Blue Seed

This particular episode focuses on Momiji's grandmother, who, despite this look into her secret nightlife, remains nameless. It seems grandma has been living the high life, night-clubbing and *shocker of shockers* having an affair with a real disco king ^_^. Her choice of attire, in my opinion is... in need of serious help.

This omake is a satire on all of the old Godzilla-like films.

This particular Omake deals with man versus nature, or more specifically, god versus nature. We see Susano-oh battle against the sea, trying to gain supremacy over the creatures there by hurling first rocks and then a bomb at them. Also we see him sever the tail of a lizard, which he waters and then runs from when it grows into a huge lizard that decides he would make a good lunch. In this omake, we also see him scale a huge rock, to stand overlooking the valley. And while on top of that rock, an airplane comes along and runs over him... -_-;; hmmm.... It seems like he just can't win in this one. ^_^

Although this Omake is about Sugishita, itcenters around Ryoko for the most part, and her crush on Kunikida and is set to music. Through the course of the Omake we get a glimpse of Ryoko doing different things: firing her gun, cooking, shopping, and standing near Kunikida's desk with a Valentine's Day gift for her boss. She is being watched by Sugishita, and when he realizes she is hesitating, he goes up behind her and gives her a push, forcing her forward so that she has to give Kunikida the present. Sugishita turns away, a sad look on his face.... But it's really hard to feel sorry for him when he has a virtual harem of girls waiting for him in the lobby with Valentine's Day gifts for him.... For those of you who are wondering Valentine's Day in Japan is strictly a male holiday. Women present the men in their life with gifts (usually chocolate) - even their bosses. Women do not receive gifts on Valentine's Day. Their "Valentine's Day" comes in May (?) and is called White Day. This is when men present women with gifts.....

This omake involves entirely around Kunikida's daily ritual of a Japanese breakfast and then a nice soak in his tub... "Oh, what happiness it is to be born Japanese!" - Unless of course, a fly lands in your breakfast and Momiji leaves your tub only half full of hot water. Kunikida's dilemma: fitting his body into a couple of inches of water without freezing to death. -_-;; And of course, silliness ensues...

This is an omake that is devoted entirely to Kome. It is a bittersweet look at her past as she finds an old composition that she wrote centering around a transfer student that comes to her school and whom she develops a crush on; but her feelings go unrequited. The message: The strength of loving someone can crush a rock... It can also crush someone else's love. After she finishes reading her composition and walking down memory lane, it's time to get ready for festival. She sees Yaegashi and Momiji. They are waiting for her, and she focuses for a moment on Yaegashi...

This particular Omake, I have to say, is probably my favorite. In it, Murakumo and Kusanagi go head to head in a game of Mahjong. Murakumo assures Kusanagi that there is "no way that an imperfect fool like you can beat someone as perfect as me." And later, as the game progresses, Murakumo accuses Kusanagi of cheating: "WAIT! I heard a click just then!" and Kusanagi's response: "What!? I didn't hear a thing!!!" Murakumo's comeback: "The perfect ears of my perfect body made it perfectly clear!!!" Kusanagi's rebuttal: "It's perfectly clear that you're a jerk!" = D Kusanagi then applies a little pressure to the other two participants of the game, asking if they heard a click. Murakumo, of course, is prepared. He whips out a Mahjong manual and hands it to Kusanagi, telling him he doesn't know how to play Mahjong. Kusanagi reads the manual and discovers that he DOESN'T know how to play mahjong. This angers him and he decides to beat up the poor bystanders, helped, of course, by Murakumo. Afterwards, Murakumo expresses the thought that he's feeling a little hungry and he offers to buy Kusanagi lunch.

This particular Omake is about Momiji sitting in her room on a rainy day dreaming about Kusanagi. There is a lot of imagery using water: Momiji putting her hands in a sink full of water, Momiji drinking a glass of water, watching the water puddle on the ground. I am sure that there is some symbolism in this somewhere, but I'm not sure what... = ( We see Momiji sitting on the floor, on the bed, curled up in a ball and at the window, writing symbols on the fogged window pain. We see the renewal of all that's green from the rain: the flowers, the plant. We see the rain stop, and Momiji stare dreamily up at a miniature doll of Kusanagi hanging outside her window. So what is the significance of having the teruterubozu look like Kusanagi?? Well, I guess that is left for the viewers interpretation. But somehow, knowing how Momiji feels about Kusanagi, it doesn't surprise me that she would feel that he is her good luck charm. After all, she probably thinks that he hung the moon and the stars as well... Thanks again, Juliet!!!

This Omake is like an episode of the Twilight Zone. Our host, Yoshiki Yaegashi, takes us on a virtual tour of what reality might have been like if Momiji had won the idol contest. But first we take a short detour as Yaegashi accidentally pulls up a computer simulation of Momiji showing off her underwear... The correct simulation takes us on a tour where we stop by and see the members of the TAC watching Momiji on the television at the idol competition. Momiji wins and we see her in various scenarios, but in the end, she gets a job at an anime production studio where she becomes, an anime idol, who looks horrifyingly familiarl!!!!

This Omake consists of several small acts: Act 1 Kunikida and Takeuchi beheading Momiji. Kunikida triumphantly declares, "I did it!" and then is nonplussed when Momiji sprouts spider legs (like an Aragami) and skitters away... Act 2 Momiji and Kusanagi under a cherry tree; it seems that Momiji is trying to tell him that she likes him, but all that seems to be coming out is the name of famous Sumo wrestlers... go figure... Act 3 Kusanagi in a desperate battle with an Aragami. He lunges, stretching his arm out to strike at the feroucious monster, when, lo and behold he misses and his arm doesn't retract. How embarrassing! Act 4: Kunikida's lethal joke. He lets Momiji read it. She dies laughing. He wants to test it on a guinea pig: enter Kusanagi. He dies reading it, and then you find out, it wasn't really necessary to test it, since all the Aragami were put to sleep when Momiji died reading his joke in the first place... Oh, the irony.

If you haven't already guessed by now, this particular Omake is about Kusanagi's naughty hobby of spying on women; the women of the TAC in particular. Word gets around, and Mr. Kunikida comes begging for some pictures, which Kusanagi is more than willing to sell to him. Kunikida is overjoyed, but his sentiments are not shared by the women of the TAC. They have their own way of taking care of men behaving badly....

The group visits the hot springs but their plans go awry when a terrorist plants bombs around their cabin. It's a race against time for the group to disable the bomb and find the terrorist before the hot springs are destroyed

The group finally arrive in San Francisco, but minutes later Moniji gets kidnapped and taken underground. Can the gang save Moniji in time?

Koume and Yaegashi dated during the two years but split up when Yaegashi wanted to take the next step and start a family. Aragami are appearing in Japan again and one attacks the TAC building with Kunikida inside. Momiji works with Matsudaira in the Research Department. Kusanagi has been distant lately to Momiji. After arriving at his apartment, they fall into a compromising position but... he backs out and Momiji runs off. While Kusanagi walks around belittling himself, he meets Valencia, who tells him she understands and is like him. An Aragami attacks Momiji and Sakura while they're in a pool. Koume arrives in a helicopter, then drives it into the main Aragami's mitama. Valencia joins the group in a TAC uniform and head to where the Aragami originated in San Francisco
