Episode 3: A Silver Fox Bound by Fate

The residents find Sora in Ginjiro's room, much to Seikichi's jealousy. Akai later ambushes Ginjiro in a nearby forest with the help of the group of armored men, known as the Men in Black. However, this was a test of combat skills orchestrated by Yozo Torii, who reveals that Ginjiro is destined through lineage to become the leader of the Men in Black. It is said that two meteors harboring the two sky beasts, had landed in the forest, though the white sky beast is still on the loose. Ginjiro is reminded of the story of the Silver Fox and the Night Flower, who were once recruited by Heihachiro Oshio to raid and inflame various storehouses that have caused poverty, however Oshio had committed suicide out of cowardice.
