Meanwhile, Yumi tells Kristine to get help while she distracts the monster. Ren makes it to the school and transforms into Kunai. He fights the Shadow Monster and then earns the ability to use the Kunai blade. Yumi notices that the monster has a human shadow. Yumi points that out to Kunai, which distracts him and causes the monster to knock him down. The monster escapes. Yumi thanks Kunai for saving her and they then hear people coming as Kunai vanishes. Later, Ren is reading the Kunai history book while Koda is building something. Ren finds information about Shadow Monsters, and it says that they are created when evil shadows possess humans some form of evil in their heart.

Later, Koda shows off that he has put Aki’s soul in his new invention, a frog robot similar to Ren’s animal spirit. Koda says that until they find a way to revive him, this will be his temporary body. Aki is upset about being a frog, but Yumi decides to make him her pet.
