Recaplet: Maou Episode 2

I don't know how I lasted the week without peeking at the raw episode 2 of Maou. I did, but barely. The subs were finally released now, and dude, the wait is unbearably long! I can't just sit through a show without the benefit of translation, especially as this jdrama has such an amazing plot.

But then, who needs the plot when there is hotness to distract me! Toma in suit! Toma running! Toma breaking down! Toma just existing!

About two thirds into the episode and the subs got fucked up. Damn damn! I hate soft subs!

Anyway, I'll post pics later but I just want to discuss this episode. Damn, it raised more questions than answers! And the fake out is totally awesome. I didn't see that one coming.

Ohno and his creepy eyes managed to kill another character this episode, without him being present at the scene of the crime. Is he going to pick on Toma's love ones one by one? Will there be enough to last until the last episode? Are we going to see Toma break down every episode?

My question at this point is this (aside from the ones I raised above. heh!): did Ohno changed his name or something? How come no one remembers him when a lot of the secondary characters have prior knowledge of the incident in Toma's past?

And dude, someone is thisclose to falling in love with Ohno! A part of me is screaming: "Oh no, psychic girl, not him! He's a psychopath!" and yet another is like: "Aw, maybe if he falls for you, he would lose the creepy eyes and just go googly eyes on you". But I'm still loving the creepy eyes at this point, so.

Quite as terrifying as the creepy eyes? The creepy smirk. When Ohno's smiling his lips form into this adorable shape but the eyes remain cold as ever. And the red light is present as ever.

And my random comment about Ohno selling his soul to the devil? I think I might be on the right track here, seeing as we have two references to Faust in this episode.

Next episode: Toma in the rain!!! Me flailing all over the place! Thank you, Japan.

I think I need to learn Japanese. Waiting for the subs is just driving me crazy! I don't want to watch a raw version because seeing without having any idea what's being said is plain nuts.



Or maybe I'll just watch for the eye candy.
