Foreshadowing? Does this mean Stray Dog is next on Jei's possession list? He is pure of heart -- the work he does he does for the orphanage...and not for greed like Gen.

Seems the most logical choice, I'd say. Then again, Jei doesn't really hold with logic...

Since this issue isn't listed among Dark Horse's October solicits, it looks like we'll have to wait until November for this issue.

WHAT, WHAT, WHAT! Ok for the most part Gen seems greedy... but I remember a story called "The Tea Cup" (pre Stray Dog I believe) where we see how soft-hearted he truly is.

Either Stray Dog or Priest Sanshobo (or one of his co-priests). Thing is, I think one has to be near-death in order for the re-possession to take place. Jei can't just float from one body to the next freely. But who knows...can Jei even be exorcised?? The synopses suggest this, but knowing Stan he never gives things away in synopses...it's the previews that can be dangerous at times!

Dark Horse's synopsis for UY 107 says "Plagued by dark visions of the demon Jei, Priest Senzo creates an uproar in the temple when his terrifying dreams intensify. Elsewhere, the hunt for Inazuma, killer of Boss Bakuchi's son, reaches a tipping point. A group of bounty hunters have cornered her in a peasant's hut, but they aren't the only hunters on Inazuma's trail. Together with Gen and Stray Dog, Usagi finds his way to the hut--yet what the three discover upon arrival defies description!"

Could Senzo be the next host?!?!?

Usagi vs. the Grudge? Now there's a smackdown I'd pay to see.
