List of Fushigi Yûgi episodes

This is a complete episode listing for the anime series Fushigi Yûgi. Directed by Hajime Kamegaki, the fifty-two episode series was produced by Studio Pierrot. It is based on the first fourteen volumes of the Fushigi Yûgi manga series written and illustrated by Yuu Watase. The series premiered on TV Tokyo and on the satellite channel Animax on April 6, 1995 and concluded on March 28, 1996. The series was followed by three original video animation (OVA) releases. The first three-episode OVA, released October 25, 1996, was not based on the manga, but was purely an anime creation. The second OVA is based on the final four volumes of the manga series. Spanning six episodes, the series was released as two three-episode volumes, with the first released on May 25, 1997, and the second coming over a year later on August 25, 1998. The final OVA, titled Fushigi Yûgi: Eikoden, is based on two related light novels written by Megumi Nishizaki. Released on December 21, 2001, the series spans four episodes.

The Region 1 Geneon release of the first season of Fushigi Yûgi was called the Suzaku set.

The entire Fushigi Yûgi anime series, including the three OVAs, were licensed for Region 1 release by Geneon Entertainment. The series was released under the expanded title Fushigi Yûgi: The Mysterious Play. The TV series was released in eight individual volumes that contained 6–7 episodes each. It was also released in two collectible box sets, with season one contained in the Suzaku set and season two named the Seiryu set. The first two OVAs were released together in a set titled Fushigi Yûgi: The Mysterious Play, while Fushigi Yûgi: Eikoden was released as a single disc volume. The two box sets and the two OVAs were released with similar packaging, to give them a consistent look. All four of these sets were taken out-of-print and no longer available. With the closure of Geneon USA, the individual volumes may now also be out-of-print. On their Facebook page, the company Media Blasters announced that they have rescued the TV series and will release the first season in April 2012.[1]

Fushigi Yûgi uses three pieces of theme music. All fifty-two episodes feature the song "Itōshii Hito no Tame ni" (いとおしい人のために), performed by Akemi Satō, as the opening sequence theme. Yukari Konno's "Tokimeki no Dōkasen" (ときめきの導火線) is used as the series closing theme, except for episode thirty-three which uses "Song of the Wind" (風の旋律, Kaze no Uta), performed by Chika Sakamoto, is used as a memorial sequence for Nuriko. For the final episode, the regular ending theme is used along with the opening theme "Itōshī Hito no Tame ni."

The episodes are summarized, below, using in-universe tone.

While at the National Library, Miaka follows a vision of a phoenix to a special collections room where she finds a book called the Universe of the Four Gods. When the two girls start reading it, they are pulled into the book and taken to a world similar to ancient China. As they try to get their bearings, they are attacked by two slave traders. A young man with the character for "ogre" on his forehead appears and fights off the traders. He asks the two girls to pay him for saving them, but they have no money so he leaves. While Miaka is searching her pockets, Yui is transported back to the library and begins reading the book again. Miaka looks up to find Yui and the young man gone. Presuming he had taken Yui with him, she hitches a ride on a wagon to the nearest city to search for him. As she searches the city, another man tells her he is friends with the man she is looking for her. He leads her to a secluded area where four of his friends are waiting to rape her and sell her "strange" clothes. Miaka fights them off at first, but they manage to knock her off her feet and pin her to the ground. The young man shows up and easily beats up the four men, saving Miaka again.

