Kara no Kyoukai movie 7 recap

Kara no Kyoukai: The Garden of Sinners - A Study in Murder - Part 2 box cover art

Febuary 1999 - Murder Speculation Part 2 -


Starts off wth a lot of pointless small talk... Then finally we get to some plot. Shiki and Mikiya pass by a TV showing something about the homicidal maniac on the news who is at his 10th murder so far... s this the same string of murders from movie 2 I wonder? They are both working for Toko now at this point. Shiki says this guy isn't really a killer, because none of these killings have any reason for them... She says that you can only kill once in your lifetime.

Shiki asks Kokuto to sleep with her.. the next day...

Toko:
What happened now and 4 years ago... Do you think it's Shiki?
Kokuto admits that Shiki doesn't have any alibis... but he still believes that Shiki couldn't have done it. Toko explains that since SHIKI is no longer inside Shiki, that personality called murder is no longer inside her...

Just then, Kokuto sees on the news that another murder happened. he tries calling Shiki and going to her apartment, and can't find her... He runs back to that bamboo forest place where he saw Shiki at the crime scene 4 years ago, gets flashbacks of her empty eyes and weird smile...

Then it goes to another flashback from movie 2 in that same area, where Shiki is about to kill Kokuto.. it shows more of that scene... suddenly Araya pops in out of nowhere and starts fighting Shiki.
You can't kill me? Appropriate if you're trying to survive. But you're trying to kill so you can run away. Do not lower your own value... You belong to one person. Live as one, and conclude as one. The spiral of conflict is the appropriate end for you.
Shiki notices something, like she's snapping out of a trance and switching personalities again.. She starts crying and running away, and Kokuto runs after her.. he eventually catches up and grabs her arm, and Shiki looks really sad and confused... then she runs away again and jumps in front of a car, probably to save Kokuto..

back to the present I guess... it's not being clear at all this time, not even showing the dates when it jumps around... Shiki is walking by herself in the rain, thinking about stuff... goes to take a shower, remembers the guy from movie 6 saying
I came to this country because Souren Araya requested that I return

Gakuen Alice high session 4

Episode 16 - Win in the Maze. The Magic Lamp
The Alice Festival finally starts... it takes a while for the special class's "Aladdin and the Magic Lamp" RPG attraction gets any customers.. Narumi, Luca, and Sumire are the first ones to come and try it. Luca and Sumire are dressed as the March Hare and the Cheshire Cat... Luca is just entranced by Mikan's cuteness in her genie outfit...

Luca loses to the doppleganger girl.. Narumi gets through the raindancing guy easily using his pheremone alice, then runs into Mikan at the goal, who says he can't pass unless he can get her off this flying carpet within 30 seconds without touching her. Dogcat girl runs into the laughing alice guy, and figures out a little too late that she's supposed to use the earplugs she was given..

now there's more and more people showing up at the RPG because of other people who keep replaying it... Natsume shows up to it too, and scares the lineup away while he's there.. Mikan comes out and greets him, and he pulls on her genie top and makes her cry...

it turns out, they made the prize for winning this RPG, that you get to keep someone from the special class as a slave for the day or something... Natsume gets jealous of Tsubasa when Mikan starts crying in his arms.. now he wants to beat this RPG and make Tsubasa his slave.

Natsume's first challenge was a girl who hides inside the mirrors that are placed on the walls.. Natsume was given a special beetle thing, and by holding it, he made it so that girl was holding a reflection of it, that scared her out and let Natsume pass.. The mind-reader kid also got passed the mirror girl by talking about how she has a crush on him...

Natsume got passed the guy with the inanimate object possession alice, by making his real body hot and forcing him to go back into his body... mindreader kid won by embarrassing him as usual.

Natsume made it through another challenge by using flames to write on a high up chalkboard... then he was challenged by his new rival, Tsubasa.. Natsume has to touch him within 30 seconds.. "But being able to move is your first priority... since I've already caught your shadow."

Tsubasa is light Midna/twilight people... Natsume threatens him with fire, even though injuring is against the rules.. but actually what he's doing is using a stronger light source to move his shadow out of Tsubasa's control... he gets to Mikan, while the mindreader is still stuck at the chalkboard...

Natsume tries throwing his cockroach on her, she doesn't care about it. then he starts acting like he's in pain... either he's acting really good or it's real... Mikan isn't sure either, and starts recalling that lesson about the alice levels.. wonders if Natsume is in the level that makes his powers shorten his life span..

At the end, Natsume just had to pick a lamp to get a slave.. he used the mindreader to figure out which one was Tsubasa's. except the mindreader kid assumed he Mikan's lamp instead... "I saw her face in your mind just now, so..."
