In every one of their incarnations, the Seven Protectors of Tomeoki Village...
...have guarded the heart of the Demon King and the sacred sword.
Hagun, one of the protectors who...
...holds significant power...
...turned his attention towards the Ten Warriors.
Jutto was helpless against his overwhelming powers...
The coldhearted Hagun took the lives of innocent people.
Hagun challenged and lost to the Ten Warriors, who were fueled by their anger.
However, this was but a prologue to a new battle.

I Listen to the voices in my heart.
I can trust only one thing...
I'll use what you taught me as strength to live tomorrow.
The city is rapidly Channing.
I have to hurry to catch up with it.
Where is my real self?
I still don't know what I really wanted to learn.
I've noticed something has changed since I met you.
I want to find the meaning in the life of a nameless flower.
What you taught me still exists in my heart.
It' s finally here.
Go.
What's the matter, Genki?
A temporary measure.
But these little ploys make things more interesting.
Impressive, Master Doll maker.
Gensho Kinomiya, you were the perfect cover.
You possessed my doll!
How dare you!
Gram pa!
Kaede, get out of here.
I can't just leave you here!
This is my duty as a Guardian.
Our family duty is now yours.
Gram pa!
Get out of here, Kaede!
It's no use!
Can you run from my familiars?
Fuin High School
First, solve the equation in the parentheses.
That was a fraction.
I just told you.
I can't do it anymore!
My brain is going to explode!
Let's take a break, Futaba!
A break, Kazamatsuri?
You only have three days until the exam.
All you need to know is how to count money!
Who needs math!
You' re so moody.
Forget about him, Futaba.
He's the one who's going to have to pay.
If he flunks, he' ll realize how sorry he is.
It might hit home if I was the only one...
...but I have a buddy.
Segu didn't show up for any of the final exams.
I wonder if he's still training by himself.
I think he's still upset about...
...what happened at Tomeoki Village.
All he cares about right now...
...is getting stronger.
I'm scared.
Huh?
I feel like he's pulling away.
What are you saying?
If Jutto gets stronger...
...it means we have more fighting power.
Futaba, what's wrong?
Why us?
Huh?
Why were we chosen as the Ten Warriors?
What do you mean?
It is the destiny of those born as Warriors.
I want more than some excuse!
I didn't choose to be a Warrior.
Futaba...
What about that boy?
No sign of him today.
It's been a week.
Vice Chairman...
Who is this boy, Jutto Segu?
Why do you care so much about him?
That's what I want to know.
The chairman of Seiundan, Kiraizumi...
...why is a man such as yourself so concerned with him?
I guess the battle at Tomeoki Village really got to her.
Someone she knew died right before her eyes.
You can't blame her.
Futaba still hasn't accepted it yet.
Accepted what?
The fact that she is a Warrior.
She doesn't feel right about fighting.
She never pulls the first move when fighting the Kyouma.
Futaba is too nice.
She's more normal than normal girls.
But that doesn't mean that it's okay.
Huh?
So long as she is in denial of her destiny...
...she won't reach her true potential.
This is not what I wanted.
Gram pa, what am I supposed to do?
Are you okay?
Are you hurt?
What's wrong?
It's the Kyouma!
Hurry, run!
Hamitaka Magic...
Lasso Attack!
Are you a Demon Fighter?
Huh?
Who are you?
Meiki Fighting Form 1 7, Glow Ball!
Damn it.
I missed again!
Not bad, Jutto.
What are you doing here?
I came to see how your training was going.
If you've come to insult me, leave.
You're so unfriendly.
Why should I be nice to you?
And you're so immature, too.
Are you picking a fight?
Jutto, your eyes are full of hate.
Are you still upset about Mika?
If only I was stronger...
...Mika might not have gotten killed.
Jutto...
Hate does give you strength...
But if you lose the will to live, your life isn't worth living.
No matter how hard you train, nothing will come of it...
...if that's your attitude.
Shut up!
No one can tell me what to do.
Not even you.
You made him leave.
I guess I pissed him off.
Anyone would be mad if you spoke to them like that.
Jutto makes me want to tease him.
Kokono...
I'm kidding.
He doesn't seem well.
I just hope his anger doesn't make him violent again.
Wow!
How do I look?
It looks good.
We are the same height...
It fits you perfectly.
Really?
I've always dreamed of wearing cute clothes like these.
Huh?
Gram pa didn't want me to stand out.
I see.
I wasn't even allowed to go to school.
...but that's part of the destiny of a Guardian.
Destiny...
It's strange, isn't it?
A 1 6 year old with dreams like these nowadays.
No, but I think I understand.
Huh?
Nothing!
Miss Futaba...
We're the same age, just call me Futaba.
And I'll call you Kaede.
Okay.
Oh yeah, here...
For me?
Are you sure?
It's not much...
...but I'd like you to have it.
