Dark Gathering - Ch. 81 - D Temple 1 Seat Of The Soul

[Ignore]

That might've been the scariest eye contact with a ghost I've even seen.

As long as you pretend you didn't make eye contact it's OK....
....in series where ghosts don't surgically extract hearts faster than you can blink.

To think that some ghost can even hide from Yayoi's double irises...

The mother was under immense stress during the flashback.
We can see that her hair has gradually turned white. Pure black when meeting the doctor, black and white when meeting with the spiritualist, mostly white before her end, and pure white after.

On another note, Keitaro's comments about letting his guard down really make me think that every time they visit a new rank, he is always the one who suffers the most.
First time in an S-Rank haunted spot, he gets separated from Yayoi and meets the full brunt of H Castel's ghost frenzy.
First time in an A-Rank haunted spot, got kidnapped, drowned, and almost became a human spiritual battery.
And now, the first time they are in a B-Rank haunted spot, his spiritual body gets separated from his physical one, and his soul gets taken away.
He really is a tasty delicacy for ghosts.

So the current meta is ghost with omyodo skill to back up their main skillset huh? Guess other Graduate need to step up or they would get powercreep in no time :v

IIRC he was the type that's easily get possessed?

Not even Yayoi could see it??

 

[gamria]

nonetheless, i think this is a much needed segue for yayoi to finally understand the importance of learning onmyodo, since i still felt like that “becoming a spiritualist trainee” arc kinda got bailed out when yayoi + her teacher agreed that she should continue capturing ghosts like usual instead of actually mastering the techniques (except for ig the shikigami one in the future?)

Yayoi literally cannot master Onmyoudo because Tai Sui is sapping away all her spare MP. Mamoru gave up teaching her techniques isn't because they don't suit her, but because she cannot use them even if she wanted to.

bro cant use tao anymore he got his tanden removed like its jigokuraku 😂😭 (if anyone knows any other series w/ that tanden stuff pls lmk)

Go out there and find any old Chinese Wuxia or Xianxia genre story, the majority of them will bring up the Tanden/Dantian/丹田 as the core of a martial artist's strength/power. It is one theoretical core to many old fields of research after all, including Chinese Alchemy that Jigokuraku involved so much of

It's more like his spiritual power is so enticing to them that ghosts and spirits will do anything to get him.

The spirit is actively hiding its presence with onmyou hand signs. There is a close up of the "Monkey" part's hands and they are doing those gestures.

oh my god i completely forgot about her trade off mb 💀 thats what happens when u binge it in a few days or so (love this manga so far tho)

also damn yea i felt like a tourist for that entire onmyodo fight with kami sama 😂 time to cultivate ig

 

[Onimeno]

Really nice twist of the story to show that Yayoi is not all mighty. Also, poor Keitaro always gets dragged into the worst parts. It would be cool if he learned some onmyoudou arts from Seimei.

 

[Viper4lyfe]

Bit confused by something. I don't recall D Temple ever being on Yayoi's list of haunted spots to take on from many chapters ago. Speaking of didn't her list have more places the team as yet to hit than only 5 by of the Kyoto arc? So why only go after just 5 locations?

she only has a month, she decided these five are the ones she can safely take in that time and give her the strength required to overcome the trial

 

[Strela]

It's always the B ranks, at this point S-rank locations sounds safer. Also I'm surprised Keitarou/Abe's Shinigami didn't automatically appear here, considering Yayoi said that the ghost could use spiritual technique, could it be the Shinigami got disabled with some spiritual technique?

forgot about that time limit

You mean the Shikigami. Seimei took the Shikigami back after the end of the Kyoto arc, they are no longer on Keitaro's person. Keitaro definitely needs a replacement shikigami of equal strength or he needs to learn onmyou arts himself before the big fight in Tai's vision IMHO.

 

[Viper4lyfe]

Honestly, that's a big surprise for a B rank spot. I assume that the fact that the ghost seems to pick out the targets one by one means that the people can escape if they sacrifice one of their own.

seems to only go after males and steal their soul

 

[Viper4lyfe]

Anyone know if Yayoi ever got the soul extracting gloves from Tamamura? Cause maybe that might come in handy for this arc.

...the gloves were a scam? pulling out the soul was all in the gesture not the gloves themselves

but yes she did learn how to do it from him

oh so that is why she punched him in the balls. i thought it meant he was kidding when he said the gloves aren't what does it.
