episode 08 question

Post by frostschutz »

Hi,

in Episode 08, Nakajima and Sukimoto are on the Ship to En, which is attacked by Youma at the end of the episode. Suddenly, a giant water snake thing turns up and kills all Youma. Sukimoto loses her Hinman.

What I do not understand is, why is Nakajima's Hinman not killed by that giant water snake thing? Is there any reason to this?

Many Theories for this.

One - Youko's Hinman had the sense to stay inside her and quite while Sug's got out to talk to her so was sawn and fried.

Two - The Youma was fireing bolts randomly and they just happend to hit Sug's hinman

Three - Youko was being protected by tentai.

Four - The Snake was just full before it ate Youko's

Take your pick.

QUACK QUACK!!!
