Episode 7 of Ninja Kamui ignites with Higan in perfect harmony with his Kamui armor, as an exhilarating battle commences between him and the formidable AUZA assassin. This clash witnesses Higan ascending to unprecedented heights of speed, agility, and strength. Within the blink of an eye, he vanquishes the heavily armored foe, who concedes that Higan stands as the paramount ninja he has ever encountered.
However, in an unexpected and dramatic turn of events, the assassin makes a desperate attempt at self-destruction, intending to eradicate Higan in the impending explosion. With lightning-quick reflexes, Higan acts instantaneously, wresting the assassin from their suit mere fractions of a second before it could be consumed by the detonation. His actions convey a profound message; Higan denies the assassin the swift end they seek.
Back at the AUZA headquarters, the CEO is overjoyed with Higan's mastery of the Kamui armor and eagerly seeks to access its operational data. The CEO even broaches the idea with Yamazi of compensating Higan for this information, but Yamazi dismisses it as ludicrous and instructs Zhai to eliminate Higan before he causes further complications for the organization.
As the narrative deepens, Emma recounts her fateful encounter with Mari. More than a mere mentor, Mari was Emma's savior, rescuing her from perilous situations numerous times. In stark contrast to the ruthless and unrelenting ninja clan, Mari was a beacon of kindness, compassion, and care. Despite Emma's facial disfigurement stemming from a tragic accident, Mari treated her with no difference, embracing her with warmth and acceptance.
Emma held Mari in high esteem for embodying the essence of the ninja's creed, emphasizing that Mari's blade was never unsheathed for aggression or lethal purposes, but purely as a shield for protection. To Emma, this was the quintessence of what constituted a genuine ninja. Under Mari's mentorship, Emma acquired a clandestine technique capable of inducing a state of suspended animation in individuals. Moreover, Mari was the inventor of a digital device that facilitated the disguise of those who sought refuge in anonymity.
Their tranquil existence was shattered when Yamazi usurped control of their clandestine organization. The chieftain discovered that Mari had transgressed the ninja code by forming an emotional and physical bond with someone, prompting him to command Emma to terminate Mari. In an attempt to salvage her mentor's life, Emma counseled Mari to relinquish the infant and revert to the ninja's path, but Mari steadfastly refused.
Struggling with the impossibility of betraying her sole confidant, Emma contemplated ending her own life, but Mari intervened, insisting that Emma's destiny was to carry on. Subsequently, Mari defected and went into hiding with Higan. Conversely, Emma chose loyalty, remaining within the organization to monitor the machinations of AUZA and Yamazi. Later, Emma was dispatched to infiltrate the FBI when Mike embarked on an investigation into AUZA's activities.
As the episode draws to a close, the narrative shifts to the present, where Emma reveals to Higan that Yamazi has embarked on the execution of his grand design.
