Chapter summary :
Qin:
As Mouten is cut the Zhao general says his sword got in the way and that he's still alive. His soldiers go in to finish it and Shin realizes he'll be too late so he calls out for the Gakuka to save him but the Gakuka are held back by the Zhao. As Mouten is about to be taken out Aisen arrives to the surprise of everyone around them. As Aisen fights off the Zhao his unit also arrives. Ten sees that Aisen chose to come to Mouten rather than leave the entrapment. Aisen gets to Mouten as he calls Aisen an idiot for not following his orders to push forward. Aisen says it's because if he advanced he wouldn't have been able to save Mouten. Mouten says if he didn't advance then they wouldn't be able to leave Riboku's grip. Aisen says there's no meaning of leaving Riboku's trap if Mouten dies in the process and says that he left the Moubu army so that he can protect Mouten. That he didn't leave because of Moubu's orders but made the choice for himself.
In a flashback Mouten is 10 years old when Aisen first met him. Mouten comes over to the Moubu soldiers and asks them to help his father despite how harsh he can be. As they kept meeting each other Aisen developed a thought that he wanted to fight for Mouten one day. He raised his fighting abilities by fighting alongside Moubu so he can be of use to Mouten one day. He then says there would be no meaning to joining the Gakuka if Mouten were to pass away as he tells the soldier to take Mouten to the back for a bit. Aisen then says he will get them out of Riboku's trap through the center and is faced with Fuon from Seika who says he will give his compliments if Aisen is able to get even halfway through.
Rikusen warns Aisen of Fuon and the Seika general comes to say if Mouten has moved to the back then they just need to kill him at the back after they take care of Aisen at the front first. Fuon says now there's no way he'll even get halfway to halfway. Rikusen tries to get ready to support Aisen even a little bit while Aisen says there's no need to worry because even if he's bleeding and is cornered he will show the strength of Burning Aisen of the great Moubu army. A HSU soldier tells Shin that it looks like Mouten is safe for now and their lieutenant is facing the enemy now. Denei yells out that it's not time to be distracted by the enemies on the side as they are struggling against their own enemies in front of them. Shin is struggling to hold off the attack from the Seika trio.
Zhao:
Riboku's soldiers are praising the Seika army for pushing back the Qin further and further and says there's no hope for them of leaving Riboku's trap. Riboku and his soldiers then notice a part of the HSU that is pushing out deeper into the Zhao.
Qin:
Ten sees that even with Aisen joining there's not much progress in the middle of the two armies so she looks to Kyoukai's side which holds their only chance of getting out of this and the HSU HQ are all shocked by how far Kyoukai got. Kyoukai is leading her unit past the Zhao as her soldiers are struggling to keep up, including Rei. A soldier asks if Rei's okay and she complains that it's really tiring staying in the priestess dance with a sword while on a horse and wonders how Kyoukai can keep going for so long and push forward to the point where Rei can't even keep up with her. She then wonders if Kyoukai went past a limit. Kyoukai's soldiers yells out asking Kyoukai to slow down because she's beginning to push forward on her own. As Kyoukai begins bleeding out of her eyes and coughing up blood her soldiers are all calling out to her and everyone sees Kyoukai break out of the enemy line on her own.
No break next week!
