Utawarerumono – ep 22
While I was generally expecting to see Hakuoro’s beast form, I sure wasn’t expecting the different revelations given. Two question arises. Did Eruruu know all along who Hakuoro really was. How did Hakuoro jump from the human world to the world where he is now. Or is that the future. *ponders*
The Avu Kammu approaches and Hauenkua taunts. Unable to take it, Oborro charges at him, only to find that not only does he deal no damage, but his blade breaks as well. Retreating into the fortress, they employ ballistaes instead, as Hakuoro’s idea. While knocking Hauenkua backwards, it still does not damage, and in the end, everything is destroyed, and kurou gets heavily injured. Hakuoro arrives, asking everyone to retreat, insisting that he has a plan and will act as a diversion.
Actually, he has none, and is soon cornered by Hauenkua. Just as Hauenkua is about to break hakuoro, Mukuru arrives with aruruu, and succeeds to knock Hauenkua backwards too. In fact, Mukuru seems like a match for him, with its agility. But suddenly, Hauenkua strikes at it, dealing a death blow to aruruu in the process.
Hakuoro screams in anguish, and rushes to carry arurru. eruruu arrives at this point just to see Hauenkua step on both of them. But suddenly, a black fog encasts Hauenkua’s Avu Kammu’s leg, dissolving the armor. Soon, a beast appears, which easily defeats two of the accompanying Avu Kammu.
Rushing to Arurru, Eruruu realises that she’s dead.
A flashback, (okie. i’m not so sure if it’s a flashback) shows a scene in a lab. A scientist (with hakuoro’s voice), is questioning another on the species on display. The 2nd scientist claims that it’s the missing link in evolution, but proceeds to shoot the first one, splattering the fossil with blood, seemingly awakening it.
Back to the present, the beast easily destroys Hauenkua’s Avu Kammu which ends up ejecting Hauenkua. A final killing blow splatters blood all over Hauenkua before he runs away.
Eruruu gets a flashed back to long ago, where aruruu had gone missing. When eruruu finds her, she’s bleeding non-stop. Just as eruruu screams about giving all to get aruruu back, the beast appears. In exchange for eruruu’s everything, he’ll resurrect aruruu.
Back to the present, aruruu suddenly heals, and waking up, she looks at the beast and calls him “daddy”. (hakuoro)
Next day, Hakuoro wakes up, but finds the beast hands on himself, instead of his own hands. But it seems to be a nightmare, as he wakes up again, but with his normal hands. Eruruu brings him tea, explaining that Kunnekamun has retreated, everybody is back and aruruu is playing outside. Without saying or explaining anything more, eruruu asks Hakuoro to rest, and leaves him alone.
Thought
Wow.
Fast paced. I like.
Anyway, I really want to find out whether those scientists are part of the present, or part of the past. And well, I want the answer to the question I posted at the start too. Really exciting stuff.
