![]() ![]() I should have seen it coming, even in a series as leisurely as Cross Game, that they would line up two momentous events to occur at the same time: the finals game to get to the Koushien, and Akane’s surgery. ![]() Hiroshi, don’t let us powerless wimps down! ![]() He’s a powerless wimp, but all of us are powerless wimps in certain circumstances. He has no way to get through this alone, and no one he can trust. He talked to Kaname and she vanishes (though we’ll see her next episode). He reached out to Sakaki, who then betrayed him because he’s, I dunno, “tempting” to the wolves or whatever they are in this town. On the other hand you can’t blame him too much. He spends most of the episode moping and thinking. Not that I’m convinced at this stage that Hiroshi is capable of acting on his own. The episode ends with Sakaki, having managed to capture both Nemuru and Hiroshi, chuckling to himself about “the truth.” Maybe the two captives can swap a little more information in that shack. Her family and the cult they’re in do not approve. Nemuru frees Kaname, stops whoever-they-are from abducting Hiroshi, and remember she had also spared Isuzu a couple episodes ago. Cold and laconic to her friends, she continues to spare them when they “fall,” or like Kaname, ask the wrong questions. Not only is Sakaki working for his own interests, but Nemuru, the White Wolf Kannon, is beginning to rebel. We do get some interesting internal action. We learn that the hospital is trying to develop a vaccine for the curse, and they want Sakaki to help, but he’s got his own agenda, basically revenge for the killing of Miera, I believe, but isn’t it really Kaori who did it? And why did she almost cheerfully take on the title of Lady White Wolf? Don’t even get me started on this whole wolf thing. Ookami Kakushi 8 continues to answer a questions only to raise a couple more. ![]()
