R04/U01 - "Love and Mercy"

Main Cast:

Rika Miyamuri
Ueno Kyujin

Episode Synopsis:

Amidst the threat from the "Zodiac" continually increasing, Rika
suddenly recieves an anonymous call requesting her to meet with an
individual in Tokyo Pier. Fearing for her life, she calls Grade, the
Spec Ops Commander, who then makes arrangements for Ueno Kyujin to
escort her.

Upon arriving in Tokyo Pier, Rika and Ueno suddenly find themselves
in the middle of an ambush set up by the Zodiac Leader in order
to "silence" Rika. A terrific battle ensues, so much so that the
Leader himself makes an appearance. Five of the Zodiac prepare to do
battle when Rika vanishes, running away for fear of her life.

Unbeknownst to her, somone is watching. This "someone" persues her
and introduces himself as "The Walker of the Path". He tries to
convince her to join him and the Zodiac. Rika refuses, and tries in
vain to escape.

Meanwhile, Ueno, who suffered a bullet wound in the initial strike,
does battle with 5 Zodiac members! Finally, after an extended chase,
the Zodiac Leader confronts him in a one-on-one battle to the death.
This does not go well on Ueno's case, as he is suddenly burdened by
his enemy's "motion-detector" attack.

Rika and the mysterious man continue their discussion of Good and
Evil until the Walker probes Rika's emotions and learns of her son,
Hideki. Believing that Hideki is "the son of a path-walker and a
demon (Suisei)", the man changes his plans and teleports to the
Miyamuri-Shiroi household.

Ueno, now facing a life-or-death situation, consults his mind for the
solution to his predicament. The answer comes in the form of Gale,
the so-called "Guardian of Wind", who instructs Ueno to "become what
he controls." Heeding Gale's advice, Ueno manages to turn himself
into the wind, baffling his enemies. Taking his chance, Ueno escapes,
hoping to destroy the Zodiac under better circumstances.

When Ueno and Rika arrive at the Miyamuri-Shiroi household, they
discover that the house became a battle ground between Hiroaki,
Nehru, Shin, and the Walker. Hiroaki and Nehru are simply knocked
out, but Shin suffers extensive injuries trying to protect Hideki.
Thankfully the attack was not continued any further.

As all of them enter the hospital, Shin in a stretcher, he holds
Rika's hand and says:

"It was wonderful to ... have served... you..."
