Episode 11 of Ayaka is titled "Yukito, Jump!" The episode begins with a flashback to a casual meal scene where Jingi eats fish meant for dinner, showcasing his carefree nature. The scene shifts to the aftermath of the battle against the fire dragon, where Yukito and his friends are concerned about the outcome. Haruaki and Aka, both students of Yanagi, discuss the uncertainty surrounding Yukito's fate as the water dragon.
When the battle ends, the corruption of the fire dragon disappears, and it seems harmony has been restored. However, Jingi is found lying on the ground, unresponsive. The Disaster Prevention Agency confirms that the Ara-Mitama has been contained and the island is safe. Despite the victory, the mood is somber as they realize Jingi has passed away.
The episode then transitions to Jingi's funeral, attended by his friends and Momoko, his caretaker. The friends from the bar where Jingi always hung out reminisce about him and note that he recently settled his tab, as if he knew something would happen to him. Aka and Haruaki have a heated argument over their differing philosophies and the sacrifices they've made, including Jingi's.
Momoko finds a series of notes in Jingi's room, which Aka identifies as belonging to their master, describing a spell to revive the water dragon. They realize that Jingi had been training for this spell ever since their master's death, fully aware of the sacrifices it would entail.
The episode takes an unexpected turn when Yukito has a vision of Jingi's soul being swept away by a stream of ley energy. Yukito realizes that Jingi's soul is still present and decides to use his newfound powers as the water dragon to save him. The episode ends with Yukito preparing to jump into the ley energy stream to rescue Jingi, setting the stage for the next episode.
This episode deals with the emotional aftermath of the battle and the sacrifices made, while also offering a glimmer of hope for Jingi's rescue. The audience eagerly awaits the next episode to find out whether Yukito can actually save Jingi and what this means for his own fate.
