W-Wait...

Please.

I beg you, Okumura.

I want you to use the Koma Sword to defeat the Impure King.

I'm all too aware that this is an unreasonable and brazen request to make of you.

But if...

"If you have even the tiniest sliver of charity in your heart, as your father did,

I would like to appeal it.

Thank you for reading this far." Signed, Tatsuma Suguro.

Just like I figured, that letter was a real eye-opener.

But with all due respect to Suguro's father,

it's just conjecture that Rin's flames would effect the Impure King.

We can't allow him to use the Koma Sword based on something so shaky.

Rin. This letter was written to you.

What do you want to do?

I...

Shura. What's the point of asking him that?

I... I want to help.

Rin! Do you have any idea how big of a mess you're in?

The Old Man saved me, too.

So if he says there's a chance I can help, I want to fight!

But in the end, I know that's just a request.

- Then your request is den— - Okay, fine.

"Here it descends, and to him it shall return."

Shura, what are you...?

What am I doing?

He wants to fight, but I can't clear him without knowing the situaion, right?

I'm gonna have him draw it here.

Shura!

Rin flared up and lost control just moments ago!

It would be crazy to give him the Koma Sword now!

If something happens, he'll be executed for sure!

Now look here...

The Vatican was alerted the instant I cast that imprisonment spell!

He's already in a situation where they can execute him at any time for any reason!

It's way too late to chicken out now! Here's the deal.

If the Impure King still exists and has come back to life,

he poses a much bigger threat than Rin right now.

Plus, I know you've seen it plenty of times!

This idiot's flames have been effective against demons before.

It's worth a try.

Rin. Try to draw it.

Huh?

What's wrong?

What are you doing, Rin?

No...

I don't get it!

I can't draw it!

What's going on?

I don't know!

The damn thing won't budge for some reason!

Then I'll draw it for you. Give it here.

I-I can do it myself!

It must be snagged somewhere! Yeah, that's gotta be it!

Rin?

Oh, I get it.

Rin, you're scared, aren't you?

Hey, I can't say I blame you.

I mean, just a while ago, you were psyched over finally being able to control your flames,

but now you feel like you're suddenly back at square one, don't you?

"The next time I draw this sword, what will happen to me?"

"I might lose control again."

"I might actually hurt someone this time."

- I don't— - You know I'm right.

Your confidence is totally shot.

Episode 7: Like a Fire Burning Bright

H-Hey, just wait a minute!

Would that keep me from drawing the sword?

Rin, give back the sword.

Goodness gracious...

Oof...

Guten Abend, you three.

Lord Pheles?

Mephisto? What do you want?

What do I want? Such a rude tone.

My first appearance in ages, and it's in a jail? How disappointing!

And to think that I came all this way to clean up your mess.

Eins, zwei, drei!

Das stärkste Gefängnis.

The most impenetrable prison!

I got a call from Vatican HQ.

As a result of the imprisonment spell being cast, by a majority vote of the Grigori Court of Inquiry,

Rin Okumura has been sentenced to death.

He— W-Wait!

They sure didn't waste any time. Is this for real?

I'm not so bored that I'd come all this way simply to lie.

Yukio. You okay?

But putting down the Impure King is our top priority at the moment.

I do apologize. Would you be a dear and hold this?

Wait, how did you know that? If you're that in the loop, help out!

Who, me?

I couldn't possibly! I can't abide uncleanliness.

Allergies, you see.

My nose is already running!

If the Impure King has been revived, it will grow rapidly,

and when it reaches maturity, Kyoto will become a city of death.

I'm almost back to the field office with Mamushi!

Have as many people as possible waiting for us at the entrance!

Can you see it from there?

Can you see anything, Uwabami?

That's... the Impure King?

I suspect it will take a lot of manpower to defeat the Impure King.

It's nothing fancy, but allow me to give you some equipment as a present.

I do hope that they will prove... helpful to you in some way.

And with that, I shall pray for your success!

Hey, wait!

That bastard.

In any event, let's focus on doing what we can.

You...

I expect that we'll also be sent out against the Impure King.

The field office has issued an emergency muster call!

All able-bodied personnel, go there immediately!

Yes, sir!

It's really frantic out there for some reason.

Do you think something's happened?

Was Mamushi really captured?

Yeah. I heard Juzo brought her back.

Mamushi?

Bon!

Juzo's back!

Mamushi! Juzo!

Thank you... for gathering everyone here.

Everyone... I am the traitor.

But even so, I want you to listen... to what I have to say!

Earlier tonight, Saburota Todo and I

used the Right and Left Eyes we stole...

to revive the Impure King!

The Impure King?

But isn't the Impure King a demon that was defeated back in the Edo Period?

It was kept sealed beneath Kongo-Shinzan in a state of suspended animation.

Quiet down!

As we speak, head priest of Myoda, Tatsuma Suguro, is fighting him on his own!

I beg you, send help to defeat the Impure King!

H-How can you even ask that?

You resurrected him yourself!

- For one thing, what is the Impure King? - Defeat him how?

This isn't the time to be arguing amongst ourselves!

All exorcist teams, as well as security teams 1 and 2 and Deep Keep team 1,

will deploy to subdue the Impure King!

The Impure King is kin to the King of Rot.

All personnel, get vaccinated to counter the miasma!

- Prepare to administer vaccines! - Yes sir!

Mamushi!

M-Master Ryuji!

Your right eye!

I'm sorry.

Save him. Please save the Master!

Bon. I'll take her to the infirmary.

Juzo, what about you?

I'll meet up with team 1 afterwards.

You and the other cram school students go straight to the inn.

Renzo! Koneko! Keep Bon safe!

If anything happens to him, you're dead meat!

