A quick summary of TenPuru episode 7

In the previous episode, Akagami, Yuzuki, and Mia's training started with practising zazen. The trio maintained their posture while they cleared their mind. Kiki monitored them with a kyosaku, which she employed whenever their concentration wavered. However, it became evident that, despite Akagami's earnest efforts, he struggled the most.

Next, they all copied sutras. Here again, Akagami had a promising start because he had worked part-time at a calligraphy school. However, he made a mess of teaching Yuzuki how to write the characters.

The episode then cut to a flashback in which Kiki questioned Hoan's decision to expedite Yuzuki's training. Hoan revealed that in three months, a significant sect meeting was scheduled to take place at the temple, so the directive to prepare Yuzuki to be the head priest came from higher ups of the sect. The next day, Kiki decided to put the three through a different kind of training. They were sent to a mixed sauna where they faced their worldly thoughts.

On the following day, which happened to be Christmas Eve, Kiki decided to give her students a break, although this disturbed Akagami. Every Christmas, his father would divide his time among multiple lovers, which would end up in a bloodbath. This experience left an impression on Akagami who found the holiday horrific.

Yuzuki took Akagami shopping to cheer him up since they needed to buy gifts for a Christmas gathering at the temple. Episode 7 then came to an end with a shot of Kagura commenting that Akagami had proven to be a nuisance and she will stamp him out.

What to expect from TenPuru episode 8?

In TenPuru episode 8, viewers can expect to see the Christmas party at the temple. The previous episode did not show what gifts Akagami had bought, though it is likely that he purchased the formal beads for Yuzuki.

In the next installment of the anime, he will probably present this to Yuzuki. More importantly, fans may expect some exciting exchanges between Akagami and Kagura in the next episode, especially after the latter declared she would drive out Akagami.
