## Lyrics

* English

Am I still in the glum nightmare?

Or am I mere stoned?

Tiny bit of reason still remains in my right hand

That power of ache will just keep me alive

Can't touch nothing 'bout the world

But the truth almost has revealed

Then smash out the future told

It's time to end these miseries

Latch off my vagus nerve

What color is my blood...Red, black or white?

Now I'm getting ready

Oh, where are my frenemies?

If I got to lose control

Will you kill me first?

Deep rooted anger still remains in my right hand

That power of ache will just keep me alive

Can't touch nothing 'bout the world

But the truth almost has revealed

Then smash out the future told

It's time to end these miseries

Latch off my vagus nerve

What color is my blood...Red, black or white?

Now I'm getting ready

Oh, where are my frenemies?

Have I gone so mad?

The pain's through my blood

Can't touch nothing 'bout the world

But the truth almost has revealed

Then smash out the future told

It's time to end these miseries

Latch off my vagus nerve

What color is my blood...Red, black or white?

Now I'm getting ready

Oh, where are my frenemies?

Have I gone so mad?

The pain's through my blood
Episode 1

## Frighten Corpse

**Frighten Corpse** (脅える屍, *Obieru Shikabane*) is the first episode of Koutetsujou no Kabaneri.

## Synopsis

The immortal monsters known as Kabane have attacked Aragane Station. Ikoma, a boy who lives in Aragane Station, ran against the waves of terrified civilians to fight against Kabane using a weapon he has been secretly developing - the Piercing gun.

## Summary

In Hinomoto, the hayajiro Koutetsujou, an armored train, passes an abandoned station and gets attacked by several Kabane, humans turned monsters by a viral infection. The bushi on the train fight and defeat them, but one is bitten and the rest force him to commit suicide to prevent him from turning and endanger the rest. In the mean time, at Aragane Station, Ikoma, a young steamsmith works on a powerful piercing gun capable of killing the Kabane.

On the next day, Ikoma while doing his regular job, Ikoma explains his progress with Takumi and realizes his mistake for the gun and wants to go home and work on it, but they receive news that Koutetsujou arrives. While they perform cleaning on the train, Ikoma steals some Kabane body parts. Kenshou Yomogawa, the leader of the Yomogawa family, welcomes and excuses Mumei and Shimon, two passengers on the train from the mandatory Kabane inspection. The inspection finds an infected, who tries to run while stating he isn't a Kabane. Ikoma interfere protecting the man, stating they need to lock him and not kill him as that's the rules the bushi made themselves. That only annoys the bushi who then attack Ikoma and the Kabane hearts he collected get seen. The man is then shot and as he dies everyone realizes he wasn't infected, while Ikoma gets thrown in jail in suspicion of being Kabane. During the night, Mumei sneaks out and visits Ikoma as she is intrigued by his personality and beliefs.

Another hayajiro Fusoujou arrives at the station. The defensive bridge gets lowered, but as the train is taken over by the Kabane, it crashes at the defensive wall, allowing the Kabane to attack the station. Emergency is annonuced and Ikoma manages to escape jail and heads home. He manages to lure a Kabane into his house to test his gun. As he kills the Kabane, he starts celebration only to find out he got bitten. Shimon gets bitten too and instructs Mumei to continue to Kongokaku and await their master orders. He then proceeds and takes his life. Ikoma starts transforming into Kabane, to prevent it, he uses several painful and dangerous methods to prevent his blood to flow and carry the virus to his brain. As he successfully does, he reverts the transformation to his human form. Meanwhile, Mumei faces and kills a Kabane using a blade in her shoe.

Fusoujou

The **Fusoujou** is a Hayajiro originating from Hayatani Station. After departing from the recently fallen Hayatani Station, it was somehow hijacked by the Kabane and was used to breach Aragane Station.

## Role

The Fusoujou was Hayatani Station's Hayajiro and was used shortly after the fall of the station, to presumably transport survivors and supplies to the nearest station which happened to be Aragane. Along the journey though, somehow the Kabane managed to hijack the entire train and ram it into the west gate of Aragane causing the Kabane to swarm the city and eventually overrun it.

## Known Members Aboard

Kabane only.

Former Hayatani station survivors.

## Trivia

Yukina and Sukari met the son of one of its engineers at Shitori station.