When the young man is unable to tell Miaka where Yui is, Miaka doggedly follows him demanding he help her search. After she loudly accused him of selling Yui and being a slave trader, the embarrassed man stops to talk. Seeing the imperial procession nearby, the young man remarks that one jewel from the emperor's crown would make him rich, so Miaka runs up to the palanquin and asks if she can have a jewel. She trips and grabs one the cloth decorations to catch herself, ripping it. The guards attack her for dishonoring the emperor, but the young man rescues her using a smoke bomb. The man introduces himself as Tamahome. When she reminds him she has no money, he kisses her forehead as payment, just as the emperor's guards discover them. Suddenly, Miaka begins emitting a red light and starts to vanish. Slipping between worlds, she is relieved to see Yui is safe and reading the book in the library before the light fades and she returns to the world in the book. On the emperor's orders, she and Tamahome are captured and imprisoned. When Miaka chews some gum and blows a bubble, it terrifies the guard who runs away, leaving the keys behind. After they escape the cell, Tamahome tells Miaka about the four gods of the universe. He explains that the Konan empire is ruled by the phoenix Suzaku. He turns to find Miaka gone. (Miaka smells food and wanders off to eat.) While searching for Tamahome, she meets a beautiful person named Hotohori who seems excited to learn Miaka is from another world. As they talk, Tamahome is captured by guards nearby. The "woman" hides Miaka, but Miaka reveals herself to help Tamahome. When the guards roughly grab Miaka, Tamahome quickly breaks free from the guards holding to fight the ones hurting her. Seeing the symbol that appears on Tamahome's forehead as he fights, Hotohori stops the guards and reveals that he is really the emperor and a man. In the throne room, Hotohori asks Miaka to become the Priestess of Suzaku to save his country of Konan. In doing so, she will obtain the power to fulfill her wishes. After thinking of all the wishes she could make, including passing the exams and going to high school with Yui (and having a sexy body and having all the boys drool over her), Miaka accepts and all in the palace bow before the Priestess of Suzaku.

Back in the real world, Yui notices blood on her leg. Tamahome has shielded Miaka from most of the rubble, but her leg was injured. Tamahome struggles to keep the building from falling on them both, almost killing himself to save Miaka, but luckily one of the royal consorts quickly digs them out, displaying superhuman strength.

Five days had passed since Miaka had found Mitsukake, and since then, she and her Warriors have been searching for the final Suzaku Warrior. A song is played mysteriously upon a flute—even more mysterious is that it was something only Miaka could hear. When Miaka and company venture out, they arrive at Hakkō village, Tamahome's home village. Mitsukake heals Tamahome's father, and all six of them are invited to stay in Tamahome's home. Before Miaka sleeps, she is notices bats outside the window, and a Kutou spy is watching her. In Kutou, meanwhile, Yui had been attending to Tamahome, who had been asleep for the last five days. Yui reveals to Tamahome her feelings and tells him to forget about Miaka, but Yui advances no further upon Tamahome's bewildered remark. Back in Hakkō, Miaka is awakened by the same song she had heard that morning, leading her to go outside when it stops. She is attacked by bats, and even as Hotohori and Tasuki come to her aid, they continue to be devoured by the bats. The flute is played again, killing all of the bats and the Kutou spy and saving them. The flute player was revealed to be Chiriko, the final Suzaku Warrior. They return to Konan the next day, where they are welcomed by Chichiri and Tasuki, Mitsukake and Chiriko learn for the first time that Hotohori is the emperor. With both Tamahome and the Universe of the Four Gods still in Kutou, they have yet another thing to accomplish, to which Chichiri provides a solution: a spell that would connect from Konan to Kutou, allowing Miaka to speak to the imprisoned Tamahome. Miaka is overjoyed upon seeing Tamahome again.

Miaka and Tamahome talk to each other with the help of Chichiri's powers, arranging to meet the next day in Kutou. Yui overhears their conversation, and is heartbroken upon learning of Tamahome's planned departure and his rejection of her. Yui runs into a surprised Nakago, who gives her a small parcel. He tells her that it is a way of keeping Tamahome there in Kutou with her, and Yui accepts it. In Konan, meanwhile, before Miaka sleeps, she makes a wish upon the stars to really be reunited with Tamahome. When Miaka wakes up the next morning, Nuriko gives her a special doll, which, when a couple's names are written on the doll which is in turn buried in the ground, supposedly makes a couple's love eternal. After having written hers and Tamahome's names on it, Miaka is unnerved to see it break before her very eyes, thinking of it as a bad sign. In Kutou, Yui takes the pill inside the parcel Nakago had given her and tries to put it into Tamahome's food while he sleeps—something she fails to do. When Tamahome wakes up and looks for Yui, he overhears Nakago and Yui's conversation and learns the truth. Miaka leaves to meet Tamahome, along with Chichiri, Tasuki, and, unbeknown to them, Mitsukake's cat Tama. Soon, they find the meeting place Miaka and Tamahome had agreed upon, a gigantic tree. However, when Tamahome tries to talk to Yui, Yui feeds him the dark pill through her mouth, rendering him unconscious. Miaka, Chichiri and Tasuki are caught unawares when, instead of whom they had been waiting for, they are met by Yui, Nakago and a regiment of soldiers.

