Tougen Anki (桃源暗鬼)

That move wasn't half-bad.

And it's made me even more interested.

So I'll get serious now.

A coffin?

Eradicate... Oni.

Destroy.

Those clothes.

Is he a Momotaro?

In the 24 ALIVE HERE

Days soaked in blood, tangled in unease

A glance exchanged becomes the signal

Where a dream awakens, lost in the moment

So far, so far

In the 24 ALIVE HERE

Gunfire devours fairy tales

Aimed straight ahead, what's the dream?

We tame despair and glory alike

Just something you prayed to God

That wish vanishes without mercy

So swallow even what's right when you must

So far from who I was

Even being incomplete

Means you can care for someone else

Doesn't matter what it is

We'll carry out the mission we were given

So far from who I was

So far from who you were

I'm afraid

The sadness, so merciless

Only deepens the pain

In the dreaming overnight

MOMOTARO SPIRIT

You sicko!

You even turn your comrades' corpses into puppets?

Are you out of your mind?

You're an idiot, aren't you?

Huh?

Idiots never doubt that their own standard is the only right one.

Back when that virus was spreading,

there were fools who staged protests claiming it was "just a cold."

Then there are the types who refuse all animal products

and set livestock "free" on their own.

Believing it yourself isn't idiotic,

but the idiot is one who forces it on others.

He willingly chose to become a puppet.

Why is my body... so heavy?

This is his ability.

When the puppet is a Momotaro, I can borrow their power, too.

He mixes bacteria into the oxygen around us and changes its weight.

Oni.

Eradicate... Oni.

Destroy.

This guy...

Even I didn't see this coming.

He's clung to that one line from when he was alive.

Eradicate... Oni.

Destroy.

Whether it's grudge or obsession, that's pure Momotaro spirit!

With that spirit, he can be my right-hand man.

In death, he can settle his regrets!

Can you withstand this weight?

It's no use!

What is this black wall?

Did that Momotaro woman put it up?

Maybe we should try another entrance.

No. I'm afraid the wall doesn't stop here.

All the entrances are probably sealed.

But you could destroy it, right, Mudano?

Iryuda-dera is above us, packed with tourists.

Destroying the wall would likely cause major damage topside.

You mean every tourist would have to be evacuated first?

That's impossible, sir!

Unlike the Momotaro Agency, we don't have any authority!

Sensei!

Yusurube?

When I swept the area earlier, I got an Oni reading.

Then the Momotaro barged in.

All injured personnel are up top,

but some of the Support Unit...

Ichinose and Kougasaki included, are trapped inside.

Understood.

We're out of time. Shiki and the rest are in danger.

What's our move?

Either way, before we tear this wall down...

our first priority is getting every tourist out of here.

Uh, Mudano...

Hmm?

This girl was outside muttering weird stuff.

Do you know her?

I'm sorry.

Someone like me coming to beautiful Kyoto...

Please forgive me.

So you showed up, Byobugaura.

They told me to come help, so...

Hey!

You're Homare Byobugaura, right?

I'm Juji Yusurube, 16! Nice to meet you!

My dream? After a date in school uniforms,

losing my virginity at my girlfriend's house!

I mean, I'd ditch this V-card right now if I could!

How 'bout it, huh? Me!

Quit fooling around.

Come on, this is serious!

These are the wholesome hopes and dreams of a fine, upstanding student!

Sensei, shouldn't a teacher support his student's dreams?

I thought this kid was normal. Guess my eye still needs work.

Byobugaura.

For me...

Yes!

Sorry, but you turning up now doesn't really help us.

...this is a serious topic!

Huh?

Actually, there is one thing.

A way to evacuate every civilian from Iryuda-dera

without leaving a single person behind.

Um, Sensei, wh-where are we?

Yusurube, keep the line open.

JUJI YUSURUBE

Roger that.

But...

what are we doing?

We're going to set off a small quake.

Huh?

We'll trigger a landslide and force the tourists to evacuate.

Right now, Byobugaura and I

are on the back slope behind Amida Hall at Iryuda-dera.

The slide will start right here.

A landslide, sir?

Isn't that dangerous?

Nobody will get caught in it.

A light quake won't budge the tourists.

But a landslide will be enough to get them out.

Once it starts, have everyone evacuate the visitors.

With that many soldiers, everyone will sense the danger and clear out.

Understood!

After that, Yusurube, confirm the tourists are all gone.

Do a recon sweep.

But how are you going to trigger a landslide?

Byobugaura, bring out that titan you summoned before.

We'll cause a landslide using that.

No way.

I can't. I'd...

It's fine. I'm here.

I might cause more trouble, like before.

I have no control over it.

I—

Then never mind.

Yusurube, the plan's canceled.

Huh? What should we do?

Think of another way.

If we delay any longer, the ones inside are in danger.

As for you, Byobugaura...

you're expelled.

I don't need anyone I can't use.

Um...

I mean...

I'm scared.

Unleashing a savage titan I can't control...

That would be terrifying for anyone!

Being afraid isn't the problem.

The problem is refusing to change.

I know about the incident you caused in the past, too.

Everyone's carrying some kind of burden.

Even so, they came to Rasetsu Academy because they want to change something.

Tell me, why did you come to Rasetsu?

I came because I want to learn to control my own blood.

Your blood is yours alone.

We can't change that.

So, Byobugaura, that means you're the one who has to change.
