Hello everyone,
Here we are to talk about the fifth episode of the comedy/battle/drama anime series Cube X Cursed X Curious that, with this episode, completed the old lady (Peavy) arc and is now ready, after introducing all the main characters, to enter the real content.
Yes, because in this episode we finally get to know the true identity of Kirika Ueno, that is a normal girl afflicted by a cursed tool that can't be removed no matter what forcing her to join a mysterious organization that work on researching cursed items.
We also get to know how powerful Muramasa can be when she gets angry and it was remarkable how she cut through the enemy weapon like it was butter. :P
The episode continues with Fear finally accepting his situation and fighting with everything she got against Peavy, the battle is unclear though because the cursed tool Peavy is using is quite powerful.
In this grave moment Kirika gets kidnapped and used as an hostage by Peavy that "kills" her in order to make Fear go crazy. Fear manages to resist the urges and together with Muramasa they attack her with all their power.
While they were near to win Peavy tried a last trick to win, but got stopped by a resurrected Kirika that used his cursed tool to bind her so that Fear can finally defeat her permanently.
Ok, I was nodding with the head and thinking "Ok, this is interesting my dear" for the whole duration of this fanservice scene.
I liked how they managed to stuff in the plot infinite possibilities of fanservice situations and scenes through this "particular" cursed tool.
All they have to do is making Kirika fight and they can stick fanservice (and a good quality fanservice judging from Kirika's looks) pretty much everywhere effortlessly. :P
The only negative note of the episode (and probably of the whole series till now) is the truth that is Kirika the reason for which Mummy Maker "died" in the last episode at the hands of Peavy.
I wonder if her death is permanent or not, if any light novel reader knows more about this, let us know in a spoiler tagged comment. I am really curious about it...
Next episode will likely go back to a normal school romance/comedy setting till another enemy will appear. I am ready to enjoy some fuwa-fuwa moment after all this fighting! :P
Concluding, this series is still interesting and has plenty of chances to improve even more in the future. I plan to continue to watch/blog it till the end!
See you soon,
