Nah, I don't think so. I think Mayuri is more reacting to the fact that Gonza did something nice for her. I don't think the bowl is enchanted beyond the ink fish.

As much as I want it to happen, it doesn't look like there will be any appearances by characters from the older series/movies. They probably won't even mention them.

Generally I prefer a franchise to be world-building and constantly referencing old events, places and persons, but I guess they opted to be entirely new-viewer friendly and just tease long-time Garo fans.

This episode was rather refreshing in the sense that the slab Horror was for lack of better words, swatted like a fly off screen and put more attention on Gonza. Gonza is a really good character.

He's served the Saejima family for 3 generations, so he has a lot of experience dealing with the Makai, be it the bearers of the Title of GARO, their guests who range from Makai Knights to Makai Priests, but he can't seem to handle the Watchdogs' messengers? That was rather funny, especially Raiga's reaction to the appearance of the little guy. What kind of demon is he suppose to be homage to? If anything, I think I'll just call him the Skull Kid, creepy enough to be him if he spooks Gonza.

I don't remember if they've said its name before, but the little messenger thing is called Meme (pronounced mei-mei).

You don't have to do an obvious reference to do a reference, and in this season we've had a lot of references to previous seasons.

It's like in Tougen no fue, when Rekka and Jabi use techniques of Rei and Tsubasa. They don't say their names, but there is no need to say them, the reference is there.

Really good episode and you can see why is Gonza trying his best to make every single moment for Raiga and Mayuri a nice moment. He served 3 generations but he also lost 2 masters and looks like he knows that eventually something is going to happen to Raiga and Mayuri too so he is trying his best to make them happy....

I disagree. They've been referencing them frequently. Also, I doubt the writers would have introduced the idea of Kaoru and Kouga mysteriously disappearing unless they planned to do something with it.

Since the gift was from a famous Makai Priest who was a friend of Kouga's, I doubt it was Anna, a character we've never seen before. It could almost be any of the others from past series, although Leo and Jabi are probably the most well-known. It could also possibly be Rekka, although she's slightly less likely to be considered as famous as Leo or Jabi since those two were specifically mentioned as well-known when they were introduced, IIRC. (Leo definitely was, Jabi, I'm not quite so sure about)
