His father refused and asked him instead to listen carefully to his final request: that Shiki become strong enough to lost to neither the Momotarou nor his Oni blood. Taking advantage of Shiki's confusion, Samidare prepared to land a killing blow but was instead met by Tsuyoshi, who slashed his torso but was fatally stabbed through the chest at the same time.Ī Momo Corp helicopter arrived to retrieve Samidare and, as he made his escape, Shiki attempted to carry Tsuyoshi away and find medical help. In a berserk state, he relentlessly attacked Samidare before eventually burning out. Seeing his father defeated, Shiki's frustration and rage triggered the awakening of his Oni powers. After he spontaneously produced a cleaver-like sword from black mist, Shiki learned that Tsuyoshi was also a Momotarou and was once Samidare's superior, but his strength had deteriorated with years away from the battlefield and he was cut down by his opponent. Unable to shake their pursuer, Shiki was captured by Samidare and Tsuyoshi was forced to engage in battle. As they made their escape, he revealed that Shiki is an Oni being hunted by the Momo Corp and explained the history of conflict between Oni and Momotarou. For harbouring an Oni, he became a target for extermination by the Momo Corp and so he became he civilian, evading pursuit by quietly running a liquor store and raising Shiki without telling him about his heritage.Īfter Samidare Momoya, a member of the Momo Corp, discovered their location, Tsuyoshi attacked him and attempted to flee with Shiki. Tsuyoshi was a former member of the Momotarou Corporation but, after finding an orphaned child, he adopted Shiki Ichinose - a child of Oni blood. He is deeply protective of his son and wants to see an end to the conflict between Oni and Momotarou. Much like Shiki Ichinose, Tsuyoshi has a boisterous attitude and a vulgar way of speaking. He has spiky, dark-colored hair with a beard and wears a yukata. Mudano notices that Juuji, Kuina and Rokuro are also close to the summit and expects them to finish quickly, so he turns his attention to Jin - carrying an unconscious Ikari - and the potential ambush they face from Innami and Nekosaki.Tsuyoshi is a middle-aged man with a wrinkled face. He mentions that a certain someone would be happy for her and, as Mudano watches on from a distance, he thinks about how important her growth has been. When they reach the summit, Oiranzaka is waiting to treat Shiki's fever and tells Homare that she has a different air about her compared to when they were at the base of the mountain. Homare swallows her self-doubt and tells Shiki that he can always rely on her. He jokes that he was attacked the first time he met Homare's sister and saved the second time, and says that he's glad both of them are there with him. With his guard down, it only takes Homare's titan a single swipe to launch Nekosaki off the cliff.Īs the blood titan carries Homare and Shiki towards the summit of the mountain, Shiki opens his eyes and tells her again that she's amazing. Nekosaki is surprised to see Homare's blood titan on the battlefield and remarks that there's no way she will be able to control such a high level of blood. Sumire promises that she will be at her sister's side from now on instead of standing in her way, and tells her to become strong and reliable for all the people she now has around her. She tells Homare that she only ever held resentment for their father, and that she blames herself for always stepping in on Homare's behalf and never allowing her to become independent. In her subconscious, she finds herself in an empty room with Sumire, who approaches and begins yelling at Homare for ever having believed that her sister was mad or held a grudge against her. Homare briefly hesitates to summon her blood titan but, recalling Shiki's words about her sister trying to protecting her all this time, she gathers the courage and bites her thumb to trigger blood release.
