Ep. 7: Shiki visits his childhood village and uncovers the dark truth about his parents' tragic fate.

Inugami, Kabane, Akira, and Shiki travel to the village where Shiki lived with his uncle before joining Inugami. There, they meet Shiki’s uncle, Akio, who recounts the story of Shiki’s parents. Shiki recalls childhood memories of marking trees and his mother’s daily forest visits, leading to a traumatic discovery of a ruined house. After being struck on the head, Shiki wakes in his uncle’s apartment, where Akio claims circumstances forced their separation. Nobimaru reveals that Akio Tademaru conducted horrific experiments using spider silk to weave human cells and organs. To fund a normal life for Shiki, Akio used Shiki’s mother as a base for artificial insemination with other Kemono, causing her physical and mental breakdown. Inugami confronts Akio, confirming he caused Shiki’s father’s death and suppressed the research to protect Kemono existence. Shiki, having fled years ago to escape this reality, is now brought to hear the full truth from his captured uncle.
