The tensions rise as Roroku Yusoichi's motives for abducting the Fire Hunter's children are disapproved. Roroku sees Hinako's safety at risk if Koushi fails his mission and takes her hostage. This fear is confirmed when Koushi and Roroku encounter Yusoichi's brutal interrogation tactics, which involve torture and violence.

It becomes clear that Koushi's journey with Yusoichi is a wake-up call for him, as he begins to see through the false reality presented to him by Yusoichi and the capital. The brainwashing system employed in the capital grows more evident, for the truth presented there is not the truth found elsewhere.

The encounter with Yusoichi also reveals the existence of powerful spiders that spy on the capital through tree roots. Koushi and Roroku witness a bloody attempt to extract information from one of these spiders. The spiders have come into possession of an ancient fire that can be used without risk of injury, posing a serious threat to humanity.

Meanwhile, Touko and her companions have safely arrived in the capital just in time to help Shouzou. But trouble looms as Touko encounters Kira near Koushi's old house. Kira's motives are unclear, but it is evident that she is investigating Koushi for some reason.

All in all, this episode was packed with tension and intrigue as we learned more about the dangerous world of the Fire Hunters and their enemies.
