Soul Buster

A golden sky

is stained red

at the hour of sunset.

Get out of here by yourself!

There's nowhere to run!

And...

I refuse to run and leave you here.

Tch... so they're starting to synchronize?

Shuuyu, go!

Great, Shuuyu!

You're moving a lot better!

The spiritual power is increasing, too!

So that's it...

Depending on her lord, she can get even stronger!

Looks like luring us to an open location was a bad move.

Hakkejin! Tou!

Wh-What is this light?

No!

We're locked in here?

Damn it!

We're trapped!

Monkeys must be locked in cages!

Oh no!

Shuuyu can't move around like before!

Gien!

I've trapped her for you.

Get serious.

I can handle the likes of Shuuyu as I am.

I, your lord, shall make that decision for you.

If you're not going to listen to me,

it's back to that empty world for you.

So you're a slave of a stupid lord?

You were once the general of three armies!

It seems you are no longer the Gien I once knew.

A stupid lord?

Then...

How good is your own?

Show me!

Bui

That's right.

This is bad.

At this rate...

I have to do something!

Enough, Gien.

If you kill her, I won't be able to steal her card.

Sh-Shuuyu!

Are you okay?

Yeah.

I'm not done yet.

Come here, Shuuyu.

I'll make better use of you.

Don't make me laugh.

Who would ever join you?

Never!

You're just a card. Don't talk to me like that.

Gien, chop off an arm!

It seems the twilight really does hate me.

Twilight...

This light...

Here he comes!

Get back!

Wait!

I lose!

What? It's too late for that.

I'll give you the card.

So please don't hurt Shuuyu.

Do you know what you're saying?

Yeah.

If I'm killed in battle, it doesn't bother me.

But...

It's the only way.

Very well.

But we'll need Shuuyu to show her loyalty to me,

her new lord.

Shall I have you take his head while I watch?

I can't...

Y-You can't mean to...

In the end, I'm betrayed by my own lord?

Then I'll do what you want,

and chop off your head!

That's right.

You don't want to waste your chance.

Tell me one thing before I die, Chou-sensei.

What is this stuff

about Kentei's heart?
