Ep. 24: Chibi Overheats from Shinsaber Power as Reiji Seeks a Cure

24

Chibi suffers from excessive Shinsaber power, entering a catatonic state due to overheating. Reiji learns that without a specific mineral to suppress this energy, Chibi will die. Hikaru transports Reiji to the mineral's location, stating he wants Chibi healed to defeat him later for greater power. After Hikaru leaves, Reiji retrieves the mineral and saves Chibi's life. Meanwhile, Kohei returns to Rikyu, attacking shrines and interrogating priests to find the Shrine of the Four Dragons. Daisuke attempts to delay Kohei while Maiko seeks reinforcements. A mysterious warrior in dark glasses attacks Rokkaku without cause. Once recovered, Reiji joins the group, revealing his new power. Kohei, pleased to find a worthy opponent, flees the battle.
