Where to watch Ishura Episode 8

Ishura Episode 8 and all the latest episodes of the anime can be streamed exclusively on Disney+, as the platform is the only one to license the series for the international audience. Under the Disney Bundle, viewers in the U.S. can also catch the latest episodes of Keiso’s Ishura on Hulu.


A brief recap of Ishura Episode 7

Due to the constant troubles Lithia was facing from the outlaws, Taren requested Aureatia to send a patrolling unit, and along with them, Soujirou and Yuno also tagged along. The commander of the unit deemed it to be some kind of mockery, as Taren didn’t want to lay her weapons down. He presumed this act was just to humiliate them in some way.

Suddenly, two outlaws, Shalk and Higuare, were gradually approaching the patrolling unit. While Soujirou engaged in combat with Shalk, Higuare took down all the troops within a few seconds, leaving Yuno alive as he needed her to ride the horse to a safe place.

Elsewhere at the Mage City, Harghent paid a visit to Hidow to offer him support, which the latter arrogantly denied. Eventually, Harghent revealed that Alus the Star Runner was on his way, and Lithia stole the Cold Star from the Great Labyrinth Nagan. Suddenly, without any declaration of war, Taren attacked the Mage City using the Cold Star.

Harghent decided to stop Taren’s wyverns on his own. Meanwhile, Hidow contacted Nihilo and ordered her to destroy Lithia. He further offered her equal rights with the minian race and official citizenship of Aureatia if she successfully managed to eradicate the city.

Nihilo was approved to reclaim her spider-like machinery. After merging herself with the machine, she headed out to Lithia without wasting any time.


What to expect from Ishura Episode 8

Ishura Episode 8 is titled “The New Demon King War.” The episode will resume from where it left off in the previous episode, continuing the ongoing war. While no preview teaser or pictures have been revealed as of now, given the events that transpired in the latest installment, Nihilo is anticipated to showcase why she is called the revenant weapon of war.
