## Summary

It was Shuten, ​​who regained the heart of the human being and took Kaos's shakujo, and became a monk, who saved Ryo and Touma from the attack of Kayura. Meanwhile, Ryo and his friends seek a way to the evil world where Shin and the others are trapped. They aim for Shinjuku, where Arago's castle once appeared.

Ryo and his friends, looking for the entrance to the Youjakai, headed to Shinjuku, where the Youja Gates once appeared. However, Kayura appears there and stands in the way of Ryo and his friends.

迦遊羅の攻撃から遼たちを救ったのは、人の心を取り戻し迦雄須の錫杖を引き継いで雲水姿となった朱天だった。一方遼たちは伸たちが囚われている妖邪界への道を求め、かつて阿羅醐城が出現した新宿を目指す。

妖邪界への入り口を探す遼たちは、かつて妖邪門が開いた新宿へと向かった。しかし、そこに迦遊羅が現れて、遼たちの行く手に立ち塞がるのだった。

## Highlights

Shuten, ​​who succeeds Kaos, becomes a rescuer and guide to the Samurai Troopers. It feels like the suffering his heart has endured has led him to this place. On the other hand, his power as a warrior is still alive. He has become a reassuring ally.

Shuten meets Ryo and his friends, who are enthusiastic to save their others as soon as possible. He has inherited the power of Kaos and wishes to help guide the Samurai Troopers. Everyone can't hide their surprises from this wonderful transformation (the viewers should have been surprised).

The scene where you can see that Shuten has inherited the will of Kaos is important, but in fact, there are many other points of interest. First of all, you can see various things depending on the point of view, such as the scent of the connection between Kayura and Kaos's clan through the shakujo; the white flame that aims at the mysterious decoration of the Kayura's chest for a moment; and the signboards of Shinjuku where Ryo and his friends visit again. It's time to go.

The long-awaited appearance of Kayura. A bishoujo Kayura who makes her appearance with fancy wisteria flowers, and a Touma who does not have his signature downward slanted eyes. No matter which cut you look at, you will be fascinated by the action that the beautiful man and the beautiful woman unfolds in a narrow screen. Despite her cute appearance, the voice of Kayura makes you feel she is a mature woman, which deepens the mystery of the character. In addition, while the three people except Ryo gained their eyes in the battle with the demon general, Shuten Doji had the impression that he was a "great leader" when he accepted Kaos's duty. I wonder if his face wasn't there.

迦雄須の後を継ぎサムライトルーパーたちを救い導く存在になっていく朱天。以前と比べて穏やかになった態度の内に、苦しみここに至った心の軌跡を感じさせてくれる。一方、かつての戦士としての力も健在で心強い味方となった。

仲間たちを救うため、一刻も早くと意気込む遼たちを諭す朱天。彼が迦雄須の遺志を継ぎ、サムライトルーパーたちを導くことになる。見事な転身ぶりに皆、驚きを隠せない(視聴者もビックリしたはず)。

朱天が迦雄須の意志を受け継いでいたことがわかるシーンも重要だが、実は他にも注目ポイントが多い。まずは錫杖を通しての迦遊羅と迦雄須一族との因縁の香り、迦遊羅の胸の不思議な飾りを一瞬狙う白炎、そして遼たちが再び訪れる新宿の看板類など、着眼点次第で色々と見えてくる回だ。

お待ちかねの迦遊羅登場。な んといっても村瀬修功作画の真 骨頂、豪華な藤の花と共に現れ る美少女、迦遊羅と、タレ目では ない当麻。どのカットを見ても うっとりするような美男美女が 画面狭しと繰り広げるアクショ ンに見とれよう。 その可愛い面立ちからは意外 なほど、成熟した女性を感じさ せる迦遊羅の声は、そのギャッ プによってキャラクターの謎を 深めている。 また、遼を除く3人が魔将と の戦いで開眼を得る中、当麻だ けは、迦雄須が与えた課題を単 身クリアしているあたりは、こ れまであまり「智将」の印象が なかった彼の面目躍如か。
