When Latomu took the daisho he felt a power surge trough his being, something ancient and pure. He sensed Otaku's joy at her escape from the darkness. He sensed a peculiar sense of hope, as if he no longer fought alone. Latomu recover his spirit and both Unicorn departed to Shiro Iuchi to give the blades to the Khan.
