Aired on June 3, 2016
8
Mumei serves as the silent hunter under the command of Biba Tenshin, the leader of the Hunters. This special division is dedicated to hunting Kabane. While the general public regards Biba as a hero, Ikoma harbors deep distrust toward him. This suspicion stems from the fact that Biba is the individual responsible for transforming Mumei into a Kabaneri. Ikoma’s lack of faith in Biba contrasts sharply with the praise offered by others. The narrative highlights the tension between public perception and Ikoma’s private knowledge regarding the origins of Mumei’s condition and Biba’s role in it.
