Episode 6: The Gray Jewel
Azuma's companions have won their second Bubuki battle, but the next opponent is one of Reoko's Four Gods who was in disguise as their friend Horino. Hiiragi and the others are shocked to learn that their trusted friend is actually working for their mortal enemy. Kinoa demands to know why she betrayed them, but Zetsubi easily dodges the question; Hiiragi attacks her in rage, but he's no match for the power of Zetsubi's Bubuki. Azuma's suggestion of figuring out what the opponent's Bubuki's power is momentarily calms Hiiragi, but soon enough...
Episode 8: The Stopped Heart
The only two Buranki currently on Earth that possess a beating heart are Oubu and Entei. What's more, Reoko has defeated the headless Buranki, also called the "déraciné," and obtained its heart. One man declares this a situation that cannot be overlooked, and sends several Bubuki users to Japan in order to reclaim the stolen heart. Meanwhile, as Azuma and his companions continue to ride the Buranki transport train, a man carrying a guitar shows up in front of them and forces Hiiragi to slam on the brakes. Just who is this man?

The Bubuki battle continues aboard the train that's carrying Oubu toward Treasure Island. A beam fired from Arabashiri's Bubuki ring hits Kinoa, causing her own past to replay in her mind and slow her down.

So Azuma agrees to just watch, but Hiiragi can't help wondering what Kinoa's relationship with Arabashiri is. What really happened in their past?

Azuma does everything he can to restart the heart of Oubu, which stopped beating during the battle with the American Bubuki users. Hiiragi tries to protect Azuma from a vicious attack, but ends up sent flying and crashes to the ground.

Epizo stops Luis and declares that the two team leaders should settle this score together, and faces Azuma with fists at the ready.

Kogane's enraged cry of "I'll gouge out your everything!" rings out as she engages Matobai in battle, but her opponent's attack power overwhelms her. When Azuma tries to help her, Matobai mercilessly fires his Bubuki gun at him, but the heart Bubuki shields him. Azuma tries to use the heart to call Oubu to fight, but it doesn't respond... and Matobai sneers at their confusion as he takes out Entei's heart Bubuki.
Episode 10: The Shattered Heart
As Oubu finally achieves its complete form, Entei stands before it controlled not by Reoko, but by Zetsubi. Laughing boldly, she tells the shocked Azuma that he can't beat Entei, but Kinoa insists that they and Oubu are different from before. Zetsubi is cornered by Oubu's ferocious attack, so she takes the Russian team's Bubuki to use as Entei's limbs, and Oubu is overwhelmed again. Can Azuma and his party win this fight?
Episode 3: Heart and Limbs
Ten years ago, many Buranki fell to Earth and were destroyed by Banryuu Reoko and her Buranki, Entei. That was the day Reoko and Entei's reign of terror began. In the present, Azuma and his companions flee Shinjuku and meet a woman named Horino, who tells Azuma that his mother was the only person who ever defeated Reoko.

Episode 2: Fire Titan
Azuma stares in stunned shock at Oubu, now reduced to bones, as Hiiragi, Kogane, and the others successfully hold off Matobai.

Reoko called forth Entei in Ueno to bring the long-buried existence of Buranki to light, but Migiwa burned Entei's limbs to stop this uprising, which left Reoko's body with the curse it still bears today.
