I dont think that their efforts will be futile their presence will instrumental in giving Zakuro the courage to fight against her brother. Omodaka will try to use that to his advantage. Seeing the people who truly care for her will give her the strength to fight. The others can take care of the small fry. I love the fact that Omodake looks like his mother (whom he despised) while Zakuro looks like her father (the lingering proof of her mothers love for another man) Seeing Zakuro will always be proof that her mother loved a human the irony is overwhelming.

I didn't mean for her to fight and protect her human lover in that instant but more to have acted initially. Well, she did eventually act. when she knocked out those guards and escaped with Zakuro at the end, so she's very capable. I just think she's so ingrained with a subserviant attitude that she didn't initially stand up for her beliefs. Her conversation with Kushimatsu right after that old geezer's nightly visit showed that she simply accepted her fate. Plus, she cherished her own kind and thought she was doing them a great service by giving them a powerful heir. It's not until she mingled with the human farmers that she began to see things in a different light. Quote:

I would guess he/she will have powers at least. Since Zakuro is a half-spirit but her powers are even greater than her full spirit mom suggests that a dilution of blood doesn't seem to affect the power level.

I like how the theme of wanting to be loved by someone connects the protagonists and antagonists alike . Even the least sympathetic character, the spider lady, appears to be suffering from unrequited love. Obviously I don't condone the way she goes about dealing with. It's sad how she ruthlessly uses the younger sister to vent her frustration and exact her vengeance., when the poor girl is dealing with similar emotions. She just wants to be loved/accepted by someone!!

Lots of little hints and flags are adding up in my mind. For example:

Eehhh... Zakueo is asleep and shows no reactions, she couldn't be suprised because of Agemaki hearing her mother.
And I duno... the problem with many stories is that authors forgets such details as normal human can't fight someone abnormal, especially it gets forgotten in final fights.

Omodaka's situation reminds me a bit of DRRR!! when all that was needed to solve the characters' conflicts was to be honest to each other, and not hide things leading to reckless assumptions and actions. In fact, if from Omodaka's side compromises were possible, he wouldn't have needed to retreat to such measures.

It's good that we were shown something at all, they might as well could have left Zakuro in her trance without showing anything. That she was able to face those 'male half-spirits' and then apologizing to them was a step towards a good direction. Zakuro meeting Omodaka also presents the stepstone for the final episode. Now they just have to set Rangui straight, punch some light into Daidai (and save her when needed), clear up the misunderstandings and eventually give those poor treated half spirits a happy end.

I noticed a neat little thing in the OP for 11 (haven't checked out if it's in episode 12 yet) but it was changed to make it clear that Hanadate is Omodaka, just a little detail that I thought was rather cool.
