Mushiuta – Episode 4
Short Summary:
Haji is Branch chief of the Eastern Central branch of the SEPB. His goal is to find the three mushi hosts who started everything and then get rid of all the other hosts so Japan comes back to peace. Kakkou is ordered only to kill the mushis, but not harm their hosts, although they are Fallens after their mushi has been killed, which means they are like dead. So much about the background story ( I have to write it down to rember and understand it all myself).
Centi wanders around in the park while his mind is trapped in astrange fanatsy world, which consist of clocks and mushis. In the meantime lady bird an Kakkou meet and she accuses him of having crushed the little girls dreams and futures. Kakkou ansewrs her weakness is the reason why lady can’t save anyone. She’s getting angry and swears to kill Kakkou, but the whole situation is an ambush and many SEPB mushis appear. The situation seems hopeless for Rina, but suddenly Centi and his mushi come out of the ground to save her.
Shiika and one of the younger boys of the Mushibane have met and wonder around in the park together till they meet Haji’s assistant who shows them the way to the east exit, of course that’s also an ambush. The two are clever enough to be careful and hide.
While the rest of the Mushibane try to escape Kakkou has to find out his colleague Minmin is a traitor and exchanges information with the Mushibane. They have a fight and Minmin flees. But the Mushibane around lady can’t escaped. They get caught by spider mushis and Haji turns up to have a profound conversation with lady. When he tries to touch lady Centi goes bersekr and his mushi starts to devour his dream, which means it mutates and Centi is going to be killed. Kakkou tries to kill his mushi and asks lady for help. First she refuses, because Centi will become a Fallen, when his mushi is killed, but in the and she agrees as Kakkou convinces her there will be a way to bring him back from being a Fallen. The most important thing is he stays alive. So lady does as she’s supposed to do and kills his mushi, there’s some time left before it’s finally dead and Rina and Centi walk away together. They speak of the time when they founded the mushibane and Centi remebers how Rina gave him a kind of home and it seems he loves her. Then it’s over, he has become a Fallen and Rina cries desperately.
In the end Shiika and the young boy see the SEPB forces run and the boy guesses they are hunting lady and the others, so he runs of the save them. Shiika recognizes he is a mushitsuki and wonders what she should do now. Finally her own mushi appears.
My opinion:
This must have been the longest summary I’ve ever written, but I’m so sucked in by this show that I don’t want to miss or forget anything. It’s been a suprise Minmin is a traitor, but I should have recognized, as the Mushibane knew where Fuyuhotaru would be the next day. I wonder wether Daisuke knows who Shiika is or not.
Haji was introduced properly this episode and he’s one of the Gendou Ikari type of characters, you just have to hate him. Is he really a relative or even the father of Shiika or did his assistant get the totally wrong idea?
I love the way Rina acts when she is lady bird. She tries desperatley to be strong, but she’s so human and emotional, she might be my favourite character so far. I also got to like Centi, it’s a pity he’s a Fallen now and I hope he will come back soon.
