Not just being limited to how some of the characters were still coping with Rihans loss but how an equal amount of the story felt to have been centred in the past as it was the present, the events at hand may have mainly dealt with Rikuos conflict with Hagoromo, but just why he even stood up was because he wanted answers.But still they persist and with an all encompassing attack where they band together and overlap their fears theyre capable of at least matching him for a moment and landing a single blow.Despite that however Seimei emerges completely unscathed and readies a counterattack, but something happens that stops him in his tracks, his arm begins to rot.After which the sky begins to clear and the members of the Nura clan breath a sigh of relief with Rikuo heading back to Yamabuki-Otomes side.
Where Kyokotsus daughter is completely devastated and Yamabuki-Otome brushes her palm along Rikuos face, convinced that if she ever were to have a son with Rihan he would have looked just like him and remembering how Rihan had been expanding the clans influence and consolidating his power for that very reason. Following which Rikuo allows Kyokotsus daughter and Gashadokuro to leave with her in peace, seeing her as Hagoromos Sesshouseki and the only thing they have left, with Hakuzouzu returning to thank him for the honour. Nurarihyon Ep 36.5 Free Of AnyAnd now with his mind free of any doubts Rikuo states his intentions to keep moving forward. Other than that Rikuo has went to Yura, who berates him about just letting Kyokotsus daughter and the others walk away, about a certain matter, to ask Akifusa if he can craft him a new spirit blade. And after this Rikuo reunites with his friends in the Kiyo Cross. From which it fades to Rikuo meeting two familiar figures in a strange place, his grandfather in his prime and his father, neither appearing to know the others and each regarding themselves as the true head of the Nura clan. Causing Rikuo to get flustered when they completely ignore him. Leading to a quick exchange of blows before the two former heads decide to have a drink under the cherryblossoms, another thing they leave Rikuo out of. ![]() To say that Rikuo could even scratch him at this point in the story would have been laughable. However regardless of that I think it turned out quite nicely, it had that awesome effect that having the opening theme play in the last episode gives and it managed to give a climactic ending to an otherwise anticlimactic arc. Providing a better sort of conclusion than simply having Rikuo effortlessly defeated and Seimei finding that his body wasnt ready yet and having to leave to consolidate his power, a lame sort of excuse for saying that he was going to leave until Rikuo was almost capable of matching him. And after that seeing things head to the ruins of the Keikain household managed to lighten things a bit, yet another parallel that Rikuo and Yura s story have with the Nurarihyon and Hidemoto s one by having the same sort of thing happen at the end of their battle. Though it was missing the sort of scene between them that the latters had. Other than that though it had a nice enduring feeling to it all, the Keikain household may have been destroyed, their clan head dead, the city in ruins, and it was only a matter of time before the harbinger of doom made his return, but they would rebuild and ready themselves for his return. Other than that there was just a nice feeling to seeing the three generations of the Nura clan together even in a dream, and Rikuo getting flustered about his father and grandfather ignoring him was fairly fun as well, we dont really see that cool and smooth act that Rikuo has in his night form break all that often. In all it was simply it a nice addition, making the ending a lot more definitive and fun as well. In many ways it did justice to what could be seen as the best arc in the series. And through it Shiibashi seemed to move the story out of its comfort zone by making it a lot more darker and grittier, making it a lot more serious and giving us a look into the past regarding Rikuos late father. Not to mention that this could also have been the point where he fully committed to an arc, having managed to break away from that typical and sad twenty or so chapters and thats it pattern that many new coming series in Shonen Jump tend to fall into. Where if they fail to grab a reader base by then and rank poorly in the ratings they get axed.
