Daemons of the Shadow Realm (2026) s01e06 Episode Script

I guess I'll try this one.
Go!
What? This'll need some adjustment!
Gabby-chan-san,
are there any assailants over there?
Something attacked me.
When did these get inside the manor?
Sounds like you're dealing
with something, too.
Yes. We're currently battling
Daemons I've never seen before.
Well, take care of them already.
I'm currently injured and
have limited mobility.
What?! You're useless!
Isn't Asa with you?
You'd better protect her!
Yuru-san and his Daemons
are taking care of us.
Those guys who kicked my teeth in?
Those bastards.
You'll be perfectly fine, then.
Then I'm free to do what I want, right?
Be my guest.
Got it.
Gobble.
Y'know…
I feel bad about leaving
you all by yourself.
Gobble.
Lucky you, Gabriel.
You get an extra large late night snack.
Gabby-chan-san seems to be fine.
Good. I'm going to stop those.
You can do that?
If I do, can I hug you?
No. You'd probably break my ribs.
Sorry if I wreck the manor, Jin-san.
I'll bear the brunt of the master's rage.
I'm also sorry
if I wreck the manor, Jin-san.
You can bear the master's rage yourself.
This is obvious discrimination!
Brother, could you distract the white one?
Don't tell me what to do. But I've got it.
What?
What?
Asa-san?!
Asa-chan?!
She vanished.
Her brother, too? What did this thing do?
It's running—
I dunno what happened,
but if they can make people disappear,
they might know something
about Asa-chan's parents.
You can damage the manor,
but don't kill them
or their master, Haruo.
Yes, sir.
Haruo, we're surrounded by enemy Daemons.
I need you to handle them, Jin-san.
What?!
I'll be defending Haruo.
What?
Ow…
The master, Natsuki, and Fuyuki
aren't even back yet.
Where's Hagure-sensei?
Sleeping after a deadline.
If you wake him now, he'll kill you.
No reinforcements, then.
Which means we'll just
have to do our best.
Ai-chan, Makoto-kun.
Brother! Brother!
Jin-san! Haruo-san!
Sakurazawa-sensei!
Ai-chan! Makoto-kun!
Torty! Bunbun…
I'm alone…
You're not alone.
My brother's Daemon?
Yeah. I'm the right half.
It's too dark to see anything.
I can't see anything either,
but I'm right by you.
Anyway, this is true darkness.
It doesn't even get this dark
in Higashi Village.
I can't even see
what's right in front of me.
I smell an unpleasant sweat.
Are you afraid of the dark?
I hate being alone in the dark.
You smell like you're around here.
Don't worry. I'm right next to you.
You're not alone.
Brother! Where's my brother?
Is he somewhere inside this space?
I don't smell him nearby.
Aren't you his Daemon?
Why aren't you helping him?
Left's probably with him.
They'll figure something out.
I followed you because I wanted to talk.
With me?
When we first met in the village,
you suddenly attacked me.
And you haven't said a word to me
since I arrived at the manor.
You know I'm your natural enemy,
don't you?
When you countered—no, uh… canceled…?
Canceled?
I'm sorry.
I don't know how to describe it.
Neutralized.
Yeah, when you neutralized my Break,
I remembered.
Father said Right and Left can stop Break
and Seal from getting out of control.
Then that makes things easy.
I am your natural enemy.
Nice to meet you, Asa.
Which means if my brother
acquires the power of Seal,
she'll become his natural enemy.
You're here, Left?
This space is totally empty.
What even is this place?
Who knows?
I've lived a long time, but I've
never experienced this before.
There seems to be a ground,
but this bright white
is making me lose my sense of balance.
While flying earlier,
I ran into a… ceiling?
Above us.
This feels like we're inside
a spherical barrier made by those Daemons.
This is a barrier?
Any enemies around?
I don't sense or smell anyone besides us.
Okay. Help me adjust my aim, Left.
Right now? Here?
I don't know what's going on,
but I don't want to waste time.
Father told me to always
keep my tools in good shape
so I'd be ready to fight anytime.
This confusing situation
doesn't scare you?
Scare me?
Nothing's made any sense
since the village was attacked.
I've gotten used to
being confused by everything.
Poor kid.
Stand there and raise the machete.
That'll be my target.
Like this?
Yes.
Try to dodge them!
But then I'd have to
go pick up the arrows.
Yeah, but still!
Like I said,
I'm made of stone. Don't worry.
I'm sorry!
Something's not right.
Shouldn't you be worried
about your sister?
What? Her?
She was swallowed by the black barrier
at the same time we were.
Doesn't she have the power of Break?
If these are barriers,
then there's nothing to worry about.
What is it, Torty?
We're out!
Ah, so that was their barrier.
Welcome back, Asa.
Thanks.
And now…
I'm going to Break your contract
with your current master.
Asa.
