Yeeesh, at least if you're going to keep insulting someone use something other than "moaning hags." I mean seriously, what is that? We couldn't be any more opposite from hags, and whining is a better word than moaning since the latter can be easily misinterpreted by hentai fans on this board (conjuring up some rather disturbing and unneeded images in one's mind. In fact, this being the Utawarerumono forum, there's an Utawarerumono doujin... *rips eyes*), which makes you come off as a closet fetishist, and turns this thread several shades of wrong. So please, endorse properly applicative insults.
Ok sensei!
You know not all people is English mothertongue so they learn English at school and I knew that to moan = to whine... Now I'll pay more attention and I'll say "whining hags", ok?
Anyway the spoiler Cruzz gave me didn't spoil nothing: it only helped me to classify better Hakuoro... we already know that he isn't normal to begin with, unless it's considered normal to have a tiger-like monster inside of oneself.
If there is someone here who still didn't understand that Hakuoro has some kind of monster inside of him then he's really retarded!
But we are smart people and not retarded, right?

The moaning part isn't a big deal. But hag? Where did that come from? I hope I don't remind you of your grandmother. That's just creeeeeeeepy.

Okay, you're plain, outright wrong here. The spoiler Cruzz gave may mean nothing now. But if you correlate it with what happens within the next few episodes, it's a GIGANTIC spoiler. VERY.

I guess these difficulties in understanding each other way of speech are due to cultural differences. I meant that I asked one simple question and I received as a reply a ton of philosophical bullshit, similiar to how groups of old hags criticize the short skirt of an hot babe.

Even if I know what Hakuoro actually is it doesn't mean anything... it's not like I will be able to meet a monster in my entire life, so I won't be able to know how it looks like. It's like the hollow inside of Ichigo (Bleach): till a certain time knowing he had an hollow inside of himself could be considered as a spoiler, but it's not like you would really understand what it means because you won't be shinigami nor hollow in your life or after life. You can only imagine and as imagination is open by definition it means spoilers won't ever ruin anything. That's my opinion about the spoiler thing, anyway I know people have this spoiler phobia and so I asked into a spoiler thread with an answer come into spoiler tags.
Sure! No problem! Unlike those other "hags", im not such a fridge, yup im like that local lass that open her legs after the first round of pints...

Ok lets go watch something else, I'm bored.....
Dude.. You need help. Professional help. Fast. but it was funny. haha.
Anyhow I want to know why Hakuoro is that monster (if he is) and how he got that way. Also whether he'll be a "good" monster or turn bad and start flaming his pals.
Btw, ccardoso, I don't see how you tell from that picture you posted that the dragon has the same eyes in the "thing" inside Hakuoro.

Well you know a thing which is 20-30 m in height with teeth of about 1m can't be so dependable... at least I would feel quite in danger near a thing like that... I don't know you, perhaps you have strange tastes...

Take a look to the very start of episode 1. At the beginning there are the eyes of the tiger-like monster and then, during the OP, it's shown the giant thing's face, which has the same eyes... If you still won't be able to catch the connection I'll help you by putting some light into your eyes!
Even if I know what Hakuoro actually is it doesn't mean anything... it's not like I will be able to meet a monster in my entire life, so I won't be able to know how it looks like.
I don't care about your life. It's probably downright boring and pitiful at best.

Cut the semantic and philosophical bullshit. You whined at me giving you a philosophical shpiel and here you are doing the very same thing.
Instead, as I'm not as spinless as you, who hides your insults into a spoiler... how pitiful...

I could care less about your life too: the fact that you come here to boss around random people clearly indicates that you desperately need to do that. Why? Perhaps in your life you're costantly umiliated... poor boy/girl whatever you are.

I used your post to write my opinion about spoilers here, but it's not like I was directly answering to you. As I wrote above: I could not care less of you, what you think and so on. I'm not doing your same thing because I only stated my opinion without imposing on anyone, while you came here all of a sudden with your philosophical bullshit bossing around random people behaving all highty and mighty.
Instead, as I'm not as spinless as you, who hides your insults into a spoiler... how pitiful...
Ahahahaha, no I put it in spoilers to be courteous to the rest of the people here, so that they can just read the rest of the thread without having to see our argument.
Quote:

The spoiler you read was definetly a mega-spoiler. Fact.
" A post to a newsgroup that divulges information intended to be a surprise, such as a plot twist in a movie."
There's the definition of a spoiler. Your opinion consisted of basically, "No one will meet a monster in real life so it's not a spoiler."
Get your head out of your ass and get it checked by a shrink.

Stop lying. I made a suggestion and then I defended it. I imposed nothing on anyone. I don't have the power to do so even if I wanted to.
So before you start calling people high and mighty try cutting out your own bullshit.
EDIT: You know what, screw it. I suggested something and you got needlessly worked up over it. End of story.

Hmm yea I get you.. but I dont think there's solid evidence telling us that thing in Ep1 is Hakuoro, or something in him. It's implied, but well, implications can't really be trusted. At the least, we know that there's a definitely link, but as for how exactly they are linked.. Bah I'm ranting.
While watching Shinova and ccardoso flame each other is rather amusing (there's something wrong with me, I bet.), but this is still a Utawarerumono discussion thread, so please take it to PMs if you want to continue your discussion of each other.
Back to topic. After rewatching the first ep, there is no doubt that thing IS Hakuoro. The dialogue flows smoothly from it to his human form.
Sorry but a quick question (just skimed throught the Thread and didn't see an answer I was looking for) does any one know if the game is for sale in Canada/USA ?

