Ep. 48: Tamahome battles Suboshi while Hotohori confronts Nakago's true plan

Tamahome engages Suboshi in combat, attempting to lure a weapon fragment back to its owner. Suboshi anticipates this, but the spirits of Tamahome's siblings restrain him. Meanwhile, Nakago reveals to Hotohori that the war serves as a distraction while he turns Kutou's armies against themselves to eventually conquer Miaka's world. Hotohori charges Nakago, enduring a powerful life energy attack to deliver a fatal stab wound. Hotohori succumbs to his injuries after warning Miaka that he could not stop "him." Keisuke hands Miaka the book, allowing her to speak with the dying Hotohori before he passes away. Finally, Keisuke requests that Tamahome return into the book alone.
