Sogetsu was later found by Rangetsu but he told her to get out as she would also fall for his fate as well until it was too late. Sogetsu was rescued and looked like himself but the problem is that he questions himself "who am i?" in the final chapter of volume 9.

## Relationships

### Rangetsu

Sogetsu cares for Rangetsu since she's also the family member he as left. Once he was taken away, Rangetsu felt worried but had hope she'll get to see him again until he was murdered which made Rangetsu seek revenge. Once he saw Rangetsu rescuing him he told her to get out before it's too late until it was. After he was rescued He and Rangetsu were happy to be with each other again. Sogetsu told Rangetsu on what he felt and shortly after that he ran away which made Rangetsu worried and had to tell Taihaku and Prince Tenyou. They saw Sogetsu playing a game which he made a bet if he loses he'll go home but he won over his sister and Taihaku except he lost from his former master, Prince Tenyou. After that Rangetsu told Sogetsu for not rescuing him immediately which Sogetsu started to feel ok in being himself with his other personalities.

### Taihaku

Sogetsu is in a normal relationship with Taihaku when he first became a beast servant and after he was rescued.

### Tenyou

Sogetsu served Tenyou to be his beast servant for a while until his death. During the rescue arc, Sogetsu told Tenyou to leave along with Rangetsu and said he'll be fine which Tenyou disagreed and saved Sogetsu and had his arm cut off from the emperor's sword. Sogetsu felt worried after seeing his former master's hand was sliced off. Sogetsu is in good terms with his former master but can be a bit protective if Tenyou hurts Rangetsu's feelings. In volume 11 it can be seen that when Tenyou felt lonely when Rangetsu resigned as a beast servant and left the palace, Sogetsu tried cheering up his master and told him he liked him which may hint Sogetsu likes Tenyou a bit.
