Anime Sightings Old and New - Yaiba

[wc2bmalin]

Yaiba - alternately known as Kenyuu Densetsu Yaiba - is the tale of a wannabe samurai in present-day Japan (and is not to be confused with Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba). One of Yaiba-kun's companions is a young lady named Sayaka. That poor girl was in for a looong series:

1) episode #3 (around 4:50) - she's roped to the back of a tiger in her pajamas. (The pervy animators added the detail that her ankles were tied together.)

2) episode #7 (around 8:50) - she's wrapped in a spider web.

3) episode #9 (around 15:00) - she has the traditional coil of rope wrapped around her torso and is suspended over the Vat of Doom.

4) episode #17 (around 4:15) - hmmm, I can't read my notes, something about she's tied up in a bunch of others.

5) episode #22 (around 18:00) - she's roped to a post.

6) episode #23 (most of episode) - she's roped top and bottom to a stone slab.

7) episode #24 (around 4:45) - her wrists are roped in front (with a bunch of others).

8 ) episode #36 (around 12:30) - for a change some other young woman is clamped to a table.

9) episode #38 (around 14:30) - a "super deformed" version of Sayaka has the traditional torso rope.

10) episode #43 - we get a glimpse of her in the traditional torso rope around 1:45 but there's a better view around 7:15.

11) episode #47 (around 11:45) - she's clamped to a Y-shaped horizontal cross.

Oh yeah, this was made by Gosho Aoyama before Detective Conan.

Indeed, near the end of the final episode we catch a glimpse of Detective Conan playing on a television set!
