9화: 유우히가 검비늘 기사 아키타니 이나티카의 유산과 다가오는 헤카톰바이온의 위협을 발견하다

9

To prepare for battle, Yuuhi begins digging pitfall traps in the forest. In one hole, he discovers a package from the Swordfish Knight Akitani Inatika. Inatika claimed to have been born 500 years ago and gained omniscience. Later, he began teaching apprentices who all died of old age. Eventually, he trained Yukimachi and Subaru, whom he had foreseen would be his final apprentices. After training them for eight years, he lost his omniscience but gained the title of Swordfish Knight and his swordfish partner Zan Qamar. After passing on his last lesson to Yukimachi and Subaru, he left the biography for Yuuhi to find and died fighting a golem the very next day. The last page warns Yuuhi that somehow Anima needs Yuuhi to ensure his victory over Samidare. Mikazuki is curious about Inatika and Subaru explains they were present when the golem killed him. It was their first real fight but seeing Inatika hurt allowed them to develop their powers. Inatika died peacefully, knowing they were strong enough to survive without him. All the knights suddenly sense a great danger as Anima unleashes his latest golem, Hekatombaion. (Source: Wikipedia)
