Ep. 20: Shikibu and Hachisu assault Murakumo while Hachiro faces controlled Hibiki and Magoroku
Aired on May 22, 2018
Shikibu and Hachisu launch a frontal attack on the Murakumo, while Hachiro allows the Joujin-controlled Hibiki to strike him before she mistakes him for Gennosuke. Rinne Magoroku attempts to manipulate Hachiro using his Adamantite Tower. Elsewhere, Shichigen, Rui, and Utsutsu ascend the Murakumo, where Shichigen encounters Yasha Itaru. She uses her Destiny's Passage mirror to create an illusion of his mother, causing Shichigen to attack and wound Shikibu and Hachisu. Itaru forces Shikibu to remove his armor, but Hachisu shoots her despite being handless, breaking the spell. Shikibu then kills Itaru as his body explodes. Joujin awaits for Hachiro and Hibiki to consummate their relationship, believing he controls them.
