Okay, well in regards to why Mifune is joining Arachnophobia… Shibusen hunts witches. It trains weapons, all of whom’s eventual goal is to kill a witch and eat their soul to become death scythes. There being 8 already, that means at least 8 witches have been eaten by Shibusen, very likely more.

It is not so much the world that can’t accept witches (heck, take the hat off and you could just disguise yourself…) but Shibusen in particular. He knows that Arachnophobia does not care because the leader is a witch. That said, if he knew more about Arachne’s past (like how the demon weapons were created…) he would not want Angela anywhere NEAR her.

As you can see in the flashback (hey, 28 had some of his past, if you want more it’s not in 29 but wait for later…) witches get hunted and stuff. There’s part of this in ep 2 when you first meet them too, with Alcapone wanting to capture her.

You can’t blame him for not trusting Shibusen. #2 had Black Star on a mission to kill her, he decided not to but Mifune could think that was just a single exception.

Arachnophobia provides protection. In return for helping to protect them, they help him protect Angela. They understand that his protecting her takes priority over them, just as he understands that they would protect themself before her. But they each secondarily look out for each other’s interests.

Mifune’s 12×2 slashes was so cool I jumped from my chair. I’m a sucker for cool moves.

And loli Medusa is… uhh… I can’t tell you right now.

Wait, my friends already label me as a lolicon.

@JLeeson: Damn, you know me too well. I also quickly wrote the summary for episode 29 ‘cos it was all still fresh in my mind. You DID say, after all, that whoever wrote first got to choose what to right, correct?

@Panther: But Mifune can protect Angela on his own!

@21st Century Digital Boy: That was AGES ago. I still need to change the descriptions sometime soon

Mozzie and Whats-his-name LOL. Giriko.

Arachne is hot. Hot. Hot.

Mifune requires the protection of Arachnophobia for Angela because he believes Shibusen’s natural enemies, as they have been doing for all of their history, other than preventing the revival/creation of the Kishin (or new one) is to eliminate witches. Despite her age, Angela is still a witch, hence Mifune’s willingness (albeit weak) to allow Arachnophobia to “protect” Angela and he to become part of their organization.

I foresee that changing in the distant future thanks to something that I cannot spoil.
