Like Switchblade said, Kiva was still playing by some older rules.

I can sort of see that (the stakes drastically increase when the two amiable vengeance-seekers get offed), but, like:



The Moth Fangire, like, leaves town to murder one dude? Just some random dude, all alone in the forest? It's so massively disconnected from the Moth Fangire's entire story that it's both hilarious (I laughed at that quick-cut for maybe five minutes) and also completely superfluous. It's one thing to tell a story with darker possibilities and mortal consequences; it's another to just toss in a random murder.

Technically, I guess it's a Whistlestle, which is maybe my favorite toku word ever. From the series that brought you Fangires and Clawolves, it's the Whistlestle.

INOUE FOREVER!
