Episode eight of Yurikuma Arashi, titled “Bride-In-A-Box,” is currently streaming on FUNimation for paid members. Free members can watch the same episode six days from now on March 2nd.
Kureha obviously learns that Ginko is the long lost friend, but quickly believes that she may be responsible for the death of her mother. It is apparent that the murderer had Kureha’s mother pendant, which Ginko is obviously wearing right now.
It is apparent that Ginko knows a secret that will obviously devastate Kureha.
The plot thickens in a flash back going 20 years revealing that Yurika is a bear, which confirms my suspicions of the previous episode involving Kaoru’s death at the beginning. She was ultimately abandoned but was discovered by Reia, Kureha’s mother.
I figured that Yurika was secretly a bear by the way she presented herself to Kureha during their private conversations.
It is obvious that Yurika was in love with Reia.
Things have changed since Reia has given birth to Kureha, which I figured was the catalyst for Yurika murdering Reia. That means Yurika secretly despises Kureha and is secretly trying to ruin her life, which is true because she is obviously the true hand behind the Invisible Storm.
I bet Kaoru felt stupid upon learning the truth before getting snuffed.
It sucks even more that Ginko indirectly played a role in Reia’s death. The dark plot of the episode is pretty f—ked, which makes the story more interesting. I think Ginko should have told Kureha the truth instead of just “waiting for the right moment.”
The revelation centering on Yurika teaches a valuable lesson that the most deadliest plants are grown in your own backyard without you even realizing it. That means Kureha doesn’t realize the truth and nobody knows that the headmaster is a bear in disguise.
This was ultimately a very f—ked episode as the story gets darker.
I am liking this series so far even though it is geared towards the LGBT community and “yuri lovers.”
There is a dark and sorrowful story behind all of that sexy “yuri” fluff and I find plenty of intellectual value through the characters. It is shocking, but not surprising to learn that Yurika is the mastermind behind Kureha’s suffering.
Yurika is one cold, manipulative, and vindictive b-tch.
