Kekkaishi 326 | Shonen Beam
opinionated commentary on all things shonen
October 24, 2010 torisunanohokori Leave a comment
Tokine’s dive to te center of te earth continues. She’s still using te Kekkai for makeshift stairs rather than just freefalling, a cautious approach that makes perfect sense in light of how much Mahora’s power has been built up.
As Tokine closes in on te center, we’re treated to a bunch of appropriately otherworldly imagery. When she actually reaches him, she wastes no time waking him up. Typical no-nonsense Tokine.
Well, Mahora’s awake now. Diplomacy commences with all te necessary formalities, and Mahora immediately responds by spearing her through te chest with a mass of shadow. This is a pretty neat development. I certainly wasn’t expecting te negotiations to be any kind of easy, but there’s no way Tokine’s done now. How exactly she copes with this will be an interesting measure of her training while she was out of te main story.
Spearing for a spearing
Leaving off at that ideal cliffhanger, te focus switches to Shichiro, whose land god makes a passing comment to te effect that whatever Mahora just did was significant. This is more reaffirmation that land gods are interconnected somehow.
Yoshimori’s mom shows up to ask Shichiro for help with te sealing. Interesting banter between te two, but most of it is just her continuing to to be supremely confident. As little as we’ve seen of her, she feels like an overpowered character already.
Either extremely powerful or extremely arrogant
We come back to Tokine fairly early. I was expecting to have to wait until te next chapter to see more of her.
… not that I mind at all. Te panels that depict Tokine sliding out of a skewer are on te high end of fantastic. Her power-up, Utsusemi, is full-on intangibility, something that goes such a long way towards legitimizing her as a capable diplomat. She now has te technique necessary to stand against te worst of demons, nicely complimenting te levelheadedness she’s always had. Without there being some specific limit on how long or how much she can use this one, I sense a significant shift in her Tier List position.
Final Flash: Awesome Tokine chapter, period. Her character was lagging behind Yoshimori’s in power for te longest time. Here, she survives a situation that would likely have killed him, perfectly reestablishing her as a relevant character.
