A brief recap of episode 7
Ayaka: A Story of Bonds and Wounds episode 7, titled "Forget the Past," explored the lore of Ayaka Island and showcased how Aka and Kurama were trained by Akito's father, Master Makoto.
This heartwarming and emotional episode saw the major characters living together as a family. However, everything changed one day when the fire dragon emerged, disrupting the island's balance. Despite Aka and Kurama's best efforts, they couldn't hold back the dragon.
Makoto intervened and ordered Kurama to flee with Aka. Although Kurama didn't want to leave his master alone, he understood the necessity of obeying. Aka was resistant, but Kurama took him away from the danger. Aka felt helpless as he witnessed the dragon spewing lava and engulfing the island in flames from a distance.
During these events, young Jingi took on the responsibility of protecting Yukito. Despite being a child himself, he comforted the frightened and confused Yukito. They evacuated with the other residents of Ayaka Island due to the imminent danger.
The next morning, when Aka and Kurama ventured to the disaster site in hopes of finding their master, they discovered Makoto's lifeless body with a serene smile still on his face. They realized that their master had sacrificed himself to safeguard the island.
Ayaka: A Story of Bonds and Wounds episode 7 concluded with Yukito gaining an understanding of the tragic events of the past and how they caused Aka and Kurama to drift apart after their master's passing. Furthermore, it also reminded him of how the simple act of Jingi holding his hand offered him comfort at that time.
