Ushio and Tora (うしおととら)

And then that man disappeared far away with the Beast Spear.

I had no idea that happened.

Tora-chan...

So the one who brought Hakumen

into this world was also the first to use the Beast Spear...

What a strange fate.

In my trip back through time,

I saw a lot of people using the spear.

Each time its user turned into an azafuse,

it would go to another user.

As long as there were monsters to fight,

someone always needed the Beast Spear.

Then the spear sucked their lives out of them,

and they became azafuse,

with their hatred for Hakumen still in their hearts.

Onee-chan, that's weird.

That's strange, right?

Yeah, Hakumen needs to be defeated, but, but...

The fact that people who've used the Beast Spear

aren't freed, even after centuries, is too cruel!

You are absolutely right!

That spear was created from my brother's hatred.

A single person's hatred has brought misfortune to so many.

I know this.

I know this, and yet...

All I could do was watch.

Ushio and Tora

Episode 35 "Hope"

Where are we?

A port in China, a thousand years after the spear was made.

Look. Hakumen no Mono is on that ship that's heading to Japan.

Hakumen has decided which country to destroy next.

Damn it...

Curse you, Hakumen...

Are you headed to the next country to kill many innocent people?

Just like you burned down my village...

Beast Spear,

I cannot wield you any longer.

But you must follow Hakumen!

I could not defeat Hakumen, but the next...

The next may be able to do it!

And that's when I'll fight again, too.

So that no one else will have to cry because of Hakumen no Mono.

So that everyone can live happily...

When I saw that, I thought

that the Beast Spear might not be wrong.

But... But you know...

The answer is sad, but let's discuss it later.

Onee-chan...

The only thing we can do right now

is make sure no one else must endure the same misfortune.

Even if the Beast Spear is wrong,

as long as it has the right wielder...

That is right. As long as the wielder has a true heart...

As long as his hope is strong...

That's...

The Beast Spear's shards.

Onii-sama!

There's light over there, too!

Even after you were crushed to bits,

you protected me.

You know, I was dreaming.

About...

About my precious partner...

And then I realized that I'd forgotten something.

I met my mom, went into a rage,

and despised Hakumen.

But that's not good enough.

I can't defeat Hakumen like that.

That was the only thing I should have been thinking about.

I don't want everyone to die!

It's amazing, even after it's been reduced to shards.

But I haven't...

lost yet, either!

Mom! Mayuko!

Kirio! Jie Mei-san!

I'm going to go after Hakumen,

and fight!

Believe in me, everyone.

I'm not going to lose to Hakumen no Mono, no matter what!

Mayuko-san, we're going to bind Hakumen with the barrier.

Right.

Kirio-kun,

once all of this is over, let's go to school together.

Jie Mei-san, we have to end this fight.

Will you help end it?

I've seen a lot of things, so...

Eh, it'll be easy with us here.

Kuin!

Jie Mei-sama!

Yes.

We're going to locate Hakumen.

Right.

But... But...

Tokyo —

Delicious...

How delicious the fear of others is...

— Tokyo: Special Disaster Management Office Headquarters —

62% of the citizens of Tokyo have reached the emergency shelters.

We have received reports from other cities, as well.

Next, we just need to get the people on ships and away from Japan.

Commander! The ships can't leave the ports!

What?!

There's a typhoon!

A typhoon big enough to engulf all of Japan,

with winds up to 50 m/s and moving at 30 km/h,

is moving north by northeast.

Why must that happen at a time like this?

Does God not intend to let any of us survive?

Touno —

So it has begun...

The final battle between Hakumen no Mono

and the humans and monsters, with their very existence at stake.

Are you going to go?

Even though everything in this country is currently filled with despair?

Yes.

I've thought of my own way to help.

What you're trying to do is dangerous, Saya.

I want to stop you.

Not every door is closed to us.

Because the omen

is already upon those who know of it.

Tokyo —

What are you guys thinking?

It's dangerous outside! Please go back!

Let me through! They're saying Japan is going to sink!

Dad! Mom!

Asako!

Asako!

We were so worried about you!

Thank goodness you're safe!

A JASDF officer named Atsuzawa-san gave me a ride on a helicopter.

Anyway, what's wrong with everyone?

We managed to take shelter here,

but we're up against a flying monster, right?

They don't feel safe in here, so they're trying to get outside.

Like hell we can just sit here and wait

for that thing to come and eat us!

Hey, stop!

Hey! S-Stop!

Asako!

I can see through the ceiling...

Something's flying?

Shooting stars? How pretty...

Why...

Why did I...

forget about him until now?

Ushio...

It's Ushio!

What...

What...

have we been doing?

Were we trying to fight Hakumen no Mono?

Impossible! You mean, without them?

Without the one who wields the spear and the golden monster?

Aomori —

Everything is going as I have planned.

The humans and monsters fear me,

and I consume that fear, making it my own strength.

I become stronger. I become bigger.

There is nothing I cannot do now!

What's that? Something is chasing me.

It does not fear me.

Does something like that still exist in this country?

I see... It's you.

You fool. I will destroy you in a heartbeat!
