A brief recap of Sword of the Demon Hunter episode 4

Sword of the Demon Hunter episode 4 started off from the ending of episode 3, with Jinta escorting Ofuu back home. Although Jinta remained true to his overall stoic and serious demeanor, Ofuu managed to spark a conversation with him about flowers and their beauty.

Eventually, their conversation diverted towards Jinta's uptight nature and how he should unwind and enjoy the beauty that life has to offer.

Sometime after escorting Ofuu back to her house, Jinta and Mosuke encounter the demon suspected to be the infamous slasher. Unfortunately, the monster escapes, with Mosuke deciding to tail it. Mosuke eventually falls victim to the demon, with his last words requesting Jinta to avenge his wife by killing the demon, which must've been the one to kill Hatsu.

Later, it is revealed that the demon was Mosuke's wife, who had lost her humanity as well as her memories and turned into a demon, following her own murder, which was orchestrated by two men residing in Edo. The episode ends with Jinta liberating Hatsu's spirit, followed by him killing the men who had violated and murdered her, orchestrating the entire tragedy.

Sword of the Demon Hunter episode 5 will mark the introduction of another important character, who'll commission Jinta to solve a mystery around the disappearance of his older brother.
