Kekkaishi

As the final showdown between Yoshimori and Kaguro continues, Sen enters the battle to help Yoshimori. Sensing that Sen is in danger, Yoshimori instinctively unleashes his Shinkai. Although Kaguro is defeated, Yoshimori loses consciousness in the process, trapping both Sen and himself within his very own Zekkai. Although Masamori and the others arrive, they are left helpless. Running out of time, Tokine makes a rash decision.

Aihi rescues Tokine who was about to fall into the depths of the castle. Aihi takes Tokine into her lab and Aihi's past was revealed. Appearently, Aihi lacks the evil aura that most Ayakashi has because she fell in love with a human. Shortly after Tokine leaves, Kaguro appears in front of Aihi and the two of them engage in battle. Kaguro easily defeats Aihi despite Aihi being a high class Ayakashi. Kaguro says the reason for her defeat was because she became weak from losing her desire to eat humans, but Aihi claims that Kaguro is also weak because he is insecure. In the exact moment where Kaguro is about to destroy Aihi, he senses Yoshimori's presence and heads off to him. Aihi transforms into her plant form and releases her dandelions; one of which makes its way back to the human she loved who is now an old man.

Heisuke, along with Kagumi, corners Byaku. It is revealed that Kagumi was Byaku's dead wife and that Byaku, though no apparent, is actually nine years older than Heisuke. Several flashback scenes occur as Byaku and Heisuke chat and fight (Kagumi does all the fighting for Heisuke). Byaku performed experiments on his wife and in the end she died. This traumatized Heisuke in the past because he loved Kagumi. The Kagumi with Heisuke now is actually a demon he made a pact with. Kagumi deals a crushing blow to Byaku's chest and disables in on the ground. Heisuke walks up to Byaku and asks if he ever loved Kagumi. Upon hearing "I have never loved anyone" from a disabled Byaku, Heisuke uses his cane to end Byaku's life.

Tokine manages to infiltrate Kokubouro by following Shion. Masamori frees Atora and destroys Sakon with ease. As his night troops recuperate, he discovers that both Yoshimori and Sen are missing and that they are both currently in Kokubouro. Yoshimori is restrained by Shion's webs, but his aura repels anything else Shion tries to do to him. Byaku arrives and tries to plant a bug inside Yoshimori, but, he too, was repelled by Yoshimori's aura. Masamori gathers any movable night troops to head to Kokubouro. Matsudo Heisuke, along with his companion Kagami, busts through the ceiling, scares Shion away, and frees Yoshimori under agreement in which Yoshimori must not touch this "white" target. Heisuke and Kagami destroy the castle buildings while Yoshimori heads off to find Kaguro.

Yoshimori leads the trio, Sen and his friends, into a forest where he engages a friendly battle with them. Yoshimori easily overpowers Sen's two friends, but Sen manages to sneak right behind Yoshimori. However, at that moment a purple aura surrounds Yoshimori causing Sen to back away. Toshimori plays shougi with Masamori. Masamori finds Yoshimori in his special training ground and informs him that Kaguro is not someone he can deal with and that his goal should be to protect Karasumori. Meanwhile, Sakon prepares for an assault on Karasumori.

Taking Tokiko's words to heart Yoshimori decides to put aside everything to be able to train. With a few words with a shrine priest Yoshimori takes some time to train with a few local crows. After Yoshimori decides that he has done well, he has a chance to put his new found strengths to the test when Karasumori is invaded by quite a few shady characters.

It is now Kokuboro's turn to research the mysteries of Karasumori. Lead by the mysterious Hekian, with an ability called Thousand Eyes, a group of ayakashi, including Gagin's second in command Sakon, seek to find out the legitimate master of Karasumori. Yoshimori and Tokine try to regain some normalcy in their day to day lives.

The fight continues with Yoshimori, Tokine and Shishio fending off a hot headed Gagin. The only chance for relief is for Shishio to transform into his full form, breaking the taboo once again. Though the Kokuboro army is forced to retreat, the Karasumori gang gets delivered a devastating blow.

