Yeah. In a sense Otoha's fight in his compromised human form was a really well thoughtout detail. It showed he was certainly a badass human, but nothing more than a human in the end. The scene where he tried to defend against the fireball was masterful in that sense. It kind of played with the traditional underdog hero moments but ended it with his pretty much total defeat instead of some miraclous powerup and recover.
Yurine's rebirth was also very intresting. It's also kind of nice how this series turns the traditional setting the other way around: Usually you have spirits of the nature that may or may not oppose the destructive human society but in this one the urban city actually creates such spirits and they defend that urban environment (and indeed like Yurine's looks show, they totally look like embodiments of some urban underground style, nothing even remotely representing nature).
I thought for a while the new Yurine was going to kiss Otoha... >_>
