Stigma of the Wind

Jade Afterimage (1x20)

Air date: Aug 24, 2007

Kazuma questions Burnheart about Lapis and denies that the girl is Tsui-Ling, whom Burnheart sacrificed to a demon. Burnheart in turn, replies that the girl Lapis was that of what remained of Tsui-Ling whom Kazuma failed to protect due to his lack of power. As Kazuma attempts to attack Burnheart, Lapis deflects the blow and shows her power as a "Swordsmaster" by slicing the building they were in in half. Kazuma saves Ren, Ayano, and Kirika but disappears soon after. Back at the Kannagi home, Kirika informs them that a new Pandemonium has appeared and has granted "class changes" to some of its players. Meanwhile, Kazuma, brooding over the happiness of his past with Tsui-Ling, resolves to kill Burnheart and Lapis.
