Idk know why but this episode felt like 10 minutes rather than 20...

Goon A: "If we kill her, she'll get cool superpowers!"

Goon B: "Yeah!"

they kill Asa, who then kills them

Seriously, what was the plan here?

Yeah it's a pretty baffling plan from Higashi Village. It seems like they were trying to engineer situations where the twins get murdered so that they could awaken their powers but...why do that? why do it in such a hostile way? you've been generally successful at indoctrinating them, just don't reveal that returning doesn't have a 100% success rate and convince them it's their destiny or w/e, maybe train them a little bit as well.

Higashi's motivations just seem pointlessly evil for the sake of being evil. If the goal was to control two superpowered twins, I feel like there was a much more elegant solution.

At least in Yuru's case it seemed like a plan that might have a chance of working. The problem was they tried to do it while his dad was there. TBF he grew up into a total badass so waiting too long would be a problem too, especially if his dad is accompanying him specifically in case the village tried something like this (he seemed to know what was up).

Come to think of it, maybe the parents are why they didn't try the direct indoctrination approach. Maybe they knew it wouldn't work if the parents were opposed (as most good parents would be).

I think if we're going to get any illumination as to why the Higashi have taken this route, it's going to have to come from the parents. Maybe they were both in the know, or figured something out. Maybe there's some true darkness at the Higashi core. I mean, there's eventually going to need to be something justifying Asa's massacre if we're ever meant to take her seriously as a sympathetic character, right?

This anime sure is willing to explain everything except why trying to murder an entire village was deemed necessary or acceptable.

No, the village (whatever that means) sending assassins after Asa (and her parents?) is not valid. I doubt all adults in that village are involved.

I know I keep repeating this, but it just annoys me so much. The anime clearly wants me to care about/like Gabby, Asa and Jin, but this whole mass murder thing is kind of in the way of that.

The way information is (not) divulged is so unnatural. There's no excuse for Yuru not to ask for more detaila other than forcing suspense. Like, Asa says things related to Higashi village multiple times that should make Yuru question everything, but he just... doesn't. He doesn't inquire further. What's the point of all this exposition by the perpetrators if it brushes past the reason the events in the anime even started.
