A 'getting more powerful' episode where Rumina's
grandpa comes back and trains Rumina, Chelsea, and Ginnosuke. They train
for about a week. Rumina learns the Asagiryu secret technique.
Chelsea learns how to fight without her Gravity powers. Ginnosuke...runs.
In the end, they go grab a treasure Rumina's family have been protecting for
generations, the Kogarasu Maru.

Shoju's Rating: 7/10 - Grandpa's perverted ways of training Chelsea were very
entertaining for this pervert. The Kogarasu Maru looks like a very nice
sword. Though this anime reminds me very much of Flame of Recca, it looks
very promising. If they show killing, it would totally kick ass.

Rumina, Chelsea, and Ginnosuke go to the
'Underground.' When they pass through a gate, the Company releases a genetically
developed guard dog to kill them. Chelsea manages to bury it under some
rubble and arrive at a small village. Some kids annoy Rumina, and he goes
after them. The guard dog, Cerebes, soon appears and endangers the
kids. Rumina uses his special technique with the new sword and cuts the
dog in half. It disappears and the kids blame Rumina for bringing the dog
from the surface.

Shoju's Rating: 4/10 - Nothing special. First use of the Asagiryu secret
technique on a creature. There's still a little hope he'll use this
technique on a human. :)

A Company
assassin, named Lon, gets two kids to hide Rumina's
sword. Rumina goes look for it, while Lon
attacks Chelsea during the simulation of night.
Chelsea can only defend while Lon throws steal beams
at her. Ginnosuke goes to the electrical
controls and turns the lights back on. Chelsea
sees that he is throwing the steel beams from above,
so now she knows she doesn't need that much energy to
deflect them. The kids find that they made a bad
mistake and go look for Rumina to give him back his
sword. They show Rumina a shortcut back and
surprises Lon. Rumina uses his techniques and
blows Lon away. Chelsea collapses and Ginnosuke
gets lost. Lon runs away and runs into Ginnosuke.
He wants to take out his frustration on him, but Ginnosuke
is saved by some guy that uses fire. Back at the
Company HQ(I think), Ruri gets her bodyguard to eat
with her. She remembers the few times she eats
with Rumina, Chelsea, and Ginnosuke and she begins to
cry.

Shoju's Rating: 7/10 - Average episode. The last
scene with Ginnosuke looking at the fire dude makes me
think they're going to 'like' each other...

Ginnosuke meets the man who saved him, Sui.
He sees that Sui is using a very powerful gun and want to learn more about
it. Ginnosuke then follows Sui after he goes on his way. Sui finds
out that he wants to have the gun so he can help his friends. Sui explains
that it is called a spirit gun and shows him the power of it by shooting a
waterfall. The waterfall turns to ice and Ginnosuke asks if he can have
the gun. Sui gives him a list of the parts needed instead and goes off looking
for them. Sui decides to help him search. When all of it is
collected, it is built and tested on a big waterfall. When the spirit gun
is shot, the waterfall completely freezes. Ginnosuke goes back to the
village where Chelsea and Rumina are resting. Rumina had found only
Ginnosuke's glasses by some rubble. When he told Chelsea, she said that he
can't be considered dead. Rumina starts to get into an arguement with
Chelsea when Ginnosuke walks in. Neither recognize him at first.
Rumina says that when they first met, he had worn glasses so has never seen him
with out glasses. The three of them then go off to search for Ruri.

Shoju's rating: 6/10 - A small moment where Chelsea is more gentle towards
Rumina is the only think that was nice in the entire episode.

Rumina, Chelsea, and Ginnosuke are still trying
to find the Company HQ. They find themselves at the edge of the
'Under-globe.' Here, we are introduced to Sharuma Rufis, an 'ice' user.
She begins to attack Chelsea, but Ginnosuke whips out his Spirit Gun. He
shoots it, but all that comes out is confetti and a letter from Sui. In
the letter, Sui tells Ginnosuke that the gun is too powerful and must be
reconfigured for Ginnosuke so he will keep the gun until then. The water
user Rumina fought at the school, also appears and after Rumina uses 'Violent
Wind' twice, the floor beneath him crumbles and he falls.

Shoju's Rating: 7/10 - DAMN IT! GINNOSUKE WAS REALLY GOING TO BLOW SHARUMA
WITH THE GUN! Ginnosuke is a killer after all...LOL. This episode
left on a nice cliff hanger. TU 11 might actually get a 10/10 if the title
of the next episode holds true to its words.

Rumina tries to attack the water user from above,
but he is able to hold back 'Violent Wind.'
Rumina then slowly hovers down using the wind.
Chelsea figures out why the surface, she and Shruma
had been fighting on, was slippery. Sharuma
was sprinkling small pieces of ice around the
floor. Chelsea then creates a gravity ball to
collect the ice and beats Sharuma. Rumina is
still fighting the water user guy. He tries to
attack Rumina with Suibakusatsu, but Rumina reads
the water's wind and breaks the attack. Rumina
attacks with 'Violent Wind' and knocks the guy over
the edge. Rumina is able to save him, and the
guy tells Rumina about his past. The guy then
makes Rumina let go of him and he falls. He
says that he'll be back, and Rumina goes to check on
Chelsea. Chelsea has re-injured her leg and
Rumina is the only one who can carry her.
Chelsea then starts to fall asleep saying that she
probably used too much energy. She also says
that Rumina's back reminds her of her childhood, and
she starts to remember her past before she finally
falls asleep. Back at the Company, a guy named
Kasshin arrives. He tells the upper-executives
that the domination of the aboveground is near.

Shoju's rating: 9/10 - Bah! The title means nothing.
No one died. Rumina turning red when he had to carry Chelsea makes up for
it though.
