Review: Signing out 2016 in style: Totally Dubwise follow up their successful Riddim Up collection with another full-spectrum compendium featuring all firm family faces. Finally, Sleepy Time Ghost has incorporated a vocal-less dub version which you could easily imagine Mungo's HiFi dropping to rapturous approval. FleCK takes things in a different direction, namely D&B, and the vocals sound amazing in combination with the pace of the drums, the wobbly bassline swerving underneath. Lfs download free. A slick release that covers various strands of British dance music history. But they've also roped in Wrongtom and FleCK on remix duties, the former of which doesn't divert from the original much but cleans it up a bit, smoothes over the edges and brings out some clarity in the mix.

I hope it's not a pursuit of more pointless interludes. I know it's just as pointless to tell teenagers to get their shit together so we can move on, though. Personal experience informs me that a teenager is going to squeeze as much drama out of the tiniest bits of nothing as often as possible, so it's no surprise to me that Inuyasha and Kagome are wasting so much time mining for it. RT isn't holding them back, either, being one of those 'cool moms' willing to let her kids get away with the darndest things.
Guys, does anyone even REMEMBER what we did with all that drama we hoarded? Did we spend it like currency to other teens who were willing to give us props in return? Did it just evaporate like water, and that's why there was never enough? Or is it still sitting around somewhere?
These are the big questions, folks.
Yeah, mild chiding is TOTALLY going to stop them from having another useless fight. TOTALLY.
Shippou asks Miroku if a monster bear has been eating people, and Miroku says that this is what the villagers told them. Evidently, Shippou tuned in and out of that conference, though I don't know how. I wouldn't be able to pay ENOUGH attention to a meeting about a murder bear. The village men they were talking to were even bandaged up and standing in front of the wreckage of homes when they spoke about it being a normal bear at first that attacked the fields. Then they say it transformed suddenly over the image of a giant creature holding a body by the middle in its jaws. The men say they haven't done a head count, so they don't know how many villagers had been devoured.
Miroku looks over at Inuyasha, who is surly as usual, and somehow determines he appears dissatisfied. He's become rather good at telling the difference between those subtle forms of irritability Inuyasha constantly wears. Inuyasha confirms that he's dissatisfied, wanting to waste Kouga first, whom he knows has shards for sure. Shippou mutters a question about whether that's because Kouga's Inuyasha's rival in love, and sports a nice lump on the top of his head in the next panel. Miroku asks if Shippou got it wrong, but Inuyasha refuses to answer, just telling them both to shut up. In the foreground, Kagome walks along with her eyes closed, looking like she's counting to ten.
She and Sango stop suddenly in surprise when two guys in ratty armor appear in front of them, claiming they'll be carrying them away from their dude companions with menacing chuckles. Shippou loses it, claiming he sees the monster bear, but Miroku assures them that these guys are just regular old plumbuses bandits. While Inuyasha glares at them, one of the guys takes offense to being called a 'regular' bandit. Oh? Want to present your resume with EXTRA rape, murder and theft on it for us to peruse? Hmmm?
But Inuyasha isn't much interested in that. He says he has nothing against these bastards, so they'd better get lost. Easily offended as they are, they call him a brat and begin to charge in order to waste him, but a series of snaps and crashes in the underbrush behind them give them pause. One of them looks over his shoulder to see..
Minor correction: OVERbrush. My bad.
Kagome recognizes the shine in the exposed brain of the bear and warns Inuyasha that the Shikon fragment is in its forehead. Inuyasha confirms he understands, draws Tessaiga, and jumps to slash at the bear. A stream of blood explodes from the long cut across its CHEST. Inuyasha, I thought you said you had this! What didn't you GET about 'it's in its forehead'?? Now the skinless bear is running away, and Sango hops upon a transformed Kirara with Hiraikotsu at the ready, shouting that the bear is running. Yeah, and it WOULDN'T be if Inuyasha could just hit what the fuck he's aiming for, the clod! He yells at the bastard bear to wait up, because if he can't carve that shard out of the bear's forehead by force, I guess he can try just asking for it.
Miroku urges Kagome to catch up to their group with him, and she agrees, both of them leaving the cowering bandits in their dust. The bandits wonder aloud just what the hell those people were, but they're not keen enough to follow and find out. To be fair, I probably wouldn't be that curious either.
Inuyasha is still running deeper into the forest, cursing about how the bear is a pretty quick runner. Over the trees, a buzzing cloud advances on the area too, Sango starting to identify them, and Inuyasha finishing for her when he too sees the giant wasps floating on the air: Saimyoushou.
