Tasogare Otome X Amnesia - Ep07




This time they are finally addressing the shadow Yuuko that has been appearing on occasional. In the Manga there is more of a set up because they are actively pursuing it before it takes direct action. However in the begin of the episode they focus in on the fact that Yuuko is starting to act strangely. In this way she is become more attached to Teiichi, where she is sitting in his lap during class. Then there is the fact that she is become jealous of his interaction with Okonogi and Kirie. This happens as Yuuko is dragging him off to have lunch on the rooftop they are stopped by Okonogi, which Teiichi agrees to have lunch with because he really doesn't have a reason to say no. However during Yuuko does two things to indicate that she wants to be left alone with Teiichi. The first is that she eats his lunch for him so that he would no-long have a reason to say near Okonogi. The second things is that she knocks some food out of Okonogi hand as she is trying to feed him.

Later on Kirie is having a conversation about Yuuko with Teiichi, How Kirishima Yuuko is in some ways a lot like Konoe Yuuko. That as Kirishima forced all of her misfortune onto Yuuko, Yuuko is doing the same thing to this shadow version of herself. She goes further by asking the question of maybe what this shadow is a form of psychological disorder. The is a disorder call disassociate amnesia where a person creates an second personality to force their problems on, and maybe because Yuuko is a ghost it has allowed it to act independent of Yuuko. This also would mean that no-matter what Teiichi does Yuuko with never get back her memories. Also this explains why she doesn't have any negative emotions like angry or hatred.

Then just as Kirie is finishing her explanation they turn around and see Yuuko there, and for some reason she runs off. However after Teiichi catchs up with her, they wind up infront of the curse stone. Which it turns out to really be a historical record of 1953 how there was a plague, and Yuuko's name is being refurded to in association with the plague. This leads Teiichi to believe that all the stories that they have gather so far has a degree of truth to them in telling the story of what happen to Yuuko. That about half a century ago there was a plague and to stop it Yuuko was chosen by Akabito to be the living sacrifice. The one problem with his theory is that she did so willingly but if the was true why was her leg broken to keep her from running away. Also why is the place it was done at underground.

Although the next day, Yuuko greets him like normal but she seem a little off to Teiichi. It seems like for some reason now when every she see her refection, instead of seeing herself she instead see Shadow Yuuko. It reach a point where it appears as if Yuuko got possessed by her shadow self, and pushes Teiichi down the stairs. Later when Teiichi comes back to school with a broken leg, he makes his way to the old school building where Yuuko is. However he is horrified to realize that she has forget him, it appears that Shadow Yuuko took Yuuko's feeling of jealousy as well as all her memories of Teiichi.
