Bucchigiri?! episode 4 recap
The previous episode began with Marito going after Kenichiro, but his attack was deflected by Matakara. It led to quite an altercation between the two factions, finally resulting in Marito declaring that Siguma had better figure out who ambushed Outa within one day or risk war.
The Emperor, whose real name is Shindo Akutaro, was revealed to have been banished from Minato six months prior. He had tried to befriend Zabu a few days before Minato and Siguma's latest feud started, but Zabu had dismissed him as a small fry and refused to associate with him.
However, Zabu was soon overpowered and lost his Minato armband to Shindo. This same armband was left beside Outa after he had been attacked.
Later in the episode, Matakara reaches out to Arajin, pleading with him to prevent Marito from declaring war on Minato. However, Arajin was uncomfortable in Matakara’s presence and pushed him away once again.
The following day, Matakara approached Mahoro, asking her to persuade Arajin to convince Marito to call off the war. This strategy was successful, and Arajin attempted to dissuade Marito but found himself unable to speak up.
On his way back, Arajin ran into Shindo, leading to a minor altercation that led to Arajin landing a powerful punch on Shindo's face. Despite this, Shindo stood right back up, revealing that he, too, is an Honki person.
What to expect in Bucchigiri?! episode 5?
Bucchigiri?! is an entirely original anime production, and as such, a precise synopsis of the upcoming episode is not available. However, based on the events of the previous episode, it is expected that an intense fight between Shindo and Arajin is coming up. This confrontation will likely prove challenging for Arajin, as he has yet to fully merge with Senya.
In the previous episode, Zabu informed Matakara that Shindo was the mastermind behind the conflict between Siguma and Minato. Upon learning this, Matakara set off to find Shindo. Therefore, it is plausible that Matakara might intervene in the battle between Arajin and Shindo.
