Not unexpected, but like the execution. Dark and light, yin and yang, the two sides of the Taijitu. Heck, even the clothing was a bit of a giveaway. Will be interesting to see how Shy copes.
Wow that evil face she made when Ai killed her, its so like Speed-o'-Sound Sonic from one punch man!
It would be interesting seeing her attacking the village in that form, imagine all of their reactions.
Mai looked worried when Ai went full attack mode.... maybe there was a small part of her left not yet corrupted? Well too late now.... They look better as a fox spirit anyway
Tamamo-no-Mai: Stabs SHY
SHY: Heh, all according to keikaku.
Tamamo-no-Mai: Impossible! How could you have predicted this?
SHY: Dunno, lady. It ain't my keikaku.
I wouldn't call it an asspull. The swords' powers were introduced long before this, "Hollow" just should have known better than to let this one go.
Besides, she very clearly either pulled the sword out of her chest or the air around her, and not the anal cavity. Definitely not an asspull. No hero would ever stab someone with a shit-coated sword (apart from Sir Kay, but he was always a bit of a weirdo).

I wonder if letting go of the sword, and by extension letting Shy take it, was Ai exerting influence over the fused form... or possibly Mai subconsciously wanting to be stopped.
