Something amusing just occurred to me when reading the last post.
Seems to me like the common factor between Matsuri and Takeshi is that weird Yaka Blade. In the early episodes, Takeshi used it against Matsuri and he was pretty much a villian about it. Then in episode 10, Matsuri shows up with it, along with a change in personality.
We all know what's happened since then.
It's all the sword's fault I say!
