[C] The Money of Soul and Possiblilty Control Episode 10

There are two of them?! And the one on the right has green hair and speaks in Engrish?!

With 'C' continuing to change the lives and futures of many, Jennifer and Kimimaro finally decide to take on Mikuni to save their own futures. The two decide to enlist the help of the information broker, Taketazaki, who believes that Mikuni can only be defeated if they make the yen as useless as paper. He then manages to somehow throw some of Mikuni's savings all over Japan...And chaos ensues. This scene was done excellently, from the crowd's overjoyed reactions to suddenly gaining a large sum of money, to their frustrated reactions upon finding out that the yen is now useless.

I don't know why, but that pink dog balloon thing caught my eye.

And so it begins.

What is with this show and its random victory dances? On another note, nice apron.

Kimamro then decides to challenge one of the members of the Guild while Jennifer battles Mikuni elsewhere. Out of concern for Msyu, Kimimaro refuses to have her participate in the battle against the creepy dude in the Hawaiian shirt whose name escapes me. Though the battle initially looks bleak for Kimimaro, but he manages to land a final, winning blow on that creepy guy with the aid of Msyu. Jennifer, on the other hand, is in the opposite situation.

Money as a substitute for blood...okay...

DID NOT SEE THIS COMING.

Just when I was beginning to like her too.

After Q's "awakening", Jennifer no longer stands a chance and suffers a crushing defeat. Before she passes, however, she gives Kimimaro her asset, Georges, and then I left my mouth hanging open after realzing what just happened. Kimimaro, seething with rage, charges at Mikuni without thinking...Not a very smart move, though you can't really blame the guy after what just happened.

He was owned so bad.

The episode ends on another cliff hanger, hinting that the final showdown between Mikuni and Kimimaro will finally be featured on the following episode. Although Jeniffer died here, this episode was still extremely well-done in setting up the final battle and increasing the tension in this series' final episodes.
