Ninjette: So. I’m gonna buy it, huh?

Demonwolf: Spoiler Alert: like every other human being who has ever lived… you do, in fact, eventually die, Kozue. Surprise.

Ninjette: So. How exactly do I end up dying…? urrp

Demonwolf: I will not tell you that. But I will tell you this: as you would see it now and as you will see it, at the moment of your death… you die well, Kozue.

Ninjette: Huh. That’s nice.

Demonwolf: But long after you are dead, and this city is ashes, and your species extinct, and this planet a graveyard, and every star in its sky has gone dark, and all the universe beyond is lifeless and still… I will carry your memory with me, perfect in every detail, into the next universe.

Demonwolf: And I shall see then exactly as I see you now. Warm and passionate and violent and alluring and misguided and aroused and damaged and alive. From my point of view you will never truly die, Kozue.

So. Having just finished the available webcomic Empowered pages and having a distant memory of reading all of V8, here’s what my opinion on Oyuki’s feelings are:

The abuse from Ninjette’s father only got way worse after the contraceptive Ninjutsu was used, and so she partially resents Ninjette for that, even if she was for it at the time.

Another thing I think she doesn’t like is that Ninjette never tried to usurp her father, or kill him, or make him stop abusing Oyuki, and that she thinks Ninjette has a way better life than her, and strongly resents her for it.

As for why she berated Ninjette after being asked to escape together, it could be for several reasons, but with the above I believe that it’s resentment that had already built up by then, fear, and a little bit of wanting Ninjette to not look back, so to speak, that tipped her finally over the edge.

There’s also the possibility that it’s a bit of the stuff I mentioned above, but that Oyuki sees herself as a good Kaburagi ninja who’s followed the rules but is miserable, and so is very angry at Ninjette and feels betrayed by Ninjette’s absence. 

Plus the fact that it’s quite possible that she was punished extremely harshly both for Ninjette’s escape and the contraceptive spell. The sort of thing that would leave her semi-permanently dissociating, particularly around a trigger that reminds her of the trauma, as Ninjette would in both of the above cases.

Empowered & Ninjette - ready for a runble!