The engine's 3d model was recycled for multiple Hiyajiros owned by defense groups. Examples include: 3 defending trains on a multi-story railway section in Kongokaku, and another being used as a defense train, by the Allied Forces in the Unato Movie.
Wazatori

A **Wazatori** (ワザトリ) is a Kabane who has lived long enough to gain proficiency with a specific art or has had enough past experience from its time as a human to retain some or most of its muscle memory in its Kabane form.

The first Wazatori is introduced during the Journey to Kongōkaku Arc, where it boards the Kōtetsujō alongside a band of ambushing Kabane during the train's shortcut through the mountains. The Wazatori in question was adept enough at swordplay to match Kurusu blow for blow until being outpaced, but due to a slip by Kurusu and its iron heartcage he is able to shrug off a fatal blow, leaving his opponent wide open and wounding Kurusu badly in retaliation, only being put down by Ikoma in one shot using the Tsuranuki Zutsu.

 Yet another was met in Yashiro Station, this time experienced in hand to hand combat. Though it should be noted Mumei was weakened at the time of the fight, the Wazatori nevertheless managed to withstand her strength and initial attacks without a problem, once again only being put down by Ikoma's timely intervention.

## Trivia

* Like Kabane, Wazatori is written in Japanese with katakana in order to denote it as a loanword. Wazatori, unlike Kabane, is not a basic Japanese word, though Japanese viewers have taken to writing it with the kanji for "skill" (技) and "taken" (取り)
* It has been translated as "learner" and "queer"

Mumei's Steam Pistols

Mumei uses a pair of steam pistols that act on the same principal as the guns used by the Bushi. The exception being that each has a spring bayonet.

## Description

The bayonets are coated in a Kabane heart substance, making them able to pierce the hearts of Kabane and giving them extra durability. The pistols are loaded the same way as the steam guns. It is unknown how many shots Mumei can shoot but the guns have chronometer on their back to let Mumei know how much time she has used up. The pistols seem to also have a limited range and cannot fire as far as the Bushi guns.
Wit Studio

**Wit Studio** Inc. (株式会社ウィットスタジオ *Kabushiki-gaisha Witto Sutajio*) is a Japanese animation studio founded on June 1, 2012 by producers at Production I.G as a subsidiary of IG Port. It is headquartered in Musashino, Tokyo, Japan, with Production I.G producer Wada Jouji as president and Nakatake Tetsuya, also a producer at Production I.G., as a director of the studio. It gained notability and popularity for producing the anime adaptation of the Attack on Titan manga series.
Steam Gun

**Steam Gun** (蒸気銃, *Jōki jū*) or **Steam Cylinder/Tube** (蒸気筒, *Jōki-zutsu*) is a steam weapon commonly used by Bushi to fight off the Kabane and guarantee the safety of the citizens, developed from the same technology as the steam engine. It was mentioned by Ikoma (while talking about how his tsuranuki Zutsu is superior) that the "Steam Gun" uses "lead shots/bullets". It is unknown at this time who invented the gun but the weapon is based on the design and function of several weapons including the air gun, paintball gun, musket and lever-action repeating carbine. The front end of the gun is based on the cavalry carbine musket and the end is inspired with a lever-action Winchester.

The Steam Gun is connected to a portable boiler to create pressure, known as **Backpack Engine** (背負い機関, *Seoi kikan*). It is connected to a pressure gauge, and it releases steam from the exhaust after every shot. The ammunition is based on paintball tac-pod. The tac-pod is inserted upside down into the loading chamber that is connected to the barrel of the gun. After firing a shot, another bullet is cocked into position with the lever before firing is possible. While the weapon seems to possess considerable power, the weapon requires multiple shots to penetrate the iron around a Kabane's heart. With the help of Suzuki, Ikoma was able to miniaturize the technology of his Tsuranuki Zutsu to create "jet bullets" capable of piercing a Kabane's heart in a single shot at range. This enable the bushi on the Koutetsujou to take on the Kabane on a more advantageous footing. Steam Guns have also been upscaled to create large Steam Cannons such as the Type 48 that was used by the Koutetsujou to take on a large Fused Colony at Yashiro Station.

The Steam Gun has been modified through the progress of the show, with a experimental drum magazine style tested by Mumei at the start of The Battle of Unato.

