Uzuki at school, and his powers almost goes berserk again. Frightened and confused at his growing powers, he runs
away only to meet up with Zess who comforts him. As they begin walking, they are attacked by Duras or demons

9 "Scars" June 6, 2010[24]
"Kizuato" (キズアト)
Yuki sees the scar on Shusei’s chest and asks Luka what things he is unable to heal. Luka responds "scars that come
from friends". The others are worried about Shusei because he seems unwell. The police come to Takashiro with a
missing person case: 8 high-school boys are missing. They seem to think it’s tied into the Sleeping Beauty Syn-
drome. Later, Hotsuma walks Yuki home and flashes back to being picked on as a kid. The other kids find out he can
set them on fire and despise him even more. Shusei is his only friend. In the present, Hotsuma finds out his parents
have really abandoned him as they want their payment in exchange for him. Yuki runs to comfort him and sees his
past. Angered, Hotsuma starts a fire. He flashes back to when he tried to kill himself with his fire, only for Shusei to
hold him and convince him to stop. Now, Hotsuma is able to extinguish his fire before it really hurts him or Yuki.

sired boys for herself. The Zweilt find a video left for them asking for God’s Light in exchange for Shusei’s life.
Meanwhile, Ashley tries to get information on the Zweilt out of Shusei, but puts him to sleep when he doesn’t talk.

"Hakanaku Tsuyoku Totoi Mono" (儚く強く尊いもの)
With Yuki’s help, Tsukumo wakes up long enough to warn the others of Reiga. Yuki, Luka, and Hotsuma set off to
find Ashley and Shusei while Takashiro handles things at the mansion before catching up. The three enter Ashley’s
barrier, a suspicious amusement park where her stuffed dolls attack them. Luka takes care of them while Hotsuma
and Yuki continue on. They run into Kanata, who tries to persuade Yuki to forget it and come back with him. Yuki

Opast twins who recovered from their injuries due to Reiga’s power. Meanwhile, Luka is distracted by Fenrir, the fa-
miliar beast of Reiga. Luka, Shusei, and Hotsuma all manage to defeat their respective foes and rush to Yuki’s side as
Reiga aims icicle daggers to kill him. Takashiro appears just in time to shield Yuki. Takashiro and Reiga both use
their ancient books to summon powerful beasts which then engage in a furious battle. Takashiro notices that Reiga
has not fully awakened and thus manages to overpower Reiga’s summon beast, also injuring him in the process. As
Takashiro readies himself to deal the finishing blow, Yuki stops him by pleading for Reiga to tell him that their past
memories were not lies. Reiga leaves after cautioning Yuki not to trust all that Takashiro tells him.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Betrayal Knows My Name
After the end of the brief confrontation with Reiga, Yuki sleeps for two full days due to the shock he received at
knowing that his childhood friend Kanata was in fact, Reiga. While the others worry about Yuki, he busies himself
with house chores and helping around in the mansion in order to forget the pain of Kanata’s betrayal. On the other
hand, Shusei and Hotsuma reconcile with each other, promising that they wouldn’t avoid the other again because of
guilt while Tsukumo and Touko try to confront Luka about telling Yuki of his previous life. As Yuki mentioned that
he would like to remember more about Luka, Tachibana approaches them and informs Yuki of Takashiro’s request
that Yuki visit the Kamakura residence to learn more about the past.
15 "After Determination..." July 18, 2010[30]
"Ketsui, soshite..." (決意、そして…)
Yuki is scheduled to leave for the Kamakura residence with only Luka and Tachibana. While the others want to ac-
company him, they finally acquiesce to Takashiro’s order that only Yuki should go to the Giou main house. Senshi-
ro, a Zweilt-in-training from the main family comes to pick up Yuki and his entourage, making a stop on the way to
pick up his partner, Kuroto, a prodigy in shogi who decided to quit in order to focus on the battle. Arriving at the
main house, Luka tells Yuki that he is unable to enter the residence as certain people wouldn’t want him there due
to him being a Duras. Yuki assures Luka that he is determined to know everything about his powers, the battle and
also of his past life while Luka internally wonders if Yuki would feel differently after knowing about their past. At
the entrance of Kamakura residence, Yuki was greeted by the butler of the Giou main house, Fuyutoki, who is the
older brother of Aya, the one who manages the Twilight Mansion. Yuki was then shown to a room where Takashiro
later enters after completing a purifying ritual.
16 "Frozen Time" July 25, 2010[31]
"Touketsusareta Jikan" (凍結された時間)
Takashiro invites Yuki to accompany him on a stroll through the gardens. Passing through a bamboo grove, Yuki
feels a sense of nostalgia towards the place. When Takashiro winces in sudden pain, Yuki gets to know more about
Takashiro’s real self: Takashiro is harboring a Duras within himself, enabling him to heal his wounds and making
him immortal and renewing his memories. Takashiro has actually lived for more than 1000 years and was present
since the start of the battle. He proceeds to tells Yuki that he was not related by blood to Yuki and that it was a lie to
gain Yuki’s initial trust. The reincarnation of the Zweilt guardians are also due to Takashiro summoning their souls
back into the world in order to participate in the battle. Receiving empathy and understanding from Yuki who as-
sures Takashiro that he remains an important person to him even if they do not possess blood ties, Takashiro brings
Yuki to a monument which is known as God’s Stone, the source of the Giou family’s powers. There, he explains the
origins of Reiga who was born from a union between a Giou-clan mother and an Opast father, making him a forbid-
den child. Reiga’s main intent is to destroy humans as he views them as not fit to live. Takashiro mentions that
Reiga who was reincarnated as Kanata holds no memory of his past self before his awakening, assuring Yuki that the
Kanata he has spent his childhood with is not a set up facade. Relieved, Yuki confronts Takashiro to reveal the event
that causes Reiga to betray the Giou clan.
17 "Sakura" August 1, 2010[32]
"Sakura" (桜)
Takashiro recounts the events that took place 1000 years ago, during the Heian period. The Giou clan was a well-
known family who directly served the court and was led by 4 high-ranking personages: Ario, Takashiro, Reiga and a
girl named Yomi. Reiga was feared and shunned due to his mixed parentage but he was supported by both
Takashiro and Yomi. They lived in relative peace until a summons came from the royal court for the Giou clan to ex-
terminate some high-ranking demons that were accidentally summoned. Takashiro accepted the task and set off
from the village, leaving Reiga and Yomi in-charge of defending the village. Before he left, however, he remarked
that he would be back to witness the blossoming of the lone sakura tree (representing Reiga) which had not put
forth flowers for a long time. The demon-exterminating task took Takashiro longer than he initially thought and as
he rode back, he noticed a great fire devastating the village. Hearing from an injured villager that Reiga had dis-
armed the barrier that protects the village, allowing a horde of monsters to assault the place, he ran to Yomi’s room
but found her dead. He received the scar on his face as Reiga directed a beam of light while Takashiro attempted to
rush to Yomi’s side. As Takashiro questioned Reiga as to his motive for burning the village, Reiga remarks that
"everything is already too late" before disappearing. Yuki, after learning of the event that ignited the battle, decides
to continue participating in it to stop others from getting hurt. It is also revealed that Ibuki and Tsubaki are his
aunts; them being his mother, Mizuki’s younger sisters. Handing over a picture of Mizuki to Yuki, they reassure him

