It never got to me that the avatar part of Kukuri's title meant literally that, that she is just a part of something much bigger and she was/is crazy strong, but it makes sense that would be the only way for a divine being of such proportions to maintain its power in the mortal plane, i like this attention for details.
I love Kiriha, i really do, but i think she oversteps boundaries a little too much, attacking this Kukuri because of such petty reason... it does seem something like she would do, but she forgets that the one who was truly her friend isnt this Kukuri and god's wrath can be terrible... and that it wasn't her that domesticated Kukuri, it was Kanaka, and i doubt they can do the same with this one as she clearly has all her powers in the max.
Kokuyo crying... she has always had such poker-face that it got me completely by surprise.
