YMMV / X-Cross

• Complete Monster: Keiichi Asamiya, Shiyori Mizuno's ex, leads the cult in Ashikari Village. Asamiya's cult practices Human Sacrifice, regularly performing ritual dismemberment of women as living sacrifices, as well as putting the corpses of the sacrifice victims on display when they eventually die. Convincing Aiko Hiuke to take Shiyori to the village, and claiming to want a fresh start with the latter, Asamiya pretends to rescue Shiyori from his cultists and frames Aiko as untrustworthy, then captures Shiyori and prepares her as a sacrifice. Displaying possessiveness towards Shiyori, when Shiyori kicks him in the face, Asamiya grabs an ax, with the intent of starting the ritual immediately, only for Aiko to intervene. With the arrival of Reika, the scorned paramour of one of Aiko's conquests, into the fray, Asamiya ignores the casualties among his cult in favor of keeping a grip on Shiyori. After Shiori and Aiko's rescue by Akira Mononobe, the brother of one of Asamiya's previous victims, Asamiya chases their car, intending to capture Shiyori once again.
• Evil Is Cool: Reika may be a jealous psycho, but she is undeniably a competent fighter with one hell of a screen presence.
• Shocking Moments: The film initially makes it seem like Akira Mononobe is going to be an antagonist. Instead, the true antagonist turns out to be Keiichi Asamiya, Shiyori Mizuno's ex.