I'm kind of surprised that this didn't happen with just regular insects before this point. I mean, the thing has NO SKIN.
One wasp pulls the Shikon shard out of the bear's brain, with Inuyasha and Kagome looking on with shock and slack jaws. The swarm of Saimyoushou start flying off into the sky, and Sango shouts that they're headed to take the shard back to Naraku. Miroku (Shippou still hitching a ride on his shoulder) and Inuyasha lurch forward at Miroku's prompt to pursue them, with the possibility of finding Naraku's castle this time. The wasps swish as they trace an arc through the sky.
Meanwhile, behind a familiar waterfall, someone is regaling an audience of lounging wolves with the promise of a Shikon shard in some lord's castle somewhere. This guy, hair swept back and black markings beneath his eyes, sits in front of Kouga resting against a rock, proposing that him and his from the North Cave and Kouga's pack from the East Cave could raid the castle together for that Shikon fragment. He promises that they'll split any shards they find, even though he's been talking about only ONE shard thus far. What happens when there's nothing to split? Oh well, we'll fight that bridge when we get there.
Cross. I mean cross.
Kouga, displaying his wounded arm plainly propped on his knee and cuddled by his wolves around him, glares at the question of whether or not he's in on this heist. He apologizes, stating that the prospect doesn't interest him. North Cave guys ask him why not, and Kouga cryptically says with an inclined head that there's another matter he has to take care of first. Turns out Kouga is also thinking about Dog-Turd Inuyasha, unable to be satisfied until he wastes him himself. North Cave guys are cool with the rejection, saying that no one is forcing Kouga, and noticing the injury as well.
His fellow humanoids surround him once the North Cave guys leave, asking if he's sure about refusing the offer, worried about the Shikon fragment being taken by that pack instead of theirs. Kouga mumbles that they should just leave it alone, but a couple of them aren't interested in leaving it alone, stating that they're going with the North Cave guys. Rolling his head to the side, away from his critics, Kouga tells them to do whatever they want.
Outside of a castle, who I can only presume to be a combination of North Cave guys and guys from Kouga's pack have arrived, someone stating that this is the place with the load of Shikon shards. There's a bit of a surreal, swirly sky above, though, so I think we know whose castle this is. The main North Cave guy leads the charge toward the gate, encouraging his followers to waste any humans who come to defend, and a cheer of affirmation accompanies his permissions.
They climb over the outer wall, backlit and monstrous, but soon they're looking around in confusing, wondering where the watchmen are when they're supposed to be in the empty watchtowers. In fact, the only person that seems to be there at all, is walking down the front steps a ways ahead.
A female person? In a castle? Get out of town!!
Said female person smiles at them, complaining that they're nothing but small fry. Clearly, she is not impressed by the rag-tag team of wolves. And why should she be? It looks like she's dressed for a good time, and these guys didn't even put on a damn tie.
Back at the waterfall, Two-Tone and Mohawk run up to Kouga's sick nest, the former announcing that there's bad news, and the latter trailing off in an account of what happened to the guys who went to the castle. A man with a scar across his left eye staggers toward Kouga with a permanent look of shock on his face, and Kouga jumps up, asking what happened. The man presents a Shikon fragment to Kouga, saying it's the only thing he could bring back. Then he collapses forward into Kouga's arms, begging Kouga to use the shard, despite how unnerved Kouga seems. He insists that Kouga head to the castle, or else everyone will be killed. Kouga stares, teeth clenched.
Next we see of him, he's speeding along through the forest, taking the man's advice by slapping the Shikon fragment into his arm, ready to make use of it. We return to the waterfall cave once more to see Two-Tone expressing some disbelief that the man managed to make it back with injuries so serious. The man takes this opportunity to fall apart. Literally. A diagonal slash straight across his torso separates his bust from his lower half, the wound bubbling strangely. Two-Tone and Mohawk are flabbergasted and agape with horror, unable to form complete questions.
As Kouga continues to run along the base of a short cliff, a familiar primate-fur-clad figure follows his progress from the top, chuckling darkly. Naraku recognizes that Kouga is using the fragment his dead agent gave to him, and seems awfully pleased about it. What exactly did you put in that drink shard, Naraku?
Gee, Naraku, impatient much? You could have just waited for Inuyasha and Kouga to meet again organically, since they're all about murdering each other anyway, but you just HAD to go several steps BEYOND fanfiction of their brawl, didn't you?
