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

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)

very interesting how the onmyodo techniques are coming back already! like they did technically fight against probably the absolute pinnacle of onmyodo mastery (kami-sama), so i am doubly surprised to see them struggling so much with the new ghost (a B rank at that!).

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?)

Playing by jigokuraku rules, depends on the Tao attributes of the bro (probably water or wood) and the boo. If the boo has restorative Tao (metal or water, respectively), stuffing the tanden back in might power bro up after. If it's the Tao that hinders (metal or earth, respectively), bro is already deader than Jofuku.

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
