We’re nonetheless in youkai mode, which is the place we have spent a lot of the season to date (though we get one other detour subsequent week). Aside from just a few transient faculty scenes, this was all of the common youkai forged, with the Canine Circle firmly within the highlight. Episodes that characteristic them are normally not too critical; they’re kind of idiots. And the group was initially composed in order that Nyanko-sensei would nonetheless have somebody to drink with. However there have been just a few loftier moments right here, and an actual surprising twist (which does not precisely develop on bushes on this collection).
First, Natsume sees a white dragon flying across the native mountains. That does not precisely occur on a regular basis Natsume Yuujinchou neither, and he is fairly happy with it. Nyanko-sensei has by no means heard of an area dragon and want to see it for himself (good luck, presumably), however he solely appears to point out himself when Natsume is alone. Throughout one in every of their search missions, they arrive throughout Chobi, who appears to be in fairly a state of misery. His treasured mustache comb, constructed from an enormous seashell, is damaged (and with it his youkai coronary heart).
These wistful Youkai tales are typically marvels of simplicity. However this one is about as unadorned Natsume as Natsume will get. It is only a gentle comedy and it feels prefer it from begin to end. Being the type soul Natsume is, he’s decided to assist Cbobi (Chobi has really all the time been probably the most accountable and useful of the Canine Circle). And Natsume (due to Tanuma-kun’s pearl story) is the inspiration to seek out Chobi a dragon bowl from which he could make a brand new comb. However that is simpler mentioned than carried out in the case of chasing a dragon.
Ultimately, the remainder of the Canine Circle comes to assist, and after many failures, a standard is lastly seen in a tree excessive above a valley. It is fairly an journey to get there, however Natsume insists on doing it herself, regardless that Nyanko-sensei in the end cannot resist doing it. Bowl retrieved Natsume items it to Chobi, who initially appears unimpressed. And for good cause, because it seems – however as quickly as he combs it, he modifies his tune. Yeah, I positively did not see that coming. Chobi, a white dragon, was not on my bingo card. However I like a bit of unpredictability now and again when a collection is as comforting and dependable as this one, so no complaints from me.
