Tập 18: Rikuo dẫn đầu cuộc phản công để giải cứu Tsurara khỏi Tsuchigumo tại đền Sokokuji

18

Now that Rikuo has mastered the Matoi technique, the allied counterattack begins. Rikuo and his Night Parade retake the Seieji, Nishihoganji, and Rokukinji temples (fifth, fourth and third seals) which are resealed and head straight to Sokokuji Temple (second seal) to rescue Tsurara. Feeling hopeless, Tsurara tries to commit suicide but Rikuo and others came in a nick of time. Rikuo gains Tsurara's trust and together they fight using the Matoi technique, managing to sever one of Tsuchigumo's arms. Unfazed, Tsuchigumo seals the fighting area and repeatedly attacks Rikuo who is able to avoid being mauled. Tsurara, Zen and the Tono yōkai leap over the spider barrier to aid Rikuo.
