Episode 6 “Parts” – Synopsis
After Panda infiltrates the underground Fight Club ahead of the others, Megumi Fushiguro joins him and heads toward the base of operations. However, their mission hits an unexpected obstacle when they are recognized by Kirara Hoshi, a third-year student affiliated with Kinji Hakari.
Kirara, sensing danger for “Kin-chan,” activates a mysterious cursed technique to block Fushiguro and his allies from reaching Hakari. The spell’s mechanics appear complex and unconventional, forcing Fushiguro to carefully analyze its structure while attempting to negotiate.
Rather than escalating the fight immediately, Fushiguro attempts something different—persuasion. His goal is not only to bypass Kirara’s ability but also to recruit Kinji Hakari to aid their cause in the deadly Death Kaiyu.
Will logic and determination be enough to break through Kirara’s defenses?
