This episode of the Skull Man starts off with Kiriko staking out Byakureiki, while Hayato is listening to the tape that he obtained in the previous episode of The Skull Man. I thought that the scene where Kuroshio and other high ranking officials of Ootormo City was interesting, as Kumashiro Masaki was listening in on the meeting an conversation, while having a look at the book entitled Thus Spoke Zarathustra.

I thought that the scene where the Skull Man is dressing from his civilian identity to the Skeleton Man was interesting, as it’s the first time in the series that the viewer has seen the Skeleton Man change. While Hayato and Kiriko are on the road, I thought it was interesting seeing a slight change in Kiriko’s character, before Hayato informs Kiriko informs Kiriko that before Usami died, he said that Kagura Tatsuo is still alive, before almost getting run off the road.

I thought that the scene where the Skull Man kills the mayor (Kusaka) and his assistant and shots Hayato in the arm was really atmospheric, and how shows simple and effective the Skull Man is when killing anybody. After Hayato survives his run in with the Skull Man, I thought the episode got interesting, as the police officer that is meant to look after Hayato, is told to leave him alone after he has gone to the hospital.

After the political elements are dealt with after the Mayor death, the episode focus on Byakureiki, with Hayato and Kiriko going undercover in Byakureiki, got get some more information about this organization. This episode reveals that person in charge of Byakureiki is Sara, who was once Tatsuyuki’s wife. However Sara is now married to Kuroshio Gouzou.

Overall, I thought that this episode of the Skull Man has a little bit of everything to make this episode very intriguing and interesting. Hopefully it won’t be to long before more details about the Skull and Skeleton Man are revealed.
