A brief recap of Sword of the Demon Hunter episode 9

Sword of the Demon Hunter episode 9 started off with Jinya and Somegorou Akitsu engaging each other in combat. Although Somegorou maintained an advantage over Jinya throughout the fight, Jinya's multiple demonic abilities, alongside his innate ability to wield a sword, helped him gain victory while cornering Somegorou in the process.

Although Somegorou expected Jinya, a demon, to kill him, Jinya assured him that he just wanted to get some answers. Eventually, Jinya reveals Natsu's current condition, asking about a cure and the actual reason behind Natsu's altered psyche.

Somegorou Akitsu then reveals that the hairpin that Natsu had bought were creations of the first Somegorou Akitsu, and it had developed a spirit, similar to how shikigami or familiars are developed. Oddly enough, Natsu's increased affection towards Jinya resulted from Jinya holding Sadanaga's Kogai from episode 9, which was created alongside Natsu's hairpin, essentially making both of these objects into siblings.

Ultimately, Jinya reunites the hairpin and the Kogai, breaking the spell cast upon Natsu. The episode then ends with a flashforward into the present time, where Jinya reaches the "Jinta shrine" in present-day Kadono.

Sword of the Demon Hunter episode 10: What to expect?
