Saki’s mother, Michiko, was the elder Shigaraki's adopted daughter.

The Kidora treasure?

Yes, Kidora, written with the characters for "The Good of Enraging Demons."

Under the elder Shisaraki's orders...

Michiko had her husband Saotome Shichiro seek out the Kidora treasure.

However, upon discovering its location, Michiko revealed the truth to her husband.

If you've discovered the treasure, our purpose together will be fulfilled...

And once he takes it from you...

My father will have us all killed.

As Shigaraki's clutches drew near...

Saotome Shichiro, sensing the threat to his family...

Hid the location of the treasure within the iron mask.

When the stone dons the armor...

The sounds of heaven and earth will ring out...

And the mirror's light will shine.

The armor is the iron mask.

And the sound of heaven and earth...

SUKEBAN DEKA II Legend of the Iron Masked Girl

The sound of heaven comes from Kyoshiro's pendant...

And the sound of earth from mine.

The time has come for me to tell you everything I know.

When Heaven and Earth Sound Out The Iron Mask is Revealed

The Kidora is apparently powerful enough that it could dictate the fate of a nation.

But depending on who obtains it...

It could be used for either good or evil.

This man, the elder Shigaraki...

He controls Japan from the shadows, for his own gain.

If someone like him...

Were to gain the Kidora treasure...

It would spell the end of Japan.

Saotome believed the treasure needed to be protected at all costs.

Even if it meant that you were fated to bear the iron mask.

And as for who put it on you...

That was me.

No!

No, no, no, no!

Forgive me, Yoko!

I'm so sorry, Yoko!

l didn't know the iron mask contained the location of the treasure back then.

If I had known...

I would never have put it on your head.

Back then, I was only...

Following Saotome's orders.

Shigaraki already knows.

That Shiori's face...

Is where I hid the location of the treasure.

You couldn't have!

That's merely putting a target on her!

Which is why...

I plan of putting this on her.

If I die...

Make sure that Shiori wears it.

And then, tell the elder Shigaraki...

That this mask...

Will come off when Shiori turns eighteen.

And that until then, if they try to remove it, she'll die.

Saotome!

Have you even considered what this means for her future?

If you force this thing on her, Shiori-chan will...

She must wear it, and survive...

Shiori must live, to defeat Shigaraki.

Look after Shiori.

And when you think the time is right...

Remove the mask, and then...

Have Shiori fight to bring Shigaraki down.

I beg of you, Nishiwaki...

That can't be!

Then everyone has just been using me?

My father, my mother...

Nishiwaki-san!

Even you!

Saki!

You put that iron mask on me so that I'd defeat this elder Shigaraki...

I've been nothing but a tool to you!

How can you say that, Saki?!

Look at that mirror!

When anyone else looks into a mirror, they see their own face!

But I didn't know my own face until I was seventeen!

The sight of the iron mask was so dreadful...

I couldn't bear to look in the mirror!

Saki!

The fear I felt with my face caged, in the darkness...

No one could...

No one could ever understand!

Mother, I wanted to learn the truth from you.

Before the iron mask was broken, I wanted to know then.

If I hadn't held it against you and father...

It wouldn't hurt so much now!

Take another step, and this time I'll hit you with the yo-yo.

If that will satisfy you...

Then I'll accept the punishment.

The fact that I put the iron mask on you...

Is something I've struggled with for twelve years.

I hoped that one day I could break it off...

And have you avenge your father.

That was all I thought about.

And that's why you made me into a Sukeban Deka?

That’s right. That's what I believed was the path that I had to walk.

"When there is no heavenly path, and no path on the earth...”

"Then I will simply walk the path of man."

That's...

Saotome used to say it.

Father?

"When there is no heavenly path, and no path on the earth..."

"Then I will simply walk the path of man."

Do you understand what it means, Yoko?

The heavens determine how the world works...

The earth is where people live.

But we can't walk through the heavens or the earth.

The only path we can walk exists within the human heart.

When people with good hearts gather together...

A direct path will open on the earth...

Which will eventually lead to a path in the heavens.

Do you understand, Yoko? No matter what happens...

Always have a good heart...

And seek a path you can believe in...

Which you create with your own strength.

I'll find my own way.

I'll take hold the path I believe in.

What happened?

When the the sound of heaven and earth ring out...

Based on what you told us, Leader, we've been testing the mask's resonance range.

And this is what we've discovered.

