I think the title in the preview ends with a negative (I’m familiar with 〜じゃあるまいし, which is definitely a negative, but I don’t think I’ve encountered 〜まいし by itself before). It doesn’t invalidate your speculation, though.

i might be wrong but the preview reads my mother is immoral i think his mother died while pregnant with him but became a shikabane so that kind of makes him half human half shikabane.

If the cat is Ouri’s mother, she’s sure showing the love in an odd way. ^_^;;

I think we’ll have to wait and see to learn whether Ouri is pure human or not …

I got thrown off guard with this one. Some things I saw coming and alot I didn’t. I’m with you on Mizuki though. You think that could be his mother watching over him? Also, is Ouri dead or alive? So many questions….

I tend to take the cat at its own word that it really is Ouri himself, interpreted to mean that it’s an external manifestation of Ouri’s own subconscious memories.

Wow, I didn’t expect that, actually. Always just thought that the cat was a shikabane protecting Ouri, and because of it he became more and more conscious of them.

About what Hokuto was doing: it now occurs to me that Hokuto may have been trying to learn more about herself.

While I was sure that Ouri was closely related to shikabane, it was a surprise that he would be a child of one. (Reproduction by a shikabane: how is a shikabane supposed to be a dead thing again?)

Ouri still seems to be in the “Kougonshuu has much more experience and knows better” phase despite his reservations, though I think this might start changing pretty quickly after the revelation this episode.

Thanks for the summary of Shikabane Hime Kuro episode 7. I watched the show but knew very little of what was going on. Its not subbed yet, I could tell of certain things happening. Like the happiness monster hurting people, but unable to understand private conversations in Japanese. After season 2 or Kuro (black) It was blatantly obvious Ouri was a child of a Shikabane. I am sad that Nozomi’s going to die, and not because she was boobieful!:P She just seemed to help balance out Ouri’s realistic human life with his fantasy life. I think ying and yang are used a lot on this show. Most of the time its a man monk and a woman shikabane. For Ouri and his cat, Ouri himself is his human side and the cat holds on to his shikabane side. I think for Ouri to be a better monk maybe the cat will have to go or evolve. He will eventually break boundaries he is always pushing for Makina’s justice he believes they all should have freedom.