Part 7
Benaui comes into the workroom and the Emperor that he needs to review these items, and sets down a huge stack of documents with a thump, then asks him to sign and stamp nother huge stack that is plopped down, and that he needs to go through the suggestions in the criterion box for that term, and sets down three more huge stacks of papers. He then says that all of these have to be done by the end of the day. Hakuoro says "All of this...?" and Benaui again says that yes, all of it needs finished by the end of the day, and Hakuoro grits his teeth.
Aruruu then comes in with her customary "Oto~san!" and Hakuoro asks her to wait just a minute, as he ponders over where he should start on all this work. Aruruu then starts yanking on him, and Eruruu comes in and tells Aruruu that Hakuoro is busy and that her hanging around is an intrusion. She makes a disappointed face, and Hakuoro says that she can wait in his room until he finishes, and then they can go after a beehive. She asks "Really?" happily, and he says, "Yes, really." Aruruu says that he always spoils her if she sulks just a little, or makes that face. Hakuoro says it is fine, he's been busy lately and knows she needs some companionship. Eruruu isn't too happy as Aruruu scampers off saying she will wait.
Hakuoro starts on his work, when Benaui comes in and says that next he has to look over these, and sets down another stack of documents. Despondantly, Hakuoro says "Next...?" and with a smile Benaui says, "Yes, next." Hakuoro is silent, trapped in the doomed paperwork.
Time passes, until it is very late into the night. Hakuoro says that he's finally finished, and Benaui thanks him for his effort. Hakuoro says he is very tired and to excuse him for the night, wanting only to take a bath and then go to sleep. Then he feels that there is something he is forgetting, and then suddenly remembers about Aruruu saying she'd wait for him.
He goes into their living quarters and looks into his room, seeing Aruruu laying in the corner, with her back to him. He wonders if she is asleep and calls her name, but gets no response other than the sound of her tail beating against the floor. He asks if she has waited, and still gets no response, only the sound of her tail.
He thinks that she must be really angry with him, and tells her that he's brought her favorite, a beehive. She finally gets up and scampers out of the room. He asks if they should eat it together, but she says nothing, and he asks her what is wrong. She looks at him angrily, and he thinks that he must really be in trouble if she won't even accept a beehive. He thinks that there is nothing that can be done, and perhaps he should wait until her feelings have settled.
He then feels a painful pulling on his sleeve. He looks down and sees Aruruu, and tells her that she's hurting him. She then starts hitting him and he says he knows that he was very bad. She continues her assault and he asks her to please control her temper. She shoves him and starts pounding on his stomach, and he says that it hurts. She doesn't stop and he thinks that she really is overly spoiled, and that it'll probably be like this for a while.
~~~~~
Bad, bad Hakuoro. You made Aruruu angry!
Now comes the new characters, not show in the series yet.
Spoiler for New characters introdution, not covered yet by the series:
It is late at night, and Hakuoro wakes, feeling that someone is there. He goes out into the hall, and says there is no mistake, someone is there in the dark. He wonders for a moment if it is Oboro, then concludes that it is not him. He wonders what they want.
A big man with small wings on the side of his head and an eyepatch steps out of the darkness. He says that he is Genjimaru, a soldier, and very formally asks Hakuoro to excuse him for rudely interrupting his rest, but he needed to see Emperor Hakuoro. Unable to see his face clearly, Hakuoro asks him what he wants. Genjimaru asks him accept his impoliteness, but a person of importance wishes to see him with their own eyes and wants a meeting immediately. He says this person of importance has a reason that they cannot go there, so he is asking with nothing but gracious intention, and he bows to Hakuoro.
Hakuoro thinks that he seems different from a thief or an assassin, and if he were, he could've done so in Hakuoro's sleep. Hakuoro asks why this behavior of shunning the public eye is being done, and he can have the front gate opened, for it would be better if they visited formally through the front entrance. Hakuoro then asks if there is a reason that this should be informal. Genjimaru is silent, and Hakuoro says he is staying silent instead of giving any affirmative. He then asks for his master's name, and Genjimaru continues to not speak. Hakuoro says that surely he would not come there and introduce himself and then just remain silent. Finally Genjimaru says that it is Amururineuruka Kuuya, the emperor of Kunnekamun.
Hakuoro is surprised it is the emperor of Kunnekamun, one of the three major nations in the west, and he wonders to himself why such a large country's emperor wants to see him. He says that Genjimaru is giving no indication, and he can't help feeling he is being deceived. He asks what the emperor of the Kunnekamun wants of him, the reason why he wishes to meet him. Genjimaru says from his mouth, he cannot speak that. Hakuoro is quiet for a moment, and though thinking that this is a foolish move, he does want to meet this emperor once, so he agrees to meet with him, and Genjimaru thanks him.
Hakuoro says they can't just leave though, the guards around there are very strict, and then realizes that Genjimaru still got in with no indication at all. Genjimaru tells him it is this way, then leads him outside, out of the palace and the capital, into the countryside and off the developed road onto a less-used mountain path. Stopping finally, Genjimaru says that Hakuoro has been guided there, and bows reverently. The emperor stands before them, a short person with long ears hanging down the side of their head and cloaked with a white hood over their entire head. Hakuoro notes how short the man is and the white hood that completely covers their face, and this is the first impression he has of the Kunnekamun Emperor. The Emperor says "So this is Hakuoro" and then thanks him for meeting him. He says that he is the Kunnekamun emperor, Amururineuruka Kuuya, and from now on he wishes recognition. Hakuoro thinks to himself that the emperor who is so short and hiding their face is rather pompous for a man, arrogant with a big attitude. He starts to introduce himself, and the Emperor cuts him off, saying that an introduction is not needed, because he knows roughly from investigating beforehand. Hakuoro thinks to himself that it is as he thought, the Emperor has a big attitude, but he does not feel unpleasant around him, though he also knows that a person's real nature can be overlooked by such a feeling.
The Kunnekamun Emperor says that Hakuoro is an interesting man. He has heard of how Hakuoro tought a technique of thinning soil to make it rich, and lead a rebellion of various lower class tribes to rise up, finally knocking down the court, and now he reigns as the new emperor. Additionally, he has also heard how the invasion of the Shikeripechimu had been held off. He says that talking about these things is easy, but not actually making them happen, and now he has felt the feat of saving those people. The Emperor says he would like to be instructed if there is no objection, and wants to know by what means such a thing was able to be done. Hakuoro thinks how they just met and yet he's asking such a candid question, especially while keeping himself concealed.
