Episode seven of Yurikuma Arashi, titled “The Girl That I Forgot,” is currently streaming on FUNimation for paid members. Free members can watch this same episode six days from now on February 23rd.
Kaoru’s monologue after the start of the episode proved my point about mean girls like herself, they are ultimately out for themselves. The Invisible Storm, which was led by Kaoru, is spawned from fear and paranoia. They band together and make alliances to save their own skins.
These girls will not hesitate to sell each other out.
I was shocked, but not surprised that the girl Kaoru was sleeping with happened to be a bear.
Part of me suspects that the bear is either Mitsuko Yurizono, who is believed to be dead, or Yuri-ka Hakonaka. I have the feeling that Yuri-Ka could be the bear sleeping with Kaoru, but I really do not care at this point.
I’m happy that Kaoru’s dead because she had it coming since pulling that Invisible Storm s—t on Kureha.
Ginko reveals herself to be the friend that Kureha had forgotten when she was a young child, but it seems that the memories are coming back. I applaud Ginko for literally jumping through fire to help Kureha remember her.
I was surprised to learn that Ginko was bullied as a young girl because she was an orphan, which is very common in society.
This leads me to believe that this is one of the reasons Ginko befriended Kureha.
There are mean girls at the school and there are mean girls in gear society. I was shocked and surprised that Ginko beat them down, but I understand the suppressed anger. In Ginko’s defense, those girls had it coming the moment that they picked a fight with her.
It surprised me more that Ginko fought in the war between humans and bears.
But I was tripped out to see the bears use modern weaponry like tanks and submarines against the humans.
Yureha proves to be Ginko’s only true friend, which causes her to risk her life to break through the barrier between the two races. I think something happened to Yureha to cause those memories to become suppressed and her mother’s death may have played a role.
If Yuri-Ka is a bear in disguise, then it makes me suspect her of killing Reia.
This was an interesting and enjoyable episode to watch as it was filled with tragedy on both parts, which makes it apparent that Kureha and Ginko were destined to be together as Reia may have predicted through her book. I also enjoy the added suspense, which is drinking me bonkers.
