![]() ![]() To be honest, this episode makes me ask the question why other monsters don’t have an easy time figuring out that Somali is a human through smell. How can Somali escape or survive this encounter? It’s not the first life-threatening situation, but it also seems like the most critical one to date. And when she admits to requiring Somali’s blood, I suppose that most people would wonder if it’s a malady that can be cured through a blood transfusion. However, it’s no surprise that people can be so shortsighted when it comes to those that they hold dear. I don’t know how Uzoi plans to get away with this when Golem dad is a formidable entity that can singlehandedly decimate her, as well as Haitora. Whereas the Golem’s aim is to unite Somali with some humans before his demise, which makes it seem like he’s accepting his inevitable fate in some way, Uzoi and Haitora want to fight against destiny – which might entail sacrificing Somali to achieve that end. And crucially, both fathers suffer from life-threatening ailments. They travel around with non-blood related people who they love dearly and consider to be their own father. If it wasn’t already obvious, the parallels between Somali and Uzoi go extremely far. Uzoi’s familiarity with the human scent comes down to the fact that Haitora is actually human – making him the first human being to appear other than Somali so far in this series. ![]() However, these fears are quickly laid to rest. However, we’re faced by a quick scare when Uzoi indicates that she can sniff out Somali’s true heritage. Uzoi even gets into a minor squabble with Somali over a limited cold treat – and it was refreshing to see an individual call out Somali for her bratty behaviour. At first, they seem like mere travelling bird monsters travelling as a pair, not too different from Somali and the Golem. And that’s where our two new characters come in – Uzoi and Haitora, who own a wagon and are familiar with the lay of the treacherous lands. And although the golem is an impressively built specimen with lots of capabilities, there’s no denying that he lacks the expertise to safely cross the desert. A trek across the desert is bound to tire out a little cinnamon bun like Somali. ![]()
