Utawarerumono - ep 24
Hmm.. I think there’s a lot of significance in how the plot is going, but I’m totally losing it. Haha. I guess I’ll find out when I finish watching the series
With Urutorii’s declaration, everybody are now enemies with the Kunnekamun. Somehow, there are ways to defeat the Avu Kamuu now, though heavy casualties are suffered.
When Hakuoro’s army are crossing a bridge, they encounter an army of undead. Though the army is easily defeated by hakuoro’s harem, Hakuoro is suddenly teleported to the palace by Dii, and he is accompanied by Genjimaru and Eruruu.
Kamyuu is there, who spouts her nonsense about why it was necessary for her to wage war on everybody. Getting into her Avu Kamuu, she attacks hakuoro, but is easily defeated as well. She cannot bring herself to kill hakuoro in the end, and ends up surrendering as well.
Dii arrives, together with Hauenkua and Hien. Hakuoro’s harem arrives as well. Even as Hakuoro’s powers start to manifest, Urutorii assures him that it’s alright, that she’ll teleport everyone away, so he can use his powers. Of course, Hauenkua and Hien are swiftly defeated.
All this while, there have been hints in conversation between Genjimaru and Dii about a contract between them.
Even as Dii’s pawns are defeated, Kamyuu appears from behind a pillar. Dii calls out to Mutsumi, and Kamyuu transforms into Mutsumi. Mutsumi apparently has no problems fighting with Hakuoro’s monster form.
Even as the two are fighting, Dii asks Genjimaru about his contract again, saying that if he breaks it, he’ll be condemned with the greatest sin. Genjimaru rebutts by saying that even at the making of the contract, he has already been filled with sin. Describing the times where Genjimaru worked for Dii as the greatest, Genjimaru attacks Dii, but is quickly blown away. Kuuya is totally horrified, even as the only parts left of Genjimaru is his eyepatch and some blood.
In the end, Dii talked about Genjimaru’s death saving Kyuuya’s life. Dii leaves together with Mutsumi, with Mutsumi asking why Hakuoro didn’t choose her, and can only say goodbye to her “other-father”.
Thoughts
Oh? I didn’t expect Dii and Hakuoro to be the same, but opposites, which they seem to be. And I do wonder what role Kamyuu plays, as the one in the middle. Calling them father?
And what role will Eruruu play? For it seems her contract is similar to that of Genjimaru’s with Dii.
