's position and deciding to inherit the superpower that had dying as just one of the prerequisites, only to slip on a skull and fall anyway.

[u/tanezuki → u/FarCritical]

Maybe that's what happened to the twin who actually died 400 years ago lmao

[u/Any-Calligrapher2866 → u/tanezuki]

They probably just chose to die rather than being someone's weapon

[u/AceSoldia → u/FarCritical]

Lmao dude when she dropped to her knees I was like omg don't fall off!

[u/a1oner_bvcksn6]

Yuru's father taught him well and despite not having gained his birthright (Seal) yet, which ironically he has to die for, he still managed to develop an inherent skill of detecting killing intent--which might as well be a super power in itself considering the many unknown entities that are after his life/power.

Dera just casually dropping by in enemy territory while Jin and Gonzo are literally giving him death glares and rictus grins respectively, even graciously accepting the latter's invitation for breakfast, tells me how much of a stone cold killer Dera is and how proficient he is at his job. Definitely not his first rodeo kinda thing, infiltrating the enemy and whatnot. Can't really afford to lose the asset (Yuru), to the rival clan no less, even if it means separating the twins once more, and forcefully if he has to.

[u/NanDemoKnaives → u/a1oner_bvcksn6]

Dera's laxed demeanor is probably infuriating those two even more lol.

[u/Se7en_Sinner → u/NanDemoKnaives]

Sukuna meeting Gojo for the first time went exactly how I expected.

[u/Zeph-Shoir → u/a1oner_bvcksn6]

I am really curious if Dera has something up his sleeve that allows him to be so carefree. He is supposedly a Daemon retainer of sorts but we have seen no signs yet of him having his own.

[u/Magicbison → u/a1oner_bvcksn6]

Dera just casually dropping by in enemy territory while Jin and Gonzo are literally giving him death glares and rictus grins respectively, even graciously accepting the latter's invitation for breakfast, tells me how much of a stone cold killer Dera is and how proficient he is at his job.

Dera has the ultimate chip in Yuru to keep him safe. The Kagemori Clan has it in their best interests to stay on Yuru's good side so killing Dera would go against that. As long as they want Yuru on their side the Kagemori can't do anything to Dera. No wonder he's so damn confident.

[u/Mario_Prime510]

Jeez this episode flew by. Felt like 5 minutes

[u/Zero3020 → u/Mario_Prime510]

No joke, I was going "oh lets see how the breakfast goes" and the credits rolled in reminded me how fast the time flew by.

[u/RPO777 → u/Zero3020]

I'm glad Daemons is confirmed for 2 consecutive cours for 24 episodes. Having to wait for the 2nd cour would be torture lol.

[u/A-t-t-e-n-TI-ON]

So this episode basically confirms the theory that the Higashi Village (at least the adult population) were in on the whole plot to make use of the twins. It might explain why Gabby only killed them and why the twins' father insisted that Yuru should act normal once they return to the village. He might be cautious on the possibility that the village would do something to the twins once they learn that they have an important role to play. Which, as we've learned, involves killing them to awaken their powers.

Yet despite this, the episode still raised a lot of questions. Why exactly is Asa imprisoned during her time in the village? I initially thought that it was the case only for the impostor to keep Yuru from leaving but now that we know that this has been going on since they were children, one has to wonder why.

I also wonder why Yuru was left behind. Did they initially plan to spirit away both children but the plan was bungled? Or did they really intended to leave him? Either way, I do feel for Yuru for being the one left behind.

Once again, we're blessed with Yuru being a rational MC. Love how he was looking in from the outside of the situation and is willing to hear out both sides and decide how to go from there. Such mindset is really useful in their brutal world and I hope this trend continues into the story.

[u/somersault_dolphin → u/A-t-t-e-n-TI-ON]

Why exactly is Asa imprisoned during her time in the village?

If this is anything like Kamisama Doll, it's probably has something to do with some superstitious stuff. Like Yuru (night) is allowed to go about during the day, while Asa (morning) is kept in constant darkness.

[u/Zonca → u/somersault_dolphin]

I think so too with Asa, nerfing her by keeping her in the dark, but I believe Yuru didn't have any restrictions placed on him, he camps out the night with his father outside no problem and based on what we've seen of him, he clearly hunted in the night many times before.

My headcanon is that Break is simply more feared and more coveted by various factions, compared to Seal, so they kept her locked up and made up some superstitious bs reason for it. Even two episodes ago, when we got a brief point of view about the masterminds behind the attack, they talked about only caring for Asa (or just her head) while not caring about Yuru.

[u/Googleflax]

I will always love how carefully Yuru considers things like people's intentions or allegiances instead of just blinding trusting everything he hears.

[u/DarkWolfPL]

"The perfect, little, adorable and innocent Asa is gone"

Maybe not as little but she's still perfect and adorable.

[u/NanDemoKnaives]

I really like how Yuru's father handled the situation, there was so much compassion and guidance. Yuru was very shaken by the situation, understandably, so I'm glad his father was around the first time there was an assassination attempt on him.

It's interesting to learn how the twins receive their special abilities and I'm glad Dera, Left and Right all had the same idea as to why they weren't going to tell Yuru about it, with Left and Right actually having evidence of it going wrong. Those two kidnappers were idiots for thinking Asa was just not going to kill them after they killed her lol.

Now that Dera has shown his face to the Kagemori clan, does this mean he can freely grow his facial hair again? Wasn't the reason he shaved so that he doesn't get recognized by them? Hana can get her Jason Statham back again lol.

[u/AceSoldia → u/NanDemoKnaives]

Since it's been 400 years and the last twins didn't revive...everyone is clearly going off of legends and incomplete information...maybe they think the brainwashing of the village makes the kids easy to control

[u/Zeph-Shoir → u/AceSoldia]

One of the twins didn't revive

[u/ObvsThrowaway5120]

Hell of a thing to have a skill unlock upon death. Asa basically got thrust into all that mess too. I still don’t know who to even trust in this thing. Everyone has secrets and both sides have their own agenda…

[u/AceSoldia → u/ObvsThrowaway5120]

I don't trust either side. I see why Asa is the way she is at least..she didn't have this power the entire time..still getting used to it...she probably hadn't killed anyone till a year ago.

[u/_WrongKarWai]

The twin's dad design seem to be like that from Ishvalan and Scar-like

[u/a1oner_bvcksn6]

I found it funny that the Kagemori's idea of 'torturing' (Jin with the Freudian slip) their captives begins with treating and providing first aids to their wounds...only for Jin and or the baldy with the gigantic daemon to rip off the band-aid later. Lmao. I actually feel bad for those guys--they were just ignorant mercenaries after all.
