Huh, a hypnosis story I've actually been interested in seeing: the instigator (in this case, Sazanami) succeeds in hypnotizing the apparent victim (in this case, Ushio), and ends up regretting their success. Worse, they didn't think one second past whatever they wanted to do and can't lift it. I just find such poetic justice incredibly satisfying.
Also:
SFX translation reads:
Cute muffled Ushio noises
Anyone else find this funnier than it has any right to be?
Alanis, killed by an entranced destroyer named Ushio
Added the majo_no_tabitabi copyright. The outfit Mumei is wearing is a reference to it (like the emblem on the cloak being the identification for witches in tabitabi)
