The first season of Hitori No Shita: The Outcast ended with many mysteries.

This episode will concentrate on all the mysteries

of Hitori No Shita and why you should be watching.

Hitori No Shita: Raten Taishou Arc Pre-Broadcast Special.

The college student Chou Soran

heads back to the town where he grew up to visit his grandfather's grave,

but finds out that someone had robbed his grandfather's grave.

Chou Soran

However, the sin I committed put you in these circumstances...

Gramps...

The Chou family are men of jianghu.

Soran's beloved grandfather had taught him how to live.

Chou Shakurin leaves behind mysteries.

You and I, and all remnants of the Koushin War, should be going to Hell.

We have to leave an untainted world behind for the younger generation.

His grandfather fought mysterious enemies and lost his life.

In the end, Soran had no idea the mysteries

that surrounded him and the fact

that his grandfather had met a mysterious girl named Fuu Houhou.

So you two are the last ones...

Fuu...

Is that you, Fuu Houhou?

Huh? Do you know who I am, old man?

So it is you.

Even after all these decades, you look exactly the same.

Please tell me. Who am I?

Please, tell me.

You know about me, right?

What about my family?

I don't care what it is, just please, tell me something about me.

This must be the will of Heaven,

to see you at a time like this...

I'm sorry, but I cannot tell you everything.

However, I will tell you how you can get closer to the answer...

Huh? How?

Protect my grandson, Chou Soran.

Protect your grandson?

Yes, please protect Soran in my place.

My life will soon end.

Please, Fuu Houhou, could you end my life with your own hands?

You can't be serious!

If I do as you say, will I be able to regain my past?

Amu!

I am not certain.

If no outsiders ever go near Soran, even if you wait for them,

it might all end in vain.

But waiting should mean nothing to you, Fuu Houhou.

Okay. I promise.

Wait, Amu. Even if he requests it...

He's not going to survive.

With his mysterious last words, Chou Shakurin leaves Fuu Houhou

I can at least put him out of his misery.

with a secret power and asks her to watch over Soran.

When Soran sets foot into the outsider world,

if he lacks strength,

please give this to him.

I'm counting on you, Fuu Houhou.

I believe in you.

What did you do?

The girl named Fuu Houhou.

And it's pretty creepy.

But I can't believe Grandpa's grave was dug up.

Just how much does someone hate our family?

I'm sure it's all because of Dad, though.

What's that?

Headed toward Shakurin's grave and finds Fuu Houhou digging it up.

He mistakes her for the grave robber,

but then is saved by Houhou from an army of zombies.

He's doing this all alone at night?

What kind of guy is he?

A woman?

All right... I'm gonna get a photo for the cops.

There.

Fuu Houhou

She saw me! Crap!

Looks like she didn't follow me.

Damn that grave robber! Scaring me like that...

Okay, I got the proof.

Just try and run away!

Ow... My head feels like it's going to split open...

What... What... What?!

What the hell?!

And when Soran headed back to school,

for some reason, Houhou was sitting next to him.

Soran wonders who she could be.

Afterwards, to argue that...

What? I haven't told anyone about you.

I even deleted your picture off my phone.

I don't want any trouble!

If you're still going to follow me around, I'll report you to the police!

Do what you want.

Houhou then attacks Soran with a knife and amazing martial arts skills.

You have a tremendous power.

I realized it when I first met you.

If you won't show me, I'll kill you.

You're...

not sane!

Oh?

It's at that moment that Soran decides

to use a power his grandfather told him to conceal.

Listen well, Soran.

You mustn't use your powers in front of anyone, under any circumstances.

Remember that.

It was a technique called kinkou, which could be used for offense and defense.

Gramps said that I was never allowed to use it, but...

I guess I have no choice now.

You're clearly not normal.

Bring order to disaster,

and reveal my divine power!

Finally...

There are others who are outsiders, like us, in this world.

