Ehh, similar to last ep, with all the crazy students, I just found Yuuko pushing him off the stairs a bit too unbelievable with just what we've been told so far. I doubt she would have done it simply out of jealously, yandere-style. Even if she thought that Niiya was starting to see her as a monster, would it really have been enough to have her do that?
I'm thinking that instead, the Shadow "got" to her somehow, she experienced all the negative feelings and memories she'd kept at bay (Considering that was the shadow's goal all along, to get her to "remember" ), and it caused to to lash out, and Niiya just happened to be the closest person on a flight of stairs. I'm assuming her guilt afterwards at what she did made her lock away her memories. |

This was the first epi I really enjoyed in several weeks. not saying the last two werent good but I was glad the series got back to Yuuko's past. We start finding out just what Kage!Yuuko is, and though I had a feeling the shadow had gone into her when Kirie showed up I wasnt expecting that ending!

I have not read the manga, but it seems to me that the reason evil Yuuko has not done anything harmful is because (unlike air-head Yuuko) she cannot affect physical matter (so at most she can give you a bad dream infusing images from Yuukos tormented past) but if she gets enough of "good" Yuuko's memories then she will gain the ability to affect physical matter (and our Yuuko will truly become a shadow that cannot interact with the world around her).

Mhm, I'm sure that doing so will more than likely turn her into a vengeful spirit. I highly doubt that there's any other way for her to regain her memories and feelings, though. But then again, anything is possible; this is fiction, after all. I wonder if those negative feelings and lost memories are all that's keeping Yuuko in this world. I'm not very knowledgeable when it comes to ghost lore, but I think those two things, well, mostly the negative feelings, are usually what prevent ghosts from this leaving this world. If that turns out to the case for this story, then Yuuko will finally be able to die once she regains her memory. And while that may grant her some sort of salvation, I don't want that to happen; I just want a happy ending for Teiichi and Yuuko. |

Poor Yuuko. Wandering around for at least 60 years. Left to die in the basement with a broken leg. Forcing her ugly emotions out and forgetting things in the process.
One really can't help but feel sorry for her. Endless "No nickname today" Soul

Anyway, I also find this the best episode yet, and this kind of story is perfect for Ounuma Shin (the director), like ef... it seems that his style is perfect for ecchi ghost stories, down to the female MC's name (different kanji though) |

Shadow Yuuko is finally introduced after appearing a few times in the background in some of the earlier episodes. Some of the content I thought was skipped appeared later here, apparently further reordering the content. Anyway, seeing those parts animated was great. Quite a visual treat for this episode, though I did find Shadow Yuuko's appearance to be less freaky than expected. Not black enough, perhaps?
Now that they've come back to this part, it seems to me they're planning to go through with all the Shadow Yuuko related parts in one go, hopefully also including those from the more recent chapters. The special ED visuals for this episode was also a nice touch. Looking forward to the next episode.

But don't you guys think that this part of the story is weird. We just saw the sacrifice segment and the sacrifices were killed, not left to die in a basement. I think that Teichi's accident hints at her end, meaning someone she knew out of rage pushed her down the stairs and then left her. Her death was covered up with the sacrifice story.

Eh So in typical sacrifices you need someone already dead? Am I missing something here? I thought that when you make a sacrifice you kill something, so it should alive before getting sacrificed |

Well it would be a bit redundant then wouldn't it? To say that they're "sacrificed alive" when they need to be alive to be sacrificed anyway...
What I'm saying is that instead of killing her directly, they just left her alive for the spirit to kill her or something. Like burying someone alive.
