There is something oddly cathartic realising that Jurota's blood runs through almost everyone in the story. How blood is only as thick as you make it out to be, and family comes in all shapes and sizes. At the same time, I think there's something even more curious about the dichotomy of the two main 'antagonists' of the story. Yasaka/Madara-Hebi is a serpent who's bestial nature belies a starkly humane side, while Tsubaki is a mere human who's soul probably is closer to that of a heartless yokai. It's interesting, to say the least.