The Emperor says that surely, there is something special Hakuoro can tell them about, as it is just impossible to believe, and then says that surely he must be the same as them, a Kanneietai ("Devoted One"). Hakuoro asks, "Kanneietai?" He says that yes, they must be the same as their clan, the Shakukoporu, and the Onbaitaikayan ("Great Father") must be providing divine protection. He repeats "Onbaitaikayan..." and the Emperor says that surely he knows the name of the On-kami (Great God). Hakuoro says that if he recalls correctly, the name of the On-kami is Uitsurunemitea. The Emperor is quiet for a moment and then says that is the detested name of the Nugisomu-kami (God of Misfortune) and to not say it again. Hakuoro says, "Uitsurunemitea is the Nugisomu-kami?" and the Emperor asks if he really doesn't know. Hakuoro says that he heard a very different story, and is confused, and asks then what the Onbaitaikayan is. The Emperor says that is a strange thing to say, the Onbaitaikayan is the Onbaitaikayan, what other is there? Hakuoro says that isn't an answer, and the Emperor says if he insists he will explain.
The Onbaitaikayan is the true On-kami that created them, and Uitsuarunemitea rebels against the Creator, to take away from the people. And so, all of their people live in a paradise under the Onbaitaikayan; If He did not exist, they would lose their paradise. Those that left the Onbaitaikayan, to be with the other people that emancipated by the call of Uitsuarunemitea, lost their paradise to live with sickness, starvation, suffering, and murder. Hakuoro is silent, and the Emperor tells him that now he knows the truth. He says Hakuoro really is a strange man, that he has knowledge not written in any book, yet doesn't know something that even children know. He says that when their shrine was built, the Yomoru (sage of the country) must have given a falsified sermon.
The Kunnekamun Emperor says that for Hakuoro to be ignorant of the Onbaitaikayan, he would know no history of them, the Shakukoporu clan. He agrees and Emperor Kuuya says he will tell him. Before the Onbaitaikayan, there was only mankind in the world. A strong person will seek hegemony, while the people without that power are always the victims, which was the case for their race, Shakukoporu. Genjimaru's race, the Ebaenkuruga, were gifted in the ability of fighting. The Onkamiyaryuu race had sorcery. The Shakukoporu had only meager bodies and no redeeming features, so naturally, their position was weak. But though detestable, they became the people called on by the Onbaitaikayan, to receive His favor. It bought the jealousy of the other races, over the span of many years they continued to be oppressed. They were treated like slaves (kenamu), and then he says no, they were treated as less than slaves. Then some of their people decided to follow Uitsuarunemitea and abandoned them. It seemed no one would come to their aid, and their world was cursed at that time.
Hakuoro interrupts and asks why the Emperor is telling him such a story, that it is like talking about a tribe's private parts, so to speak. The Emperor laughs and says it is fine, it's what every one of them knows, so that they will never forget. He then says that from here is where the story really gets interesting. Despite everything, they were not entirely deserted, because for those of them that stayed true, they had the love of the Onbaitaikayan. They were given His gift, a power that nothing could replace. With that power they rose up, and the people who had oppressed them up to then were trampled and their slaved people released. And then, the nation of the Shakukoporu, "Kannekamun", was created.
Hakuoro is silent, and the Emperor apologizes for getting so engrossed into the story. Hakuoro asks what exactly this power is, and he says that that is something he cannot say. Hakuoro asks if this secret really cannot be spoken, and the Emperor says that it is like a sacred thing to them, and speaking about it is somehow indecent. He then says that it was thought that Hakuoro is the same as them, a Kanneietai (a "Devoted One"), and therefore he wanted to meet with him this once. He says that it is regrettable, and Hakuoro asks if he is disappointed, and the Emperor says not at all. He says that Hakuoro is a mysterious man, and he'd like to meet here many times and talk some more.
Genjimaru interrupts and tells the Kannekamun Emperor that is it time for them to go. He says he didn't realize it was that time already, and he's enjoyed this. He tells Hakuoro that he must go, though it is regrettable. Hakuoro thinks to himself that after all of this, he still doesn't know why the Emperor came. The Emperor says the next time, Genjimaru will come to meet him. Hakuoro says "Next time?" and the Emperor says it is a promise, and Hakuoro says that he will promise nothing, but ignoring it, the Emperor says goodbye, and he will look forward to next time.

Such great and interesting part with lots of explanations of the Utawarerumono world, completely left aside. Let’s hope they will cover this part in some future episode.
Spoiler for Game Summary Content covering Episode 10 – Part 2:
[Visit workroom]
Eruruu enters and tells Hakuoro that the Yomoru (a priest) from Onkamiyamukai wishes an audience with him. Aruruu asks if there will be food, and Benaui says that there is no food, that since their country built a shrine, the Yomoru is probably coming for unification. Aruruu looks disappointed at hearing this. Oboro says that as they make their public appearance, they have been surveilling them. He says he doesn't know if it is the arbitrator, but they are hurriedly coming and seem enthusiastic to work. Eruruu sweatdrops and says "Um..." but before she can say anything else Hakuoro says to please bring the Yomoru right in, and he will see them as soon as he finishes up his work. She says, "No... that..." and then Hakuoro hears "Ojisama~!" and is tackled.
Kamyu says that she has returned, and a surprised Hakuoro asks why she is there. Urutorii then comes in and says it has been a long time. He starts to ask why the two of them are there, and Urutorii says that as Yomoru, she has come there via his inventation. Kamyu pipes in that she has come as an assistant. Hakuoro is confused, asking how she can be the Yomoru (a priest), when she is a Kamunagi (a priestess). Munto then appears and asks the princess to please think of future generations, she is a Kamunagi, and a female Yomoru is unheard of. Urutorii replies that something is always unheard of at first. Munto says that she has a more important duty, and she says there is no duty that is not important. She says that Yomoru's duty is to keep balance in the world, and therefore has the important role of protecting the people from disaster, and she is proud to take this role. Oboro asks her if that's all, and she says yes, that is the whole story. He sweatdrops, realizing it was just them that he had taken so many precautions about.
Urutorii tells Munto she will see him off, and thanks him for his troubles. He protests, and asks how he is to just leave the princesses there and return by himself. She says that since she is princess, on second thought he can remain there too, as she relies on him. He stutters "No... um... Princess..." seeing that his words had been twisted into him having to stay, rather than them leaving with him.
Kamyu calls out "Aru-chan" and laughs happily, and Aruruu smiles in return. She asks if Yuzucchi is doing well, and Aruruu nods. Oboro says that Yuzuha would like to see her, and she says, "Ah, Boboro-niisama" and he yells back "I'm Oboro!" She brushes it off and tells Aruruu that they should hurry and go see Yuzuha. As they leave, Oboro yells after her to wait, she hasn't properly corrected herself for getting his name wrong.
