    I suspect that she suspects, but I am not yet confident she knows. She was making sense of what she thinks she heard him mutter before Anju kept punching her and we never got a conclusion to her thoughts during the fight. Her internal monologue while crying afterwards actually said "Oshtor, are you perhaps..."

    She's going back to confirm, is what I think.

    I also feel that we never got a proper conclusion to Anju deciding "Oshtor, about that question you asked earlier? Yeah, I'm committed to taking my thrown back and the lives required as collateral damage."

    It was left as "Oshtor, I believed in you. Announce me to the world." Nekone to tried to clarrify that she understood what she is signing up for, but Oshtor stopped her from clarifying that, and thus us hearing Anju articulate that.

    It's very cute that Anju is literally powered by her own arrogance, balanced by her good (if naive) intentions.

    She already knows, that was why she got so confused during the battle. The line about "extra pay" is a trademark of Haku's, and he muttered it to himself, not to anyone else, meaning it wasn't performative but habitual. That is also why Kuon was mumbling something about the Akuruka. She couldn't understand why Haku, who is apparently alive, is wearing that. She wouldn't jump all the way to the Akuruka comment if she hadn't already thought that "Oshtor" was just Haku in disguise.

    Assuming that Kuon has fully accepted that the person in front of her then was Haku, why is she surprised that he's wearing the mask in particular?

    Instead of the generic "Why are you pretending to be Oshtor", she seems specifically fixated on "Mask".

    Because the Akuruka chooses its master and also drains them of their life force (like how Oshtor died). Haku had no business wearing it, at least from what she currently knows.

    Kuon uses sex appeal. It was super effective!

    She did inherit her mother's looks.

    I hope the Princess's army make mincemeat out of this disgrace of an Evenkuruga.

    Mikazuchi is such a stupid fucking asshole. He knows it is Haku and not Oshtor, but insists the only way worth fighting is in Akuruturuka form, like it is something to play around with. Even if it was Oshtor, Mikazuchi is still an asshole. It's also two brainless giants bashing into each other repeatedly like oxen. I guess there's some level of losing yourself in that stupid shit, but Kuon stopping them proved for all the bravado of that form, they're still grossly inferior copies of Uitsualnemetia and his progeny.

    The adventures of Haku continues, while the general that didn't seem that important turned out to be the true schemer. I swear it's always the researchers.

    Okay, I did NOT expect to see Eruru again, nor all the lore reveals.

    All this talk about being worthy.. but you'd think that being human would be one of those requirements, and all he did was prove that he knew stuff. Though.. it is true that he doesn't seem to have animal ears.

    The dood might be a human too, but in the end he seems intent on stealing the key, not negotiating to get it.

    Finally got around to finishing this.

    I think this came of pretty evidently as a game adaptation. There's no real tension or choreography to the fights at all and they serve to just move the plot along. Things happen, characters say stuff, they move to new locations, battles happen, (ads get summoned lol), battle resolves, cutscenes of more stuff happens and it repeats.

    While I did like the character designs and all, it was fairly boring to watch. The original show had better characters which pulled them along. Aruru's the most entertaining to watch across both series. Karura's the hottest. Kuon's tail was probably the best bit of False Faces, while Atui more or less carried the first part of Mask of Truth.

    While I have a bit of a soft spot for this, I think it's riding hard on nostalgia and find it difficult to recommend as a standalone anime.
