Brief summary: We continue where we left off in the previous episode. Ryomu has returned, and is confronting the three “sisters”. After aptly defeating Chofei, Ryomu proceeds to go after Ryubi. After some confrontation with Kan-u, Ryubi unleashes her dragon, and goes berserk. After the battle, Ryubi becomes uncontrollable. It’s decided that the only way to calm her is to starve her until she gets close to dying. After a few days, she reverts to normal.

Meanwhile, Kaku and Sousou discuss the failed assassination attempt on Ryubi. Sousou then questions Kaku’s loyalty. Kaku and Kakuka discuss their ambitions and plans while doing evil things in their evil layer…of evil (they “get it on” in Kakuka’s apartment). Kakuka realizes something that he must tell Sousou, and steps out for a moment to go find him. However, he finds himself ambushed by Bashoku Yujo. While it seems like he’s winning at first, his vision blurs on him, and Bashoku gains the upper hand, stabbing him. Bashoku is also using the same weapon as another toushi at Nanyo, which leads Kaku and Sousou to place the blame for the attack on Nanyo, instead of Seito. The episode ends by re-introducing Hakufu and Shuyu.

Comments: Very, very good episode. We get Ryubi’s dragon being awakened, Bashoku’s appearance, some great fights, and the return of Hakufu. Not to mention the fanservice (and this is only the TV version).Screencaps will be coming as soon as I figure out how to take them. ‘^_^ EDIT: YATA! I did it! Screencaps comming in the next day or so.
