Inugamigyobu Tamazuki arrives accompanied by his 88 Demons of Shikoku to confront Rikuo. They loudly announce their intention to take over the Nura Clan, issuing a direct challenge to Rikuo. In response, Rikuo adopts his human form and conceals his true emotions. He hides his feelings to ensure that his friends remain unaware of his supernatural identity and the ongoing conflict. This secrecy is maintained to protect his relationships with those around him while facing the threat posed by the invading demons and their leader.
