Episode 8 Story

Shiki and his allies are scattered after being ambushed by Aguri.

Kuina Sazanami uses his Blood Eclipse Release to take down one of the Aguri but is nearly killed by another that appears soon after. Witnessing this horrifying scene, Rokuro Kiriyama does nothing but tremble in fear., unable to act.

Why is he so afraid? He recalls his first love, Ruru, who has already passed away. She had once given him the strength to be brave. Believing he cannot face her in the afterlife unless he fights, Rokuro steels his resolve.

Meanwhile, Shiki Ichinose, who escaped with Mei, is also battling another Aguri. Mei, having resigned herself to the same fate as her parents, has lost the will to fight. But Shiki urges her to “fight against despair!” and hides her before launching his own attack.

Series Overview

"You carry the blood of the Oni..."

The bloodlines of Oni and Momotaro have been passed down through a select group of humans. Ages ago, the Oni, fully aware of their own violent tendencies, chose to live in seclusion. But the Momotaro attacked them, initiating an age-long conflict. Both sides established organizations—the Oni Corporation and the Momotaro Agency—and their war has raged for millennia.

One day, Shiki Ichinose learns the shocking truth about his bloodline following a surprise Momotaro attack. From that moment, he is bound by destiny, encountering the Oni dwelling within him. Thus begins a new generation of dark hero demon saga.