If you accidentally run into another outsider,

no matter who they are, and whatever the circumstances may be,

do not hesitate to fight them with your kinkou.

Otherwise, you will probably lose your life.

Your kinkou can be used as defense, too?

If you keep the kinkou close to you, you can defend,

and if you release it, you can attack your enemy.

Gramps, I finally understand...

Why you worked so hard to teach me kung fu ever since I was little...

It was so I could protect myself from these other outsiders.

There are a lot of troubles surrounding outsiders.

We try to help outsiders in need,

as well as stop the outsiders who try to disrupt society,

Soran's abilities are acknowledged and he gets

and maintain balance in the outsiders' society.

invited to join the Express Delivery Company,

a company that uses the guise of a delivery company

but actually maintains order among the outsiders.

Soran-kun!

Jo San

Won't you join our Express Delivery Company?

The one I'm interested in now is him.

What the hell?

Man, to think that the heir to the kitaigen style

Jo Yon

is someone who looks this weak.

What the hell is this kitaigen style that you keep bringing up?

The power hidden within Chou Soran: Kitaigen style

You're from the Tengekai.

Fuu Saen

I'm Fuu Saen.

Soran accepts the Tengekai's invitation and visits them.

Tengekai's president tells them that this battle

among the outsiders is over eight powers.

He is told that his grandfather possessed one of the eight powers: the kitaigen style.

Soran was the heir to that power.

Did I startle you with what I said earlier?

Well, yeah.

But what you're really after is the kitaigen style, right?

None of you seem to care what you have to do to get it.

Soran-kun, when you were eleven,

your grandfather, Chou Shakurin, was killed,

and your father disappeared.

Wow, you sure did your research.

As soon as we found out that you were the successor to the kitaigen style,

we researched every little thing about you.

Their powers were not ones that could be passed down in any book of secrets.

They were just born with these unprecedented powers.

And one of those powers was the kitaigen style that your grandfather,

Chou Shakurin, used.

Fuu Houhou doesn't die

I came here to see you.

home with me, Chou Soran.

Huh? Home?

Like I'd go back that easily.

I'm not gonna do as you say just like that.

Sorry.

Huh?

I've caused you so much misery.

I'm sorry, Chou Soran-kun.

It was then that Fuu Houhou came to get him at

Tengekai headquarters after they had an argument.

Houhou followed Soran's orders and was deeply wounded.

How dare all of you mock me?!

Die! All of you are going to die!

Huh?

Huh? H-Hou-nee?

That was close.

I'm glad I didn't move, like you asked.

But for some reason, Fuu Houhou didn't die,

despite being wounded so badly that it would kill any normal human being.

Her secret was that she was immortal.

She doesn't age and she cannot die.

And she had lost her memories on how she became that way.

You bastard!

Soran-kun, be quiet.

You're going to disturb her rest.

What?! What the hell are you guys talking about?!

Listen carefully.

You're a ki user, too. You should be able to hear it.

Hear what?

Th-This sound...

Impossible.

not the breathing pattern of someone who's dying.

N-No way...

The bleeding stopped?

Wh-What's going on here?

There's no way she could've healed already...

What's going on?

Hey, now would be a good time to explain everything to me.

Just who is Hou-neechan?

Why is she so strong?

You guys should know all of this!

More than anything, why is she so obsessed with me?

Why did she risk her life to stop me?!

To be honest, there isn't much information we can give you.

But we want you to join us in Express Delivery, no matter what the cost.

Because we acknowledge your connection with the Tenshifu.

And we are ready to completely back you up

so you can become the next Tenshi.

And once I become the next Tenshi,

you guys are going to try to take in the Tenshifu.

That's awfully convenient for you.

More importantly, I don't like how you're just using Hou-neechan.

How are you making her listen to you?

That's actually pretty similar to your situation.

What do you mean?

In return for Houhou working for us,

we're investigating her past for her.

Her past?

She has no memory.

She doesn't know when or where she was born,

or what kind of life she had.