**Inescapable Darkness** (逃げられぬ闇, *Nigerarenu Yami*) is the fifth episode of Koutetsujou no Kabaneri.

## Synopsis

The Koutetsujou picks up survivors from Yashiro Station which has been destroyed by the Kabane. Among the survivors is Enoku, an old friend of Mumei's. He points out to Mumei how weak she's become as she's grown closer to the people of the Koutetsujou.

## Summary

Ikoma helps the bushi by developing guns and swords capable of killing the Kabane. Two men cause commotion over argument for food and that annoys Mumei and scares the children, she then beats up both of them. Ayame calls her the bodyguard of Koutetsujou. The train arrives at Yashiro Station and they realize the station was attacked by Kabane and there are some survivors remaining. They rescue the survivors, who talk of a Black Fog before the attack. Mumei meets an old friend Enoku, a crippled fighter loyal to her brother, the Young Master. He tells her that the Shogunate is acting suspiciously and is stockpiling on weapons capable of only killing humans. He advises her to complete her mission while she is still human to not be throw out like him.

Debris is blocking the train tracks and Ikoma suggest a cautious plan using a crane to safely remove the debris. Mumei agrees to join them, but won't fight with them and insists on a head-on clash, calling them cowards. Ikoma leads a group of bushi and engineers to start the crane, but after seeing how Mumei ignores his warning and heads straight into the boiler room where all the Kabane are, he heads her way. Mumei enters the boiler room and starts fighting the Kabane, killing all of them, including a Wazatori, but as more appear, she goes after them. As Ikoma's group follow Mumei, they see they the large number of Kabane she took down. When Ikoma starts to activate the boiler, the Kabane that Mumei killed had provoked a large mass of Kabane that was located at the bottom of the station.

Ikoma calls for a retreat and decides he to stay and operate the crane. A weakening Mumei uses her remaining energy to fight and hold off the Kabane from the crane, but a melee Wazatori comes and throws her off the crane platform. Ikoma leaves the crane before clearing the debris and heads towards Mumei. He kills the Wazatori and reaches Mumei, but then after some tremors, a giant shadowy figure appears.

While Ayame and Koutetsujou's crew were planning to escape using the train, Uryuu showed up with his men, proposing a deal: information about a secret escape route for their place on the Koutetsujou. Knowing there's no other way out of the city, and to avoid more conflict between the two groups, Ayame accepted his offer. In return, Uryuu told Ayame that Ikoma and Kurusu are both in Kongoukaku.

People were unable to understand what was happening as Mumei kills a pregnant Kabane woman which they thought it was human. Kurusu pushes Ikoma away from Ayame and Ikoma comes to his senses. A large group of Kabane then appears from the forest and they are forced to get back on the train and leave. As the fear of the Kabaneri grew, The Six Chiefs, led by Akouji, makes Ayame hand over the Master Key of Koutetsujou. Akouji then reroutes the train for the mountains to provide a shorter route to Kongokaku, in spite of being more dangerous path.

Takumi, Kajika and Sukari are considered traitors and are then send to the last train car with Mumei and Ikoma. By the Six Chiefs orders, some men try to detach the last car, however in that moment Kabane ambushes the train and jump on it. Among them is a sword-wielding Wazatori, who enters the train and starts killing people. Ayame and Kurusu then lead the bushi to fight and hold off the Kabane, until the surviving passengers escape to the front cars. Kurusu then fights the remaining Kabane with his sword skills. Meanwhile, Mumei and Ikoma escape the last car and move towards the front car while on top of the train, but Mumei soon falls asleep from exhaustion and hunger.

The Wazatori reaches Kurusu and he starts fighting him. As he attempts to pierce his heart, Kurusu's sword brakes and the Wazatori stabs Kurusu. As the bushi were barely holding against the Wazatori, Ikoma arrives and asks for blood in order to be able to fight the Wazatori. Ayame then slashes her arm and offers him her blood in exchange for he to fight for them. Ikoma then takes her blood and goes and easily kills the Wazatori with his gun. Ayame then regains the Master Key and declares that the Kabaneri will remain on the train and that she will be providing them her blood.

## Synopsis

The Koutetsujou is standing before a giant cluster of Kabane, the Black Smoke, and all seems hopeless. Meanwhile, Ikoma and Mumei find themselves at the bottom of an abandoned station.