Miaka is captured by the soldiers as Tasuki and Chichiri escape, hiding somewhere in the palace grounds with a slightly uneasy feeling. When she asks Yui where Tamahome is, although despite not knowing it herself, Yui talks to Miaka coldly. Wondering what could have happened, Yui asks Nakago about the strange pill, but all that Nakago says is that Tamahome is being treated with "the greatest of care". Miaka is thrown into the dungeons by the soldiers, and she escapes with Tama's help, who had unknowingly come with her there. Yui learns of Miaka's escape, and prepares food to lure Miaka to her. Although Miaka then apologizes to Yui and says that she will not leave her as they are best friends, Yui openly declares that she will never forgive Miaka. As they argue, Tamahome enters the room. When Miaka embraces him, he shockingly pushes her off him and hits her with his nun-chucks. Strangely, he acts coldly towards Miaka, but softens up when he talks to Yui. After a failed attempt to hit Miaka's head with his nun-chucks, Tamahome calls for the soldiers to lead her away. However, in his last attack upon Miaka, he had undone one of her hair buns, and one ribbon was left behind. For a moment, he is seemingly crestfallen, then keeps the ribbon with him as he is sent for by Nakago and ordered to kill Miaka, Tasuki and Chichiri. Miaka refuses to let the soldiers lead her away, and Nakago suddenly appears, leading her to a post where Chichiri and Tasuki are tied up. After threatening to "kill" Miaka, Nakago is revealed to be Chichiri in disguise, and that the Chichiri tied up with Tasuki was merely an illusion. Miaka does not tell them about what had happened, and Chichiri leaves, disguised as Nakago, to look for Tamahome. Miaka outwits Tasuki, tying him up against the post again despite his protests, and returns to the tree to wait for Tamahome again.

Miboshi of the Seiryuu Seven enters Chiriko's body, because his old body had died. He then used Chiriko to defeat Miaka and the remaining Suzaku Seven, and therefore controlled his body. Chichiri made a barrier or shield around themselves to protect them from Miboshi, but Miaka's foot stepped away from the shield and caused her danger. Meanwhile, Yui and Nakago were on their way to the ceremony of summoning Seiryuu, after they successfully gathered the two Shinzaho. Yui then told Nakago that she will save her third wish for him after they summon the god. On the other hand, Miaka was in great danger of Miboshi's hands, and Miaka tried to plead for Chiriko to wake up. Then, Subaru and Tokaki of the Byakko Seven became teenagers again using Subaru's power for making physical bodies be the ones they were before. Tokaki saved Miaka and Subaru returned Miaka's voice. Meanwhile, Chiriko is slowly waking up, slowly controlling his own self, but Miboshi is much stronger. But soon afterward, Chiriko was able to control himself from Miboshi, and figured out that he could kill Miboshi by killing himself. He then stabbed himself using Miboshi's rattle. Chiriko is slowly dying that time, and he provided the scroll Taiitsukun gave him to Miaka. After saying farewell, Miaka, Tamahome and Chichiri ran towards the ceremony of summoning Seiryuu, leaving Mitsukake and Tasuki with Chiriko up until the very end of his life.

