Episode 23

Why is it suddenly a full moon??

Notes[edit | edit source]

Himeka2 has a birdcage in her room for some reason. (Himeka has one too, which I forgot to grab a shot of.) Perhaps the family crow stays with her?...
Kirio's masterpiece has episode 15 disguised Karin as his princess and sumo Karin as his monster.
Even though it's long past the reveal and these are new shots, Kirika is still shown with bangs covering her face as a kid. Apparently her hair really did just look like that.

And then shit hits the fan.

Kirio wishes he had power, any power... His reflection moves on its own. Kirio takes notice, and the entire mirror lights up red. The Zeus ring glows, and Himeka2 wakes up...
Kirio shows up jacket and glasses missing, shirt open, collar popped, a cruel smirk on his face. He doesn't even react to Karin calling him "meganekko". After attacking a few times, he seems to struggle and then comes back with an even creepier smirk. Yeah, he put the Zeus ring on. He puts up a shield which Kirika, Kazusa and Karin have to combine powers to break; doing so puts a strain on Kirika's ring and cracks it.
... Kirika realises this is not the Kirio she knows. A beam of light strikes from the ring to Kirio's hand, stabing Kirika right in the gut- he can use the ring without even touching it. A black miasma appears in Kirio's eyes; the same black miasma gathers around him and Kirika and causes her to vanish. The Nyx ring shatters; Nyx's staff joins Ares's in the Slab of Stone.
Outside, the black miasma envelops the entire house briefly.
Kirio's reply to Karin again calling him meganekko is not only completely ooc for Meganekko, it has a creepy echo behind it- like a second voice is talking along with him.
The red ball of energy Kirio fires at Kazusa and Karin has some sort of design on it...
