Nurarihyon no Mago 127

Psyren fans, I will NOT be doing Psyren in any of the weeks to come so don't PM me about it please. Reason: There's already someone doing it. Another reason: Major, major exams that decide my fate in 24 days and last another 24 (no srsly). Go figure :(

Also, just a shout out. Mago began as a one-shot in the 3rd Gold Future Cup, in which it emerged champion and thus got serialised. Similarly, Beelzebub won the 4th Cup. This year, in the 6th Cup, Kikai Tonchi Banashi: Hanasaka Ikkyuu, emerged as the winner, so go check it out, alright? ;) It's witty, funny, well-drawn, and sports a character that looks uncannily like Ao :P

Anyway, PM & credit as usual ^____^

Aori on left: ☆ At the scene of the final battle, Kyoto's Nijo Castle, Rikuo goes on the offensive against Hagoromo Gitsune, but...!?
Panel 1a: Matoi is
Panel 1b: A technique created by the Second Head of the Nura Clan, Rihan
Panel 1c: Only achievable by those who were half-Youkai like himself
Panel 2a: It is said that there are various techniques associated with "Matoi", the power that comes from the possession of the human part by one's subordinate's fear
Panel 2b: The new power that comes from the master donning the fear of his subordinate and merging it with his own is called "Kasane"
Panel 2c: The technique that mounts the subordinate's fear upon the master's blade and fires it at the enemy with amplified attacking power is called "Izutsu"
Kuro: (Rikuo-sama, you must)
Kuro: (Fire me as an Izutsu)

Rikuo: Here we go
Rikuo: Kuro...!!

11
SFX: Pota pota
Gitsune: (!?)

12
Gitsune: (--- He parried it?)
Gitsune: That's strange...
Gitsune: I was sure I'd pierced your heart...
Gitsune: Evading my attack like a slippery eel... (TN: Gitsune uses "Nurari kurari" meaning "as slippery as an eel", which is where Nurarihyon, a real youkai in Japanese folklore, gets his name from)
Gitsune: Even though I told you I was going to drink your blood and devour your liver
Kuro: Rikuo-sama!!
Kuro: (Damn it, we failed...!!)
Yura: Nura-kun!!
Yura: Mamiru-kun, here I go!!

Nurarihyon: Fnn....
Nurarihyon: I wanted to confirm it

16
Nurarihyon: Just as I thought, that face
Nurarihyon: It has matured some, but it's still a "familiar face"
Nurarihyon: There is someone pulling the strings
Nurarihyon: Behind the revival of Hagoromo Gitsune...
Kappa: ...
Kappa: Eh?
Gyuuki: Supreme Commander
Gyuuki: So this is where you were