that his birth was not meaningless as he is loved and wanted. It was unknown, however, why Mizuki withheld the
name of her husband from her sisters and also the reason Yuki was left at the orphanage.
18 "A World Without You" August 8, 2010[33]
"Anata no Inai Sekai" (あなたのいない世界)
Yuki decides to visit Luka and is assigned Senshiro and Kuroto as his bodyguards by Takashiro. At Yuki’s prompting,
Kuroto reveals that he and Senshiro owe Luka a great debt. Meanwhile, Touko and Tsukumo secretly takes a train to
the Kamakura mansion in order to check up on Yuki. While Yuki wanders around the compound outside the man-
sion searching for Luka, Luka encounters Elegy, a General-class Opast from his past, at a clearing within a forest. She
tries to persuade Luka to return to the Duras’ side but is rejected. A brief fight ensues with Luka easily disarming El-
egy, most probably because she refuses to use her full power. As he is about to deal the finishing blow, a figure ap-
pears before him: the female Yuki from the past. Luka is stunned to see her and lowers his guard, embracing her as
she repeatedly tells him that she loves him. The figure proved to be an illusion when Tsukumo injures Elegy with a
shot from his gun and both he and Touko run up to Luka to provide back-up. Elegy, outnumbered, retreats. On the
other side of the forest, Yuki is rushed back to the mansion by Senshiro and Kuroto after they sensed Elegy while
searching for Luka. Yuki, however, remains worried about Luka’s whereabouts as he enters the safety of the man-
sion.
19 "The Vengeful Pair" August 15, 2010
"Fukushuu no Imashime no Pea" (復讐の戒めの手(ペア))
Kuroto asks Yuki to play shogi with him, where Kuroto shares his past of how Senshiro becomes his second partner.
Hotsuma and Shusei are summoned to the Kamakura residence.
20 "Sin and Punishment and Promise" August 22, 2010
"Tsumi to Bachi to Yakusoku to" (罪と罰と約束と)
Deeply concerned for his master Takashiro, Fuyutoki feels frustration with his inability to do anything but simply
wait. Inspired by his words, Yuki disobeys Takashiro’s orders and leaves the mansion to search for Luka. Meanwhile,
Kuroto and Senshiro’s nemesis Cadenza, who was summoned by Reiga, vigilantly watches for an opportunity to at-
tack the Giou Clan. When Yuki emerges from the safety of the compound, Cadenza raises a barrier to trap him.
Kuroto and Senshiro arrive in time to defend Yuki but are badly outclassed. Yuki raises a wall of defense around
Kuroto, Senshiro and himself but starts to fail under repeated attacks from Cadenza. Reiga appears and deflects
Cadenza’s attack that would shatter Yuki’s wall.
21 "The Indelible Image" August 29, 2010
"Kienu Omokage" (消えぬ面影)
Reiga commands Cadenza to retreat by invoking his summoner’s right, enveloping Cadenza in chains, which Kuroto
explains, will burn through him if he still refuses to obey Reiga’s commands. Cadenza remarks slyly that since Reiga
already has 2 General-Class Opasts under him, his powers are currently split, making him weaker. Breaking the
chains easily, Cadenza turns on his master as befit his title "Master Killer" and they exchange blows. Reiga is over-
powered soon enough but as Cadenza readies the finishing strike, Luka appears and blocks the attack, saving Reiga.
Telling both Kuroto and Senshiro to escort Yuki back to the mansion, Luka promises Yuki that he will protect Reiga
if that is Yuki’s wish. As both Luka and Cadenza release their powers in preparation for a duel, the other Zweilts ap-
pear. Cadenza aims for a sneak attack at Yuki but is stopped by Reiga, yet again coming to Yuki’s aid, surprising
everyone. Yuki is even more assured that it is Kanata who wants to protect him and confronts Reiga. However,
Reiga mentions that it was just his plan not to kill Yuki so early in the battle and reiterates the fact that Kanata is
now gone. As Yuki continues to deny Reiga’s words, Cadenza finally asks Reiga where his loyalties lie.
22 "To the Final Battle..." September 05, 2010
"Kessen he..." (決戦へ…)
Reiga and Cadenza retreat to Infernus, granting everyone a temporary reprieve from battle. Having pushed the lim-
its of his power, Yuki loses consciousness and collapses. Witnessing the damage Yuki suffered in battle, the Zweilts
gathered at the Kamakura mansion renew their promise to end the war. The doctor warns Tachibana and Luka that
if Yuki uses his power again while he still lacks control, Yuki will die. While Yuki and Takashiro are bedridden, Elegy
gives Hyde, the surviving Twin Opast, her blood to drink, enabling him to power up. Then the three Opasts attack
the Kamakura residence. The Zweilts put up a fight. When Yuki tells Luka he intends to join the fight, Luka goes in
his stead, leaving Sodom to guard Yuki. However, Yuki is unable to remain behind in safety and forces himself to go

