Onsen Jamboree Episode 6 Part 3

Narration picks up with talking about Kamuy Kotan, describing it as a place completely frozen and a place that Does Not Move Forward. As such, even after the kamui from the heavens offer their flesh and blood to the people, their souls return to the heavens still frozen in time. They then reincarnate and gain a new body, over and over and over not moving forward. The same applies to the wen kamui, the kamui at the end of their transformations. The only thing able to resist against this is the Sword That Cuts Stillness belonging to the young heroes. Only they are able to the release the Shadows of the world from the cycle of reincarnation. The heroes raised by kamui eventually throw themselves into battle to save everyone. In the battles they'd have to sacrifice themselves in, the heroes will then bring about a temporary peace...

 

Despite that, this isn't the end for things. The world continues on instead of stopping with "happily ever after." Koropokkur knows all of that as the one who sees all of this world and its history. People become accustomed to being given things, even if such things include heroes giving their own lives to save them. This eventually turns to pride and greed, and the people's thanks towards heroes die out. At that point, the heroes made unnecessary are chased out from the world. The wen kamui will then flood the world again, hunt the corrupted adults, and the cycle repeats ad infinitum.

 

Koropokkur had some thoughts as he watched this all go on and on. "Growing up is the same as letting your love rot." In comparison to that, the tragic love and self-sacrifice of the young heroes is beautiful and pure. That is the most beautiful thing in the world, he firmly believes.

 

Back to the present, we tune back in at the part where Koropokkur is staring hard at you. He smiles with a mix of frozen emotions and something else. You either ask who he is or point accusingly at him. Koropokkur finally says something to you all event as he greets you and says it's been a while as he refers to you as his little hero. You ask if he means you as you don't think you're that small, and you wonder if he's mistaking you for someone else.

 

Koropokkur insists he'd never mistake who you are, then explains he's not talking about your body. He says people like you who are innocent and without their old memories and just before they grow up makes him want to fuss over you. Kimun Kamui is surprised to see Koropokkur there and recognizes him as he asks to make sure who he is. You ask Kimun if he knows him, if Koropokkur is also from Kamuy Kotan, or ask if that's his name.

 

Kimun says yes and mentions being surprised that he's able to see him. He describes Koropokkur as a kind of fairy that becomes invisible under the shadow of the leaf he holds when one becomes older. He's an eternal child who can only be seen by those shorter than that butterbur leaf. Kagutsuchi repeats that last descriptor in surprise. You turn to Koropokkur and ask him why he's here. Like was he also pulled in too or what? Koropokkur regards you with heavy suspicion before eventually switching to something more clearly like a smile. He answers that he just wanted to see you looking like a hero, and Moritaka reacts to the word hero.

 

Koropokkur elaborates that he wanted to see you blast the evil Wen Kamui away, and Wen laughs at him saying so with him right there. He says he'll let it go though since him being there is the only reason he can fight his past self. Koropokkur Remembering Him is also why Wen can revive from within Kimun. You take note of this in shock and ask if Koropokkur is why Wen has been showing up. Wen cackles as he calls up ciramantep to what he refers to as the final battle, and all remaining mobs appear at his crazed call as the episode battle starts. More story afterwards.

 

After the battle, the story tunes in midway and describes the fight as a chaotic sprawling melee. Kagutsuchi beats back some mobs and says he won't let them get closer. Moritaka swings with his sword, then apologizes as he says he hit the mobs with the back of his sword. After a moment he comments to himself about how much more familiar he is to fighting with his own sword.

 

The Evils yell, and Aizen tells your opponents to look at his purge and at the light of love. Aizen fires a ton of light bullets that land around Wen, and the energy fired off vaporizes the snow. The steam from the evaporation weakens the senses. Kimun loses his footing for a sec, and you jump in to assist him. Wen laughs and prompts you to run him through with your sword as he calls you hero. He was originally planning on having him and Kimun take each other out at the same time, but he says he's okay with this ending too. That way he won't be forgotten again. Kimun reacts in shock to this, and Wen says that as long as he's carved himself into Kimun he'll be fine with that. His jumbled emotions release as he yells out and cackles.

 

Koropokkur says Wen is telling you to go on, so he prompts you to get on with it. It's not like you need to hesitate against someone who'll hurt people right? You just need to protect the weak. That's what love is, right? That's what a hero's battle is like, right?? Now show him what a real strong hero is like already! Moritaka cuts in to talk to Koropokkur asking him to wait.

 

Koropokkur waits for Moritaka to go on, and Moritaka asks to confirm that he said to cut Wen down like a hero should. Koropokkur stands by that and says a hero is someone who's stronger than anyone else and fights to protect others even if they get hurt themselves. Moritaka says there are points in there that he does agree with, but he asks exactly who is the hero fighting for here.

 

Koropokkur thinks this is a dumb question but answers that the answer should be obvious. It's the weakest and most hurt of all. That's the sort of person a hero fights for. Moritaka decides to ask a different question then. He asks why Koropokkur doesn't see Wen, Who Is Hurting HImself, as the hurt party here. You say Moritaka's name and/or quietly look at him.

 

Moritaka starts talking about how someone he respects who teaches him used to be a warrior that became a hero of the battlefield. He claimed victory after victory, he won the hand of his beloved bride, but in the end, both of them were driven to misery. One day that mentor told him something: "your vision is narrow." He asked Moritaka what he wanted to save in his desire to become a hero, telling him he hadn't come up with an answer to that.

 

Moritaka then talks about who would be the one most hurt, which you guys have learned in going through the scout jamboree. Moritaka then declares that Wen is none other than Kimun himself. In which case, Wen is not to be defeated. He is someone to be saved. You agree with Moritaka and say the Jamboree is on until you all get home, so you guys are gonna get there safe and sound.

 

Wen is shocked at first, then gets angry as he yells for you to stop sympathizing with him. He asks if you're calling him weak, bringing up his fur that's thick enough to repel swords and his sharp claws. Kimun talks to himself as he has a realization about who gets hurt when giving kindness. Wen starts getting confused by what Kimun is doing, and Kimun starts addressing everyone in the party. He thanks you all for coming to save him and calls you all his friends. He also says he finally understands what he needs to do.

 

You try to ask Kimun what he's doing, and he says his sword was meant to be used for a certain purpose. Wen is shocked and demands that he stop. The episode section ends with Kimun stabbing himself.
