While Kugaha collects sap to make pills, Nora visits him. He calls her "Norry" but she remarks that she dislikes that name and asks him to choose another from her body, showing off how many owners she has as a stray regalia.
He mentions that he visited one of her favorite owners, Yato, and notes that he will be useful. I must say this is some pretty decent build up and is raising my expectations. After the OP, we're taken to a fake-serious mood meeting between Yukine and Yato where he informs him that he's made a friend. Yato visits Tenjin's temple to be teased by Tenjin and Mayu for not even know who Yukine's new friend serves. A quick skirmish between Yato and a phantom happens and as soon as they're done, Yukine reverts back and rushes away to meet with his friend Suzuha ecstatically.
A sort of inside joke plays out through Suzuha saying he can get Yukine an autograph of Bishamon made out to Yato and him; the context being Suzuha not knowing who Yato is. Yukine starts to learn about Bishamon's family of regalias through Suzuha. Suzuha also takes Yukine to a cherry blossom tree and briefly goes through a story between him and a human friend, Tomoko, who could see him every summer, but can't ever remember him; they made a promise to see the tree together once it's fully bloomed but he has yet to see her again in 30 years.
This makes Yukine consider what will happen with his friendship with Hiyori. He wonders if she will forget about him and since he's already dead and won't age unlike Hiyori. Dr. Kugaha pays a visit to Suzuha in front of the cherry blossom tree. He taunts him by saying he's forgotten by Tomoko and hasn't been called by Bishamon in forever either. What a dickbag asshole. As he leaves, he sends a pack of wolf phantoms carrying the strange mask again to tear Suzuha apart with their fangs.
Once his death is confirmed, Bishamon awakens from her slumber from the pain of losing Suzuha's name from the contract. The next day, Yukine takes Hiyori with him to the tree and is suspicious about not seeing Suzuha there. Bishamon patrols her palace wondering what happened to Suzuha. Kazuma notices Bishamon's condition is worsening. As she turns in her sleep, he catches a glimpse of a blight mark on her neck. After running an inspection on every regalia under Bishamon with no results, the blight mark disappears.
Out by the tree again, Yato runs into Kugaha. Kugaha instigates a fight with him and taunts Yato by saying he's a weakling that will fade away as soon as he's forgotten. At that moment Yato immediately pictures Hiyori in his mind. This must be part of his plan to use Yato as mentioned in the beginning. As Kugaha retreats to Nora, we finally hear his plan of making Bishamon disappear.
I seriously can't wait for Kugaha to get what's coming. But if he's the main antagonist then that's going to take the whole season... I just want to see him get buttraped by Yato and Yukine, maybe even Bishamon if they find out what's going on.
Thanks for reading!
