One morning, at the end of one of their usual arguments, You Keika learns about the life and death relationship between a Youmeishi and their spirit shadow, as well as the weaknesses of this from Tanmoku Ki. Along the way, Keika learns about the Tanmoku family's treasured sword (the Rakugetsu sword) as it is being taken to the family mausoleum in preparation for the pledging ceremony. He then finds himself under attack by Shito Ritsu who bears a strong grudge against Tanmoku Ki. When he soul is about to be broken apart Keika reaches out for the sacred sword...
Wielding it, I thought I could end him 
with the sword's spiritual energy.
بتلويحه هكذا، ظننتُ أني أستطيع
أن أنهيه بالطاقة الروحية للسيف
Als ich es so geschwungen habe, konnte ich
ihn mit dem Dämon des Schwertes …
Sentí que podría derrotarlo
con la energía de la espada.
Je l’ai blessé d’un coup d’épée !
La brandivo come se pensassi davvero
di poterlo finire con l'energia spirituale della spada.
Segurando a espada assim eu pensei que pudesse
 acabar com ele com a energia espiritual dela.
