Sankarea - Episode 11



We finally reach the resolution between Chihiro and Danichirou that the writers have been needlessly prolonging. Things start out with the maids following Danichirou with Chihiro strapped into the wheel chair. This leads Chihiro to believe that they have some sort of unspeakable torture planned for him before they execute him. However his belief proves to be unfounded because he finds himself inside a dojo. It seems that Danichirou plan was to have them dual to see who is best fit for Rea. Then while this is going on Rea rushes into her home ordering the maids to take her to her father. Although while she is focus on the maids the men that capture Chihiro use fishing nets to capture Rea.

Once Rea is lock-up and at the maids mercy, we focus back in on Chihiro who is about to have a dual with Danichirou. Then just as they are about to get started Chihiro rejects the entire idea because he has no experience in fencing nor any knowledge of any other martial art. Then further more he bring into question why they even end to fight to begin with, he major point is that Danichirou is abnormal or lusting over his daughter because of her genetic similarity to his wife. That his hobby of taking nude pictures of his daughter is beyond sick and wrong.

Then as this is going on we flash back to Rea being imprison by the maids until she has finally had enough, and she breaks free to find Chihiro. In her rush to stop what ever plans her father has for Chihiro, she doesn't change out of the bunny-girl outfit that the maids dressed her up as. Then just as she reaches the room where Chihiro and her father are having a duel. Danichirou stabs Chihiro straight through the chest.

Although the thing that surprises everyone is that Chihiro didn't die, when Danichirou question him on this fact. It take a moment to think on why he didn't, be he remembers that the previous night Rea was licking his wound. That at the time he must of gotten infected by her poison, and this allow him to become a half-zombie. That allows him to suffer a fatal wound and not die, but allow his heart to still beat. When Danichirou tries to follow up a finish Chihiro off by beheading him, Rea protects Chihiro by blocking her fathers strike. This leads to her telling him that if he wishes to continue the fight she will be his opponent.

This leads to Chihiro explaining the reason why Rea had to die. That when she was alive, she didn't have the freedom to be normal. However now that she is a zombie the furthest thing from normal, she can now have the life she was denied. The life of normal girl that Danichirou would never allow her to have, that she never want to be special to begin with. That in realizing the truth, he agree to allow Rea to continue living with Chihiro to have her normal life. However he tells Chihiro that this isn't going to be forever, just while he is away in America looking for a cure to Rea's condition. Things end with Chihiro collapsing from his wound, when the effects of Rea's poison wear-off. The episode concludes with Chihiro trying to recover at home in his bed.
