Does it hurt, Isuca?
Yes, it hurts very much, Father.
Your arm will heal soon.
Endure it a little longer.
No, it hurts here.
It aches.
The humiliation of being beaten by the Shimazu girl...
It's so painful, so frustrating,
that I want to tear out my own heart.
I won't forgive her for this.
I will defeat you with my own hands, Shimazu Sakuya!

Episode 9: Attack
The Great Shrine at Ise was destroyed?
Motomachi's Itsukushima Shrine,
the Yamate Christian Church, and the Guan Gong Temple in Chinatown were hit, as well.
Doesn't matter if they're Japanese, Western, or Chinese, huh?
The issue is that they're all power spots in Yokohama.
They're aiming to make this town spiritually weaker.
It's her again.
But Sakuya-sama wounded her.
According to the survivors, the attacker was male.
Male?
So it wasn't Isuca?
If he could take out our defensive magic without breaking a sweat,
he's pretty tough.
Who is he?
Hey, Sakuya!
It's a great name, isn't it?
My beloved father gave it to me.
It couldn't be...
What's wrong?
A-Are you trying to kill me?!
Don't talk to me when I'm preparing to shoot!
So what do you want?
I wondered why you left while we were still talking.
No reason.
No reason?
What are you looking at?!
Listen...
What?
This is about Isuca, right?
Don't call her by that name!
S-Sorry.
Why is her true name the same as yours?
I don't know.
But it bothers you, doesn't it?
I'm worried about you!
I'm worried you'll try to release the seal again or something.
Don't carry all this on your own.
I can't say I know everything you're worried about,
but if I can do anything to help-
Shut up!
You don't understand anything!
Sakuya!
That looks so good.
I know, right?
Sakuya, is something wrong?
You don't look so good.
No, it's nothing.
Really? If you say so.
Hey, Asano.
What's up?
Did you find some nice boobs?
Sorry, I'm not in the mood.
Asano?
Are you concerned?
Things just aren't going well.
My sister is like that.
Are people's true names ever the same as someone else's name?
W-Why do you ask?
Oh, I was just wondering.
It's possible.
Really?
Yes.
You choose the name that's most important to you as your true name.
So that's how it works.
Yes.
I wonder who that Isuca really is.
Probably Asahina...
Asahina?
The guard at Yamate Catholic Church is going to be strengthened.
If we lose them, Yokohama will be left spiritually defenceless.
It's our last fortress.
I won't let them take it.
You'll be put on backup this time, Sakuya.
W-Why?!
Because you can't use your divine bow.
Indeed.
If your spiritual energy is taken again, you can't do anything.
I'll be fine with a regular bow.
Can you beat Isuca with that?
The plan is to have Tamako-chan carry out a raid.
We're counting on you, Tamako.
Roger that!
Suseri and Asano-kun will be attacking.
W-Wait a minute.
You're going to put Shinichirou in the front?
If you look at our forces at hand, it's-
You've got to be kidding!
Hey, Sakuya...
I'll do it, then.
This is an order from the head of the Shimazu family.
Calm down!
I have Yashaou. You don't have to-
Do you get what's going on?!
Huh?
Come with me!
You stay here.
Huh?
It's not just that wretched woman.
There's someone who can easily break through the Shimazu guard.
There's no guarantee you'll survive.
W-What are you saying?
You're not part of the Shimazu.
You don't have to go with us.
Don't be stupid!
Why say all this now?
You might die!
Do you understand how I felt when you collapsed in the subway?
I really... I really thought you were dead!
I don't want to feel like that again!
Sakuya...
My mother and father didn't come back.
If that happened again...
I promised you, didn't I?
I said I'd look for your parents with you.
I won't leave your side until we find them, no matter what.
Shinichirou...
I'll be fine.
They got the jump on us.
Look for the enemy.
They should still be nearby.
Welcome.
I was waiting for you.
Look at her arm.
Where's your male friend?
I'm enough for all of you.
Shiro!
Everyone, watch out.
S-Shinichirou!
Caught you.
Let go of Shinichirou!
I'll break it.
What are you going to do to Shinichirou?
What do you think?
Maybe I'll take him back with me.
I've taken a liking to this toy.
Shinichirou!
Hang in there, Shinichirou!
I'm fine.
Thank goodness.
Damn!
She got us.
This means Yokohama has fallen.
Yes?
Is Sakuya in?
And who are you, little girl?
Grandmother!
Huh?!
"Grandmother"?
Grandmother...
Um... Why...
What's wrong with coming to see my granddaughter?
Um, is she really...
Yes, she's the former head of the Shimazu family,
and is currently the respected leader of the clan.
But...
You can't judge her by her looks.
Tamako's so scared, she won't even come out.
Now, then.
I am Shimazu Nami.
I see you've been taking care of my granddaughters.
The Eye of Truth, Asano Shinichirou-dono.
No, I... I'm honoured to meet you!
No need to be so formal.
I wanted to see the man who stole kisses from my granddaughters.
G-Grandmother!
How nice to be young.
What did you really come here for?!
It's your fault, you fool.
I'm the only one who can reseal your divine bow.
I-I'm sorry.
