Tougen Anki episode 8 recap

Tougen Anki episode 8, titled The Unreliable Hero, revealed Rokuro's backstory. While he was not the bravest person, he felt invincible when he was with his first crush, Lulu. Unfortunately, Lulu was sick and later died after Momotaro killed the village's Oni doctor. This incident saw Rokuro become anxious and unable to fight when faced with danger.

Later, the anime saw Rokuro fight back against his anxiety to defend Kuina Sazanami. He unleashed his Blood Eclipse Release and defeated the Ugly. Elsewhere, Shiki Ichinose confronted Tsubakiri Momomiya, and Yomugi Momokusa confronted Jin Kougasaki.

What to expect from Tougen Anki episode 9?

Tougen Anki episode 9, titled Momotaro Spirit, will most likely focus on the two main battles - Shiki Ichinose vs. Tsubakiri Momomiya and Jin Kougasaki vs. Yomugi Momokusa.

As seen in the anime, Tsubakiri was very interested in Shiki. Hence, he planned on capturing him rather than killing him. Therefore, fans can expect to see a battle where Shiki might try to deliver mortal blows while Tsubakiri tries to capture him.

As for the Jin vs. Yomugi fight, fans can expect the two to focus on defeating each other. However, there is a good chance that either Kyouya Oiranzaka or Naito Mudano might arrive to assist the Momotaro.
