Kemono Jihen Episode 6 Spoilers
In episode 5, Kabane gets pulled into a secret room while cleaning the floor. When Inugami realizes what has happened, he rushes there to get the boy out. The younger kemonos are introduced to the elusive 5th member of the team, a vampire named Mihai Florescu, who handles all the technical aspects of their work. He has taken a liking to Kabane and nearly calls him a slave a few times.
While out grocery shopping, Kabane runs into Kon and learns that Inari has replaced her with another young kitsune. Kabane, who is still thinking about how easily Mihai bested him in arm wrestling, tells Kon to fight him. After she is defeated, Kon berates herself for being weak. Kabane tries to console her and asks her to come live with him at the agency. However, Kon says she can’t, explaining that she can’t live with Inugami as he is a bakedanuki. Before Kabane leaves, Kon makes him promise that he will return as soon as possible.
Mihai tells Kabane, Shiki, and Akira that they have a new case, and Inugami wants them to handle it. In reality, the narcissistic and perpetually bored vampire has locked Inugami in his old room and is trying to find a new way to entertain himself. The case involves a company named Bugbite Electronic, where several workers have committed suicide. However, that number has suddenly dropped to zero in recent months. Mihai sends the young kemonos to find any information they can.
Shiki turns himself invisible with one of his newfound abilities and infiltrates one of Bugbite’s plants. He discovers that the brains of the workers are being sucked out by three kanonbas, mosquito kemonos, who prefer to feast on human brains, blood, and organs. When Shiki is discovered by one of the kanonbas due to Mihai’s meddling, it triggers a traumatic memory in the Arachne-human hybrid’s mind. In episode 6, Mihai and Inugami might have a confrontation after the latter gets freed. Kabane might have to go inside the Bugbite plant and rescue Shiki.
