Episode 8: “The Night Flower Hairpin” Looks INTENSE
Set your alarms for Tuesday, May 6, 2025, at 12:00 AM JST because “The Night Flower Hairpin Part 1” is going to be WILD based on the previews!
We’re jumping to spring 1854, and the rumors coming from Yoshiwara’s red-light district are NIGHTMARE FUEL. A grotesque female demon murdering men beneath night-blooming cherry blossoms? The AESTHETICS of this show continue to be unmatched!
This episode introduces us to Yotaka, who’s supposedly going to become one of Jinya’s closest allies moving forward (manga readers in my Discord are FREAKING OUT about this character’s introduction). Yotaka hires Jinya to investigate, and the preview shots of Jinya encountering this scarred demon wailing under the sakura trees are giving me goosebumps.
The entire concept of this discarded courtesan transformed into a demon is so tragically beautiful and perfectly aligned with the show’s themes about humanity’s darker side. I’m already preparing emotionally for Jinya using Yorai to slay her – these scenes always leave me an emotional wreck for DAYS.