Urutorii asks Eruruu if she has taken care, and Eruruu looks surprised and says yes, but she should be the one to have asked, and tells Urutorii she gives her best regards while giving a nervous sweatdrop. Hakuoro asks what is the matter, that Eruruu has a complicated look on her face. Eruruu says she doesn't understand, looking a bit annoyed, and he looks confused.
He takes Urutorii to their rooms, and tells her they prepared it quickly to be like it was before she left, and to freely use it. He tells her that if she finds anything insufficent, then to let them know and it will be prepared. She says she wishes to express her gratitude for everything, and he asks if she needs anything else. She asks if he would show her the town.
They head into the capital, where merchants are busily selling their wares. Munto says that the town is flourishing. Hakuoro asks if he really thinks so, how it isn't any different than in Onkamiyamukai or other countries. Urutorii says now, that here has good spirits and vigor that other countries don't have. She says now that they are released from suppression, everyone seems relieved and can now engage in construction and commerce again, and that is very wonderful. She says that children are playing in the streets with such innocence, and that's a very happy thing.
A child comes out and says, "Wow, wings!" Another child remarks it is true. Munto asks who they think this honorable person is, and Urutorii shushes him despite him trying to protest. A child says that her wings are very pretty, and she says she can fly, and they stare in amazement, saying they want to fly too. Munto says that if it is the Princess's wish, to take one of his feathers. The child looks astounded and she giggles, and but apologizes to Munto for laughing at him. She tells the child that this is Munto, the Yankuru (High Priest), who is in a higher position than herself. The child says that is amazing, and asks if he can have a feather. Munto gives in and says if he would like one to take one, and the child says that then he can brag to everyone.
Hakuoro notes silently that a crowd as gathered around them without them even noticing. They are all murmuring, and he feels the crowd has an atmosphere of being doubtful. A middle-aged man asked if he can receive on, and Munto says since he is a foolish priest, then to go ahead. He plucks so feathers and Munto winces. Then an old woman says she wants one too, and soon a mob of villagers are on his plucking feathers as he yells for them to stop. Urutorii ascertains that it will be alright, and Hakuoro thinks how it really isn't any different than having bird feathers.

[Visit workroom]
Eruruu enters the workroom and tells them many thanks for their work, and asks them to please come over and have some tea. Hakuoro thanks her and comes over, and she asks Benaui to join them, and he accepts her kind offer.
They sip the tea, and Hakuoro thinks to himself how the tea Eruruu brews is very relaxing. She blushes and says she's made some tea cakes. She just made them, and asks them to please eat them if they'd like. Hakuoro thinks how they look delicious. Benaui says it is Chimaku, and that he's missed it, in his childhood his mother used to make it often. Hakuoro says that he will have one, and Eruruu blushes and gives him one. Kurou then enters and says to Hakuoro it'll be time soon, and Hakuoro says he didn't realize it was that time already. He apologizes to Eruruu and says he will have it later, and they leave.
After they are gone she turns her head in sad disappointment, saying that they had turned out so delicious. Aruruu then scampers in looking for Otou-san. Eruruu ignores her, saying that she made them with her utmost effort. Aruruu asks Eruruu where Otou-san is, and she continues to not notice her, wrapped up in her disappointment. Aruruu then spots the chimaku. Eruruu says how they fried just right, with a crisp outside, and delicious torori inside. Aruruu starts eating the chimaku, as Eruruu decides that they can be eaten later. She blushes and says that Hakuoro even may think they are delicious. Aruruu finishes them off and with a "thanks for the meal" scampers off.
Eruruu turns around to get the chimaku to save for later, and then looks confused. She says that she remembers setting them right there, but now they are gone, and she doesn't know why. Disappointment shows over her face.
[Visit outside]
Hakuoro goes outside, and hears a voice giggling, and he wonders who is there. The voice says that she is happy there, everyone is very interesting and don't treat her with any special treatment, and because of that, she's been able to make friends. Hakuoro notices the voice is Kamyu's, and wonders who she is talking to.
She says that yes, Aru-chan does talk, even though she's a child that doesn't talk much when they're together, but it is still nice. Then she says that though that is said warmly, being too close is a painful feeling. And then there is Oji-sama, that even though he is referred to as Aru-chan's father, the reality is different. Then she says that he is gentle, and a very big person, and though his large stature isn't significant, it's just the feeling of him, and she understands Aru-chan saying Otou-san.
Hakuoro wonders who she is talking to, that in the shadow of the pillar, he can't see well. Kamyu continues talking, saying that she likes everyone very much, Onee-sama, Aru-chan, Oji-sama, Eru-oneesama, Yuzucchi... she likes everyone. Then she says but how does she know they are really friends, they could come to hate her.
Hakuoro wonders what all this means, then hears a rustling sound, and wonders what the sound is, and wonders if someone was there. Then Kamyu comes into view, and looks surprised at him being there, and asks him what he was doing in such a place. He says he heard voices, so he thought someone was there. She laughs saying there weren't voices, she's the only one there. He notices it is true, there is no one else there but Kamyu. He asks if she wasn't talking to someone, that because it was dark over there he couldn't see well. She says she was just speaking to herself. He tells her that her sister is looking for her, and she trots off quickly, telling him she'll see him later. He wonders why she was acting so panicked, and wonders what what going on just a minute ago.
[Visit Yuzuha's room]
Hakuoro comes into Yuzuha's room, finding Kamyu and Aruruu there. Kamyu says that they've been reading books, and Yuzuha says that she's happy because Kamyu has been reading them a story. Hakuoro asks what the story is, and Kamyu says that if she tells him now, then the enjoyment will be lost. He says if she says so, then it must be so. Kamyu tells him to listen with them, and that she'll continue reading.
She starts reading. A long, long time ago, there was a young God that was given no name. One day he is invited to a festival by the humans. When he goes there, his heart was stolen by one of the village girls. The girl also feels for the young God, and the two of them one day start a love relationship. But there was someone who had not happy with this union, the Nuguisomu-kami, the ancient God of Misfortune of the land. Before, the Nuguisomu-kami had been aiming at making the girl his own. But the young God with no name was excelled at fighting, and in battle, left a deep wound on the other. So then the Nuguisomu-kami devises a plan. He spreads a plague, and then the girl was dragged into Diinebokushiri (Hell), where the young God's eyes could not reach. He did not know this is what happened, and he mourns for the girl's sudden death. Then a small bird that the girl had cherished tells the truth to the young God. As the young God learns of this, to regain the girl, the Nuguisomu-kami was challenged to a fight. The God's battle -- ground tore, Heaven rampaged, and the fight went on for seven days and seven nights.
