forest and see the wolve-like people and are beat
up by the wolves. Ikkou hears the battle cries in
his changer. He tells Isshu to fight together,
because this will be his last fight. Isshu
doesn't want to hear this. |
 |

not goig to die. Isshu arrives and tells him he's
going to be okay. The foe tosses Ikkou's |
|

chest hatches into a scorpion. |

away. Yousuke shakes Ikkou as he is on the floor.
He pulls Ikkou up, cradles his head and clings to
his chest. Ikkou doesn't respond. |
|
He shakes Ishuu and tells him
they are going to fight together. He lets him go.
The meteors rain in. Mugensai is shocked from
what he hears from Gozen in his phone. |
Comments:
- The mysterious Gozen-sama is mentioned
once again.
- The way the wolves eat people's shadows
is very graphic. This is probably the
reason it was not used in "Ninja
Storm."
- It seems the Kasumi brothers are staying
in a temple similar to the one belonging
their Nano-Sensei from Episode 28.
