and observe Rekka in training. Kouga noticed Rekka’s defensive stances need work and it triggered her to attack him; Kouga defeated her to prove her limitations. At night, Kouga traveled around the city before Zaruba senses Shion as she was about to deliver Karma another victim. Shion was made and she discards the woman to escape Kouga. Tracking Shion to Crime, Kouga and Zaruba found a barrier erected around the club. As soon as Kouga found the barrier talisman and destroyed it, Rekka appears and confirms that someone betrayed them as the barrier is the work of a priest. Once inside, Kouga finds Shion luring Rekka to Karma using the image of Rekka's father. Before Rekka could fall for the Horror's trick, Kouga shatters the mirror; Karma enters a round mirror as Shion spirits it away with Rekka in pursuit. Kouga battled with Kurusu, who enabled Karma to forcefully control some of the patrons into fighting Kouga and Rekka. As Rekka knocks the possessed humans unconscious, Kouga cracks the mirror to break Karma's hold on the humans. With no one left to hold their enemies off, Kurusu assumes his true Horror form to overpower Kouga and Rekka. When Kouga attempts to bring his armor, Shion had the Garo armor sent into Karma’s mirror world. Without Garo, Kouga couldn’t stop Kurusu from harming Rekka. However, Akaza and Shiguto arrived with an army of shikigami ninja to drive the Horrors off. After the battle, Rekka finds out Akaza was the traitor and wanted to hurt him; Kouga intervened to prevent her from harming him. At the shop, Kouga recovers from his injuries. Rekka felt deeply guilty and self-loathed what she has become; Kouga explains by keeping her alive, many others will be saved by her hands some day. Kouga finds Akaza and learns that Karma exploited the priest's desire to see his dead wife and daughter; he was given a mirror that allows him to see his loved ones once again, in return for concealing her. Although he knew that was only an illusion, he could not bring himself to toss away the mirror and intends to accept the consequences of his actions. Taking the Rubis Sword from Akaza to prevent him from going on a suicide mission, Kouga intends to regain his armor. Eventually, the team finds Karma’s new location, but they aren’t aware it’s a trap. Akaza joins the team
