Onmyou Taisenki Season 1, Episode 52: Among the Passing Seasons

The Fallen God! The Byakko Kogenta

Riku Tachibana seems to be an ordinary middle school student with the worries of what club to join. His unique feature is that he makes odd hand gestures, and he does not know what they really are. His childhood friend Momo-chan goes through the first of many denials of liking Riku as more than just a friend. Riku decides to ask his grandfather what the gestures mean, and soon after, he finds himself making a contract with the Shikigami, Byakko no Kogenta.

Fight Between Dragons and Tigers

One night, Masaomi explains to Riku about what Toujinshi and Shikigami are, and why the Ten-ryuu and the Chi-ryuu are currently fighting. It seems that the Chi-ryuu is interested in opening the Fukumaden Kimon, a gate that leads to demons and a power that could destroy the world, and the Ten-ryuu are trying to keep the Fukumaden Kimon closed. Masaomi also says that when Toujinshi lose their Shikigami, the Toujinshi lose their memories. Later, when Riku decides to clean up the damaged shrine, Yuuma confronts him, asking him about the Head of the Ten-ryuu. Then, his little brother, Souma, sick of Yuuma being on Mikazuchi's side, steps in and attempts to fight with him. However, Yuuma and Rangetsu end up fighting against Masaomi and his Shikigami, Seiryuu no Kibachiyo.

Before the training could actually begin, Riku and Kogenta must fight against another Earth Style Toujinshi, Gonpachi, and his Shikigami, Souka no Raiden.

The Fighting Heart

One night, Kogenta decides to teach Riku a new In as proof of their trust towards each other: Hissatsu - Hundred Ghost Obliteration Attack. As described by Kogenta, it focuses all of his remaining energy into one powerful blast. After the attack, however, Kogenta would be unable to move, and if the enemy survives, then Kogenta would be completely defenseless. Kogenta takes this matter lightly, but Riku thinks that he's just being selfish. Now, Riku tries to find ways to get stronger as a Toujinshi (while leaving his Drive with Kogenta stuck in it in his freezer). Soon after, Riku is challenged by Izou Kenzaki, a rank-5 Chi-ryuu Toujinshi, and his Shikigami, Kurogane no Fuji. Riku, with a more serious (and scary) look of determination on his face, and Kogenta fare well against Izou and Fuji. But when Izou starts to use cheating methods, Riku must choose whether or not to use the new In that Kogenta taught him.

She begins Riku's "training," but then a Chi-ryuu Toujinshi named Chihaya busts in and summons his Shikigami, Kaede no Kurenai. When they are about to finish off Riku and Kogenta, the girl reveals herself as Nazuna, a Toujinshi of the Ten-ryuu, and summons her Shikigami, Hiiragi no Horin.

Secret of The Ten-ryū Ruins

Open.Zero Drive

Riku has regained his memories and is reunited with Kogenta. He also meets Yakumo again, who tells him about the Fukumaden and the past. There once was a man named Utsuho, and he had the terrible power to control the Youkai. He used the Youkai to attack Kyoto, the capital city at the time. The Toujinshi used their power to fight Utsuho and eventually won. Utsuho and the Youkai were sealed in a dimension far away. The Toujinshi split into two factions: the Ten-ryuu to guard the seal and the Chi-ryuu to destroy the Youkai that leaked out of the seal. The place where Utsuho is sealed is the Fukumaden. Soon after, the Jin-ryuu Toujinshi Taishin and his Shikigami, Magahoshi, return and attack the group. Riku runs away, and Yakumo chooses to fight him alone. With his new Zero Drive, Yakumo seems to be making short work of Taishin.

Northeastern Opens

Riku and Souma head for the Chi-ryuu base, the main building of Mikazuchi Products. Along the way, Souma gives Riku some backrgound information on Mikazuchi, the Head of the Chi-ryuu. He has made a great impact on Japan with his projects and mergers. Mikazuchi is also an expert Toujinshi, and it is said that he uses the power his Shikigami to control his "luck" in the market. When they enter the building, Souma is left behind while Riku heads up to see Mikazuchi. Riku meets him and asks what was the crime that the Ten-ryuu committed a thousand years ago. Mikazuchi explains that the Ten-ryuu were not guarding the seal of the Fukumaden. Instead, they were taking provisions and resources from the Fukumaden. Thus, the Chi-ryuu had suffered many casualties from the Youkai that were coming out of the unguarded seal. So, the Chi-ryuu attacked the main Ten-ryuu base. Then, Riku and Kogenta fight Yuuma and Rangetsu once more atop of the building.
