“ | In the distant past, in a quiet mountain valley far from human lands, there was a spear. This spear, which pierced the darkness and drove away demons, was called the Beast Spear. The fate of two souls will intertwine with the Beast Spear, and it shall bring them together. Their names are Ushio and Tora. | ” |

1 | The Fateful Meeting of Ushio and Tora (うしおとらとであうの縁 Ushio Tora to Deau no En) |
July 3, 2015 | 1 |
---|---|---|---|
Fourteen-year-old Ushio Aotsuki is annoyed about his father Shigure always lecturing him about monsters and yokai every day. After a brief fight, his father mentions that he's going on vacation for training and asks Ushio to air out the books in the storehouse. While Ushio is doing so, he trips and notices doors to a basement that he's never seen before. After pulling the doors and breaking them open, he falls into a basement where he finds a gigantic tiger-like yokai pinned to the wall with the Beast Spear which Ushio's father kept telling him about. The yokai asks Ushio to pull out the Beast Spear, as he's been trapped there for 500 years, but Ushio refuses once the monster says that the first thing he'll do is eat Ushio after he's freed. After Ushio returns from school, his childhood friends, Asako Nakamura and Mayuko Inoue, visit his house in order to get Asako's notebook back from him. Ushio then notices a bunch of fish and insect-like yokai floating around his friends and has no choice but to free the yokai in his basement to get rid of them. However, after pulling the Beast Spear, the yokai betrays him, causing Ushio to wield the Beast Spear with rage and awaken to its power. Ushio's hair grows extremely long and the yokai recalls the same feeling he had when the samurai from 500 years ago pinned him to the wall. Since he fears the spear, the yokai listens to Ushio and together they kill the fish and insect yokai. After the battle, Ushio names the yokai Tora because he looks like a tiger. Tora then states that he'll be haunting Ushio because he plans to eat Ushio eventually. |
