Kita ze Inbou! - キタぜ陰謀!

[ Episode 3: Raid ]

This is one of those episodes where Miharu can’t rely on his feminine side to save him. So no blushing!

Yup, that hat guy (his name is Yoite) really is a foe. If the OP/ED is any indication I’m guessing he’ll be one of the main antagonists throughout the series. His power is pretty damn sick though. He’s a “Kira” user and that makes things hugely difficult for our heroes in this episode. I could care less about the other guy who was with Yoike. Him using a gun is so much fail in my opinion. Anyway, as for Yoike I don’t see him joining up with Miharu and the others any time soon if that’s what is in store. Though at this point it’s difficult to tell how loyalties will play out in Nabari no Ou especially when you consider how closely nit ninja clans can be. I’m guessing Kairoushuu to be the same way despite their apparently no-good intentions.

At this point I’m wondering if Miharu is going to start fighting soon. Him just being Shinra Banshou obviously isn’t going to be enough if they’re going to have encounters like what they had in this episode throughout the series. I’m guessing he isn’t ready to fight yet but I really wanted to see him throw out some moves to help in fighting off Kairoushuu, especially against that Yoite guy. At least we got to see Kotaru at the very end of the episode laying the smackdown on Yoite though. He appears to be a pretty funny guy and I suspect that he’s the kind who probably likes to be around women. Hopefully everyone turns out to be alright in the next episode though I don’t see them recovering from their injuries in just one episode (or at least in one day anyway).