to the fight. As Yuki summons his power to help the Zweilts, Reiga arrives and steals Yuki away, then the three
Opasts withdraw.
23 "The Battle Of Traitors..." September 12, 2010
"Uragiri no Tatakai" (裏切りの戦い)
Reiga kidnaps Yuki and uses him to lure Luka and the Zweilts into his territory. Takashiro discovers Reiga’s where-
abouts and sends Luka and the Zweilts to rescue him. Hyde is held back by Hotsuma and Shusei, Elegy is held back
by Tsukumo and Touko, and Cadenza is held back by Kuroto and Senshiro, leaving Luka to confront Reiga and save
Yuki. During the magical battle with Reiga, Luka is badly injured. Then Reiga blasts Yuki, intending to kill him, but
Luze who addresses Luka as "older brother" arrives and stops the blast because his understanding was that Yuki is
essential to their plans.
24 "Connected Hearts" September 19, 2010
"Kokoro o Tsunagu Mono" (心ヲツナグ者)
Reiga orders Luze, Luka’s younger twin brother, to destroy everything that stands in their way, so Luze challenges
Luka. During the fight of Luze and Luka, Takashiro breaks through Reiga’s barrier and takes on Reiga, using the
darkness within him (the Duras in his body) to put him on equal standing with Reiga. Yuki decides to summon his
power to end the cycle and his power goes out of control. Reiga orders Luze to leave because when God’s Light is un-
leashed, it dispels all darkness and can endanger a Duras’ existence. Luze, Cadenza and Elegy flee God’s Light while
Hyde is destroyed and the Zweilts’ injuries are healed. Yuki is unable to stop his power but Luka manages to save
him. Luka, Takashiro and the Zweilts return to the Kamakura residence with Yuki. Takashiro says the prophetic rit-
ual revealed no emergency, so it’s assumed that there’s no immediate threat from Reiga in the near future.
Takashiro releases the Zweilts to live as they wish until the next battle.
