Spoiler for Episode 1 (super massive episode-ending spoilers!):

Spoiler for View at your own risk, if you haven't watched the episode yet!:

"Brother's friend" and "friend's brother" seem a bit surprised ...


O_O!!
So am I!


Alright, so neither of their reactions were really about Shin Ou himself, but ... Shin Ou is actually ALIVE now??? From the end of the TV series, my impression was that his spirit wasn't actually destroyed, but returned to the Temple to continue guiding the Mazoku.

But ...

Oh YEAH! That's ... so unexpectedly awesome. Can we see Murata use some more maryoku this time, please?

Well, that explains Ulrike's behavior at the very end of episode 78.

Spoiler for End of episode 78/End of OAV episode 1:

Remember, while Wolfram was...expressing his...er...happiness at Yuuri's return, Ulrike turned to look back toward the temple with a surprised expression, which turned to one of joy. Obviously she'd sensed Shinou's return. I guess the "reincarnation" he and Murata had been talking about turned out to be of the more immediate variety.
