I know that but it just seemed a waste of time on screen. They did the torture scene twice, and both times they were long and gratitious providing no real substance to the episode at all.

I'm never sure how to feel about episodes like this. Obviously story focused episodes are better than filler ones and it's nice that Kouga finally has a direct goal, plus I'm a huge urban fantasy fan, but so much of GARO's mythology makes absolutely no sense. Not even on some kind of internal logic. And the whole romance aspect of this series just completely fails. The questions I'm left with, is what is Makai? And what does a Makai Priest got out of said position?

I want a show focused on Taiga, is there one? I know we've only seen small glimpses of him, so it isn't really fair to judge, but from what we've seen he seems like a really great character and I'd love to see more of his adventures as a Makai Knight, training and protecting his son on the side.

Oh and hey look it's the bitch from Nexus, great.

GARO 17.

This was easily the most disturbing episode of GARO yet. It's been a damn while since we had a proper horror focused episode, like the early episodes were, so this was damn refreshing.

There was a cool revelation brought up in this episode to, I've never really thought about the crossover in toku shows before, as we rarely see the heroes do anything other than fight the monster of that week but to have Zaruba strictly tell Kouga not to get involved in human crimes was really interesting.

It goes even further than that, as the Watchdogs explain that Hunting Horrors is Kouga's only goal, not saving humans. But it's been pretty clear since the beginning that the Watchdogs are evil, and then last episode Amon practically spelt it out.

If a creepy dude appears and asks you to come home with him, to draw his pet, why would you go with him?! And then when he tries to kill her...she protects and defends him?! Fuck, Kouga isn't in love with you, because you're as annoying as you are dense.

Man, I love how little CGI there was this week, the hell mermaid, as pathetic and disgusting as it was, looked absolutely amazing.
