Chained Soldier episode 9 recap
Yukki and Kyouka return from their mission to exterminate the Shukki army successfully. As they return, Izumo waits with the rest of her squad, Nei, Himari, and Shushu. Kyouka then gives Yuuki the night off so he can rest.
Nei detected someone in trouble nearby, forcing Kyouka to deploy Himari and Shushu on a rescue mission. They meet a girl being chased by Shuuki. However, it turns out to be a trick, as the girl is a Humanoid Shuuki named Coco. Himari tries to act within the supreme commander’s parameters and negotiate with the shukki, but Coco rejects it.
Kyouka tells Yuuki to transform and move out. However, Aoba Wakura appears in front of them, eating a mato peach. Aoba then commands Yuuki to stop moving, which he obeys without question. She then wraps him in her hair and kidnaps him, causing regular Shuuki to attack Kyouka.
Later, Yuuki awakens to Coco licking his face. He is then approached and embraced by Aoba and another Shuuki. Aoba tells Yuuki they are in a hidden village away from the defense forces’ radar. She tells him how the mato peaches turned them into hybrid Shuuki. They reveal their hatred for the defense force, claiming a battle between them is unavoidable. The episode ends with Kyouka’s body moving towards Yuuki due to the need for it to give him his reward.