Kamyu then starts making sound effects of thundering and battle. She moves to the left and says, "I am not defeated! I will meet that girl again!" She then moves over to the right and declares, "How impudent. Take this!" She makes more battle sounds, then moves to the left and says "Take this!" with a long battle cry, then moves over to the right and lets out a scream of pain. More battle sounds ensue, and Hakuoro thinks about how amusing this is. Yuzuha and Aruruu become entranced with the story, listening.
A time later, Kamyu says that then, the young God gained the power of love of the girl, and the ancient God was defeated. The two embraced each other closely, and their mutual existance is confirmed in each other. Then... She blushes and stutters "Ku... Ku... Kuchi... Kuchi-ku..." (trying to say "kuchizuke" for kiss, but "kuchiku" means "destruction.") Hakuoro wonders at the word "destruction" and says wait a minute, why is there destruction, somehow they should be kissing. Kamyu tells him honestly, and bonks him, and he wonders why he is being beaten. Blushing and stuttering, Kamyu says that then a kiss was exchanged, and they were together forever.
Yuzuha says, "Um?" and Kamyu asks her what it is. Yuzuha asks what a kiss is. Kamyu is surprised she doesn't know, and Hakuoro thinks that this girl who has led such a sheltered life doesn't know what a kiss is, and wonders if Oboro avoided that intentionally. Kamyu stutters not really knowing how to explain, so Hakuoro says that it is when your lips overlap with another person's lips for a moment, and it is an expression of one's love. Kamyu says that is right, and Yuzuha is quiet for a moment, and then asks if that can be done. Kamyu asks what she means, if it is because she wants to know the meaning by doing it. Hakuoro says that to kiss a person, you have to feel happiness towards them, and if she hasn't. Kamyu and Aruruu are quiet, and Kamyu sweatdrops and says she can't quite understand either because she also hasn't.
Yuzuha repeats, "A loved person..." and then kisses Kamyu, who becomes flustered. She then kisses Aruruu, who gives her a kiss back. Oboro enters right at this time, wondering what is going on. Kamyu tells Yuzuha that normally a man and a woman kiss, and Oboro cries out, "You, what are you telling Yuzuha?!" Kamyu answers that they are explaining the expression of one's love... somewhat. Yuzuha says "Hakuoro-sama" and then she turns towards him and touches his lips, and then kisses him, and for a moment he loses all thought... until over his shoulder he hears a scream so loud from Oboro that he finds it impressive. Yuzuha then says "Onii-sama" and turns to him, and then she kisses him. Everyone else watches in silence, and Yuzuha proclaims that she feels happy. In shock, Oboro falls over, and Kamyu explains to Yuzuha that it isn't good for a brother and sister to do either. Oboro lets out a cry, and Hakuoro thinks to himself that the shock must've been too large... for various reasons.
[Visit outside]
Hakuoro walks outside, and calls out to Mukkuru that it is time for her meal. She doesn't come, and he calls out what is wrong, he has food. Again she doesn't come, and he is perplexed, because usually at this time, before he even finishes saying "meal", she is already running in with her favorite food dish in her mouth.
He looks and sees in the distance her laying in the shade of a tree. He calls out, asking Mukkuru is she doesn't want the food. Mukkuru makes a "Buo~" and looks up at him hearing his voice, but still doesn't move. He wonders if there is some reason that she can't get up, so he goes over to check it out.
He finds Eruruu, Aruruu, Yuzuha, and Kamyu all sleeping peacefully on Mukkuru, using her as a substitude bed and pillow for an afternoon nap. Eruruu holds Yuzuha close to her as she sleeps, and Yuzuha's sleeping face looks like a peaceful child being embraced by a mother. Kamyu is leaning up against Mukkuru, making strange breathing sounds and talking in her sleep. Aruruu lays on top, her tail hanging over Mukkuru's face, beating it as it wags in her sleep.
Mukkuru groans, looking at him with an embarrassed face for having to resort to this. Hakuoro tells her to be gentle, or everyone will wake up. Mukkuru whines as her belly lets out a terrible grumble. Hakuoro laughs and asks her to endure it a little more, and then she'll get to eat to her heart's content. Mukkuru looks pleased to hear this, and Hakuoro tells her to be quiet, or the girls will wake up, and he's asking this favor. He then pets Mukkuru's head, and she shuts her eyes.
Finally, she starts looking a bit unhappy, and in agitation beats her tail against the ground, raising up the dirt, and snorts roughly. The girls are jostled awake by the movement, and then in unison yell at Mukkuru. Hakuoro wonders if he said too much.
~~~~~
So much peaceful and funny momments... some covered by the anime, other don’t. And for those ecchi who were expecting, some erotism, incest and yuri scenes, too.
On a side note, Kamyu looks strange and mysterious. What’s happening with her...
Spoiler for Game content covering episode 10 – part 3:
Lightning flashes, and heavy rain pounds against the roof of the workroom, where everyone has taken shelter. Whenever the building creaks because of the wind, Aruruu looks around the vicinity nervously, looking like she'll cry any moment. Eruruu holds out her arms and tells Aruruu to come, and Aruruu jumps into them, burying herself in her sister's lap. Eruruu mutters it is terrible wind as she strokes Aruruu's head. She says it is starting to get scary, and Hakuoro tells her not to worry, they are in the strongest structure and it can't be blown down so easily.
Munto asks Princess Kamyu if she follows the problem, and Kamyu complains to him about why he is making her study at such a time. He says because any other time she runs off, and she makes a sour face. Yuzuha sits silently, and Hakuoro asks her if she is cold. She says that she is fine and smiles quietly, but Hakuoro can tell even if she says so that she isn't, and puts a coat around her shoulders, and she thanks him.
Hakuoro asks what is wrong with Uruto (his nickname for Urutorii), and Kamyu tells him that she is praying for the storm to quiet. Hakuoro notes how that will be helpful, that it is amazing that it is said an ability of the Onkamiyaryuu race is weather manipulation. Hakuoro asks if Kamyu is also good at such a thing, and she sweatdrops, then stutters that of course she is. Munto starts to say, "Princess, that's the sort of thing U--" and then a slashing sound is heard and he falls over. Kamyu sweatdrops and says it isn't good for Munto to sleep in such a place, and then drags away. Hakuoro notes to himself how he saw the back of the High Priest's neck be struck by the back of Kamyu's hand.
There is another flash of lightning, and Hakuoro worries about how much damage will be done to the crops, and hopes there won't be serious damage from the looks of things.
The next day, Benaui enters, and says that he has a list of last night's storm damages, and for Hakuoro to please look it over, adding that they hope for immediate restoration. He looks at it and sees there was damage to two waterways and five fields.
