| After defeating Shinnosuke Kagami and temporarily driving back the otherworldly threat, Kaede was rapidly growing into his role as the eastern Azure Dragon. Yet Hell’s Gate remained open in the sky. Its sealing key and method were still mysterious, while its ominous influence continued to reach the living world. A ray of hope appeared: the Western-organized Battle Coliseum promised its winner any reward, money or knowledge. Victory might yield the knowledge needed to close the Gate. Kaede rose with Hayatemaru in hand, no longer the timid boy of the past. “I’ll seal Hell’s Gate myself… in the name of the eastern Azure Dragon!” |
