Episode Title:
Intertwining Tragedies - Tragedy Comes With Smile.
Episode Description:
As Rokuro hears that Benio's twin brother is YÅ«to Ijika, she starts to berate him with her sword then Seigen intervenes that there's more to the story. At that moment, a cloaked individual approaches and reveal itself to be YÅ«to. Surprise to see him alive, an enraged Rokuro confronts him but subdues him without use of talismans. Seigen resumes that the Hinatsuki tragedy was caused by cases of Kegare corruption. A flashback from two years, the tenants at Hinatsuki Dormitory attend a ceremony that YÅ«to set up claiming it will help others get stronger. In reality, the whole ritual was for performing dark arts on all the exorcist trainees for his own test subjects to receive vast spiritual power. As impurity atrocities throughout the dorm and unable to escape the trainees suffer under Kegare transformation while only Rokuro himself suppresses the nightmare. Gaining his Kegare arm in the process, Rokuro forced to put the calamity to rest by exorcising his peers. Since then the tragedy has left a trauma on Rokuro resulting him to abandon the exorcist profession. Back in the present, Benio is severely confused that her once kind brother would commit the tragedy. However, YÅ«to says he has been deceiving everybody and never actually cared for his family at all. Rokuro runs amok and punches him, while YÅ«to continually repels him with a similar arm. Seeing the battle getting nowhere, Benio intervenes when YÅ«to respects Rokuro's potential and then retreats. Returning home, while Seigen takes in Mayura for medical treatment, a pitiful Benio sincerely apologizes to Rokuro of her brother's misdeeds. Rokuro's newfound goal accepts Benio's partnership and the young exorcists together vow to become stronger to resolve YÅ«to's actions.
