Recap of Episode 4

Episode 4 escalated the drama as *Maki*, a central character, confronted her family’s dark history and the destructive legacy of the *Zen’in clan*. The episode begins with Maki entering her family compound, facing abuse from her brother, *Naoya*, and receiving a harsh warning from her mother to avoid the vault—a directive she ultimately disregards. Inside, she discovers her twin sister, *Mai*, gravely injured as a result of their father’s actions.

In a pivotal moment, Mai sacrifices herself by bestowing Maki with a cursed sword and transferring her own cursed energy to empower Maki. This act enables Maki to embrace her potential and pursue her mission to dismantle the Zen’in clan. The episode reaches a climax as Maki confronts her father, Ogi, and ultimately kills him, initiating a violent rampage against the clan’s guards.

Maki’s vengeance intensifies as she takes on powerful sorcerers sent to stop her, showcasing her formidable abilities. The confrontation with Naoya becomes particularly brutal, featuring rapid exchanges of blows. Despite Naoya’s speed, Maki’s agility allows her to counter and decisively defeat him.

In a tragic yet impactful conclusion, Maki finds her mother and, in a shocking turn of events, she cuts her throat. Before succumbing to her injuries, Maki’s mother kills Naoya, leaving Maki to carry her sister’s lifeless body out of the compound as she continues her quest for revenge against the Zen’in clan.

As fans prepare for Episode 5, they eagerly anticipate how the story will unfold next, particularly after the intense events of Episode 4. The show has garnered significant attention, with the earlier episodes earning an impressive **$40 million** globally during their theatrical release in late **2025**. This success reflects the strong following of *Greg Akutami’s* manga series and the high expectations for its animated adaptation.

For those wanting to catch up, all previous episodes are currently available for streaming. The gripping narrative and character development promise to keep viewers engaged as the season progresses.
