8 (Ikki Tousen [Gum C])

Hakufu's bathroom brawl against the ever-creepy Kannei continues and, just when it looks like her fighting career has gone down the toilet, Saji Genpou lends a hand...which then gets impaled. Saji kicks the crap out of Kannei, and Kannei makes a run for it. As many Toushi are taken down, several new characters show up, including a female archer who dresses like a Holly Hobby doll, and attacks Shimei in a graveyard. Hakufu, Koukin and Ton face a dangerous new threat, which Koukin fights alone, so Ton can escape with Hakufu. Unfortunately, they escape into the path of an oncoming truck, though they escape death (and the battle scene) by riding underneath it. Some very important baths are taken as well. Hakufu and Koukin are staying at Saji Genpou's residence. Kannei unexpectedly attacks Hakufu, but Saji protects Hakufu. Saji explains that the reign of the evil spirit Sousou has started. Meanwhile, Gentoku follows Unchou into Hakone's sacred mountain called Tougenin, and there Gentoku meets a girl who received the magatama of Shokatsuryo Koumei. In a different place, Kakuka is suddenly attacked by a mysterious girl, whom she addresses herself as a first year Seito Gakuen student, Bashoku Youjyou. Kakuka seems to be defeated, and he is hospitalized. Kakuka was attacked because, he was the individual who set up the Battle of Red Cliffs. Back to Hakufu and Koukin: the two are on their way to school when they meet up with Ton. Suddenly, the three are attacked by Toutotsu. Ton escapes with Hakufu, leaving a wounded Koukin behind. Shimei visits Ryofu's grave, but is suddenly attacked by a girl who is skilled in archery. Shimei is wounded, and it looks like she is in trouble.
