Pat is so far the only Aryee to survive the episode, despite his introduction as a corpse. Glad for Fire Candle that he gets to hold on to one of his many friends. How did Kumade identify the rigor mortis though? I can't even see the Aryee's skin.

I was looking forward to this episode, since murder mystery plots are great for audience participation. The culprit becomes clearer as Sumino gathers the evidence, but even by the accusation, I still hadn't realized it was Bear Devil of all people. He's so small that I forgot he was present. Ryugi's hint should've clinched it, since the suspect Kumade was too obvious.

Why is Hoeru so cautious of receiving Kumade's bills anyway? Bear Devil claims that they make a lot of money this way, but we've never actually seen anybody pay them, only tear them.

As if Ryuga wasn't disappointed in his deity, considering his own relationship with his family.

I don't condone how Kumade keeps antagonizing Hoeru, Ryugi and Sumino, so I was definitely rooting for Sumino and Tega Sword to win this fight. But yeah, Tega Sword's insensitive way of talking down to his unwanted son makes me sympathize with Goode Burn, for whom only Kumade has shown kindness and respect, in his own "pray to your god" kind of way.