Tomo escapes to a chamber where he begs someone to forgive his failure, but the person kills him. Taiitsukun pops in and explains that Miaka and Yui's summoning of their gods at the same time has thrown off the usual 100 year cycle, and that everything that happened with Tamahome since he met Kaen was an illusion. The man who killed Tomo reveals himself to be Tenkou, the god Nakago once served, and captures Yui in a globe. Nuriko, Chiriko, Mitsukake and Hotohori materialize as well, as a precursor to Miaka's arrival. Tenkou attacks her, but a Nyan-Nyan protects her.

Taka and Miaka have been together for eight months now. Miaka's new classmate, Shigyou, runs for President of the student council, while Yui also attempts to run for office. Meanwhile, Keisuke and Tetsuya have formed a club in their own school about the Universe of the Four Gods, which a new student named Ms Kamashiro shows interest in and joins. Back at Miaka's school, Shigyou watches from a distance, declaring that humans hold "the true nature of evil" deep in their hearts, and while weaker alone, together they would readily turn on those they deem weaker. Miaka is tricked into meeting Taka on the roofdeck of the school, but realizes that someone has tricked them both. A group of Miaka's classmates trap them on the roof, acting hostile and accusing Miaka of flirting with Shigyou despite being in a committed relationship, an act they deem punishable. Miaka is thrown from the school's roof, and Taka jumps after her to catch her, but they both seem to be headed for disaster. It's then that Suzaku, who has been calling to Miaka for help, arrives and saves them with a scroll of the Universe of the Four Gods before they can hit the ground. Yui, seeing the red light of Suzaku, runs outside to investigate, but runs into Shigyou and Miaka's classmates. After Shigyou wishes her luck in the coming student council elections, Yui finds Suzaku's red scroll on the ground, and realizes where Miaka and Taka might have ended up. Meanwhile, finding themselves suddenly in the book/scroll's world again, Miaka and Taka run encounter Tasuki, who Taka regrettably can only barely remember ever knowing. Chichiri later joins them, supplying Taka with an orb in Tasuki's possession that turns out to contain Tamahome's memories of meeting Tasuki. The reunited friends then head to Mt. Taikyoku for answers, where they are reunited with the spirits of Hotohori, Nuriko, Chiriko and Mitsukake. After Chichiri gives his own memory orb to Taka, who then remembers Chichiri and more of his life as Tamahome with Miaka, Miaka realizes that finding each Suzaku warrior's orbs and returning them to Taka would give him his memories back. Taiitsukun, however, informs her that it won't be quite so easy; conflict and evil are brewing, and it's up to Miaka and the Suzaku Seven to find a way to fight back and win. While this reunion happens in the scroll, in the real world, Shigyou has won the student council presidency, seemingly by default - Yui has not shown up to the election. He makes a speech to the student body about rising up against authority and "being reborn." His speech hypnotizes the students, who applaud him, seeming to fuel his power, which causes a massive earthquake on Mt. Taikyoku. Miaka and the warriors don't have enough time to react, and Miaka finds herself in danger. Tasuki attempts to save her.