## Summary

The Black Smoke is revealed to be a colony of Kabane fused together. Having no choice, the Koutetsujou retreats to the train station workshop and seal the door. Ikoma finds Mumei trapped under rubble and tries to get her out. Meanwhile on Koutetsujou the committee is discussing their options of escaping and whatever they leave the Kabaneri behind or not.

Ikoma fails to free Mumei and as Kabanes approach, he decides to leave them away and fight them, killing as many as he can. As Mumei loses and regains her consciousness, he recalls her past and how her mother died. Kibito, Kurusu and some others them come and clear the rubble freeing Mumei.

Aragane Station

**Aragane Station** was one of the city strongholds in Hinomoto, governed by the Yomogawa family until its breach and fall to the Kabane at the beginning of the series.

## The City

Aragane Station is enclosed by steel walls perched atop an extremely tall moat, with a drawbridge at the western and eastern ends of the city for train circulation. Inside the walls the city is built around a central hill where the Yomogawa castle complex sits, including farms, residential areas, steamshops and watchtowers to scout Kabane activity beyond the moat. The western gate was completely annihilated when the Fusoujou rammed into the drawbridge and whiplashed its cars over the wall, causing a tremendous explosion from the gate all the way into the streets of the city.

Sukari

**Sukari** (巣刈, *Sukari*) is a Steam Smith who lives at Aragane Station. He puts up a cynical front, but has good judgement.

## Appearance

Sukari is an attractive looking man with a wavy long blond hair and brown eyes. He wears formal Steam Smith clothes and black sandals.

## Personality

He puts up a cynical act, mocking Yukina and his fellow smiths, but has good judgement and is willing to help even in times of grave danger.

## Plot

Sukari participated in the Koutetsujou's intialization, asking Takumi whether the machines work properly.

When the Koutetsujou makes a stop in order to gather water supplies and for people to pray for their dead, he mocked one of workers for praying and not doing his job, saying that prayers won't resurrect the dead. He is soon interupted by Yukina, who says that she will do it instead. Sukari asks whether she lost someone, and Yukina responds that she lost her teacher. Sukari teasingly questioned if she was close with her teacher, as Yukina angrily bashed him against the train with the metal plate they were carrying.

When the train is taken over by the Six Chiefs, Sukari and the rest of the smiths are thrown into a car containing Kabaneri under the excuse of "sympathizing" with them. Sukari is angry at the civilians for expelling him with them. However, after another pack of Kabane attack the vehicle, the group forms a plan on how to eliminate the threat.

Sukari and Takumi are tasked to control the crane while the others repel the Kabane and activate the boiler in order to remove a tower that is blocking the railroad. However, the two are forced to retreat by Ikoma, who said chooses to manage the crane in their stead due to an approaching horde of Kabane, protecting them from the risk of getting bitten.

When Ikoma and Mumei are trapped inside a collapsed cave, Sukari and the others retreat from the black smoke and forced into the iron drawbridge of the Yashiro station. When plotting an escape plan to both leave the station and destroy the black smoke, Sukari is told by Yukina that a body part of a Kabane is stuck in the gears, preventing the train from going faster. After making the statement to himself ''this is my unlucky day'' he successful removed the body part and got back in the car safe and sound.

Fused Colony

## Hybrid colony

A **Hybrid colony** (融合群体, *Yuugou Guntai*) is a titanic amalgamation of Kabane, animated or otherwise, that form an animated, humanoid shape. Easily able to tower even the grandest of buildings, a colony can be as large as the number of bodies it has accumulated, and a single fallen station seems more than capable of producing enough bodies for one's creation. The Kabane incorporated into the colony seem to be consciously gripping on, or otherwise fused, to each other to form the shape.

The colony has a heart as its weakpoint like any other Kabane, the difference being the sheer size of it - a colony's heart is a Kabane itself, surrounded by a multitude of other Kabane to form the body. The core Kabane seems to be partially fused or encased in a bright blue substance of unknown characteristics, though the rest of the body will do whatever it can to actively protect it, going as far as to "re-knit" the body around the exposed core with more Kabane. As stated by Mumei, the fused colony is "very greedy", taking in humans and Kabane to grow in size, dead or alive.

