Episode 8 

人形の部屋！ 風子の死闘！

Doll’s house; Fuko’s death match

Recca, Fuko and Domon had defeated Maria through teamwork and proceeds onwards to fight against Katashiro Reiran. During the duel between Fuko and Reiran, Fuko fell into Reiran’s trap....

Reiran laughed at Fuko’s helplessness and said that Fuko was under her control. Domon charged at her but received a kick by Fuko. Both Domon and Recca was appalled by her action even though Fuko said that she wasn’t the one doing it and she couldn’t control her body. Reiran proceeded to use Fuko to attack Recca. Recca yelled at her to stop though Fuko kept on repeating her previous answer (obviously, the 2 boys don’t get the point that Fuko had become Reiran's puppet!) Soon,  both Domon and Recca shared the same fate as Fuko's. Reiran explained to the trio that while she was using Fuko, she had been attaching her threads on them.

In the room, Mokuren continued to threaten Yanagi. Kurei stopped him and said that seeing their present condition, they would probably die and it was not necessary to find their identities.  Reiran touched a red ball tied onto her shoulder – the Hokage moudough, Kugutsu. The moudough glowed, activating Primela who got  up, took up Reiran's s sword and stepped towards Fuko. She lauched forward, giving a deep cut on Fuko’s arm. Fuko screamed in pain. Reiran ‘apologized’ for it because Primela was too young to hold a sword properly. Fuko screamed at the continuous tortures. Her vision became blurrier and blurrier. Fuko questioned herself on how Reiran was able to survive the heavy wounds that she previously inflicted on her. She looked at Primela and gasped. Then, she laughed eerily.

Reiran asked if her fear of death had made her mad. Fuko replied that it was the opposite. With renewed strength, Fuko used Fujin to create a mini hurricane to blow away Reiran's threads. Once freed, Fuko resumed her attack on Reiran, who tried to capture her with her threads. Fuko dodged and jumped high, telling Reiran that her trick won’t work twice and sent a blowing wind towards her. Reiran screamed as the Kugutsu dropped to the ground. Fuko told the rest that the fight had ended because Reiran was just a mannequin and the real Moudough master was none other than Primela herself!  

Primela burst in tears and asked how did Fuko know despite her perfect act as a doll. Fuko explained that firstly, Reiran did not show sighs of pain when she was injured. Secondly, she saw the fear in Primela’s eyes when she attacked her. That meant that Primela had never killed anyone before and was actually a good girl. Primela crouched over Reiran and cried, calling her mama. She revealed her past to the trio. A year ago, her mum had died and Primela had been lonely ever since.  One day, she saw a mannequin in a store that looked exactly like her mother. Everyday, she would stand at the shop, looking at her. That was how she met Kurei, who gave her the moudough, Kugutsu that had the ability to give life to dolls. After attaching the Kugutsu to the mannequin, it became alive. Kurei explained to Primela that not anybody could use the maudough. However, her love for her mother had touched the maudough and allowed her to be its master. As long as Primela served him, she could keep Kugutsu.

Primela apologized to Fuko for her actions and became friends with the trio. Koganei rushed into the room where Kurei was and excitedly asked him if the rumours about Reiran's had been true. Kurei ordered him to go downstairs and released the next fighter. Mokuren told Yanagi that the next fighter had to be locked up otherwise they would be dead.

Kage Houshi looked at the purple swirls in the Eikai ball and told Tokiya Mikagami that they might need his help. However, Mikagami left, saying that it was none of his business. She commented to herself that Mikagami would be a great asset to the trio. Back at the mansion, Koganei released the prisoner and told him to finish off 3 people who will be passing this way. A growl replied him.

Primela bandaged up Fuko’s wounds before snapping at Domon when he addressed her as kid, saying that she had a name. Recca asked her for it because he don't believe that Primela was her real name. Her face turned red as she unwillingly told them – Morikawa Ganko. Recca and Domon burst in laughter, saying that Ganko means stubborn and pig-headed. Fuko smiled at them for their way of expressing friendship but changed her mind when Ganko beat them up. Afterwards, Recca lifted Ganko upon his shoulders and the group was ready to continue their rescue mission. A thundering sound was heard above them. The gang hurried up to the next level.

They entered into a room that was made up of stone. A tall, heavy bodybuilder walked over to them – Sekioh. He threws a pillar at them, which they all evaded. Domon said that he was going to fight Sekioh by himself because if Fuko could defeat Reiran on her own so could he.