But there were four tones.

Correct. The first two were 284 hertz and 9,600 hertz.

The other two were 320 hertz and 8200 hertz.

These four tones cause a reaction in the iron mask.

The frequencies of 284 and 9600 hertz...

Correspond with the highest and lowest frequencies of your musical pendant.

Then the 320 and 8200 hertz are Shiori's pendant...

This might lead somewhere.

I guess the idea is that when the enemies meet...

They both go off and something happens, right?

Kinda messed up...

What is this?

Did you find something?

There's something engraved in Saki's pendant.

That's...

Man, this isn't getting us anywhere.

Lemme see that...

What do you think you're doing, Okyo-san?

You're really slow at this. You might've overlooked something.

So I'll take a look instead.

The nerve, saying I'm slow! You're the one not taking this seriously! Go home.

- What'd you say, you little snob?! - I think not!

Give it to...

Okyo, Yukino-san, let me see those.

This...

It kinda looks like a school's crest, doesn't it?

A crest...

It represents a crossing over of the heavens and the earth.

The heavens and earth...

And the school's name...

Heaven and Earth Academy.

The Wolf Revolution did a number on this school...

It must've been condemned ever since.

If only they'd contacted the Ryozan Alliance before their strength was overwhelmed...

We might have been able to help them.

Do you need something?

I'm Asamiya Saki, from Ryozan High School.

Yajima Yukino, from the same school.

I'm from there too, Nakamura Kyoko.

There's something we need to look around the school for.

Could you let us inside?

L-Leave!

No one is allowed inside.

The Cherry Blossom Crest!

So you're here at our school as the Sukeban Deka, Asamiya Saki?

The Kidora treasure...

You know about it, don't you?

We've heard rumors.

Will you let us look into it?

You intend on looking even if we refuse, don't you?

Why did you let them stay?

Those eyes.

That girl who called herself Asamiya Saki, her eyes are just like his.

You thought so too, Tendo-sama?

As you apparently did too, Chido.

It's finally here, the day we've been waiting for twelve years!

"When there is no heavenly path..."

"And no path on the earth..."

"Then I will simply walk the path of man."

Father...

I know this is it. This is where he, Father.

What is this?!

Okyo! Yukino-san!

Saki!

Saki-san!

Struggling will just make the bonds more restrictive!

Who are you?!

Show yourself! Coward!

We were tasked to protect the Kidora burial mound, our names are Tendo and Chido.

We currently protect this stone monument.

The Kidora burial mound? Then did you know Saotome Shichiro?!

We were very acquainted.

You're actually Saotome-dono's daughter Shiori-sama, aren't you?

That's right! I'm Saotome Shiori!

I thought so!

We've been waiting for you.

What your father entrusted to us is below the stone monument.

Would you like to see it?

I would!

Then we'll need to remove the monument...

Why are you trying to throw your yo-yo?!

That's dynamite!

We can't remove the monument without an explosion!

But my friends are...

Will you snuff the dynamite's fuse to save your friends?

If you lack a strong will to forsake your friends in pursuit of power...

You will never master the Kidora treasure!

Wait a moment, Saki-san!

We've finally gotten this far!

Don't worry about us!

She's right!

Leave us to our fates. Take the treasure!

No treasure is worth that!

Saki-san...

Saki!

Why did you do that? Do you not want to see what lies beneath the monument?

If you're the ones protecting the stone, then you know what it says on it...

I'm just following the path I believe is right!

Splendid!

You guys!

Saki!

Saki-san...

Due to a curse, our clan was forced to defend the Kidora burial mound for generations.

Twelve years ago, Saotome-sama entered the burial mound...

And freed our clan from the Kidora curse.

And Saotome-sama then told us this, in front of this monument...

"One day, my daughter Shiori will come here."

"When that happens, see if she is a genuine person with a righteous heart."

"I trust you two to judge that."

Shiori-sama...

You've grown into a fine young woman, capable of following in your father's footsteps.

I have seen that with my own eyes.

Hey, Chido.

Right!

This is what your father entrusted us with.

Is this the Kidora treasure?

Sadly not, but it is a clue for finding its secret location.

When a mirror reflecting the iron mask is filled with light...

The Kidora treasure will appear.

You guys don't know where it's actually hidden?

Only the iron mask does.

This is it!

T-That's...

Could the treasure really be hidden there?

So that's it.

Fascinating.

To be continued...
