Occult Academy episode 7

Maya’s one-piece, fig­ure hug­ging, zettai ryouki out­fit is one of the most annoy­ingly teas­ing out­fits you’ll ever see. Maybe it’s because I’ve become so used to High­school of the Dead shov­ing boobs and ass and naked apron, g-string wear­ing girls at us at every oppor­tun­ity that hav­ing a show with a hot girl and yet clev­erly not show­ing us the good at fre­quent inter­vals is much more frus­trat­ing than I ever thought it could be. Yet I find myself far more inter­ested in Maya than any of the HOTD women because of it. The old strip-tease man­tra of ‘it’s not what you show, it’s what you don’t show, is on full dis­play here. Or not, as the case is.

Oh, and JK is clearly an alien.

First I sup­pose I bet­ter prove that to you read­ers. See this pic­ture of JK in the future? We are lead to believe that this phone shows whatever is pho­to­graphed in the future. Assum­ing this is true, we are look­ing at a pic­ture of one of two things. First is that this is TK and his triplet sons. I believe we can dis­count this the­ory because there is no women on the planet who would be will­ing to have kids with TK. I hold that state­ment to be self-evident. The only per­son who might have a romantic rela­tion­ship with TK is Smile and I have yet to wit­ness any proof that he can procreate.

That leaves us with the clear solu­tion that TK has mul­ti­plied, per­haps as an asexual being. Obvi­ously he’s not human if he can do that, so he must be an alien. That, or he’s a Tengu, but either way he is in league with the aliens.

Here he is, fir­ing his lazers. Clearly an alien. Or a Tengu. Well, clearly not human.

Once you real­ise this fact, the whole rest of the epis­ode starts to sink into place. First he cre­ated the land­ing pads for the ali­ens but clearly under­es­tim­ated the human races thirst for the occult. Hence when he saw his sign on tv he tem­por­ar­ily lost his form as a human and released an energy beam in Smile’s dir­ec­tion, as we can see in the above pic­ture (Smile has super human strength and is fully cap­able of res­ist­ing an energy beam from an alien, even one as power­ful as TK). Real­ising that Maya might dis­cover his secret, TK devised a plan to make it seem like the whole thing was a big joke.

Now I’m still uncer­tain about Smile’s spe­cies but I believe he’s prob­ably some sort of super human who received his powers indir­ectly from ali­ens at one point in his life. This has led to him hav­ing slightly alien DNA, which explains why he has sexual attrac­tion to an alien such as TK. Together they con­vince the father of Maya’s friend (who is prob­ably doing this for exactly the reason he states on screen. Now smokes, mir­rors or dows­ing rods with him) to pull the whole hokey alien stunt to throw Maya and Fumiaki com­pletely off their scent. Now they can land the space­ships in those fields without the fear of being taken out by Maya.

The reason they were in Mikaze’s res­taur­ant in the first place ties in with my the­ory from last week about her devel­op­ing a spe­cial ingredi­ent she puts in her bread to help pre­vent the chil­dren at the academy and Fumiaki from being infec­ted by the immen­ent alien inva­sion. TK has already begun to sus­pect some­thing is up with her, but has unfor­tu­nately gone for the wrong food item. He must have assumed that ‘ser­vice’ was a code word for ‘super spe­cial awe­some sav­ing ingredi­ent’, when it is, in fact, a code word for ‘I’m about to demon­strate what Gain­ax­ing is, please pay close atten­tion’. This is why he star­ted to stock­pile pud­ding, before get­ting side­tracked with the whole alien thing, when he should have payed closer atten­tion to the bread. Oh well, his loss.

There was also a dead cow in this epis­ode. How­ever this clearly has noth­ing to do with the plot. Prob­ably a nat­ural phe­nomenon or some­thing. Yup, clearly just a red herring.
