Directed by: Kazuya Kamihoriuchi
Summary
With the Igarashi siblings clashing with one another, Weekend tries to tell Sakura and Ikki to show no emotion to defeat Giff, but Ikki intends to win Daiji over. Sadly, with Daiji deeply believing Akaishi and Giff's morals, Ikki's attempt may be easier said than done...
Tropes
- Bait-and-Switch: For a moment, it seems that Tasuke is about to abandon Hikaru to Akaishi, only for him to jump in and shove Hikaru out of the way at the last minute, taking the blow instead.
- Cooldown Hug: Hana gives one to Sakura to get her to calm down and Akaishi gives one to Daiji for reassurance.
- Due to the Dead: Akaishi decides to hear out a dying Tasuke, even going as far as to ask him about his real family's fate and asking him if he came to love Hikaru as a son.
- Fatal Family Photo: A variant where the photo is shown after the character is mortally wounded.
- Hope Spot: Ultimate Revi gains the upper hand in his matchup with Holy Live, and Ikki offers to welcome Daiji back into the fold, only for the latter to reject his attempt at reconciliation.
- Juxtaposed Halves Shot: Right before Ikki and Vice fight Daiji and Vail, there is a shot of the brothers' faces in this manner.
- Killed Off for Real: Tasuke gets impaled by Akaishi after taking a blow meant for Hikaru in his stead.
- The Reveal:
- Akaishi reveals his monster form in this episode, easily manhandling Jeanne, Over Demons and Aguilera.
- Tasuke's motivation for joining Weekend, avenging his real family after they were killed by a Deadmans attack, is likewise revealed. Unfortunately for him, it happens just as he dies.
- Taking the Bullet: Tasuke dives in the way to take the fatal blow for Hikaru.
