Date A Live II - ep08


Initially it seemed like the purpose of the battle with Miku would be to reach a conclusion with her before going off to save Touka. However that wasn't Kurumi's intent because what she desired was Miku's non-involvement so that she wouldn't have to watch her back while dealing with the DEM. This leads the Kurumi giving Shido the opportunity to be alone with Miku so that he can convince her to back off while they are facing the DEM. In the end Shido takes things a step further by trying to get Miku to at least help him save Touka. That in doing this we get a glimpse into the true Miku and her pathological fear of humanity, that question is what happen to Miku to make her feel this way. Ultimately only thing Shido was able to do was to sew in the seed of doubt, but this allow him to get Kurumi's desired result even if Miku didn't promise him anything.

This leads us into the battle with the DEM and Touka's situation. It seem that they want Touka to cause chaos, that they are displease with the peace that exists. Which make sense DEM is an arms merchant, that if the threat of Spirits disappears than they are out of business. That during their interrogation it seems that the best way to do this is by killing Shido in-front of her. Which takes to the battle with the DEM where they make the first move, but Kurumi quick response by sending in her duplicates. Although it is not long after this that they are separated by the appearance of Mana.


Now that Mana has appeared and add that to the fact that she is always trying to kill Kurumi she takes her leave. However it seems that Kurumi has her own interest with DEM that she might of only helped him out because their interests alined. Now with Kurumi gone Mana is his acting bodyguard, which allow him to reconnect with Kotori which has been freed of Miku's power. In the end Mana isn't around for long with the return of Jessica Bailey using the Scarlet Licorice. This force Shido to march forward on his own, with leads him to being attack by the DEM as soon as he enters the building. Which results in him summoning Sandalphon once again, now that he is able to protect himself will he be able to save Touka. The question remains what parts will Origami and Miku play in this battle. It seems that Origami will be entering the battle soon, and Miku might just join in just to see the nature of Shido and Touka's relationship.
