Psychic Detective Yakumo episode 8

Let’s see if I can crank out a blog post before work!

But knowing my propensity to get side track probably not. But one can hope yes? That and cleaning just won’t get done.

You can do it!!!

Behold the amazing Psychic Detective Yakumo episode 8. Spoilers for cops not knowing they are cops and Haruka being the smartest person in the room.

STOP THERE BADDIE!!!

Episode Summary: Two cops (who look unimportant) are searching for the dude behind the 4 murders like 15 years ago. Then said dude just happens to run by so the cops give chase. AMAZING!!! Ms. Reporter Makoto tries to get Ishii out of his funk but that doesn’t work well. They end up calling Haruka and they meet at Yakumo’s Uncles house. They do brief introductions with Ishii being….a zombie. They decide to watch the video again to see if they can find any clues. Uncle notices that the ghost in the video is actually his sister and that must have freaked Yakumo out. Ishii decides that this is all useless and they should wait for the police to find both Gotou and Yakumo. Haruka is like bitch you are the police and you need to man up and look for your friend. Ishii goes outside to cry. Makoto goes outside to hold Ishii’s hand. He apparently has Daddy issues or something. But he puts his glasses on and decides he is going to man up.

Oh yes I do suck. Thanks for reminding me.

Haruka went on a walk to visit her dead sister (I think anyway) and it turns out she is buried next to Yakumo’s middle school teacher. Uncle tells the story about how the teacher died because of Yakumo’s eye and Yakumo tried to kill himself. Uncle stopped him and Yakumo was all like I don’t deserve to live. That is why Uncle decided he was going to wear a red contact too, so that he could carry the burden then too. That is also when Uncle told Yakumo that someone would love him for his red eye one day. They make it back to Uncle’s house where apologizes are issued and they keep watching the video. Haruka notices that there should be train sounds if the video took place in the mansion but there isn’t! MOG PEOPLE! They figure out that the reporter lady (Ms. Misfit) really wasn’t a reporter.

Why yes I still suck.

THEN Uncle decides to bring up something for no good reason. A long time ago Haruka’s mom and Yakumo’s mom were friends. See Yakumo’s mom was kidnapped and escaped two weeks later. Haruka’s mom found her and they exchanged letters up until Yakumo’s mom disappeared. Uncle seems to think that means the two are fated or something. At the end of the last letter Haruka’s mom wishes Yakumo’s mom the best of luck…with the dude wanted for murdering all those people 15 years ago (Takeda). MOG faces all around. Ishii and reporter lady go to find more clues while Haruka says she is going to go call her mom. Only she takes a nap instead. Ishii talks to his boss asking for Takeda’s case file. She says yes in around about way and they have a heart to heart in the men’s bathroom. Ishii promises to use the information to bring Gotou back. Ms. Misfit has appeared to kidnap Haruka so she can kill Haruka in front of Yakumo. But Takeda appears and it turns out he has been running around town so the cops will show up at Haruka’s and protect her. Ms. Misfit says something about knowing who Takeda really is and she runs off. There is a brief scene of Yakumo being tortured and THE END!

Amazing people. Not sure if I mean that though.

And no one likes you.

Guess I will start with what I think is the most ;( of all. So not only was Yakumo almost killed/unwanted by his mother and his father is a crazy person…..he is a product of rape. Why his Uncle told him that I have no idea but I probably would have tried to kill myself too. Like how much more does Yakumo have to go through? Well I am assuming it is rape anyway. Usually when people are kidnapped for two weeks and are running through the woods to escape their kidnapper I assume it was rape.

So now it makes more sense why Yakumo’s mom tried to kill him. She didn’t create Yakumo out of love so naturally her loving a product of rape would be difficult. Then when Yakumo’s eye started to become more prominent she probably worried he would end up being like his father. And then I am going to assume that she snapped when the whole Takeda thing happened and she figured she take Yakumo and herself out to end the misery.

Yeah despite her entire life sucking.....

Not that I am saying WOOHOO yay momma for trying to kill your kid. Just that I understand it better. And I am going on the record and saying that Takeda was probably framed by Yakumo’s father and she felt as if nothing was ever going to stop him. So poor Takeda and poor Yakumo. Probably poor momma too but trying to kill your kid no matter what is a bit -_- in my book.

But Uncle…Uncle. What were you thinking?! Like seriously dude. Why would you tell Yakumo he is a product of rape? I mean….I guess he might find out eventually. But Uncle’s words were “so he didn’t repeat the same mistakes”. Like was Yakumo going to kidnap some girl and rape her too? Yeah that is just weird, I am telling you about your past so you don’t become a rapist. That must have been fun.

Don't do it!!!!

But as sad as it was seeing Yakumo try to kill himself it gave us a side of him that we haven’t seen before. Tears in his eyes, full of despair. Yakumo looks vulnerable and had some human emotions. Of course after this he tried to cut himself off from humanity. Which makes sense too. But I like seeing how Yakumo came to be the person he is today.

Photobucket

Absolutely nothing?

I think it was a bit much that Haruka’s mom and Yakumo’s mom were friends. I guess it might make sense next episode but for now I think having Yakumo and Haruka being THIS connected is overkill. OVERKILL.

Photobucket

Huge loser!

I have no words for Ishii. Like…you are the police. WTF is wrong with you. You are a loser. The end.

Photobucket

You are WHO?! TELL ME!!!

I wish to know who Takeda is. That is the biggest mystery so far and not something I have been able to figure out 4 episodes ahead of time. So yeah want to know more about him.

Next week looks like Yakumo is going to be found. A little sad that there aren’t more mysteries going on in this series as this seems to be the main plot. But what can you go? Oh complain. Duh. XD
