Shakugan no Shana II - 14
This was a very intereting episode. There was a lot of info about Pheles shown. Pheles’s actual body was somewhere else it seems. From the looks of it, she’ll do anything to see Johan again and that even means turning on Wilhelmina. I am somewhat worried about how how the creators will pull off the next episodem, since this one was building up for the next.
Yoshida suggests that Pheles come to the festival with everyone. Pheles seems to enjoy it, and it looks as if she can be trusted. We see a short glimpse of Pheles and Johan in the past at a festival. We learn that Pheles found and raised Johan as a child. He then fell in love with her and was willing to become a Mystes in order to stay by her side. I’m guessing he needed to become a Mystes so that he wouldn’t grow old and die. It’s ironic that Yuji was so scared of not living while Johan volunatrily become a Mystes.
After Pheles’s real body arrives she tries to awaken Johan again. This time however, she is piereced by a silver arm. I pray this isn’t the end of Pheles. She has made the show very interesting thus far. I’m also hoping Margery doesn’t go berserk again next episode. We do get antother hint about Konoe at the end though. I just don’t understand what those bracelets are. Who is the butler? I guess we’ll see next episode. Overall, very good building up!
