A brief recap of Toilet-Bound Hanako-kun season 2 episode 16

Toilet-Bound Hanako-kun season 2 episode 16, titled Sumire, begins with Nene seeing a memory of the Sixth Wonder and a girl who resembles Aoi. She wakes up with Hanako in a strange village. Mistaken for evil spirits, the two are captured by masked villagers, but a woman named Sumire takes them in. She claims they're cute and brings them to her home, revealing that the next day is her wedding.

Although Nene and Hanako try to escape, a barrier prevents them. Sumire tells them that running will only lead to recapture and insists they stay. She also names Hanako "Gon," since he hasn’t introduced himself.

Later, Hanako uses his Haku-joudai to investigate and confirms they’re still inside Sixth’s Boundary. However, this one feels strangely like the living world; there’s no water on the ground either. They suspect it's either intended or due to its master’s memories. He warns Nene that Sumire might be one of Sixth’s minions and warns her to be cautious.

While bathing, Sumire opens up to Nene. She believes they’re alike, both in love with someone not of this world. Sumire reveals she’s marrying a deathless demon, and shows Nene the mask he wears. Nene realizes that Sumire is actually marrying the Sixth Wonder. She also sees the Yorishiro (the object most precious to a Wonder) talisman on her neck.

Sumire confirms that she’s Sixth’s Yorishiro. Sumire thinks Nene is also a priestess like herself who can destroy Yorishiros. But she asks Nene to wait until after the wedding. Nene promises to keep it from Hanako and receives a matching protective bracelet from Sumire.

Regardless, Nene debates whether to tell Hanako the truth but decides to wait, fearing he’d want to destroy the Yorishiro immediately. The next day, villagers mistake her for Sumire and begin preparing her for the ceremony. Nene tries to explain, but it's no use. From a distance, Sumire watches and apologizes; it's revealed she knocked Hanako out to keep him away.

Nene learns the "wedding" is actually a sacrificial ritual, meant to protect the village by sending the bride to the far shore. She’s forced to drink an elixir that dulls fear. She enters a trance and sees Sumire’s past with the Sixth, who never returned her affections. Apparently, she’s also from the Akane family and is an "oracle," which the Sixth mentioned.

As Nene is led to the cliff for the sacrifice, her bracelet sparks and wakes her from the trance. The gate to the far shore rejects her, leading the villagers to believe she's a fake. But they try to sacrifice her anyway. Just then, one of the villagers captures her. He turns out to be Hanako in disguise. He rescues her, apologizes for being late, and is ready to crash the ritual, and the episode ends there with his timely rescue.

In a post-credit scene, Akane and Aoi reach another part of the Boundary. He wants to take her out of there, but being injured, Akane collapses. Aoi tells him to rest, promising she’s not going anywhere.

With the reveal that Sumire is the "oracle" the Sixth mentioned and a member of the Akane family, Toilet-Bound Hanako-kun season 2 episode 17 is likely to reveal more about her true identity and her ties to the Sixth. It’s also clear that she has a connection to Aoi. Viewers may get deeper insight into her past, the village, and the reasons behind framing Nene as the bride.

Now that Nene’s been exposed and Hanako has stepped in, Sumire’s plan fell apart. The upcoming episode may show how she reacts. Toilet-Bound Hanako-kun season 2 episode 17 will likely also shift to Akane and Aoi, who are trapped in another side of the Boundary. With Akane injured, the story may explore how he plans to get Aoi to safety.
