Summary[]
Fujiwara no Yasusuke, now called the bandit Hakamadare, meets Tenkaimaru, a bandit leader in the old Southern Capital. Meanwhile in the Light Palace, Fujiwara no Michinaga, still desires a Makai Knight for protection. He learns that the Southern Fujiwara family also has the Silver Makai armor, but its whereabouts are unknown. Elsewhere, when Hakamadare’s bandits rob a wealthy family, they are attacked and killed by a Horror firing “kemari” balls. Hakamadare recalls the time during youth service selection when a fellow student Narimichi injured his ankle while trying to outdo him. He then discovers that the "kemari" Horror is Narimichi who challenges Yasusuke to a match. They are interrupted by Golden Makai Knight, but Yasusuke insists on fighting the Horror himself. A flashback shows that Tenkaimaru revealed to Yasusuke that he was Fujiwarano Tokitada who fell into disfavor with Michinaga and he gave Yasusuke a Makai sword and Madou bracelet to fulfil his destiny as a protector. Yasusuke then confronts Narimichi who blames Yasusuke for his unsuccessful life, but Yasusuke becomes Zanga, the Sliver Makai Knight and destroys the Horror Narimichi, witnessed by his older brother, Raikou, Seimei and Kintoki.