Well, it's not as if I don't understand how you feel,
since we're up against the Asahina.
Asahina...
The Asahina are a clan of Western mages that have been well known in the capital for ages.
They're my father's family.
Great radiant god...
That should do it.
Don't release the seal again.
Assume you'll die next time you do.
Understood.
The only problem left is them.
You said the girl got her arm back?
She's probably a homunculus.
A homunculus?
Made by humans, but not human.
An artificial life form.
She's not human?
It's standard practice for the Asahina family to use homunculi.
If it's the Asahina,
then this entire series of events make sense.
They're the archenemy of the Shimazu, after all.
Archenemy?
Old grudges can't be so easily solved.
Tokiharu coming to the Shimazu may have just been a passing dream.
At any rate,
if the enemy is the Asahina, then this is the entire Shimazu family's problem.
Then you will personally...
Wait!
Leave this to me, Grandmother.
Nee-san...
Please.
Do you want to know the truth that badly?
Yes, at any cost.
There are things you're better off not knowing.
I want to see my mother and father!
Very well.
Leader!
It may be temporary, but the current head is Sakuya.
You can do as you like.
Thank you, Grandmother.
As for the enemy's name...
I hear she called herself Isuca.
Does that name mean anything to you?
No.
Do you need something from me?
Yes, I wanted to speak to you alone.
What is it?
It's about Sakuya.
I hear that she broke the seal after hearing the name "Isuca."
She denied it, but I don't think it's completely unrelated.
There's a reason why Sakuya forgot herself.
And you're the only one who knows.
You're the only one who knows Sakuya's true name.
In short...
Never mind.
A true name must never be known to others, after all.
Do you want to stay with Sakuya?
Huh?
You haven't had your life threatened just once or twice.
Well, yes...
If you're with Sakuya, you won't be able to separate yourself from fights like these.
Do you still want to be with Sakuya, even knowing that?
If you wish to return to your former life,
I can ask the Asahina and other mages to never interfere with you again.
But only on the condition that you would have no further involvement with Sakuya.
I know my answer.
You're like Tokiharu.
Tokiharu?
Sakuya's father.
I had entrusted my dreams to him.
When Sakuya said she wanted to leave the house,
it was as if we wanted to get rid of her.
I didn't know what to do.
But it was better than letting her stay in Kamakura.
I now truly believe this was the best decision.
Yes.
Take care of her, Mr. Husband.
W-What are you saying?!
I got you, Shimazu Nami!
Grandmother!
This is terrible.
W-Why...
Thank you.
I finally got my revenge, thanks to you.
Grandmother!
How dare you?!
I made use of his Eye of Truth.
I wouldn't have been able to get close if I didn't.
The biggest obstacle is dead.
Now I just need to kill all of you.
Ma. Barraio. Ioel.
Kotha.
Athorebalo. Abraoth.
A giant snake?
Impossible!
A high three class spectre can't appear in the human world!
She rendered Yokohama spiritually defenceless in order to summon that?
We're going to stop it here!
I don't really want to fight that!
Shiro!
We're going, too!
W-What's going on?
Nadeshiko-san is a puppeteer.
T-That's creepy!
Do it, Tamako-chan!
I guess I'll have to!
I'm sorry.
This is my fault...
It's not your fault.
It's because I...
Because I couldn't bring her down!
I've fought her so many times.
Sakuya...
We need to-
I'm going to kill that wretched woman.
We're settling this here!
Then I'm staying, too.
Idiot.
This is the woman who killed my grandmother.
You'll just get in my way.
You think I'm going to fall for that?
You're right.
I beseech thee...
Descend, Boat of the Gods.
Sakuya?
Live on, Shinichirou.
You...
I'm ordering you as your employer.
You're not getting paid if you disobey me!
Sakuya!
Oh?
You can do that?
You think I didn't prepare myself to defeat you?
I like that look on your face.
I wanted to see your face distorted with anger.
Tsumuha!
Tsumugare!
Looks like you've gotten a bit better.
All to send you to Hell!
I've already grown tired of Hell.
She's so hardheaded...
Isn't she, though?
A puppet?
What's going on?
Don't worry.
I can just have Nadeshiko make me another body.
More importantly, there's Sakuya.
She's still immature and doesn't listen to anyone,
but she's my dear granddaughter.
You're the only one who can protect her.
Please take care of her.
I will, no matter what!
Shimazu Style Spirit Summoning Technique:
Kamaitachi!
Well, that was no big de-
I-It shed its skin?
Damn you!
It's hard!
I... I can't move...
Are you okay, Tamako?!
Shinichirou...
You saved me.
Asano-kun, Tamako-chan!
I'll treat you for poison right now.
Shiro!
Don't worry.
He's good.
Asano-kun, where's Sakuya?
She's fighting Isuca.
That girl...
I won't forgive you!
That's my line.
My right arm, the one that you destroyed, aches.
It compels me.
It wants me to do the same to you!
Tsumuha!
Tsumugare!
Shimazu Style Bow Spirit Technique:
Murasame!
Now you've done it...
Just killing you won't be enough.
I need more than just your right arm.
I'll tear you limb from limb!
Sakuya!
Die!