Eruruu tells Benaui thanks for going out into the storm, and Hakuoro says he is sorry. Benaui says he is warming up, and Eruruu brings him honey sake and says his body must be very cold from being in the rain, and he thanks her for her consideration and sips the warm drink. Benaui says that he is still worried about one thing, and Hakuoro asks him what it is that worries him. Benaui says that a ship was stranded around the vicinity of the coast of Shirotouku, and that it appears the storm's current caused it to run aground into the reef. He says if he isn't mistaken, from the report of the outward appearance of the ship, it is from Na-Tounku. Eruruu says Na-Tounku is a country to the south, and she's heard very creepy stories about that place, that according to rumor, people are abducted and are brought and sold there as slaves. Benaui says that is no rumor; the ship is a slave ship carrying people. He says that Kurou is currently out in the rescue operation of the crew, and he wonders what sort of intervention there will be from Na-Tounku.
Kurou enters and says the inspection of the majority of people on the ship has been finished. He gives Benaui a report, and Benaui thanks him for his efforts. Benaui looks it over and says it is as he thought, a slave ship from Na-Tounku. He then asks why so few people from the ship were saved, looking at the figure. Kurou says that most of those people were connected to chains, imprisoned in the bottom of the ship, and they weren't in time, the bottom had already flooded. He apologizes for being unable to uphold their reputation, and Hakuoro tells him it couldn't be helped, and everyone has done well. He tells Kurou to have them get some warm food and sake, and make sure they get plenty of rest. Getting rest is an order, and they can continue the recovery operation when they wake up, and Kurou gives an affirmative to the orders.
Benaui asks how the survivors are doing. Kurou says they are being cared for, resting there in a medical clinic. Benaui asks to have them come there when they are able, he would like to talk to them about various things. Then an unexpected voice says that is good, they would like to speak with them as well. Benaui looks over in alarm, and a clinking sound is heard. The sudden voice is from a woman who is relaxing in the room, sipping the tea on the hearth at her own convenience. Hakuoro wonders when this happened; without any indication, she entered the room without being noticed.
Kurou asks what happened to the defense guards, and she says they are taking a short afternoon nap. Benaui asks what, and she says that since they wouldn't let her pass, they are now sleeping for a little while. Kurou unsheathes his sword, and she looks surprised, saying she has just arrived and already they are showing dangerous intention. Kurou asks what she is doing there, and if she shows even a little odd behavior he will kill her without mercy.
Hakuoro looks at her, thinking this must be a survivor of the ship. Then he notices the metal collar around her neck, with a broken chain hanging from it. She asks if he is the emperor of this country, and then says she is Karura, and she is very grateful for his help. Hakuoro says she should give her gratitude to everyone, and tells her it was unfortunate about what happened to the others. She says "Is that so?" and turns her head, and then says she is the only one that survived. Benaui says that he wishes to speak with all the people that were rescued, and she says those people have died. Kurou looks stunned, and asks how that can be, when they helped at that time, they were very lively.
She laughs and then looks like she is about to say something, when from behind, like a mirage, there is a swing. At the same time the girl bends her body, and for a moment a glint of metal is seen on her neck. Oboro enters hidden in his cloak and cowl, and Hakuoro calls his name questioningly. She says that was close, but then there is another swing as Oboro suddenly attacks, and an after-image of him is seen as the point of a sword swoops down on Karura. Surprisingly, she avoids the attacks, keeping a calm appearance. Oboro screams "Die!" and rushes in, and she jumps back, then says "Take this!" as she throws the pot of hot water boiling over the hearth at him. Reflexively it is slashed and broken, and the boiling water rains down from overhead, but removes his cloak and tosses it aside at the same time, repelling the boiling water, the whole incident taking place in a matter of seconds.
Karura says, "Very skillful, very skillful" and claps, obviously making fun of him. Oboro, enraged, returns with his fearless smile. Then, a drop comes from Karura's neck, and she notices the cut. She smears some of the blood on her fingertip and then licks it, and then tells Oboro what a mighty little boy he is. Then her fingertip stiffens, and a pointed fingernail is extended. She asks if he is ready to die for this childish prank. She smiles in a calm manner, but her surroundings crackle, and a bad feeling is exuded.
The crackling sound gets louder, and Hakuoro smells a strange burning smell. Kurou feels the temperature raising, and asks if that woman is of the Himu-kami (god of fire). Hakuoro recalls to himself that those under the Himu-kami having amazing fighting ability, and he heard in an anecdote somewhere that they will even cover their body and the body of their opponent in flames, in a mutual destruction. He thinks that he is pretty certain Oboro is also under the Himu-kami. He then concludes what the crackling feeling in the air must be, and thinks of what foolish people they are, the whole place will be burned down if their behavior continues.
Hakuoro yells out for them to stop, but Oboro lets out a battle cry and he and Karura Step at the same time, both thrusting at each other, stopping the bow in a clash of metal. Hakuoro again tells them to end this, and unconsciously steps into the middle of their heated (literally) battle, knowing how dangerous and shortening to his life it is. He again asks for the sword and to talk first, but Oboro ignores it and screams "DIE!" and continues to attack, and then the screen goes black, the sound of the battle still going on.
Hakuoro lets out a gasp and falls, as the screen comes back into view. Kurou asks him if he is alright, and he says he was shielded. Benaui tells Hakuoro he is there, Oboro still screaming in the background, and Hakuoro asks him to end it but restraint shouldn't be needed. Benaui bows in assent and then takes a bucket and throws the cold water on the two before they are even aware. Oboro asks what he is doing and Hakuoro asks him if his head has finally cooled off. He sweatdrops, finally noticing Hakuoro. He then asks him why he ended their fight, and if he even knew what this woman has done. He says that she killed all of the survivors, and then snuck into there, and that alone was reason enough to kill her.
Hakuoro looks at her and asks why she massacred all those people. She says that naturally it was to repay them. Nobody should be kept on a chain as those people did, and she was the only one able to escape. Therefore, she made every one of them taste the same suffering. Saying so, she gestures by pinching her fingertips together, and Hakuoro realizes she must have crushed their windpipes.
She asks what he will do to her, hand her over to the Na-Tounku, or perhaps kill her now and toss her away. Hakuoro says that here, this country's people are looked after. She says she is not ingrateful to be benefactor who extended their hand to those people. Hakuoro says he sees. As far as the other people, there is no one to question, and if she doesn't cause trouble, then she will not be restrained or interfered. He says the story is that the ship sinks, and all the passengers die. No one knows even if there is a survivor, because no one saw, and asks if there are any objections. Benaui says it is his command, and Kurou also complies, and after a long moment Oboro finally agrees because Anija said so.