Just before a massive earthquake caused by Tenkou brings down Mt. Taikyou, Taiitsukun explains the memory orbs; Miaka and her friends must find the orbs and return them to Taka before the enemy gets his hands on them, or else Taka/Tamahome would disappear forever. As Mt. Taikyoku collapses, Taiitskun uses her power to protect everyone, but Miaka falls. Tasuki attempts to save her, and wakes up in a lake holding an unconscious Miaka. Despite not being a good swimmer, Tasuki manages to pull himself and Miaka to the shore of the lake, and resuscitates her with mouth-to-mouth. Upon reuniting with Chichiri and Taka, Miaka decides they should head to the palace to find their other friends or the orbs. Back in the real world, Yui asks Shigyou why he made her vice president. Unsatisfied by his answer, she leaves. As Yui heads down stairs, a glass window explodes, injuring her. Shigyou then reveals himself as a demon named Renkou, and declares Miaka his enemy. In the world of the book, Miaka and the group arrive at the palace. After explaining their situation to the prime minister, the group are taken to Empress Houki, who is revealed to have fallen ill after giving birth to her son, and has gone mute, seemingly deliberately/by choice. Hotohori, trapped in his spirit form and sent back to the palace by Taiitsukun's power, mourns the fact that he isn't capable of comforting his widow, who cannot see, hear or feel him. Leaving him with Houki, the group encounters Boushin, Hotohori's toddler son, and the future emperor of Kounan. They attempt to speak with him, but the prime minister reveals that he has not spoken a single word since birth, rendering him mute like his mother. To make matters worse, Boushin also cannot see or hear Hotohori, although he seems aware of his presence. They are suddenly attacked by a terrible monster hiding in the teddy bear that Boushin has been carrying around. The creature traps the mortals, who are hesitant to use their powers to attack the monster for fear of hurting the toddler. Fortunately, before the monster can hurt Boushin, Hotohori's spirit enters him and uses his body to defeat the creature. Realizing he now has a physical form, albeit that of a child, Hotohori runs to Houki, who recognizes him when he greets her, and speaks for the first time in a year and a half. Now reunited with her husband, Houki reveals that a warm stone entered her body while in labor, and feeling the warmth leave her body when the baby is born; they all realize that Boushin is in possession of Hotohori's memory orb. A second assassin creature, disguised as a servant preparing to feed Boushin, attacks the toddler. With the help of Tasuki and Nyan-Nyan, Hotohori is able to defeat the monster. This heroic act seems to reveal Hotohori's spirit to his widow and son, but when they attempt to embrace, Boushin merely passes right through Hotohori. Seeing the family's pain, Taka offers Hotohori the use of his body. With Taka's help, Hotohori is able to hold his son for the first time, and hears him speak his first word - "Papa." This in turn gives Taka access to Hotohori's memory orb, and as he sees Tamahome's memories of Hotohori, Hotohori reminds him that Tamahome and Miaka's love has always been so strong that not even the world's most potent controlling potion could tear them apart. The touching reunion and moment is disturbed again, but this time by Suzaku's red light suddenly engulfing Miaka and Taka, taking them back to the real world. Meanwhile, somewhere else in Kounan, a young man with a familiar resemblance to another Suzaku warrior prays at an altar bearing a glass orb.

Miaka and Taka are returned to the real world, finding themselves in the bedroom of a bandaged Yui. Yui tells them of what happened, and warns Miaka not to return to the school until they figure out who Renkou/Shigyou truly is. Taka decides to speak with Keisuke and Tetsuya the following day. After their discussion, Taka tries to reach Miaka, only to realize she isn't home. The boys split up to find her, Tetsuya off to Yui's and Taka to Miaka's. He runs into Miru Kamishiru, the new member of the research club Keisuke and Tetsuya had formed with Taka. While introducing herself, Miru falls faint. When Taka takes her back to his place to tend to her, she bites his ear and paralyzes him with pain. She drops her demure act, laughing as she sarcastically hopes that he "makes it in time." Miaka, meanwhile, has returned to school despite having told Yui and Taka that she wouldn't. At first, everything and everyone seems normal, but at the end of the school day, her mind-controlled classmates corner her again. They take her to Renkou, who tells her that she's about to be killed and that it will be made to look like suicide. Taka fortunately makes it just in time to save her before she can be harmed, and together, he and Miaka use the scroll to defeat Renkou. The scroll seems to become sentient, or controlled by Suzaku, dropping Renkou off the roof of the school as Miaka and Taka are taken back to the universe of the scroll. They find themselves reunited with Tasuki, Chichiri and the spirits of the others as they try to find a way to break into Nuriko's childhood home. Nuriko reveals that his older brother, in pain and bitter about the loss of both of his siblings, is refusing to give up a crystal ball that had once belonged to Nuriko, but now houses his memory orb. As Taka takes hold of the crystal ball, a creature, planted in Taka's body by "Miru's" bite, breaks out and attacks. Chichiri is able to keep it at bay and do his best to protect Taka, who falls unconscious but cannot be detached from the creature safely. The ruckus wakes Rokou, Nuriko's brother, who tries to leave with the crystal ball in an effort to protect one of the last of Nuriko's possessions that he has. Miaka tries to run after him on her own, only to be stopped by Tasuki long enough for him to offer her his help on horseback. After a brief argument stalls them, Miaka is attacked by a venomous snake. Tasuki jumps in front of her with his horse to protect her, and he and the horse are bitten instead. Although he's able to kill the snake, the snake's venom courses through him. Miaka saves him by sucking it out of his body. This gives Miaka the idea to try the same with Taka, as the creature seems to be attached to his blood. Nuriko, who has gone after his brother himself, finds them on the road and takes them back to the house. Because of Miisu's (the true identity of Miru) spell, which has created an idol made out of Taka's blood, Miaka's attempts to suck the poison out only serves to hurt him more.

