Tougen Anki episode 7, titled The Beauty is a Beast, saw Tsubakiri and Momokusa face off against Oiranzaka. Oiranzaka asked Kougasaki to warn others while he planned on holding them off. Unfortunately, the two Momotarou "defeated" him.

Soon after, while the Oni managed to help the patients escape, they were trapped. Amidst this, Tsubakiri instructed Momokusa and the Ugly to annihilate all Oni except for Shiki Ichinose.

Elsewhere, Kuina Sazanami started showing her true nature as she obsessed over Rokuro Kiriyama. She not only protected him from one of the Ugly but also coddled him.

Tougen Anki episode 8, titled The Unreliable Hero, might resume focusing on Kuina Sazanami. Given that the previous episode ended with another Ugly entering Rokura's room, Kuina might again fight one of the entities using her Blood Eclipse Release.

Amidst this, fans can also expect to finally see Rokura Kiriyama in action. While he was constantly anxious, he was bound to have some secret power-up, allowing him to fight strong enemies.

Additionally, the anime episode might also focus on Shiki Ichinose and Mei. With Yomogi Momokusa looking for Shiki, fans can expect the two to face off against each other in the upcoming episode.
