The question of the Minus Wave will indeed be discussed! ANd that's all I will say.
Re Gojyo and his freak-out over Hakkai's choice of dinner that afternoon: I got the impression that it had never been common for youkai to eat human beings in recent times, until the Minus Wave came through. There was the whole "Shangri-La, where humans and youkai live in harmony." For Gojyo, eating of humans belongs to the barbaric past and the recent horrific past, but definitely not in the day-to-day reality of his family and friends. Remember that the Centipede King was regarded with horror by both human and youkai.
