Mariko Yashida is actually an astonishingly effective yokai in her own right, the direct descendent of the Oni King himself, yet none ofher highly effective combating abilities would seem to be to become practical against the destructive power of a yokai along with disorder miracle. What collections Mariko besides the yokai residing in the Ikai is that she does not have centuries of festering cynicism as well as temper, allowing her to check out points even more just about and also empathetically. Perhaps her need for peace as well as protection for both the human as well as yokai realm are going to be enough to stop Momiji’s path of destruction.
