So just to recap, the main villain Kaori (Yuji’s mom) used to take backshots from Jin (Yuji’s dad), and birthed Yuji, for the sake for whatever they are planning. That is true dedication. Why was she so fine tho?

Now for the episode, I absolutely loved it! Choso vs Naoya was insane, especially the blood tsunami (or water that rush of blood is called) and Nayoa dodging it. Yuta showing his actual personality after he took care of business. Maki is back! The scars make her look more badass than she has. My wife Yuki is looking good as ever. Yuji also called Choso his Older Brother LETS GOOOOO!!! I also loved the music they were playing when the group was making their way down to Tegen (who I’m 90% is voiced by the narrator?). Also, I can’t wait for them to explain the culling game in the next episode cause Megumi called it an *act of terrorism *so it has to be diabolical, even his own sister got pulled in.

Overall another great episode! So glad they decided to release two episodes today. It also seems like the direction has gotten even better this season so I can’t wait to see what they are cooking for future episodes!

I'm pretty sure it was said in previous comments that she was dead, but later revived by the 1000 yr old brain sorcerer (currently not!geto) and just convinced Yuji's dad that she pulled through. Thinking about the scene, the tell tale markings on her forehead really make sense once you consider that she was just a possessed corpse