Hakuoro tells her she is a free woman, and she can go any place that she likes. She says he is a most generous Emperor, that surely someone of such humble birth is a Kenamu in social standing, and he says there is no difference, an Emperor or a Kenamu are both people. She says that is a very fine way with words, sweet as honey. Oboro glares at her, and she asks why he has such an angry face. He says that next time, if she insults Anija one more time, without fail, she will die. She laughs and says she is giving praise, that she neither hates honey nor gentlemen as sweet as honey.
She says that she will accept her freedom, but she's really troubled them. Hakuoro looks at her questioningly and she says that she has her freedom, but with no money for traveling expenses, she'll have no bed and will starve. Hakuoro gives her some money and tells her it is a small loan for traveling expenses. She says she cannot receive such charity, because she has done nothing for this reward, and Hakuoro wonders what her intention is then. She says that he has saved her life and she is in debt, and must return the gratitude, as she doesn't want to become ingrateful. She says that she was once a Nakuan (swordsman), and could be useful in battle. Hakuoro recalls to himself that a Nakuan is a person that takes pleasure in battle, and is suited to killing. He looks her over, noting that she is a well-rounded woman with no extra meat on her body, and beautiful skin, there isn't even on scar as far as he can see, despite how killing is normal for a Nakuan. Without receiving a wound, she survived to be there. She asks what he will do, that she wants to help and does not want to just say goodbye with such ungrateful behavior, and right now she is offering her services for free.
Benaui says that he refuses. She asks why, and he says in this matter if it is known there is a survivor, from then on the Na-Tounku will cause trouble, and the seed of riot should not be sown. She replies that one or two Nakuan would not be discovered. He goes on to say that though she is not inexperienced, since she was able to so simply handle Oboro, he cannot help that feeling. Oboro quickly angrily adds in that she is very inexperienced.
Benaui says that whether it is true or false, he has heard some talk being whispered, that several years ago, a young girl reigned as a fighting champion. However, she was feared for being too strong, and a death assembly sent her to the place of her funeral. However, still the girl survived, and even now wanders from place to place. Though no one knows the girl's name, it is rumored that there is a survivor of the exterminated Giriyagina race. He says this woman is the same as the Giriyagina tribe. She says this is all just a coincidence, but he says by his request he'd rather decline the remains of this fire.
Karura asks Hakuoro what he thinks, that it is his decision, not that of a petty official. He thinks to himself that what Benaui says is justifiable, however there is the matter of Shikeripechimu, and right now, even a little strength, even one person is important to the war potentials. Furthermore, if it is a person that can argue with Oboro to that extent, certainly they are desirable. He decides that it might be good, and asks her by all means to stay. At this time, the matter regarding Karura's origin is to be kept confidential. Benaui says as he wishes, and Oboro after a moment says he understands.
Hakuoro says good, and then before getting to anything else, Eruruu enters and looks at the place in shock. She says she had just cleaned in there this morning, and notes the wet floor, the scorching, the damage to an expensive book volume, and continues to go through finding things that were broken. She then lets out a sigh of relief at finding something that was safe, as it belong to her grandma, and then as she lifts it, it crumbles. Furious, she asks who did this. The air is tense, and everyone stiffens, and again she demands to know who did such a thing. Everyone turns and stares at Oboro. He sweatdrops and says, "Eh? Me?" and she rushes at him, but is distracted for a moment when she sees Karura, asking who that woman is. Oboro tries to say she is with Benaui, but then notices both have disappeared. He asks Kurou to please say there is a misunderstanding, but he just says that she is coming and he doesn't want to be involved in this.
Hakuoro steps outside onto the porch, and can hear Oboro screaming his name asking where he has gone, as Eruruu chases him. He tells her she'll understand if she just listens, but it does no good. A loud scream from Oboro is heard, and Hakuoro thinks to himself that Eruruu is truly a strong country girl.
He turns around and sees Karura, and she laughs and tells him, "By no means will you regret this."
~~~~~
[Visit porch]
Hakuoro hears Kamyu's voice on the porch asking, "Have you not seen it, Aru-chan?" and after receiving a negative answer, "I wonder why?" He walks out onto the porch and asks what the two are doing. Kamyu says that it's good he showed up, because now they can ask him. Kamyu asks Hakuoro what his true face is, that she doesn't know what kind of face he has. He questions, "My face?" He asks what she means, as she can see that it's like this. She says not that, but what it looks like under the mask. Hakuoro says even he has not seen it. Kamyu gives him an innocent pleading look, asking him to let them see, that they really want to see, and Aruruu nods. He says that even though they say that, it can't be taken off. Kamyu asks really, and tells Aruruu to hold him.
Kamyu yanks at the mask but can't get it to come off, and then Aruruu tries as well, also unsuccessful. Together, they twist and pull with all their might, and Hakuoro screams in pain. Kamyu says it is useless, it really can't be taken off, and Hakuoro is grateful that the matter is over. Aruruu then says to wait, and scampers off. She returns and then gives something to Kamyu, and Kamyu says of course, Aru-chan is so smart. Aruruu blushes, pleased with herself. In their hands, the two grip a chisel and a saw, with an innocent smile on their faces. They ask him to come there, and he realizes they aren't joking. He says he has some business to tend to, and quickly runs off, and they call after him to wait.
He reaches the workroom for sanctuary, but is met by Kamyu who is waiting for him there. He quickly runs off to his room, where Aruruu is standing, telling her Otou-san to wait. On his heels he runs outside, Kamyu waiting there calling to him. Finally he runs for safety into the storage house, hoping that they would never look for him there. Aruruu and Kamyu then enter. The screen turns black as Hakuoro lets out a terrifying scream of pain.
When the screen comes back, he is again on the porch. Aruruu says he has woken up, and Kamyu says he shouldn't sleep in such a place or he'll catch cold. He asks "Sleep?" and she says he wouldn't wake no matter how hard they tried. Relieved, he comes to the conclusion that it must've been a terrible dream. Then Kamyu asks if she can ask him something, and he notices her hands behind her back, and asks what she is holding.
The screen goes black once again.
~~~~~~~
Poor Hakuoro. That must be hurted.
Anyway, that was a bit different than the anime, Karura looks to be more powerful and dangerous than we thought. And Eruruu for sure is dangerous when mad!
We got a lot of funny momments, and some torture for Hakuoro!

