Episode 7 titled "Kagan & Shakuyaku" explores the interactions between humans and Katawara ("spiritual beings"). Shinsuke demonstrates a natural affinity for connecting with the Katawara, highlighting the possibility of peaceful coexistence between the two groups. A pregnant woman, Okou, seeks shelter, and the Katawara agree to protect her until her delivery, despite their unfamiliarity with human needs.
Jinka, who wishes to become a Katawara due to his longevity, reaffirms his commitment to this transformation in order to be there for his companion throughout her entire life. Meanwhile, Shinsuke trains with Kagan in swordsmanship, learning to communicate with his weapon as if it were human.
The peaceful atmosphere is disrupted when Douren and Resshin, members of the Dangaisyuu sect, appear and confront Jinka, an apprentice of the Phoenix Killer. A battle ensues, with Jinka and Douren engaging in a fierce exchange of blows, each showcasing their combat skills. Despite the intensity of the fight, there is an underlying respect between the fighters.
Tragically, the episode ends with Shakuyaku sacrificing herself to protect Okou and her newborn twins from an attack by Resshin. Before her death, she expresses her happiness and gratitude to her companions. The twins are named Kagan and Shakuyaku, in honor of their protectors and the bonds formed through these events.
