The Blue Hollyhock Dawns

The Demon Prince of Momochi House Episode 11 begins with Himari delving into Aoi’s memories. He takes her back to his childhood and shows her his father and ill mother. They witness his relationship with his mother and several siblings. Unfortunately, one day his mother passes away, and his siblings disappear as well.

His dad gets him a new mom who he seems to be getting along with, but soon enough he begins to see strange things around the house and his new mother. This causes problems for his new mother as she has no clue about it. She became increasingly hostile towards Aoi.

He then tells Himari about how he met Nachi Sensei. Nachi Sensei persuaded him to leave home. Returning home, Aoi saw that his brother had become an ayakashi because of him.

After Aoi reveals his past, she pledges to return and find him. He turns into a scary figure, claiming he won’t let her leave. She begins to run from him, and suddenly Torii grabs her hand and shows her the exit. Himari leaves the place and reaches the Momochi house.

Himari pleads with Nachi to let Aoi and the others go, but he refuses. Himari appreciates Aoi and criticizes Nachi. Angered, Nachi throws an attack, but Aoi breaks free and protects her. He then transforms into the Nue form.

Nue attacks Nachi, and Nachi retaliates by summoning his shikigami. Aoi sets Ise and Yukari. Together they fight Nachi’s shikigami. Nachi loses control and gets overpowered by the Oni. It begins to rain fire which can destroy the Momochi house.

Nue decides to purge him without a trace, but Himari rushes to beg Nachi to give it up. She successfully convinces him to give up and saves him. Himari faints from the blowback of the curse, but Aoi kisses her and sucks out the poison. Nachi stumbles away from the house, leaving his staff there.

The Episode Review

In The Demon Prince of Momochi House Episode 11, Aoi’s childhood is revealed, and the mystery of how he landed in the Momochi House is also solved. In one of the previous episodes, it was revealed that someone still remembers Aoi from the real world, and in this episode, it is revealed to be Nachi Sensei, which makes a lot of sense.

There has been a recurring theme with how problems are resolved in the season. It’s usually just Aoi being pushed to the edge, but Himari making peace with the antagonist before Aoi can purge them. While this is a good way to deal with problems, the season lacks diversity in how situations are tackled.
