Recap / Ge Ge Ge No Kitaro S 6 E 38

---

Tropes:

• Black Comedy Cannibalism: More of Black Comedy to Serve Man for Kasha, as Nezumi-Otoko's business of getting rid of unwanted corpses is played relatively light. Becomes a more straight example and drops the Black Comedy, when Kasha in Kitaro's body is about to eat a corpse.
• Bluff the Impostor: Mana uses this to figure out if the one beside her is Kitaro, by asking what fortune she got at the shrine as she never told Kitaro her fortune.
• "Freaky Friday" Flip: Kasha has the power to switch bodies by grasping the person's hand. He goes through several bodies, being Nezumi-Otoko and Neko-Musume, before deciding to take Kitaro's body. Later after he's returned to his original body, he finds the man who tried to get away with tax fraud and switches with him.
• How Do I Shot Web?: Averted. No one has trouble using the powers of the bodies they've switched into.
• Ineffectual Sympathetic Villain: Kasha is this in his old age at first. However he becomes a Not-So-Harmless Villain after gaining enough yokai power to switch bodies.
• Out-of-Character Alert: Happens several times.
  • Neko-Musume notices something different about "Nezumi-Otoko" and doesn't feel the urge to hunt him like she usually does.
  • Kitaro and Medama-Oyaji are confused by "Neko-Musume"'s firm advances.
• Shipper on Deck: Medama-Oyaji blushes when "Neko-Musume" is being more assertive to Kitaro that day.
• Showing Off the New Body: When Kasha switches to Neko-Musume's body, he is amazed by the agility and fighting prowess.
• Voices Are Not Mental: All of the characters who have swapped bodies uses the bodies' voices instead.
