Katanagatari (刀語) 04

I've thought that the main event of this episode is the fight between Shichika and Sabi Hakuhei but instead the audience get a chance to see how beautiful and fearful (?) Shichika's sister, Nanami, is...


Although Nanami is left alone on the island, the Maniwa Corps send three insects ninjas to kidnap her in hope of trying to stop her brother from making any further progress. However, they only realize Nanami is even more frightening than her brother after arrival...


Nanami wastes no time to capture and kill the first insect, mantis, after the fruitless interrogation in which all his nails/weapons are being remove during the torture.


The mantis is considered the strongest among the three in close range combat so the other two, butterfly and bee, are easily KOed as well.

Well, their deaths aren't meaningless as the audience learn that Nanami can copy enemies' fighting styles by observing them just once and is not vulnerable to any poison...


Nanami, the new gravedigger in the cemetery on this island...


Comments: Why Mai Nakahara always voices dark characters? And will we have a chance to see the fight between Shichika and Sabi Hakuhei...
