Wow, with this episode I don't know what to think
but one of my suspicions was indeed correct.
Spoiler
:
Is it mental illness, split personality?
OR:
Supernatural possession of at least one major
character, the demon wearing Mion's (or is it
Shion?) body like an average human would
wear a suit of clothes.
It seems there is a time when the demon
allows Mion some measure of control over
her own body (hence she wasn't able to
"hammer" his fingers despite apparently
wanting to). But not always ("up until
now I've been trying my hardest....")
WHAM.
What now for the demon if Mion and Shion
are both dead? No more Sonozaki family to
rule over the town. What now?
Demon = no actual body but apparently
enamored of killing and torture for its
own amusement. Uses bodies of various
humans to do its bidding.
Supernatural malevolent being who
apparently has been feeding off of this
town and its people for centuries.
Great. Not.
Torture devices for enforcing strict laws in
a particular town. Questionable. I suspect
some being/persons or both were really
enjoying their little rituals. Lots of blood lust
whether some were half-human/half-demon
or not.
Is it REALLY Mion or is it in fact Shion in a
demon-enforced (or mental illness) sisterly
role reversal? A third sister? The one that
appeared at the end some kind of apparition
with the ability to control solid objects?
We don't know.
And in the end, was that a hallucination from
Oishi's smoke or was it really her - well, she
used one nail with the hammer and since he
was in a bed and not strapped down he
theoretically could have leaped out of the
way despite being rather painful.
What a freaking mindblower this series is.
So, now the next one. Mindblowing all the way around.
It almost appears that the first four:
Spoiler
:
Favored some kind of organized ring of killers using drugs.
And the next four:
Spoiler
:
Seemed to favor the supernatural possession plot.
Will the next:
Spoiler
:
Favor the mental illness tact?
Who knows but I can't wait!