August 25, 1998 (1998-08-25)
Taka is reunited with his/Tamahome's memories of Nuriko's strength, and the group spend the night in Nuriko's home. Before they can rest, Miaka and Taka are interrupted by Miisu, who paralyzes them both and reveals her spell and motivation. She attempts to control Taka into killing Miaka with his bare hands, but Taka uses a reawakened life force power to destroy the idol Miisu had made from his blood, revealing that his true power and motivation lies in loving and protecting Miaka forever. Tenkou then reveals himself, trapping Taka and Miaka alone with himself, Miisu and Renhou's unconscious body. With the rest of the Suzaku Seven unable to reach the couple, Tenkou steals the memories that Taka had already managed to recover, and Miaka can only watch as Tenkou destroys them. Before leaving, triumphantly feeding on Miaka's rage and pain, Tenkou displays more of his cruelty by disposing of Miisu and Renhou, who had outlived their usefulness to him. The next morning, both Taka and Miaka are distraught over what Tenkou's victory has done. Tasuki, who has been navigating some new feelings about Miaka that he is yet to understand, wonders how and why Miaka would stay with someone who seems to cause her nothing but pain and tears. While wandering alone with his thoughts, Tasuki is attacked by a mysterious rush of water. Taka, after an encouraging conversation with Nuriko about his love for Miaka, finds Tasuki in the woods, only to be attacked and incapacitated by Tasuki, who angrily shames him for hurting Miaka before threatening to take her for himself. In the real world, Yui suddenly falls to her knees, weak and intoxicated, and realizes Miaka is drinking alcohol. In the scroll, Yui's realization is proven to be correct; Tasuki has taken Miaka to a tavern and supplied her with plenty of food and drink. He later takes a drunk Miaka to a private room, where he tells her of his feelings for her, and his anger at Taka for always making her cry. Tasuki attempts to force himself on her, stopping in shock when he realizes she's crying. Taka arrives just then, and although he tries to talk Tasuki down, Tasuki attacks him, determined to keep him away from Miaka. More tears from Miaka, who tells him that she cries for Taka out of love for him, shocks Tasuki back to his senses. Refusing to give in to betraying his friends, Tasuki ashamedly turns his tessen on himself, unintentionally breaking the spell he was under, and is saved by Mitsukake. Although Miaka and Taka readily forgive Tasuki, he apologizes profusely, telling everyone of the water in the woods. Before he can explain any further, the water returns, abducts Miaka, and traps everyone.
8"The Transience of a Water Mirror"
Transcription: "Hakanaki Mizukagami" (Japanese: 儚き水鏡)
August 25, 1998 (1998-08-25)
Trapped in the raging magic floods, Chichiri calls out the name Hikou, demanding he show himself. The group is then shown a memory of a terrible event in Chichiri's past that resulted in the death of Hikou, Chichiri's best friend. Hikou reveals he has arrived to take his revenge on Chichiri by taking away everything he cares about. He leaves with Miaka and renders Chichiri unconscious. Upon waking, Chichiri confirms the memory that was shown to his friends, revealing that he and Hikou had loved the same girl, a young woman Chichiri would have married if she hadn't turned from him in shame after being unfaithful to him with Hikou. The great flood that had ravaged the town had taken the lives of both the girl and Hikou, and although Chichiri had tried to save Hikou, he was injured by a log, resulting in the scar in his eye and causing him to let go of Hikou, who drowned in the flood. Because of this, Chichiri is unsure he can face Hikou and the past he had left behind. Mitsukake encourages him by revealing that he too had lost family in the great flood, and had been strengthened by Shouka, his beloved. His regret in being unable to save her from death twice had reminded him that he was given powers to protect people, and gave him the strength to let go and set himself free. When Taka offers to go find Hikou and Miaka himself, Chichiri decides he himself will go. In Hikou's lair, Hikou reveals he has become a demon god, and is using Miaka's body to put pressure on the other world with his powers, robbing people of their reason and turning their baser desires and passions against themselves and each other. He demonstrates his power by trying to use his power on Yui while she bathes, attempting to make her reveal her bitterness about Miaka and her selfishness. But Yui, not even knowing that Miaka can hear her, proves that her love and concern for Miaka and Taka are sincere. Angered, Hikou fills Miaka's bubble with water, slowly drowning her. Chichiri, along with Tasuki - who still feels shame and wants to atone for what he tried to do to Miaka and Taka, and vowing vengeance on Hikou for doing that to him - and Taka, arrives to save Miaka. Despite Tasuki's and Taka's best attempts, they cannot defeat Hikou. Chichiri decides to trap Hikou himself, using his own body and magic cloak to trap him while demanding that Tasuki set fire to them to release Miaka. Tasuki, at first, cannot do it, as he is plagued by memories of Chiriko's selfless sacrifice and death. It takes encouragement from Taka for Tasuki to find the strength to do as Chichiri asks, and Taka finds a way to both defeat Hikou and save Chichiri. Miaka is freed from her water trap, while Hikou and Chichiri reconcile; Hikou apologizes for what happened with Chichiri's betrothed, and Chichiri apologizes for the events that resulted in Hikou's death. As Chichiri promises Hikou that he will always be his dearest friend, Hikou dies and returns to water, begging Chichiri to forgive him. Miaka, Tasuki, Chichiri and Taka return to the others, where Taka and Tasuki fall asleep out of exhaustion. While those who are awake discuss, a demon god named Yousue attacks, including the sp and traps them, including the spirits, in nearly invisible threads. Before worse damage can be done, a bolt of red energy kills Yousue. Their savior is revealed to be Tamahome, much to everyone's shock.
9"To Be With You Tomorrow"
Transcription: "Ashita Au Tame ni" (Japanese: 未来(あした) 逢うために)
August 25, 1998 (1998-08-25)

