Crap.

It's about to...

No...

Ugh, that reeks!

I don't believe it, is that...

...the Impure King's heart?

Suguro! Suguro!

Hey! Are you okay?

Suguro!

Crap!

Suguro!

My, what a dramatic turn of events!

The enemy's complete restoration!

The life of a human dear to him in peril!

So, what will you do,

my small youngest brother?

Episode 10: Unbowed and Unbroken

Doctor!

The miasma is too thick!

If this keeps up—

Director Shima!

The miasma is being contained by the flame barrier!

We should move outside and come up with a plan!

We have no choice!

Retreat! All personnel, retreat outside the barrier!

That's the Impure King's... true form?

So the big boss has finally shown himself, huh? Okay, you damn pizza bun!

Even if it kills me, Kinzo Shima will never turn tail and—

You young fool! What good will dying do? Hurry up and run!

Hurry! All personnel escape outside the barrier!

Now, then.

Well, well. How fascinating.

So you're being blessed by Ucchusma...

Mr. Shima?

Are you all right? Get clear.

No, I can still fight.

How do my eyes look to the others?

What happened earlier?

So you have an Agni and I have Karura, eh?

I wonder which will be the stronger.

Let's have a test of strength, shall we?

We're gonna burn you to nothing!

Ucchusma, unleash your wrath! Fire Wheel Chakram!

He absorbed them?

Over here!

Mr. Shima...

Do you remember what I taught you?

In the table of demonic elements,

in the case of two identical elements, the stronger absorbs the weaker.

Plus, Karura's regenerative ability is so effective it's almost unfair.

So in a test of strength, I believe I win.

Karura?

Does this mean he's been possessed by the Phoenix?

I have nothing to gain from you lot.

So I'll obliterate you.

Not only is he absorbing our flames to strengthen himself, he's an upper-level demon!

Shouldn't we withdraw for now? We're at a disadvantage.

Excuse me.

Will you listen to my idea?

What is it? Out with it.

My goodness. Are they holding a planning session now, of all times?

This plan of yours will cost us dearly!

But if this continues—

Minami!

Don't be insolent.

It will cost us either way! We'll go with it!

All right, then.

Narumi and Shishamo, take point!

Right!

Kumagai and Chigusa, focus on reinforcing my flame!

Yes sir!

Let's see if you can help me to learn something after all.

Weren't you listening? Flame attacks are like adding fuel to my fire.

Or... perhaps I should say they're like dessert.

Weasel!

Fireburst Samadhi!

Honestly, how many times do I have to say it before you understand?

Think things through before you act.

Even as a student, you had the bad habit of being short-tempered.

You really should try to fix that.

No, the one who came up with this was four-eyes over there.

What?

A demon and its host must be of equivalent natures.

If it goes on absorbing flame,

as the vessel, Todo's physical body will become unable to contain them...

What's this phenomenon?

...which will trigger an overload.

And if the demon Todo switched to is Karura, the Phoenix,

his damaged bodily tissue will turn to ash!

Oh, I see.

You were trying to make me overheat, were you?

So the lesson here is to avoid overindulging in dessert.

That was a good lesson.

But you really shouldn't underestimate Karura's regenerative ability.

I see!

Rain, eh?

Even if it's immortal,

if your body's reduced to ash and dissolved in water, regenerating will be difficult.

All right, you got me.

I can't believe this...

It worked?

This will only buy us some time.

If we don't immediately split up and store the parts of his body,

he'll eventually regenerate.

Understood.

Chigusa! Kumagai!

Take Minami and the others back to the main group and request backup.

Right!

What about you?

I'll be fine.

Get going!

Are you all right?

I'm fine.

I'll check.

I have a bad feeling about this.

Once Todo's secured, I hope we can get some answers out of him.

Mr. Okumura!

Todo!

Where are you?

Where are you?

Is everyone accounted for?

The level of miasma inside the flame barrier is beyond human tolerance.

That barrier prevented the worst situation, but who could've cast such a high-level spell?

It must have been the master.

It wasn't!

Konekomaru! Renzo!

It wasn't him, Yaozo!

It was Bon who created that barrier!

Bon and Okumura are still inside it!

Th-They're what?

Kamiki and Moriyama are tending to the master on the eastern slope.

Please!

You've got to help them!

All right.

I'll go on ahead and assist Suguro and Okumura.

Very well.

Once we hear what these two have to say, I'll assemble a crack team to go help!

I'll count on you.

Miwa. Shima. You did good.

Come on, I deserve more than a pat on the head! Smother me with your rack!

Suddenly feeling better, huh?

Rin...

Come on, kid, get over it!

Ferns and moss should be potent against a fungal demon.

Nee, start with libby—

I mean, cover the surface of the fungus with liverwort and hornwort!

Next, skeleton fork fern! Horsetail! Adder's tongue!

Hang on. She's really pushing her demon. Can she handle this?

Suguro!

Suguro...

Karura!

Protect me!

As you wish.

I've somehow driven off the Impure King.

But Ryuji, this double spell will drain you quickly. Be aware of this.

Suguro! Are you okay?

What did you do?

I merely siphoned off a portion of the barrier and used it for Ryuji's defense.

For if the caster loses consciousness, all will be lost.

The Impure King is drawn to the life energy of the living, but is vulnerable to fire's properties.

This should keep him at bay for the time being.

- I see, so— - But now...

this barrier might not even last 15 minutes.

Fifteen minutes? Why?

My body is at its limit.

To be honest, I don't know if I'll last 15 minutes.

I guess Koneko and Shima didn't get to the others in time.

I hope everybody's okay.

Of course they are!

Rin!

Kuro!

Stop! Leave it alone!

Kuro!

Dammit!

You son of a...

No way.

After all this, I still can't draw it?

Why can't I do it?

I guess...

...this is it.

While my barrier's still up...

...get out of here.

Run, and evacuate as many people as you can.

Hurry up and go.

Every second counts.

Go!

Hey! What's...

Hang on, what was it called again?

Oh, right!

Kyoto Tower!

I wanna go to the top of Kyoto Tower!

Take me there tomorrow, okay?

You're a local, so you're familiar with it, right?

It's a tower, but it's got a bath house in it! That I've gotta see!

If I invite everyone, will they come?

So it would really suck if Kyoto doesn't make it.

It would suck if everybody wasn't okay.

So let's win this... and head home!

Wh... y?

Why the hell are you interested in Kyoto Tower of all things?

Huh?

I've never gone up that thing in my life! As someone from Kyoto, I'm ashamed to admit it!

Seriously?

Kyoto's full of famous places!

C'mon, what do I know about temples and stuff?

I'm more into trendy spots.

Oh, man...

He's actually terrified, but...

Er, Suguro... sir? Are you okay?

Yeah.

Fine, whatever. To hell with it.

I'll buy into that false bravado of yours.

Since we're friends and all.

Okumura!

I'll believe in you!

Old man....

why did you save me?

What was it about me?

What was I even saved for?

What was I...

saved to do?

Okumura!

Rin!

He drew the sword?

Okumura!
