Chained Soldier episode 10 where to watch

International audiences can stream the episode on HIDIVE roughly one hour after it begins airing in Japan. With Crunchyroll seemingly not hosting the series, given the lack of its presence in the platform’s Winter 2024 schedule, HIDIVE appears to be the only legitimate way of streaming the series internationally.

Chained Soldier episode 9 recap

Expand Tweet

Chained Soldier episode 9 began with Kyouka and Yuuki defeating a group of regular Shuuki that appeared nearby. The pair then returned to the 7th Squad dorm, where Kyouka gave Yuuki the night off so he could rest.

Nei Ookawamura detected someone in trouble nearby, with Himari Azuma and Shushu Suruga going to rescue them. However, it was revealed to be a trick, with the Humanoid Shuuki Coco Zenibaki and Naon Yuno attacking the pair.

Kyouka then told Yuuki to transform and move out, but the two were intercepted by Aoba Wakura and a small group of Shuuki. Aoba commanded Yuuki to stop moving, which he obeyed without question. This allowed her to wrap him up in her hair, disappearing with him while Kyouka dealt with the regular Shuuki.

As the 7th Squad returned to base, Yuuki was revealed to have been taken to the Humanoid Shuuki’s hidden village after awakening. He began talking with Aoba and co, where he learned of their hatred for the Demon Defense Force and how the Mato Peaches turned them into the hybrid Shuuki they are. Yuuki also learned that roughly 20 total Humanoid Shuuki live in the village, some of whom did so as civilians.

The episode ended with Kyouka’s body moving automatically toward Yuuki due to needing to give him his reward, allowing the 7th and 6th Squad to begin a joint rescue operation.

Chained Soldier episode 10 what to expect (speculative)

While Kyouka and co make their way to the hidden village, Chained Soldier episode 10 should see Yuki and Aoba’s conversation continue. This should likewise reveal significant lore information about both Mato in general and the origins of the Humanoid Shuuki as it relates to the Mato Peaches.

From here, the episode should bounce back and forth between Aoba and Yuki’s conversation and Kyouka and co making their way to the Hidden Village. Kyouka’s group will likely weigh their options of disobeying the Supreme Commander’s orders in their rescue efforts, eventually deciding that the capture of one of their own justifies such a direct disobeyment.