One such specimen was defeated by Mumei and Takumi in Yashiro station, in which the inhabitants of the former were caught so blindsided they described the incident as being engulfed in "black smoke" (黒けぶり, *Kuro Keburi*, lit. Black Smoke), having unofficially christened the creature without knowing what it truly was. By Mumei's reaction towards it, it can be assumed that more can and do exist, though seem to be rare as it was her first time witnessing one herself and the rest of the crew seemed entirely ignorant of anything remotely akin to it. It was later revealed to be a manmade Fused Colony that Biba created. It can only be used by females using black blood. The process can also be reversed if white blood is injected.
Warabi

Warabi is a member of the Hunters.

## Personality

He is shown to be uncaring and cruel towards individuals that are weaker than him.

## Plot

While taking blood from Koutetsujou passengers, a man asks that he give blood for him and his wife. Uryuu doesn't mind it, but Warabi wonders whats the fun in that. As he approaches the man, the man offers to give four times the amount of blood, as long as his wife don't need to give and Warabi agrees on the deal, but then proceeds and cuts the man's arm, telling their staff to collect the blood from the floor.

Uryuu tells him that he is tired of seeing him picking on the weak, but Warabi ignores him. Takumi then starts yelling at Warabi and Warabi turns looking at Takumi and commenting that he probably can give 30 times the amount of blood and if he wants to make a deal.
Bushi

The Bushi (武士 *Bushi*) is an organized group of individuals whom have been trained to fight against the Kabane. Their responsibility include the safeguarding and protection of the citizens sheltering in various stations and Hayajiro.

## Methodology

As protectors, the Bushi are sworn to protect their fellow citizens even at the cost of their own life. However due to Kabane outbreak, several members tend to grow paranoid and generally act out of fear whenever confronted by an unknown danger and as a result the Bushi are renown for using extreme and even deadly force whenever necessary. Individual members appear to hold themselves in high esteemed honor and tend to degrade those below them in terms of rank, most notably steam smiths. Their aggressive demeanor whenever provoked appears unsettling to many to which citizens try their best to avoid all confrontation with them.

Whenever a member has been bitten by the Kabane, no matter what the circumstance that member is expected to utilize a suicide bag in order to prevent the the infection from harming anyone else and to ultimately prove their honor and preserve their humanity.

## Skills and Abilities

The Bushi primarily act as a Militia force in rebelling against the Kabane threat and have been trained in fending off against them. In terms of equipment and weaponry, the Bushi primarily utilize steam guns which have proven largely ineffective against the Kabane. Other members utilize blades and spears and several have proven to be capable marksmen and warriors.

## Trivia

* The name ‘Bushi’ is a Japanese term for ‘samurai’ which is derived from the word ‘Bushido’ (武士道) which translates to ‘the way of the warrior’
Tsuranuki Zutsu

The **Tsuranuki Zutsu** (ツラヌキ筒), or "Piercing Gun," is a weapon created to pierce the iron hearts of Kabane more efficiently than conventional steam weaponry, invented by Ikoma and Takumi.

The Tsuranuki Zutsu was designed and developed by Ikoma and Takumi and as of yet only a single one has been made. However, given that it has been made by just two steamsmiths, when provided with the right materials additional units could be produced.

## Creation

Ikoma, assisted by Takumi, spent his free time building and testing the Tsuranuki Zutsu whenever possible. The main concept came from a simple steamsmith's rivet gun, upscaled and weaponized to the point that it could be used against kabane. Ikoma's goal was to pierce the iron cage surrounding a kabane's heart, which he attempted to replicate with a thick sheet of iron. After countless failed attempts, Takumi suggested Ikoma focus on a different area, which proved successful. However, when Aragane Station fell to kabane, Ikoma was forced to field test the Tsuranuki Zutsu on the nearest kabane. When he managed to lure one inside his home, he attacked it with the Tsuranuki Zutsu. It worked, successfully piercing the kabane's heart cage, but it had one fatal flaw: it required a point-blank range in order to function, which nearly cost Ikoma his life.