[Visit Yuzuha's room]
Hakuoro enters Yuzuha's room, finding her sitting in the corner of the room, and with a dagger in her hand, cutting on a lump of wood. She is so concentrated she doesn't notice he is there, even though she usually knows before he even enters. He wonders what she is carving, watching as he touches it with her finger, traces it down, and then whittles at the wood. He notes she is very skillful for someone who can't even see. He notices it is about the size of a head, and then wonders if she is carving someone's face.
Finally she says his name, apologizing for not noticing he was there. He tells her not to worry about it, and says she seems to be carving very enthusiastically, and that it looks like a person's face. She tells him yes, that she is carving his face. He is surprised, and tells her that to do a carving even though blind, she is very skilled. She asks him if she may touch his face again, to know it better. He tells her she may, and nodding, she timidly touches his face. He thinks that her soft strokes feel nice even though it tickles. She continues, and the more she runs her fingers over his face, he changes his mind, thinking that it is really tickling now, and he squirms as he endures the terrible tickling feeling.
[Visit Urutorii's room]
Hakuoro enters Urutorii's room, finding her and Karura relaxing and drinking sake. He asks if he is interrupting them, and they say not at all, and for him to sit with them.
It is very quiet, and time peacefully goes by. Karura and Urutorii neither speaking, but look very relaxed. More sake is poured and Karuru says it is delicious, and Urutorii agrees, but those are the only words exchanged as more time passes in silence. Hakuoro feels that it is a very mysterious atmosphere, like it is not necessary to talk, how somehow even though no words are exchanged it seems that there is conversing, an atmosphere where each other understands the other. He says seeing the two of them like that, he somehow feels good. However, finally after gazing at the two people silently, temptation wins the better of him, and he opens his mouth to speak.
He asks if they are aquainted now, but realizes they atmosphere seems to feel as if they are somehow well aquainted, even though one is a princess and the other is a Nakuan, a very strange combination. Urutorii says "Yes, Karura and I--" but is then cut off by Karura saying "Uruto" and winking, putting her index finger to her lips in a gesture to not say anything, while her eyes have a mischevious look to them. Hakuoro says he sees, that there are many mysterious to a fine woman. Karura laughs and says it is that way, and he feels she is teasing him a bit.
Karura says he should have a cup of sake at a time like this, and he says he will have some. For now, he will just drink with them, and after a while of drinking, he determines the sake has become the best he's had.
[Visit Karura's room]
Hakuoro enters a room to find Karura, who tells him to come in. He says he wants to talk to her, and she asks about what. He asks why she is here in this room, and she says because it has a nice view and good mood. He says he meant if this is to be her room, and she says yes, she has decided to reside there, as she's taken a liking to the place. He asks if there isn't some significance to her deciding to stay there, and she says that it is a wonderful place, and furthermore, she gets three meals a day and all she can drink. He says she can't just drink as much as she likes at her convenience, she reeks awfully of liquor, and he notices a wine barrel. He says he know sees her true colors, she has been the recent sake thief. She says it's bad to give her the reputation of a thief, she only has a little to drink in the evening. Even as she says this, Hakuoro notes to himself how such a mountain of liquor has piled up in such a short time.
~~~~~
Spoiler for The new characters not covered by the episode again:
Once again out in the countryside, Hakuoro meets with the masked Emperor of Kunnekamun. He thanks him for coming again, and Hakuoro says it is only a tentative promise, and then greets the other as the Kunnekamun Emperor, and then he tells him "It's Amururineuruka Kuuya." He says that since this isn't a public place, there is no need to go through the performance of speaking as emperors, calling each other "Emperor." Hakuoro says if he says so, and then tries saying Amururineuruka but isn't able to make it past "Amu", so he is told that Kuuya is fine. Kuuya says on the other hand, it is assumed that he can call Hakuoro by his name, and then says "Very well, Hakuoro" before Hakuoro can even say anything one way or another. Kuuya then says that there is no need to stand in such a place and to sit down. Hakuoro notes that he still has that attitude.
Kuuya says that the moon is beautiful tonight. He likes to look at the moon, that the sun shines outspokenly, but the moon quietly moves the darkness, and they are gently wrapped in it. He says that Onbaitaikayan loved the moon especially as well. Hakuoro says that the moon tonight certainly is beautiful, and says it would be nice to have some sake watching such a moon. Kuuya turns his masked face to Hakuoro, and asks if he likes drinking sake. He says he does, that it is normal for it to be drunk by adults. Kuuya says that he has not drunk it himself, and asks what it tastes like, if it is sweet, bitter, or very delicious, if it is in surplus in the case of celebrations.
Genjimaru interrupts saying "Emperor", and Kuuya asks why he intrudes on everything, he isn't a child anymore. He then says that older people really like to preach too much. Hakuoro thinks that Kuuya certainly has a considerably different impression, not depending on outward appearances and acting very childish for a man.
Kuuya then turns back to Hakuoro and asks "Well?" and he asks what, and he tells him not to pretend he doesn't know, and to tell him what sake tastes like. Hakuoro says that even to try to say the taste, giving essence to the words, it would not ease anything, and then possibly it would just become like an eternal enigma imposed on a person. He says as long as there is sake, then a personcan continue to be able to drink it. Kuuya says he sees, that surely one can only imagine that it must taste dreamlike. Kuuya says that sometime, so that he can drink sake, Hakuoro will have to bring it one day. Then he says "At that time..." and doesn't finish the sentence, instead quickly saying that it is nothing. Hakuoro looks confused, and he laughs, and says that Hakuoro really is mysterious.
Genjimaru tells the Emperor that it is time, and Kuuya asks if it is that time already, the time passed too quickly. He asks if Hakuoro will come and meet him the next time he comes, and Hakuoro says yes, another time. Kuuya that says it's a promise.

Is this new guy hitting on Hakuoro?!
Spoiler for Game contents covering episode 10 – part 4:
[Visit workroom]
It is late at night and Hakuoro is in his workroom, and Eruruu enters. She asks what is wrong, as his face looks troubled. He says he was just recalling the previous battle. If they weren't defenseless, they may not be attacked so simply. Shikeripechimu's Emperor Niue doesn't seem to have given it up, and presently they don't know when there will be a second attack. Eruruu says that for that reason the castle at the border was built. Hakuoro says it is insufficient, and only is being used as a deterrent, so that it will look like they won't be so easy to attack and make them hesitate in an invastion, but they are still lacking a definite solution. He says as he thought, there is nothing he can do but borrow her power.
Urutorii enters and says that Hakuoro called for her. He says he needs to ask her something, and she asks what it is. He says that neighboring countries have been allying, and he wants to join in on that by all means, and is asking for her help. She says that she will deal with it immediately. He apologizes for it being so soon after she has come there, and she says no, that it is the duty of the Yomoru, and she wants to help the Emperor. He thanks her and tells her he is very grateful, and she smiles.
Eruruu, apparently forgotten, looks annoyed and claims "Here's the tea!" and puts it down with a thud. Hakuoro looks confused, wondering what that was about.

[Visit throne room]
Chikinaro enters the throne room and says he is sorry to have kept them waiting, he has his order ready. Hakuoro asks what order, and Chikinaro says it was for Karura's weapon. He then recalls how Karura had ordered a specially made weapon for when she joins the line of battle. In most swords, it would take a strong arm to cut through a chain, but the sword would break like a twig. Thefore, Karura ordered a sword be made that "never breaks, never bends, and doesn't slip", a completely unreasonable request. Therefore a substitute club was given to her, made of steel of superior strength and was made at great pains to be admirable, but she wasn't exactly happy about this; she threw it back claiming with absolute seriousness that her hand slipped. Therefore, emphasis was made again for a sword that would not break, bend, or lack, and ordered to the blacksmith to make it. Many kinds of metals were melded together into a very unreasonable make-up, and the possibility of making such a thing was doubtful.
Chikinaro says that since this is the first kind of request like this for the blacksmith, he was a bit perplexed. Hakuoro asks how hit turned out, and Chikinaro says that it has been finished to expectations, however... Hakuoro asks "However?" and Chikinaro says he should look it over. He signals with his hand and five powerful men enter, holding something. With a loud thunk they put down a sword with a blade similar to a hatchet, and so thick it looked like the thickness of many normal swords put together. Chikaro says however, only someone with the strength of five men can carry it. Hakuoro is shocked at hearing this, and wonders how something like this could ever be useful.
Karura walks in and says it looks like it was possible to fill her request. Hakuoro says that regrettably it was a failed work, as it much too heavy to hold. In a blink, she lifts the sword in one hand as if it were nothing more than a twig, saying the grip is so-so. The men stare at her open-mouthed. She hums and says she'll take a moment to go try out the new sword.
They go outside and she mutters to herself if it will be good. She stands in front of a tall garden stone, and then strikes the sword to it, and a loud explosion is heard. After the sound of the terrible crash clears, the rock is cracked right in two. She says the blade didn't slip, and then says that she likes it, they've done good work. She says she will accept it, and then walks away while humming cheerfully. The men stare at her as her figure disappears dumbfoundedly.
I said once and i will say again... Eruruu is dangerous when mad!
Anyway, i think this part had story and character development enough to cover more than 3 episodes. It’s really a shame they didn’t put all that in the anime.
Wow, according to the preorder site, over 6000 people have registered their preorders of the game and they have so far earned a clear file, post card set, and a special Stick Poster drawn by Tatsuki Amaduyu. Looks like there's only space for one more earnable bonus, the Sticker Sheet...
Small question for those who've completely cleared the Minigame...how the heck do you unlock the boss characters? Here's what I have so far...
Nuwangi = Smack him down with Eruruu
Mutsumi = Clear her with Kamyu
I don't imagine all of them are unlockable. I mean, having a Mutikapa or either of the Hakuoro transforms would be redundant. I haven't throughly cleared it yet myself. I'm still missing one no the far bottom right that I can't figure out.
But, after clearing either I and/or J with Hakuoro and Dii repeatedly, I found myself with the king of Shikeripetim, Yuzuha, the firebreathing tiger statue, and the archer mook. I also think clearing Suosokasu (D) with Karura gives you him. He does look awesome on attack too. Inkara you get with Oboro, and I think Touka clearing E gives you the guymelef brothers. I don't remember how I got Dii's either although am I ever glad I did...
On second thought, we may not even be talking about the same game. Never mind me.

Artist
but it was funny. haha.
We couldn't be any more opposite from hags, and whining is a better word than moaning since the latter can be easily misinterpreted by hentai fans on this board (conjuring up some rather disturbing and unneeded images in one's mind. In fact, this being the Utawarerumono forum, there's an Utawarerumono doujin... *rips eyes*), which makes you come off as a closet fetishist, and turns this thread several shades of wrong. So please, endorse properly applicative insults.
