The new Yuji returns to his homeland and revisits places that were dear to him recalling past events.

————————————————————————————————

Keisaku informs Tanaka of the Crimson Denizen and tells him to be on the lookout.

Elsewhere, Margery’s started drinking even though it’s midday. But she then senses a Denizen, a big one.

Wilhelmina and Shana continue training in a deserted area of the city and they too, sense the Denizen’s presence, or rather, the Lord.

Margery calls Wilhelmina and arranges for them to standby whilst she goes to check it out. Tanaka who just arrives, decides to help.

Shana calls Kazumi and informs her of the Denizen, she says she’ll head to the Haridan with Tanaka.

Yuji walks to the place where he should have met Shana or Kazumi that Christmas. He wonders if they got his letters, but he’s here now, so it doesn’t matter.

Margery watches Yuji from the roof of a nearby building and calls Shana to tell her what she found.

As Yuji walks around town, he thinks back to the places that were important to him and all the events that had happened.

Tanaka and Kazumi reach the Haridan.

Yuji climbs to the top of one of two bridge pylons and greets Shana who stands atop the other.

Thoughts:

Well, this was more of a recap than anything else. So, obviously I have nothing much to say. But for once I don’t mind a slow flashback orientated start. The main reason being the second season was aired 3 years ago and I’ve completely forgotten everything apart from the general plot of Shana vs Bal Masque, so it’s good to be reminded of other important events. Like Yuji’s mum was pregnant before this season. And there are a lot of episodes this season, so it can afford a few slow ones.

The only thing I want to say is that it seems the conscious of old Yuji is still alive in the new Yuji. If so, why did the others let him return here and why hasn’t the other guy taken complete control? I wonder if this meeting with Shana will be a declaration of war, if so will it relate to what Yuji said in the first episode about changing her fate? If so, what fate and why does he want to change her fate?

Still so many questions, all to be answered soon.
