As the unwieldy title suggests, Yuki's older-by-a-decade brother is a messed-up man who transforms into a snake. On the one hand, he's handsome and charming (voiced flamboyantly by Christopher Sabat). On the other, he has no boundaries, not only telling embarrassing stories but crawling into Tohru's clothes to keep warm when he's in his snake form. (The first time without warning her!) Ayame mostly ignored Yuki when they were growing up, so he now wants to make amends, but his personality grates on Yuki. Note that there's plenty of Ayame/Shigure fodder here, as well as Ayame/Hatori, now and in their high school days. But I wouldn't exactly call this "the adult's [or adults'] episode."
