Keika You continues to fight against the darkness that plagues Tanmoku Ki, and thus, gets closer to understanding the origin of the tragedy that continues to torment Ki to this day. Tanmoku Ki's friendship with Shouken Shinryuu is incredibly sweet, and you can't say they were just friends; these two were boyfriends. Shouken Shinryuu tries hard to give Tanmoku Ki a normal teenage life and encourages him to pursue his own dreams, but he carries a great responsibility, and being a normal young man isn't possible for him. It's very sad to see how such a sweet young man is pressured by his own family to abandon all individuality for his mission as an exorcist, but in return, they don't protect him as an important member of the clan either; it's very unfair. By the way, I again recommend watching this episode through a platform other than YouTube; there are many audio clips with songs that were removed from that site. Also in this episode, we learn the origin of the hair tie that was so important in the previous season.
