Utawarerumono - ep 23
How did Lord Ouren get saved immediately. I had to fight through a big battle to do it in the game. Anyway, wouldn’t it be interesting if Hakuoro was living in some artificial world like matrix all these while. I would like to see how the scientist story line links up with everything.
Hauenkua wakes up from a nightmare of the previous battle, and can only end up crawling to Dii for help.
News of the defeat reaches Kuuya. Genjimaru advises that they stop their attacks, but Kuuya feels that “this battle cannot be given up on”. After the court meeting, Genjimaru follows and confronts Dii. Just as Genjimaru starts to try to get information from him by force, Dii’s speed and remarks causes him to realise who he is. Genjimaru is left being surprised that Dii “woke up” so soon.
Aruruu is being her playful self while eruruu does the laundry. This causes eruru to remember the promise that she gave to Hakuoro’s beast form. Hugging Aruruu, she can only say how she has given up everything all just for her.
Later during another meeting, Hakuoro’s mind wanders off, where he faces off his beast form, until the rest call him back.
Back in his private room, Eruruu is taking care of him. Hakuoro tries to enquire about what happened that day, but Eruruu walks off without letting him complete his questions. Hakuoro tries to call out to her, but starts getting dizzy.
Suddenly, hakuoro finds himself in a lab. He sees a girl who looks like eruruu, but she simply walks past him. Instead, she goes over to wake up a guy lying down, who looks like hakuoro, and is wearing a mask just like his. A hologram of a scientist named Mizushima appears, and the guy talks to him. Mizushima refers to him as Iceman, but it seems like he can’t remember a thing from previously. Mizushima also adresses the girl as 3510, an artificial being. Though Mizushima can’t give her a name, he tells the guy to do so. The guy ends up giving the girl the name Mikoto. Surprisingly, Mikoto then addresses the guy as Hakuoro, but suddenly, Hakuoro (the uh. one from present times) is woken up by eruruu.
Genjimaru and Sakuya are seen fleeing from a pair of Avu Kamuu. In the forest, Genjimary asks Sakuya to find a place to hide, while he comes out to confront the two Avu Kamuu. He successfully defeats them, but attacking parts that are unarmored, as well as successfully blocking the attacks of the Avu Kamuu. All this is witnessed by Kurou.
Kurou brings the two back, to meet hakuoro. Genjimaru asks Hakuoro to stop the Kunnekamun, as he believes that what they are doing will only lead to destruction. However, Hakuoro reminds him that considering what he’s doing, he is a traitor, even though he is doing it out of loyalty. But Genjimaru still believes that this is the right thing to do. Hakuoro decides to trust Genjimaru in the end.
Back in private, Eruruu is bandaging Hakuoro, just as she was doing the first time they met, as hakuoro reminds her. But this reminds her of the earthquake, and the time she first met the beast also. Hakuoro asks if eruruu will stay by his side forever, to which eruruu forcibly says yes.
However, before attacking Kunnekamun, they need to gather the strength of all the scattered tribes. It seems impossible. But Lord Ouren can do it, and Genjimaru reveals that he is still alive. Hence Hakuoro sends out a party to rescue him.
Later, as eruruu puts Yuzuha to bed, Yuzuha comments that eruruu looks like she’s lacking energy. In fact, her hands felt very cold. Yuzuha further adds that she can get the warmth back through the body of Hakuoro, especially since you can get warmth from the one you love.
Later, while eruruu is brushing her hair, and tearing at the same time, Urutorii comes and ask if they could chat. Urutorii hints that she knows about Hakuoro. She adds that Witsuarunemitea is their faith, and looking after it has been their duty. Urutorii apologises as she could not talk about it eariler. Ututorii adds that she wants to tell eruruu that the heart cannot be given to anyone, only by herself. It cannot be taken forcibly by contract to a God, and it’s better for her to live as her heart chooses.
That night, eruruu agrees to follow Hakuoro, this time her heart is behind it too.
Everybody returns from rescuing Urutorii’s father, who passes the title of Oruyankuru to Urutorii.
Thoughts
Hakuoro is a God!
Seems like all these while, eruruu never realised who hakuoro truely was. When he ask her to stay with him, must be truly ironic, considering tthe things his beast form asked for from eruruu
Concluding episode coming soon, and we shall get to see why eruruu is the main character, even though she’s has been mostly useless as part of the harem.
I think the most interesting part would be to see what role the scientist plot plays with everything. That’s the part I want to know most.
It would be quite funny is Dii ends up being the scientist Mizushima.
and I must say that aruruu is one of the most innocent characters around.