Because of a certain incident, her past remains a mystery.

A fierce, forbidden battle among the "outsiders!"

As he continued to meet various outsiders,

he receives an invitation from a cute girl,

despite the fact that he's unpopular and poor.

Soran gets cocky, but of course, it was a trap.

See? I brought you Chou Soran, just as I promised.

Now I'm going to have you accept me into Zensei, as you promised!

Ryuu Kenken

Soran is captured by one of the outsider organizations, Zensei.

Zensei was an evil organization filled with outsiders who did whatever they pleased.

Because of their violence,

they were considered a dangerous group and many other organizations were against them.

It was then that Soran almost became a puppet,

had his memories removed, and experienced various outsider powers at once.

Natsuka

You're definitely Chou Shakurin's grandson.

How wonderful.

Y-You're...

Even though you're tied up, I can feel tremendous power from you.

It's perfect! You're overflowing so much!

You look absolutely delicious.

Wh-What the...

Stop screaming.

Ro Ryou

It's not like I'm going to completely rip your soul out.

I just need the part that governs your memories.

Stop!

Does it hurt?

I'll just go ahead and rip out all of your memories, then.

Soran-kun, come over here.

Chou Reigyoku

Not only was Zensei after Soran,

but he also receives rather forceful invitations from the Tengekai and Tenshifu.

Chou Shakurin's kitaigen style was so powerful

that all the organizations wanted Soran to join them.

But Soran tells them that he had never learned the kitaigen style.

Soran continued to be trifled with, despite not even knowing what that power did.

You still don't get it, Jo San?

The kinkou that Chou Shakurin taught him isn't a kitaigen style technique.

It's a Kousei Ryuukosan Shouitsuha Tenshifu technique.

It's called Kinkouju.

By mastering all calamity, we shall show our divine power.

I-It can't be!

That should be enough.

Well done, you two. You may stand down now.

I shall deal with him next.

Reigyoku-sama...

Seriously, what the hell?

I don't even care to know who you guys are. Do whatever you want!

I'm sure you're just going to come after me by force anyway.

Then hurry up and just do it!

Stop your barking if that's all the strength you have.

Don't get high-and-mighty with me!

Wh-What is this kinkou?

It's so hard!

Chou Soran awakens.

Why don't you stop holding back?

After getting roughed up from various invitations,

Soran finally unleashes his powers as an outsider.

Not only doe she use his Kinkoju, he also uses Raihou,

which his grandfather also taught him.

What?

Reigyoku, was it?

I'll show you my full power!

This sensation... Impossible.

This cannot be.

I've kept it hidden for so long...

My kinkou was broken so easily...

This is my first time using this against a person.

Is this something that a person can master?

Your defensive kinkou was pretty strong,

but can you block this technique?

The kinkou has turned into white light.

There's no doubt about it.

This technique is...

Raihou!

It appeared for a moment that

Soran had the upper hand, but his attack was dispelled.

Reigyoku's powers knew no bounds.

Chou Soran-kun.

I said that you were not worthy earlier,

but it seems I was wrong.

Chou Reigyoku acknowledged Soran's powers

and told him he'd be waiting for him at the Raten Taishou,

where the next Tenshi would be chosen.

I would like you to participate in the

Raten Taishou that will be held at Ryuukosan.

The next successor to the Tenshi will be chosen at this event.

Let me say that

you are worthy of becoming the successor to the Tenshi, Chou Soran-kun.

Me?

The successor to the Tenshi?

Soran returns to Houhou and the Express Delivery Company.

Soran then decides to discover all of the secrets surrounding

the truth behind his kitaigen style and the reason that Houhou is immortal,

which is also connected to that.

But now I know that I was being supported by various people,

like Gramps, Hou-nee, and Jo Shou-san.

I want to find out the truth, as well,

so in order to do what everyone wants me to do,

I'll participate in the Raten Taishou.

The outsiders gather at the Raten Taishou