So, what did I think of this chapter overall? I am SO pumped right now! Our minor monster at the beginning of the chapter is just the kind of horror I love from RT, just wrong ENOUGH to give you chills and imagine what it would be like to meet something like that yourself. It's just a bear, but taking its skin and the top of its skull off really gave it that freaky quality that makes my skin crawl. Just what I needed for the beginning of my All-Hallows-Month.
But the creepy tricks of this chapter aren't done yet, with the introduction of a woman who faces off against a whole army of wolf youkai with a smirk. Keep in mind that, again, these guys were YOUKAI. They ARE the monsters, planning on taking out regular humans at the castle, and for them to be the victims here, one of their corpses even made to walk back to Kouga in order to play messenger, is quite a horrible concept. Just how much more of a monster must this woman be if she did this to other literal fucking monsters? As Kouga all but admitted earlier by saying that he couldn't go out with his mangled arm like that, he doesn't stand a chance.
And to top it off, Miss Fan over here is one of my favorite characters in this manga. I love her so much, and it is a JOY seeing her every time she shows up. It only gets better while she grows as a character and her arc develops, so get ready for an emotional ride.Ah yes, calming the soul is definitely something that should be done here. But how to go about it? Most kids don't have much patience for sitting still and meditating, and this one in particular has demonstrated that she's resistant to settling her ass down, so that's out. Speaking patronizingly to her didn't seem to help either. What's left?
The clock is ticking, Kagome, so you'd better come up with a plan soon. Especially now that the Tatari-Mokke is descending at a certain familiar spot.
Mayu has been deposited someplace pitch black, wondering where she is now. She sees a line of light in front of her and reaches out to it, pushing open a door. A gust of fiery air rushes into her small dark space and she balks at the flames quickly surrounding her.
Meanwhile, Inuyasha and Kagome land where they saw the Tatari-Mokke disappear, and Kagome recognizes it as the burned out former home of Mayu's family while she runs toward it.
Inuyasha comes in after her, also seeing the ghost flames and asking if Mayu burned to death. Kagome confirms that Mayu died in the fire in the apartment and Inuyasha relays what Myouga said about the Tatari-Mokke bringing the child meant for Hell on a detour to relive their death before dragging them off. After he says this, one of the Tatari-Mokke's wide eyes appears to Inuyasha and Kagome through the flames, alarming them.
What the balls?? Tatari-Mokke needs to seriously back the fuck up off people who AREN'T supposed to be bound for Hell!
In order to send this message, Inuyasha swings his Tessaiga down on where the Tatari-Mokke disappears, and it comes down on a burned carpet devoid of flames, ghost or otherwise. The Tessaiga hasn't even transformed, still in its junk-state while Inuyasha faces the empty apartment with bewilderment. He mutters that Kagome's gone with wide eyes and sweat at his temple.
Back at the hospital, it appears that someone has found Satoru's mom and patched up the lump on her head with a bandage. She sits in the hospital hallway, looking nervously contemplative. She's sure her vision of Mayu looking the way she did before she died wasn't an illusion. Suddenly, a nurse bursts from a nearby door to announce something about Satoru and his mom jumps to her feet. She runs into the room to see Satoru on a gurney, awake and recognizing her.
Satoru's mom tearfully holds her hands up to her mouth in shock. While she kneels down to put a hand on her son's chest, the nurse informs him that he's been asleep for half a year already. Satoru puts his hand over his moms and haltingly mutters to her.
THIS IS KILLING ME, GUYS.
Switch back to the apartment, where Mayu is sitting crouched in the ghost flames thinking that it's too hot and someone needs to save her. Realizing she's already dead, she knows that no one saved her then, so no one can save her now, hanging her head.
Suddenly, she hears someone call out her name. She stands, thinking it might be her mother, but she looks out of the closet to see that it's Kagome shouting for her to answer. Kagome looks around and sees Mayu peeking from around the doorway and runs toward her kneeling in the closet in front of the little girl sitting again to back away from her. Kagome urges Mayu to take her hand so they can get out of there and go home, but Mayu asks if she's some kind of moron. She shouts that she's already dead and has nowhere to go home to.
Kagome observes something happening behind Mayu.
This ocean of fire just turned to an ocean of OH FUCK. You would think those would be the same thing, but RT managed to make a distinction!
The chains around Mayu's arms tighten and Kagome lunges forward to grab her, calling out her name. She just grasps her hand before Mayu is pulled out of her reach, but this only means that Mayu is a tug-of-war rope between Kagome and the chains of Hell. She looks fearfully down into the depths where the chains disappear, then back up as the Tatari-Mokke's eye appears above Kagome, insisting that she go to Hell.
