Daemons of the Shadow Realm (黄泉のツガイ)

The Story So Far

A twin boy and girl born on a day where day and night are equal

will someday command Daemons.

That's the legend of the village in the east.

When twins sundering night and day are born, the world will be torn apart.

Four hundred years ago, a great war tore the nation in half.

Daemon Wielders were involved behind the scenes.

The people of Higashi Village kept the twins inside the village

so they could eventually use their powers.

Realizing their children were in danger,

their parents attempted to flee with the twins,

but they could only take Asa, the younger sister, with them.

The twins possess the ability to gain special powers:

"Break" and "Seal."

Break, the power to forcibly unravel anything, and its pair...

Break

Seal, the power to forcibly close anything.

Seal

I didn't choose to be a chosen twin,

but now, I'm following the path I chose.

I'll get my own hands dirty.

After gaining the power of Break in the outside world,

Asa attacked the village to take back her brother.

Move!

Amidst the chaos, we were awakened for the first time in 400 years.

Our new master is hands off.

Yuru, these are your Daemons.

Asa is being sheltered by... the Kagemori clan, was it?

Their clan broke away from Higashi Village over irreconcilable differences.

Instead of working with their clan,

Yuru chose to search for his parents on his own.

I won't run or hide.

I don't have a reason to sneak around.

I don't care if you're from Higashi Village or the Kagemori clan.

If you want my head, come and get it.

And it would seem the Kagemoris aren't a monolith.

I died once.

We're better off without Break or Seal.

Times have changed.

We share their blood. It's our responsibility to put them to rest.

Yes. The village that produces the powers of Break and Seal can continue to exist.

We shouldn't deny their very existence.

It seems other forces are getting involved as well.

We must be careful.

Old Higashi Village Trailhead

Yes, I followed him part of the way.

I didn't follow him too far.

The shaman should be in Higashi Village by now.

Good work.

I just need to know he's in the village.

Wait there.

Hey, Ivan.

Go pay them a visit.

Got it.

Let's go, Shokyo.

What? You mean, "Please come with me, Lord Shokyo."

Remind me, which of us is the master?

Don't give me any lip.

I'll fillet you, monkey.

Daikyo, say something.

Don't act like you can't see me.

You two can't even move without a master.

Why are you so haughty?

Shut up! You can't do anything without us, monkey.

Who do you think's keeping you fed, huh?

I am, lazybones.

Screw you, monkey!

God, you're annoying! Just go already!

I'm paying you a fortune! Go earn your pay!

Yeah, yeah.

There we go.

I'll be back in a bit.

Man, that's creepy.

Episode 13 Daikyo and Shokyo

How does this look?

Yeah, that's good.

What? You're making weapons again!

We weren't busy.

All right. Then I'll give you something to do.

What's that board?

A television.

A smell emission?

...with a 0% chance of rain in the afternoon.

Mostly Sunny Skies Tomorrow

Scattered Afternoon Rain

We're looking at another dry day.

There are concerns that Western Japan may see a shortage of water this summer.

National Weather

Next, the national weather forecast.

Clear skies are expected in Okinawa...

I can't visit Mother's hometown, but what about you?

Who, me?

Your mother's from... Echigo, right?

Ethiopia. It's a foreign country.

You don't want to go there?

Well, it's really far away.

You can't go back to your own hometown, right?

It's not safe for me to go back to Higashi Village.

But I left a lot behind.

I wish I could go back.

Wh-What is this?

Mr. Shaman.

Wait here. I'll be right back.

Hey, monkey.

In the keep. I sense Daemons.

The keep, huh?

They say idiots and something like high places.

It's idiots and monkeys.

It's idiots and smoke, idiot.

Who are you calling an idiot?!

Sounds rough.

Tell me about it.

I don't recognize him.

Yeah.

Who are you?

How'd you get—

Hey—

Not them.

What a pain.

Not him either.

Nope. Nope. Nope.

Not him.

Not him either.

That was close.

Who are you? Are you with those other guys?

Everyone was on their guard.

How'd you get in without breaking the barrier?

That face...

You're the Daemon that was bound to the prison.

You're the fake Asa, aren't you?

And if you came to save this woman,

she must be your master.

You're bold for someone whose master's been taken hostage.

If she's a Daemon, her other half must be around here somewhere.

Where is it? Where will it come from?

Monkey, your feet!

Ow...

Don't you think that was a bit much, Shokyo?

What? It only cost a leg to save your life.

You should be on your hands and knees thanking me.

I can't with this leg.
