Umi Monogatari Ep 6

Summary:

The two shrine maidens continues their search for Urin, while in the mean time the eclipse lasts longer than usual as the mysterious rare butterflies flock the island and another servant that serves Sedna appears.
Marin suffers due to the darkness and had become vulnerable, causing her to bring out the dark side of her mind thanks to the Eclispse.

Unfortunitely, as they search for Urin, she had already been completely possesed by Sedna, the ring had disolved and sunk into her skin, the accesory which Sedna has secretly hid herself in and revealed a mysterious tatoo where the ring once was and disappears with the butterflies.

Back with Marin and Kanon, when all that was happening; the sea maiden admits that she is scared of the darkness, which hides the beautiful sky, the sea...everything. When things couldn't get worse as it has come so far, the servant appears before them. Marin who is still not acting like herself, declares that the servant is unforgivable and that she will seal her imeaditely - only her powers did not work and she should not transform. Kanon quickly tells her that they got to run away.

The two of them run to the cliff where that singing person is who gives them advice when she sings (I think) and helps Marin step back into the light and cause both hers and Kanon's powers to activate, and the two of them transform - only when they look to see the singer she is no where to be seen, but is actually watching over them.

Eventually they reunite with Urin: Kanon notices instantly that the ring is no where to be seen, as for the others, they don't pick up any suspicion of Urin not being herself.
Later while eating their meal, Marin confesses to Matsumoto that she could not use her powers at one point. Shortly after that, the elder turtle asks Urin what happened to the ring. She replies that she lost it, Kanon acts it out saying it's not big deal since she threw it in the sea once. When Urin leaves the table, Kanon notices a strange tatoo look on Urin's finger where the ring once was.

The turtle and Marin discuss about the eclipse and what happened, the turtle tells her that Urin should return to the sea where Sam and Warin can take her of her. Marin imeaditely protests, not wanting to be seperated from Urin.

In the evening, the butterflies arrive at Kanon's house and the servants appears through the door where Urin is waiting for her, where she speaks with the servant and takes back the power asking who she is (the servant) who'd go as far as reject and not use the power of darkness. Before the servant can answer, Urin takes back the powers and reveals that the servant was a sea turtle. Just seconds after that, Marin and Kanon come hurrying over to what happened. Urin declares she going back to the sea, and that she despises the sky beings, specifically Kanon and leaves. Marin chases after her only to see her gone, no where to be seen.
With that, Urin returns to the sea saying, "Goodbye"

Impression:

I was rather confused why Kanon couldn't just battle the servant anyways, but whatever - that's just how it played out.
I was actually glad that is was Kanon who noticed how out of character Urin was acting, and realized that there was a strange tattoo on her finger where the ring once was.
Another thing we were able to learn that creatures that get possessed or recieve Sedna's powers have the choice depending on their will power (I guess) to use her powers or not.
I was actually disappointed that the servant had to turn back to her orignal form (she was cute).

Overall I think this episode was pretty good, but I'm looking forward for next week's since it looks like there's be alot more things going on.

I have to admit it, but it was somewhat ironic that Urin was going to be possessed by Sedna, and fall into her hands - and will probably be the key to reviving her or whatever supposed to happen.

Lastly, that one person, whoever that *points to image* freaking character is, indeed she had caught my attention for the last few episodes, but now I can't help but wonder, "What the hell is she?". Clearly she given the two girls advice, and help Marin to step back into the light. Anways, I'm not sure how big this character's role is, but here's a fact we recieved this episode: SHE IS NOT NORMAL.
