Kita ze Inbou! - キタぜ陰謀!

[ Episode 3 ]

Now you’re stalking Ruka, Sousuke? Seriously dude, lay off on the “How to be a psycho lover” websites.

This episode reminded me of one thing Michiru talks about in the future. She mentions a “death” having occurred. I’m guessing that it’s to be taken literally and I can only wonder who the person would be. Of course, my mind goes straight to Sousuke. At this point he’s been an all-around bastard that constantly abuses Michiru every chance he gets. His behavior is extremely childish especially when he refers to promises and such. I was quite pissed at how he left Michiru outside of their apartment because she was late from work. Honestly, this guy is a real idiot if he thinks she’s supposed to leave work when he says so. That’s beyond unreasonable and the same can be said about the male customers thing. All Sousuke is doing to Michiru is ruining her career path and trying to damage her friendships. He’s insanely possessive and I can’t help but wonder when we’ll get an explain as to why he is the kind of person he is at the moment. Contradiction riddles his existence especially since he’s a social worker that deals with children being physically abused. Perhaps he was once one of those very same children?

Michiru needs to get a grip and leave that abusive relationship. If the ending of the episode is any indication, Sousuke’s beatings are only going to get worse from now on. I’m hoping that Ruka and the others pound some sense into her brain but the EP4 preview shows her saying some stupid things like “Sousuke is all alone”. I guess she wants to go back so that she can offer up her body for another ass-kicking. Takeru’s story is slowly starting to unfold and I don’t know what to think about Yuuko as yet. Something in the back of my mind is telling me she just might be related to Takeru. At first I thought it to be his mother but after seeing her face it could be an older sister. I’m not certain if Yuuko just being some unrelated housewife matches the tempo of the show. That feels like it would be much too normal. I’m really looking forward to hearing more on that.

Earlier I mentioned the whole death thing that Michiru in the future talks about. I’m wondering again if it could be referring to Sousuke. Maybe that conclusion is perhaps too obvious? The narration from Takeru in this episode hints at ominously at a possible fate of Ruka. I’m referring to when he mentioned that Ruka would go to any cost to protect Michiru, including sacrificing her own life. Perhaps that means the death could be referring to Ruka? It’s not at all clear at the moment but I can’t help but think about it after seeing Sousuke stalk her in this episode and apparently again in the next episode. Honestly, I don’t know what to expect when it comes to this show. Though from the looks of things at the moment, I don’t see Last Friends ending on an entirely happy note for the majority, if not all, the characters.
