Tập 23: Chiến thắng dễ dàng của Nue khiến lực lượng của Nurarihyon phải trì hoãn chiến lược.

23

To the surprise of everyone, Nue is able to defeat Tsuchigumo almost effortlessly. Nurarihyon orders Gyuki and his fellows to delay Nue. Hagoromo Gitsune's host is revealed to be Yamabuki Otome, Rihan's first wife. Before she dies, Yamabuki Otome reveals that as part of their plan to eliminate Rihan, Abe no Seimei and Sanmoto Gorozaemon used Soul Rebirth on her and manipulated her memories. She was taken into Rihan's house and when conditions were right, she killed him. Rikuo, together with the Nura Clan and the Tono yōkai, attack Nue but are unable to harm him with their haphazard attacks. (Source: Wikipedia)
