“Bound for Bonfire Field”<\/p>\n

<\/center><\/p>\n

What I love about Mushishi<\/I> is that almost every episode is the “best episode yet”. This episode was positively cinematic in its execution and proves once and for all that fire is bad.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Ginko comes across a town that is covered in weeds that are actually a mushi. Against his warnings to the town’s mushishi, Yahagi, the townspeople burn the fields. This gives rise to the dangerous kagebi<\/i> that houses the mushi hidane<\/I>.<\/p>\n

The hidane<\/i> is one of the more sinister mushi in that it has to get all of its sustenance from humans and it tricks them into their graves. A fisherman cold by the banks of a river is going to notice a fire behind him and think “I’ll take advantage of that left over fire”, with coldness overriding common sense in the human mind.
\nLike many of these things, the hidane<\/I> is given rise by the foolhardiness of humans who think that fire is the solution to all of their problems in the first place.
\nI don’t think that the actions of humanity are quite hubristic enough to warrant mushi borne death, but that’s my mistake: I forget that the mushi are just doing what it takes to live because, with the exception of several of the more cunning or bastardy ones, they are creatures of instinct. They have adapted to a situation where they can take advantage of humans. Humans are food, just like, you know, humans eat other things just trying to get by in this world.<\/p>\n

In summary we should stop eating everything. What I mean to say is that a woman who is intent on discovering something can sometimes be wrong and lock away a man who will try to set her right. As long as she can repent from this mistake, then everything will be all right. The Mushishi<\/I> episodes are taking a turn towards triumph over adversity, which is something that I always appreciate.*<\/p>\n
