Episode 14: BEST FRIEND | DURRUN by Aito Kitazaki

Episode 14

Yu-ri utters the name Sonny Griffin — to Kikyou, a name she cannot ignore, and the very source of her distrust in the justice upheld by the TOKYO Government. Yu-ri denies any tie to the man and swears to reclaim TOKYO’s lost age of glory, yet Kikyou dismisses his cause and moves to seize the Fuser. Then, as exhaustion breaks Ten’s blade form, the clash unlocks a buried memory — ten years ago, cast into a valley of bones, a broken boy was kept alive by the one friend who never left his side.