Taka and Tasuki awaken, only to realize that Taka has no reflection in a mirror. Taka, frightened of what this could mean, begs Tasuki not to tell anyone, especially Miaka. Things get worse when Chichiri alerts them of trouble.

In the real world, a military ship crashes into an island form that has seemingly appeared out of nowhere. The impact releases a strange light from the island-like form, which destroys the ship and sinks it.

Back in the scroll, Tamahome tells Miaka and the Suzaku warriors how he has come to be with them; having sensed that Taka's form would not survive much longer, Suzaku awakened Tamahome's sleeping form, and had ordered him to return to Miaka. Tenkou's power, apparently, has gotten far too strong, and although the plan had been for Tamahome and Taka - his "phantom replacement" - to eventually merge, this would no longer work, and Suzaku requires Tamahome's strength. Taka is distraught by this, feeling as though everything they had done for him to be reborn to join Miaka and for him to become who he once was has been for nothing, since Suzaku has decided to wake Tamahome anyway. Although the warriors see how this is plausible, they are somewhat reticent to accept this, although they voice that they do. Miaka, in shock and confusion, faints. While she's unconscious, Taka makes the decision to leave, feeling as though there is no more reason to stick around. He returns Tamahome's keepsakes to him, asking him to take care of Miaka. The Suzaku Seven try to convince him to stay, reminding him that he, not Tamahome, had gotten them where they are now, from lending Hotohori his body so he could hold his son, to believing in the goodness and courage of Tasuki, but Taka refuses to stay - his presence will just confuse and hurt Miaka. He is taken back to his room, where Keisuke confronts him for giving up and walking away after everything he and Miaka had been through.