Thank you!
Hey, stranger!
I've been looking for you.
Hanawa?
I've been staking out your house for three days...
...but neither you nor your father came home.
What do you want?
There was a murder three days ago at Kuroncho.
I have some questions about the deceased.
A murder at Kuroncho?
Your father and Kyoshiro didn't tell you anything?
What happened?
Maybe I shouldn't have told you.
Just tell me, will you!
Okay, I'll tell you!
Three days ago, an old man named Zensho Kinomiya...
...was brutally murdered.
His body was torn apart.
His head was crushed.
It's a mystery...
...but there's no way a human could have done this.
Did the Kyouma do this?
Kinomiya was not only a famous doll maker...
...he was also a very accomplished magician.
His goal was to create a double.
His dolls were so perfect...
...it was impossible to tell if...
...if they were humans or dolls.
But here's the interesting part.
This man had another side to him.
You're a Demon Fighter, so I'm sure you've heard of...
...the Onmyou Gogyo Scriptures.
It's a secret spell to protect yourself from harm.
That's right.
Zensho Kinomiya was a descendant of Onmyou.
He was one of the Guardians who protect the town's life force.
A Guardian?
The Guardians protect...
...the five natural elements of the world.
But why would the Kyouma want to kill a Guardian?
That's the question.
Today, the bodies of two other Guardians...
...Shingo Domon and Soichi Kaneyama, were found...
They were brutally murdered also.
What?
I have a feeling something horrible is about to happen.
That's what my gut tells me.
What about the other two?
There are two more guardians left, right?
They' re going to be next.
We don't know where one of them is...
...and the other is a real pain to get to.
Just tell me where they are!
It looks like your wound is healing.
Are you saying I've worn out my welcome?
After betraying your friends...
...do you think you have the right to speak that way?
I am just a black sheep anyway.
Hagun.
Why do you insist on fighting your destiny?
It's all to satisfy my ego.
That's all.
Foolish man.
But I do not dislike that foolishness.
Just don't let your life go to waste.
I will protect this with my life.
Those girls...
Are you sure he lives here?
Yes...
There's a sword smith named Gosuke Hi-en.
What should we do?
There's no one to ask for directions.
Hagun?
What is he doing here?
Hamitaka Magic! Immobilize!
You think you can hold me back with that magic?
What are you doing?
Stop!
Who would have thought l'd run into a Warrior here?
Where are the others?
Were you trying to find me so you could catch me?
We' re just looking for someone.
Who?
Gosuke Hi-en.
Gosuke Hi-en?
Why do you know him?
Sorry to keep you waiting, Gosuke Hi-en.
The secret arts of old are going to be reawakened.
You will be our sacrifice.
Do you think you can get rid of me that easily?
My powers of magic are not that rusty.
Genki, he's yours.
Do as you please!
The Guardians are being killed by the Kyouma?
There are only two left.
One of them is Gosuke Hi-en.
Just don't let your life go to waste.
Damn that old man!
Playing me like that!
Segu!
Jutto Segu!
You again!
Hagun, we're going to settle this right now!
Meiki Fighting Form 1 5...
Light Cannon!
Koppa 1 5...
Shadow Cannon!
I don't have time for this right now.
Koppa 1 7...
Shadow Storm!
Meiki Fighting Form 1 7...
Glow Ball!
He got away!
Kaede!
Are you okay?
Your life is about to be extinguished.
I will finish you.
Old man!
Hagun?
Let go of him.
And if I refuse?
I will rip you to shreds.
Then let me make you even more furious.
Old man!
Genki, finish that man!
Take this!
Koppa 1 6, Shadow Attack Wave!
Two left.
Genki was made as a warrior doll.
Hagun.
I don't think you can defeat him.
Huh?
Hagun!
That's Gensho's daughter.
This is good.
I will end it all right now.
I can't believe she came to me.
Now I don't have to look for you, Kaede.
This woman killed my grandfather!
So you're the one whose been killing all the Guardians.
What do you want?
Why are you killing them?
Supremacy of the Demon World.
The Demon World...
My name is Tsukumo.
If you get in my way...
...I will kill you.
Don't take me lightly!
Meiki Fighting Form 1 7...
Glow Ball!
So you're the Meiki Magic user I've heard about.
But you cannot kill me with your powers.
You won't be talking big for long!
I see.
So you're going to make this fun for me.
Let my will be divided and a double created!
Hamitaka Magic, Protection!
Segu, hurry, come inside.
Segu!
So you weren't a worthy opponent after all.
Even though this is just a dream...
...smoke is floating in the air.
You stand on an orange pedestrian bridge...
...and look at me suddenly.
Your look is so gentle.
Will you jive me this pleasure again someday?
Hey, I wanna jive something to you, too.
Can I stay here?
Although there are other places where...
...I can make your eyes more brilliant.