## Usage

The Tsuranuki Zutsu is a close-range weapon. A combination of high pressured steam injected into a cartridge of gunpowder creates a needle-like explosive reaction that can bore through both cage and heart of a Kabane with ease, although at the cost of its nearly nonexistent range; the gun has to be fired at point blank, something that few people dare attempt and cost Ikoma his humanity. Ikoma, the main user, is forced to use the gun at point-blank range in order to pierce a kabane's heart cage. He slams the tip of the barrel against the kabane's chest, over its heart, and pulls the trigger. Any farther away and it is unlikely the gun will pierce the cage. This could prove fatally dangerous to any human user, as Ikoma is often repeatedly bitten by kabane before he manages to kill it.

The Tsuranuki Zutsu uses a custom form of ammunition Ikoma calls "jet bullets," which may or may not involve iron nails. It is currently unknown as to whether Ikoma utilizes actual nails or simply needed the metal to create his own jet bullets. Jet bullets, according to Ikoma, produce more penetrating power than an ordinary lead bullet.

Unlike the steam guns wielded by the Bushi, the Tsuranuki Zutsu is miniaturized to the point that it does not require the portable backpack engines needed to use a steam gun.

## Modifications

After Ikoma lost his right arm, he welded the gun to the stump of his right arm and operated the trigger with his left. In *Battle of Unato*, it was removed and a prosthetic was installed in its place, allowing Ikoma to wield it normally again.
Momoya

**Momoya** was a Bushi serving at Aragane Station.

## Personality

It is unknown what kind of personality he had, but before he died, he showed loyalty to Ayame.

## Plot

### Aragane Station Arc

While defending from the Kabane, one of them grabbed his gun and pulled him down, where the Kabane devoured him.

## Abilities

* He was skilled with a gun, due to him being a Bushi.

## Trivia

* Due to episode 2 being delayed in Japan- a censored version of the episode was accidentally released early in China. The Chinese subtitles were then translated into English. While the episode was seen "on time," Momoya's name was incorrectly subbed as "Peasant-chan" and quickly became a joke amongst fans.

## Synopsis

The older brother Mumei serves is Biba Amatori, leader of the Hunters - a special division dedicated to hunting Kabane. However, while the people praise Biba as a hero, Ikoma does not trust him.

## Summary

Mumei introduces Biba Amatori to Ayame and he reveals he is Mumei's "big brother" in name only and that he is no longer considered the shogun's son. Ikoma tells Biba he knows him as the one that told Mumei the weak must die. Biba then invites them inside the hayajiro to talk, but on his way there he stops to help out with some train repairs and Ikoma decides to help too. Meanwhile, Uryuu seemingly attacks Ayama and Kurusu, but he was just killing a spider. Biba tells Ikoma that he isn't casting anyone away, but trying to save them, just like how Mumei decided to save herself by fighting the Kabane.

Kabane had been led to the station and they attack it. Biba hen leads his hayajiro outside of the station and deploy his troops, easily destroying all Kabane. Mumei and Horobi, another Kabaneri, team up to take on a Wazatori Kabane who was using two other Kabane as shields. Enoku emerges behind Biba telling him he can still serve him, but Biba kills him as he had seen through his betrayal, which Ikoma sees and gets angry. Meanwhile, Sahari deals with the other men that were plotting Biba's assassination with Enoku. Biba offers Ayame, Kokujou to accompany Koutetsujou to Kongoukaku, which she accepts.

Ikoma speask with Takumi and tells him he believe that Biba had turned Mumei into a Kabaneri for his own purposes and feels the presence of Kabane in the front cars of Kokujou. Meanwhile, Biba gives Mumei orders to get Koutetsujou's Master Key from Ayame. Biba then questions one of the men that plotted against him, Hirotsuka, on who's orders he was left to die 10 years ago and the man reveals it was by the Shogun's orders. Mumei manages to get the key, but have been tricked by Yukina, who gave her a fake key. Ikoma goes to the front cars and Mumei is told that if he enters, they will have to kill him. She goes out and reveals that the Kabane are there for experiments and that she became Kabaneri on her own will and refuses to go with Ikoma. As Mumei leaves, Ikoma tells Ayama and Takumi that Biba isn't a hero, as he was smiling when he killed Enoku. Meanwhile, Biba kills Hirotsuka and smiles again.

Yashiro Station

Yashiro Station is most likely one of the mining stations in Hinomoto.

