"So this is the demon that defeated Kato's demon? Tut!" Bunjiro snorted, trying to belittle Kenji. "A Kuwatako of that level defeated by a weird… what is it? A Nekage?" he added.

Yoichi could have revealed to everyone that hidden within the Emperor's Heralds was the one who had raped the princess of Tentochu, Emperor Shinzo's only daughter.