You held onto this after complaining
about how unsanitary it was?
Sorry it's old blood.
You're getting a new master.
Now, I'll be your master.
Wow, they're so friendly.
I wonder what they're called.
Good boy.
We'll be spending some time together.
I need you to do something
for me right away.
Did you swallow my brother?
Spit him out! Spit him out!
Spit him out right now!
They're out!
Brother!
Wait, wait! They're on our side now!
Explain!
What? Uh…
Those Daemons who trapped us inside
those weird spaces are on our side now.
Since they can instantly
make people vanish,
their master might know something
about Asa-chan's parents.
So we're going to go catch them.
Okay. How?
I have another request.
Will you tell me where
your previous master is?
She's making Daemons sell
out their old master.
Teenagers these days really are scary.
Seriously? What an overpowered ability.
I can't believe those idiots
sold me out so easily.
Where are they? It's too dark to see—
Get him, Right.
Got it.
- Okay.
Who else are we catching?
I just got to witness
how amazing my brother is firsthand.
I'm so glad to be alive!
Jin-san.
My apologies for the commotion.
Non-combatants should remain
hidden in a safe place
until we've taken care of this.
Yes, sir!
That's it.
Keep walking.
We'll blow you up from below.
Okay, job's done.
I don't recognize him either.
Nice work, Jin-chan.
I killed about five groups of wimps
and didn't recognize any of them.
None of them have been
particularly strong.
Right?
Another stranger.
Ow, ow, ow!
Those dentures got my Daemons!
I surrender!
An arrow?
Was that Asa's brother?
Where's he shooting from?
Man, that's scary.
If I take him head on, he'd shoot me dead
before I ever got in range.
They got the others,
so I'm calling it quits.
I'd rather not get hurt.
I should've known
a hastily thrown together
team wouldn't stand a chance.
I'm outta here.
You can't be serious.
I took this job because the pay was good.
Now I'll have to find new Daemons again.
Good work, Jin-san.
That was really tough.
Sorry for dragging you
into this, Mr. Big Brother.
That sure was some way
to entertain your guests.
We appreciate your help.
I didn't do it for you.
I did it to find Mother
and Father's trail.
Asa, you good?
Shitty brat.
Shrimpy brat.
I'll admit I'm a brat,
but I bet I'm older than you.
Liar!
Show some respect to Gabby-chan-sama.
I let you go then,
but I haven't forgiven you.
Rein it in.
Brother and his Daemons saved us.
Yeah, I know.
I can tell.
You caught a bunch of them.
What are we gonna do with them?
We'll have the master decide
once he returns.
For now, let's extract all
the information we can.
Yeah.
They said they'd pay me a fortune
if I captured the twins.
I don't know who they were.
Shall we go with a classic?
It's like a boulder! Oh god, it hurts!
What group put you up to this?
Was it a Kagemori?
I don't know what group!
I really don't know!
It was a one-off job!
I just met everyone on my team
for the first time!
They're probably just average,
ordinary Daemon Wielders!
You don't know? But someone
- My bones!
must've been calling the shots.
- You're breaking my bones!
It was some guy with a beard
wearing a camo jacket!
I think I took that guy out
in front of the gates.
Sorry.
Next question.
Do you know the whereabouts
of the married couple
that fled Higashi Village?
They're the twins' parents.
They vanished from a flight to Okinawa.
I don't know anything about them!
Anything might help us find them.
I said I don't know!
I don't know either.
Neither do I.
Do you know anything?
No leads on our parents.
Sorry, Brother. I know you came
hoping to find something.
Anyone else got questions for them?
I do. Could I ask you something?
I'll tell you anything.
Just get this turtle off me.
Tell me their names.
Their names? What?
What do you call them?
Stuff like "hey" and "you."
You should give them proper names.
But they're like livestock.
You gotta show them who's boss
so they don't get carried away.
I'm not trying to be friendly
by giving them names.
Gabby-chan.
I'm gonna go change.
I see.
No wonder your Daemons
sold you out so easily.
Daemons have feelings, too, mister.
If you know anything,
you'd better tell us while you can.
This was just some job I picked up!
- Same!
And I've named my partners!
Now, what should we call you?
Don't. I'm just your temporary master.
Don't get your hopes up.
Sorry. Could you make
yourselves a little smaller?
So cute! They're so cute!
You said assassins attacked
you one after another after.
Has it been like this
since you left the mountain?
I guess, but this was a lot of guys.
It was a close call.
I'm glad you were here. Thank you.
I let my guard down
because I'd been safe in here.
I should be more careful.
No wonder she's jaded and
scowls all the time.
Your right eye…
Did they take that from you, too?
I guess you could say that.
No, I don't want to lie to you.
You see… I died once.
I was killed
by a Higashi Village assassin.

I felt it penetrating
every pore on my body,
piercing my skin and stabbing
directly into my flesh and organs.