Back in the scroll, Miaka has awakened and realized that Taka is nowhere to be found. She searches in vain for him, while Tamahome decides to tell Miaka "everything." Before accomplishing this, however, he appears to Taka in a mirror in the real world, and reveals his true nature to him—that he had been the phantom, until Tenkou stole all of Taka's memory orbs, including those that hadn't yet been found by Miaka and the others, and planted them in Tamahome, reversing their roles. Horrified and angered, Taka wanders the streets alone.

Tamahome finds Miaka and tells him that Taka had made a "hard" decision to leave, knowing he couldn't stay because he was only a shadow. He tries to convince Miaka that he is the Tamahome she has always loved, and she needs to forget about Taka. Despite his best attempts, however, Miaka cannot forget Taka, and she can sense that there is "something wrong" with Tamahome. Taka, finding strength in his love for Miaka, calls her to him, and she is returned to him in the real world by the real Suzaku's power. While the lovers happily reunite, a news update reports that the island that had appeared in the Pacific is headed to Tokyo. While Tetsuya and Yui discuss whether they should warn the authorities of Tenkou's impending arrival, Keisuke realizes that Tamahome is up to something.

Tasuki and Chichiri ask Tamahome where Miaka has gone. Tamahome, angered that Miaka has left her, attacks his former friends as Tenkou reveals himself and his control over Tamahome. As Tasuki and the Suzaku warriors decide to challenge Tenkou and Tamahome in the name of Miaka and Taka's love, Taka and Miaka make plans of their own in the real world. They bid goodbye to Yui, who belatedly realizes that the couple mean to go back into the scroll to fight, and may never return.

Taka and Miaka are brought directly to Tenkou's lair, where Tamahome, as the demon god Yousue, immediately traps and wounds Miaka. Tamahome challenges Taka, blaming Miaka for hurting him by choosing Taka over him. Taka, in turn, accuses Tamahome of being jealous of him, and momentarily breaks through his resolve. This only serves to anger Tamahome further, who then declares that he refuses to lose to Taka and to himself. He fires a bolt of red energy and thinks Taka is defeated, only for the smoke to clear and reveal that Miaka broke free of her trap and jumped in front of Taka to protect him. As Miaka lays dying in Taka's arms, the Suzaku warriors - the spirits aided by Nyan-Nyan - finally break through the first of Tenkou's barriers, only to find Taka wounded and Miaka dead. This has given Tenkou enough time and power to regain a form in which he can return to the real world and conquer as a god the way he has always wanted to.

Taka, frozen in shock, is awakened by the voice of Miaka, who reminds him that he is stronger than he thinks he is. She promises that she already is and always will be with him. Taka finally understands his strength and purpose, and with the help of Miaka, finally defeats Tamahome by merging with him at last. Suzaku returns a fully formed Taka, carrying Miaka in his arms, to the real world to confront Tenkou. The rest of the Suzaku Seven join them, prepared to defend Taka and Miaka as they always have. Before anything can happen, Taka and Miaka sacrifice their lives and begin to invoke Suzaku, who is joined by Seiryuu, Byakko and Genbu. The reawakened Suzaku reminds Tenkou that he was never a god, but merely a mortal whose greed and corruption led him to be executed for sorcery in the Universe of the Four Gods. The Four Gods come together to seal Tenkou away forever.

The Suzaku Seven are returned to Mt. Taikyoku, where Taiitsukun explains that Taka and Miaka had given up their physical forms to bring Suzaku back and save both the real world and the Universe of the Four Gods. Taiitsukun offers Taka and Miaka a choice of where to be returned to physical form. Although Miaka at first rejoices in the thought of staying in this Universe, the Suzaku warriors convince them both to return to the real world. Miaka awakens in the real world to Taka promising that he is there with her.