While Shishio's egg is confusing him more and more, Kokuboro makes preparations for a full scale war. A large Ayakashi attack on Karasumori is coming, and it's coming fast

Yoshimori, Tokine and Shishio are fighting in Karasumori while Kokubouro takes action against Matsudo Heisuke, the scientist that was helping Shige-Jii, trying to figure out what human skin are the Ayakashi wearing

Masamori entrusted Yoshimori, who wants to help Shishio with the tale of Shishio's past. Yoshimori is troubled with what to do and even Tokine can't help him, so he goes for a direct approach

Yoshimori found a way to get out of the magical square, and is facing four Ayakashis. Yoshimori thinks of a plan to erase them but when his plan goes bad, Tokine gets taken as a hostage. Meanwhile, Shishio, who is almost lost in his anger, is fighting the 5th Ayakashi who seems to be just playing.

Masamori gets promoted to seat 7 of the mysterious council of twelve, the elite leaders of the Urakai, but he needs to prove what he's worth. While at home, Karasumori and Yoshimori tries to help a dead cat pass on.

A very popular boy comes to meet Tokine in school. When Yoshimori sees them leaving, he follows them together with Gen, who is suspicious of the boy.

A new transfer student shows up and destroys a shiki disguised as Yoshimori. Yoshimori senses it and wakes up from his nap on the roof and tries to find Gen. Tokine and Yoshimori find claw marks on the wall outside along with the remains of Yoshimori's shiki. Gen encounters Tatsumi and senses that he has special powers. He begins to interrogate him but then leaves him alone. Later at night, Tokine and Yoshimori met Gen at Karasumori.

An ayakashi disguised as a human sends three ayakashi to Karasumori and has then run around the place before allowing them to run amok in order to gather information. Yoshimori attacks one of them and it becomes angry and the observer eventually gives the signal. They gather together but Tokine destroys one of them making the other two angry. They combine and are empowered by Karasumori. Eventually Yoshimori and Tokine destroy the ayakashi and they send for clean-up help. But Madarao and Hakubi notice the human scent changing into an ayakashi scent and Yoshimori jumps to the roof to investigate finding the spy.

Yoshimori is in a god's dimension and finds Uro-sama's bed to be a giant ball covered with vines and trees. He jumps inside and sees a box and restores it resulting in the plants to be blown away from it and the bed to be even bigger than before. Uro-sama becomes happy and jumps into the orb which causes Yoshimori to feel abnormal and rejected by everything in the dimension. He perseveres and tries to ask Uro-sama about Karasumori before the god falls asleep. After a while he is at his limit and is thrown out of the orb and dimension by Mamezo.

Yoshimori and Tokine called for help cleaning up and Masamori, Tokiko, and Shigemori show up. Yoshimori is annoyed the next day after being lectured for being reckless and gets even more so after thinking of the past. Later Yoshimori confronts Masamori about why he is watching him from afar.

The family says farewell to Masamori as he leaves once again. Yoshimori asks Masamori to go bury Kouya's fur on his home mountain. Yoshimori promises to himself that he will surpass Masamori.

Yoshimori thinks about being the legitimate successor and gets in a bad mood when he doesn't understand why he is the successor and not his brother, Masamori, who is more skilled than he is. At Karasumori, Yoshimori and Tokine encounter an ayakashi that stinks so bad that Hakubi and Madarao's sense of smell is greatly disrupted. Masamori watches from afar and is able to find the ayakashi with his partner, Kurohime, but sits back and watches how Yoshimori handles it. The ayakashi's shell is very hard and difficult to break and just before its blades were going to slice Yoshimori, Masamori interrupts its attack and destroys one of its blades. He then creates a 5 layer kekkai surrounding the ayakashi and destroys it. Masamori reveals to everyone that he will staying for a few days, much to Yoshimori and Madarao's unhappiness.

The teacher is actually a person with special powers but they still sense an ayakashi. It turns out that he was possessed by a parasitic ayakashi and they destroy it.
