Episode 35

二女の祈り! 目覚めた風神!

A Maiden's Prayer; The awakened Fujin! 

Mori Kougan became aware of the possibility that the Hokages could advance to the finals round of the Urabutousatsoujin. During the battle between Fuko and Gashakura, he activated a laser fence, which had caused severe injuries to Fuko. Another disadvantage for Fuko was that she was forced to fight within the arena space where she would be in the attacking range of Gashakura's madough - Magagumo (Foul spider)...

Gashakura released the Magagumo but deliberately missed Fuko and hit all the 4 pillars, destroying them one by one. Fuko questioned Gashakura (who was also injured in the process) for his motiv. He replied that he didn't do for Fuko but because he didn't wanted people to say that he had won the round because of the laser fence. Fuko gave him credit for having a fighter's pride and honour.

The fight continued but Fuko was no match for Gashakura's physical strength. She fell onto the ground, the Oni no Tsume ore dropped out from Fujin, her energy spent. Gashakura bagen to feel tired due to the effects of the laser fence. Fuko had the mental strength to fight on but her body was not willing to do so. She looked at Fujin and begged it to help her. The 4 beads of Fujin glowed red in colour for a moment before one of them remained glowing. Fuko took it as a sign that Fujin had agreed to help. She got up and took out the glowing bead.

Kagero cried out to her not to do it. The red bead glowed and absorbed the air in a spiralling manner, forming a gale. Recca asked Kagero what was going on. She explained that Fujin had a main ore with 4 beads (named as the spirit of wind - Kaze no Kadama). When she found Fujin, the main ore was already gone, but the 4 beads helped to maintain the power of Fujin. She never told Fuko about it because she was afraid  if Fuko used all the 4 beads, the power of Fujin would be lost forever. She never thought that Fuko could discover it herself.

Gashakura used the Magagumo but a barrier (created by Fujin) protected Fuko and destroyed the Magagumo. Due to the impact, Gashakura was thrown off to the other end of the arena. The red bead glowed and enlarged. Then, popped out a white flurry foxy-like creature with blue eyes who introduced itself as Fujin. However, it iwas just a copy of the real Fujin. Until, Fuko found the ore of Fujin she must use the remaining 3 beads carefully. Otherwise, Fujin would lose it power forever. Standing at the back, Raiha watched the entire scene.

Gashakura got up. Even though Magaumo was destroyed, he still had 2 fists to fight with. He charged. Fujin turned itself into a furball and tells Fuko to throw him at Gashakura. Fuko obeyed despite that she still didn't fully understand what was going on. Fujin sent Gashakura flying to the ceiling of the battle dome, imprinting him on the concrete structure. He fell unconsciously onto the ground. The referee announced the winner - Fuko. Fujin told Fuko that this was part of a move until she found the ore of Fujin, the move would not be completed. Then, it disappeared before Fuko could ask more questions. Kagero believed that Fujin had chosen Fuko to be its master.

At the castle, Mori Kougan angrily broke the wineglass in his hand. It was up to Magensha to defeat the Hokages. As they celebrated their victory, Magensha interrupted them, reminding them that he was the last one left. He walked over Gashakura who had just regained conscious and hit him with his bazooka He would decide Gashakura's punishment later. Domon was ready for the fight but Fuko wanted to fight on. She hoped to injure Magensha so that Domon would stand a better chance in defeating him.

Magensha agreed with her proposal. The referee started the fight. Fuko leaped up and strike down. However, she sensed something very wrong. Magensha asked her what was the problem. He laughed as he revealed his secret - he was an immortal. Recca and Domon made faces at him, calling him as a liar but Fuko confirmed that Magensha was telling the truth. She was very certain that she had him but...

Wasting no time, Magensha opened the portal, which sucked in Kashamaru and Tsukishiro previously. Fuko was lifted up. She lengthened the Kaze no Tsume, stabbing them on shoulder armour of Magensha just to let her have a few minutes to speak her last words to the Hokages. She told the Hokages that they must go on. They must fight on to win. Magensha brushed the Kaze no Tsume off and Fuko was sucked into the portal. The portal  was closed. The Hokages stared at the empty space. Gashakura asked Magensha for his motive for doing so. After all, Fuko had fought bravely. He told Recca that Fuko was not dead but was sent to another dimension. Magensha pointed his bazooka at him to shut him up.

Recca ran off, yelling that he would find Fuko. (But does he have any idea on how was he going to do it?) Domon walked up the arena. His mind still remembered Fuko's last words. He promised Fuko that he would defeat Magensha and tear his mask out to reveal his ugly face.

While Domon charged towards Magensha, an evil shadow was lurking at the medical bay where Yanagi was healing Koganei.
