Hell's Paradise episode 10 preview hints at Mei revealing Tensen's power source
Hell's Paradise episode 10, titled Shadow and Light, will pick up from where the previous episode ended. Mei rescued Gabimaru from Zhu Jin and took him to a safe location. Upon waking up, Gabimaru starts planning a way to defeat the Tensen when he is greeted by Tamiya Gantetsusai and Yamada Asaemon Fuchi.
As per the preview synopsis, Gabimaru will create a pact with Gantetsusai and Fuchi to work together to defeat the Tensen. Hence, both parties are bound to share the intel they possess. Thus, there is a good chance that Gabimaru will reveal everything he knows about Tensen. This includes the information he learned from Hoko and what he experienced himself firsthand.
Since Mei's first appearance in the anime, she hasn't spoken a word, causing Gabimaru to believe that she could not speak. However, as evident from the preview synopsis, Mei is set to speak in the upcoming episode. She will reveal the source of Tensen's power, "Tao," to Gabimaru, Gantetsusai, and Fuchi.
Unfortunately, Gabimaru and the others will have to wait before they make a plan to defeat the Tensen as Mei's first conversation in the anime is set to get cut short. Gabimaru's group is set to get attacked by a group of Taoists. Hence, the upcoming episode may feature a battle between Gabimaru's group fighting together against them.
Elsewhere, Sagiri, Senta, Yuzuriha, and Hoko are out in search of Gabimaru and Mei. Hence, they may walk up to Horai's gate. There they may happen to encounter a Tensen and engage in a battle with them.
As for Aza Choubei and Toma, they are shown climbing up the pit in the preview. Meanwhile, Yamada Asaemon Shion is seen consoling Nurugai after Tenza's death. There lies a possibility that he might teach her how to fight in the upcoming episode.
