Well Shindou's tattoo didn't just appear, in episode 2 when he visits Machida and goes near the hole then his tattoo becomes visible. The way I see it is that all survivors of Machida have a latent ability to become symbiotes but they must experience a sort of epiphany to awaken. In Shindou's case he awakened in steps while Sakura awakened all in one step.
My take on symbiote birth is that people who got too close to the big hole became 'infected' somehow with Phantoms. But I have no idea what could dictate transforming into another Phantom vs a dormant symbiote. Perhaps the intentions of the Phantom inside? Who knows...however there isn't much show left to resolve this problem so we'll probably be scratching our heads for a while.
The shards are so sharp when you step on them.
Episode 12 - Oyasumi
Only one episode left, and it certainly shows in this one. Truly leaping forward. But there's still a lot to settle and solve in the finale. I hope it'll be an elegant ending. This was a great episode, if highly predictable.

This episode was freaking awesome, I forgot I was making food while watching it. We finally got to see more of the Phantom Hunters as well as learning that they may have more then 1 piece inside of their bodies. We learned that Taoshi is actually a symbiote and not a full demon and that his goal is to wake Shindou's inner demon(the mist coming fromhis mouth had me like oh crap he's bout to go apeshit). Out of the 12 symbiotes we know 11 now(3 Tokko Hunters, Saya, Inukai, Kureha and Rokujou brothers are dead, 2 Phantom Hunters, Tioshi and Inukai sister). Why couldn't this be a 26ep series. Also when he said he's responsible for the incident does that mean that he's the one that opened the box to hell?

Quite a wicked last episode. Talk about open endings... This must have been a record. Well, not really. In a certain sense everything that needed to be told was already told. After this it should be just routine fighting rather than special plot development.
But it was quite a trick performed by Rokujou.