The station seems to be a mining city, as it has a large crane and is much more industrialized than any of the known stations so far in the series; furthermore, the station also features what appears to be a mining tunnel. It was shown in episode five where we learn that the city is overrun with kabane. It is here where the crew of the train first meet the hybrid colony

## Fall of Yashiro

While the station looked to be able to resist multiple attacks from normal Kabane with it's massive walls and heavily armored gates, the fused colony was able to easily scale Yashiro's walls and pour into the populated area of the bottom walls. It is very probable that the Type-48 cannon was used to surpress the fused colony for a short while, before being disabled and discovered by the crew of the Koutetsujou.

While it is unknown how the fused colony came to invade Yashiro station, it is possible that Biba Amatori unleashed the fused colony which would explain the presence of Biba's former "ear".

## Summary

The Koutetsujou arrives at Yashiro Station only to find the station ransacked by the Kabane and a collapsed watchtower blocking the rails, with the alternate route exceeding their food supply limit Ikoma suggests activating the boiler and operating the central steam crane to remove the debris. During the plan Mumei, reeling from her secretive encounter with Enoku, charges into the heart of the Kabane nest in order to fulfil her purpose as a Kabane killer; this clears the way for Ikoma to activate the boiler and partially lift the wrecked tower from the tracks but also awakens the "Black Smoke" that separates Ikoma and Mumei from the rest of the Koutetsujou's crew. The two are rescued from the tunnels they took shelter in and assist the crew in installing a Type-48 Cannon spotted earlier by Sukari which is utilised to defend the fleeing hayajiro and expose the core of the Black Smoke for Mumei to finish it off.

Shino was first seen on the Koutetsujou, sewing clothes when she was approached by Kajika, who secretly gave her two rations of food, due to Shino being pregnant. A bit later, she was attacked by a passager who saw that Shino got two rations of food, but he was interrupted by Mumei, who rushed the wagon after feeling the presence of a Kabane.

That same evening, the Koutetsujou stopped for repairs and so the people could pray for their loved lost ones. There, Shino stayed near the fire praying, but then felt her heart starting to turn into Kabane. At that point she expressed regret and apologized to her unborn child, as she knew she wouldn't be able to give birth to it.

Mumei quickly came, taking two swords from the bushi and stabbing Shino in the heart with them, killing her instantly.

Shino was pregnant at the time of her death, consequently, her unborn child also died.

Kenshou Yomogawa

* Human
* Kabane

**Kenshou Yomogawa** (四方川 堅将,*Yomogawa Kenshō*) was the lord of Aragane Station and the father of Ayame Yomogawa.

## Plot

He is present when the Koutetsujou arrives at Aragane Station early due to less stops as more stations are lost to the Kabane accompanied by his daughter Ayame greeting Mumei and Shimon as his guests, expressing intent for further talks at the mansion and exempting them from the Kabane inspections. As they leave a man suspected to be infected runs off the hayajiro and Kenshou orders his men to stop him, observing as Ikoma protests the paranoid treatment from the Bushi and rebukes the privilege he holds while under their protection once the man is killed. When Ikoma begins to approach he directs Kurusu and the other Bushi to detain Ikoma on suspicion of being a Kabane after seeing the Kabane samples he was carrying while teaching the importance of maintaining order as a Bushi's duty to Ayame.

Later he is seen discussing with Shimon and reacting with surprise when Aragane Station was breached due to a hayajiro overwhelmed by the Kabane rammed into the semi-closed bridge at full speed, realising the station was lost Kenshou set off to secure the Koutetsujou and told Ayame to follow when he gave a signal once it was clear. After not receiving a signal from Kenshou survivors of Aragane Station eventually headed for the Koutetsujou once Mumei had cleared a path. It is later revealed that Kenshou had been infected by the Kabane and was wandering the tracks when he was spotted by Kurusu and Ayame, the former ordering the train to continue on and smash the Kabane into pieces; his broken remains are suspected of causing technical issues later in the Koutetsujou's journey.

## Abilities

As the lord of Aragane Station it may be assumed that Kenshou had experience in leading large groups of people and maintaining order in the station as head of the Yomogawa family that is admired by many. It can also be reasoned that as head of the Bushi there he had some proficiency for combat shown by owning a steam gun that was submitted for repairs by Ayame prior to the station's downfall and when he personally left to secure the Koutetsujou armed with two katanas at his side, seeming confident and unafraid that he would be successful despite the ongoing Kabane incursion.