Sure thing. We've got it covered.

Forget about me.

Hurry and help the master.

Dummy.

You hurt a girl, Todo!

Bon, it's out of our hands.

You heard what Juzo said. We need to go back to the inn.

Oh, there you are! Come here for a sec!

Ms. Kirigakure!

Because of his little flare-up earlier, Rin's been sentenced to death.

It's the Vatican's decision. It can't be overturned.

And so...

Suguro. I'm giving this to you.

Kurikara!

And this is a letter your father wrote to Rin.

It says that we need Rin's power to defeat the Impure King.

Rin was on board with it.

So, will you guys bust him out?

The only way for Rin to avoid execution is to do something big and heroic.

Take these camo ponchos.

They ought to keep you hidden.

They should let you get into the cell block without being noticed.

Commander Kirigakure! Hurry!

Coming!

You heard him. The Order basically has me on a leash.

I can't defy them openly.

I'm counting on you. I'll let you decide how to handle it.

We have to help Rin, you guys!

Look, I want to help him as much as the next guy,

but doing that means getting on the Vatican's bad side.

B-But if we don't help and never see Rin again, I know we'll all regret it!

The cell block is this way.

Bon!

Suguro, thank you!

Koneko? You're kidding, right?

Miwa!

I have to keep Bon safe.

Besides, I know I'll regret it if I don't.

What the heck, man? You're that scared of Juzo?

- You too, Izumo? - Kamiki!

What's gotten into you guys?

- You're gonna die! - Outta my way, Renzo!

You babies go night-night back to the inn!

Me, I'm gonna go die valiantly as a man of the Myoda!

I don't get it.

All this Myoda and regret stuff... I honestly don't get it.

What a hassle!

Ow!

Did you say something?

No, I thought it was you.

I didn't say anything. It was you!

Quit messing with me!

That was nerve-racking!

You stepped on my foot, Koneko!

Cut me some slack, Shima.

These ponchos are amazing,

but not being able to see each other is a big drawback.

It should be just ahead.

Is that the door?

I am Das stärkste Gefängnis, the impenetrable prison!

I cannot be unlocked from within, yet I open readily from without!

Now, answer me this!

- What's with the schtick? - A demon?

What makes me impenetrable?

Fight me and see for yourselves!

I guess we've got no choice.

The answer is

that if anyone approaches me with hostile intent,

I can freeze them in their tracks!

That is where I get my name!

Oh, no.

Wait. Why didn't anything happen to me?

Because you pose no threat!

You're weak and carry no weapons!

I guess without Nii, I really am powerless.

But...

If Rin dies...

I won't let that happen!

Your door will open from the outside, right?

It will! Though you won't be able to leave.

To help everyone, I have to help Rin!

Where is this place?

No way am I gonna die in a place like this!

I can't die...

Is that really true?

Will you quietly allow yourself to be killed by the Order?

Oh, wait, there's also the option of taking your own life.

Or better yet, die!

I was saved for a reason, so I don't want that to go to waste.

But, maybe...

"The next time I draw this sword, what will happen—"

"I might actually hurt someone this time."

...I really should die?

Do I die without being of use?

I didn't even make up with everybody...

Why was my life even spared?

Old Man, why'd you save me?

Tell me!

Rin!

Shiemi?

Rin!

I'm here to rescue you!

Ms. Kirigakure told us everything!

We'll all help you fight!

So let's get out of here!

Stay away!

What's the matter?

I don't have the confidence to control my flames.

All this time, I thought I could get by on grit alone.

But that's clearly not gonna cut it anymore.

So maybe I...

Maybe I should just die.

Wh...

What are you saying?

Don't ever say that again!

You wouldn't understand.

And you don't need to.

Stop that! Don't laugh it off and push me away!

I... I'm trying to support you!

Just go away! I'm a monster!

Huh? They're not hot.

They're warm!

I'm... so stupid.

I was so focused on my own problems that I never really looked at Rin.

Some friend I am!

Rin...

I'm sorry.

Don't! You'll—

It's not safe!

I'm perfectly safe.

See? Not a single burn on me!

You did that!

So everything will be fine!

A-Aren't you afraid of me?

Not one bit.

R-Really?

Okumura!

You guys all came to rescue me?

I-I wouldn't like it if you died.

I know you're not a threat, so I want to make up with you.

Konekomaru...

Let's get one thing straight: I only came because Ms. Kirigakure said to.

Me? I didn't want to come, so you should thank me!

Y-You guys...

Anyway, thanks!

Suguro... Sir?

My head wasn't on straight when we got into it over my dad.

You're right. At least as far as my dad goes.

If you're gonna fight, you'll need this. Take it.

I-I'm sorry for punching you.

I'll show you the way to Kongo-Shinzan.

Then do whatever the hell you want. I don't care.

Cause I'll be fighting.

Suguro!

Believe in me!

I can't help that I'm Satan's son, but I'll definitely master my flames.

So please... trust me!

I don't give a crap about that!

The reason I'm pissed at you

is because you tried to carry that burden all by yourself!

Because you never said anything to us!

Why should I trust a guy like that?

Am I the only one who thought we were on the same side?

W-Wait, I never meant it like that!

Hang on, that's your reason? That's why you were mad?

That's a new one. Seriously.

Shima...

Suguro...

Okay, I get it now.

In that case, I'll—

Goodness gracious. The stage is set and the cast assembled at last.

And now, I'm going to enjoy the spectacle of this battle to the fullest.

Listen up.

We're headed to Kongo-Shinzan in Raku-Hoku...

...to defeat the Impure King!

I have to prove myself with what I do from now on!

Next Time

Episode 8: From Father to Son

I chose this path of my own free will!

My father and brother have nothing to do with it!