The pull is even stronger, yanking Kagome down to her armpit as she struggles to hold on, Mayu looking up at her with despair. It looks like she's already resigned to her fate, but Kagome yells at her to come back because Mayu can't possibly let it end like this. Kagome begs Mayu to come home with her and make up with her mother. Mayu's eyes widen, like she didn't even think of making-up as an option.
Mayu hangs her head and mumbles something about 'won't be' which Kagome doesn't quite understand. Mayu asks more clearly if her mother won't be angry. It's Kagome's turn to widen her eyes. She tells Mayu that she thinks her mother really loved her and she asks if Mayu wants to see her again. GREAT deflection, Kagome! Mayu doesn't even care that she didn't get an actual answer, because all that matters is she's not willing to never see her mother again after this crappy night.
Oh, girl..
Some time later, a moderately high-heeled shoe steps on a piece of broken glass in the apartment. It's Satoru's mom, who mutters Mayu's name while remembering the first thing Satoru said when he woke up. She hears a call to 'okaa-san' and looks over to see Mayu there next to the shattered window, looking sheepish. Satoru's mom stutters out Mayu's name in disbelief and drops to her knees in BROKEN GLASS AND EVERYTHING when Mayu approaches.
Mayu tells her mother that she's going now, confusing her.
IT'S JUST TOO MUCH!!!
I don't know how Inuyasha and Kagome aren't crying their eyes out as they peek inside through the busted window, checking out how Mayu's make-up with her mom went. Seriously, do they have hearts of freaking STONE?
Kagome just looks kind of wistful when she says that she thinks that what she did was the right thing after all. Inuyasha is looking down at her in amazement as he thinks that she REALLY managed to calm a fucking ghost. He puts on an exasperated face when he criticizes her actions as risky considering she could have been dragged to Hell too if she failed. He uses the word poltergeist to describe Mayu, but Kagome considers the word as though it doesn't quite fit.
Later, Souta is telling Kagome as he visits her room with a summer Popsicle that Satoru is finally getting out of the hospital next week. Kagome says that's nice, before Souta passes along Satoru's mom's regards, though he doesn't quite understand why. Kagome says she sees, again looking a little melancholy. He leaves and Kagome gazes at the ceiling as she sits at her desk and sighs, thinking that it's all over.
Someone whispers at Kagome from the window, though, and it can't be Inuyasha because he's too loud for that shit.
That was the sewing project! Satoru's mom was doing it for Mayu's upcoming birthday!!
Mayu flies away back toward the no-longer-threatening Tatari-Mokke, waving at Kagome and thanking her. Kagome smiles up at her and thinks that Mayu was just a little girl who really loved her mom.
I swear, I look EXACTLY like that right now.
So, what did I think of this chapter overall? I think I pretty well expressed myself to an embarrassing capacity above. Don't for one second think that I'm exaggerating when I say that all of those gifs were absolutely representative of how I felt, and always feel, reading this chapter. This little arc always hits me SO hard with all of the emotions; the pain, the loss, the relationships between all the members of the family. RT makes Mayu, her brother, and her mother so REAL; they are such distinct people established in their very understandable personalities and struggles that it's hard to believe that they're just characters in the manga. This paired with the serious subject matter and the beauty of how it was treated is amazing to me. This chapter and its arc are works of incandescence.
That's not to say it's without its flaw, though. Much like the Tessaiga arc, I'm wondering how Kagome and Mayu got OUT of the illusion of the day Mayu died and back into the real world. They just end up back in the real world again, with no explanation. Unlike that arc, though, there are at least HINTS that the Tatari-Mokke may have let them out of the illusion. It alerted Kagome to the fact that there was a problem with Mayu, dragged her into the illusion with Mayu which allowed her to directly help, and the chains DID break on Mayu when she finally admitted that she wanted to see her mother. It seemed like the Tatari-Mokke put Kagome in with Mayu in order to give Mayu a chance, and once that chance was taken, it could let both of them go.
It's those hints that allow me to give this one chapter a pass on how Kagome and Mayu made it out of there, because even though it wasn't explicit, there are reasons to believe that their escape was dependent on Tatari-Mokke just dissolving the illusion around them.
All in all, I'm ALWAYS awed by this chapter in how much it can make me feel all throughout it. I don't think there will ever come a time when I'm not moved to tears by it.
