comment |
A lesser-known manga by Kei Kusunoki, the author of Bitter Virgin and Ogre Slayer. It takes place in Feudal Japan and revolves around two fellow ninjas from the Takeda clan, who have also been best friends since childhood. One of the two, Marou, begins acting strangely and just ups and disappears one night. That same night, the clan's leader is brutally murdered by a demon from Hell; a yōma. Fearing the worst, Marou's friend, Hikage, is ordered to track down the former and kill him before he can spread the word about the death of their leader to the clan's enemies.It seems like a simple enough mission, but Hikage worries more for Marou than he lets on, and sinister forces from Hell are about to make themselves known to the blood-soaked land that is Japan.The manga was later adapted into a two-episode OVA, which was aired on Encore's short-lived anime block in the states. It was also the first anime to be dubbed at ADV Films' Austin-based recording studio Monster Island. |

Mr. Fanservice: Both Hikage and Marou are pretty good looking, but the latter averts this upon his transformation into Kikuga no Miko. |

comment |
Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds: Marou, despite having been born a demon, was raised lovingly by the Takeda clan beside Hikage and the two grew to be like brothers. Eventually, his true nature as Kikuga no Miko came to the forefront and caused him to attack his friend and eventually lost control after slaying the woman he loved. When he finally regains some of his humanity after losing the final battle, he falls into hell before his hand can reach Hikage. Thankfully, Kotone, his dead lover, sacrifices her existence so he can be reborn as a human, giving him a second chance. |

The Alcoholic: One of the villagers from the first episode is pretty eager to guzzle down sake whenever he gets a chance and can barely seem to go five minutes without offing Hikage some. Once the truth of the village is uncovered it might also count as an example of him Drowning His Sorrows as well. |

Ragtag Bunch of Misfits: According to Aya, all the villagers are these, herself included. No one knows where they came from or what they were doing before they came to live there. Later it's revealed that the old bonze was erasing their memories in order to bring in enough prey for Kikuga no Miko to fully awaken. Upon the yōma's death, Aya and the others regain their memories and all of them die. |

Deliberate Values Dissonance : A charitable interpretation of how the anime decides to treats it's female characters, particularly in the second half of the OVA. The heroine of the second episode being a Faux Action Girl could be seen as a product of the era for example and even the main protagonist himself displays some casual sexism towards her at a few points: |

I Lied: Marou to Katsuyori, promising the latter to lend him the yōma's power to win against the Oda clan. To be fair, it may be that the reason he didn't help was that Kazami failed in killing Hikage. |

| | Blood Reign: Curse of the Yoma (Manga) / int_c6538cc6 |
comment |
The Dulcinea Effect: A weird sort of gender inversion of the trope happens in the second episode of the OVA. Despite only having met Hikage about a day ago and generally being treated coldly by him Aya #2 is completely willing to die for him and straight up tells him to kill her if he plans on leaving as she can't bear to live without him. |

Tragic Monster: Marou, besides betraying his good friend Hikage, who was like a brother to him, also killed his lover, Kotone. He told her to run away after he lost control of himself, but ended up slashing her heart, killing her instantly. |

Laser-Guided Amnesia: The old man uses his powers to erase the villagers' memories in order to lure them in so that he and Ito can bring enough sacrifices to have Marou fully become Kikuga. What's worse, the old demon actually thought that the villagers were grateful to him for erasing their bad past. Considering they all kill themselves in the end, he may not have been too far off. |

Beauty Is Never Tarnished: Very much averted. In fact, the female characters generally suffer much worse scaring than the men do. Hikage got hit in the eye with a poison shuriken and it barely left a mark at all while two of the female characters have some large facial scars and a third woman has a nasty slash mark on her chest as a result of being violently cut down with a sword. |
