Episode 8 of "Ninja Kamui" kicks off with a captivating monologue delivered by the CEO of AUZA Enterprises, who boasts about his cutting-edge AUZA reactor. This marvel of engineering churns out an astonishing 2.5 million kW/s, equivalent to the combined output of 1.5 nuclear power plants. Complementing this technological wonder is a newly discovered energy source known as ku-barium, capable of generating boundless heat through fusion reactions. The CEO extols its virtues as a clean and cost-effective solution, emphasizing his ambition to construct additional power plants fueled by this revolutionary substance. However, his aspirations hit a roadblock with opposition from the Secretary of the Department of Energy. Undeterred, the CEO reveals that he has already greased the wheels of power by bribery, securing the necessary approvals underhandedly.
Elsewhere, Emma unveils Yamazi's sinister plot to Higan. A pivotal aspect of Yamazi's scheme involves using AUZA's forces as his enforcers, with the ultimate goal of seizing control of all energy infrastructures and stealthily wresting power from within each country. Emma lambasts the organization as merely a puppet controlled by AUZA, asserting that Yamazi and his cronies have abandoned the noble ninja code of honor and respect.
As the episode unfolds, Emma initiates an EMP bomb, sending shockwaves of electromagnetic pulses that disable all electrical devices, creating an opportunity for her and Higan to slip away from the city's clutches. With a clear escape route in mind, Emma plots their next move: heading to an unfinished power plant to harness its untapped energy to fuel the Gusoku Gear. They also devise a plan to pilfer portable energy tanks to sustain their mission. Before embarking on this perilous journey, Emma cautions Higan to keep his emotions and anger in check, emphasizing the importance of harnessing the Kamui armour's full potential without distraction.
Emma breaches the heavily guarded atomic facility, her mission accomplished as she secures the portable energy tanks. But as she makes her getaway, her path is blocked by a ruthless AUZA assassin, armed and dangerous. Just when it seems all hope is lost, Higan steps in, once again rescuing Emma from impending doom. Confronted with an armored adversary wielding metallic caterpillar-like weapons, Higan struggles in the fierce battle. Emma, swift and decisive, turns the tide by severing the power supply, forcing the villain to retreat under the cover of darkness.
Elsewhere, Mike unveils a dark secret to Jason: AUZA employs ninjas to eliminate their rivals and adversaries. With a solemn promise to shield Jason, Mike tasks him with uncovering more about AUZA. However, Jason's efforts hit a wall due to the formidable encryption on Emma's laptop, which Mike had illicitly obtained by breaking into an office.
When Emma receives the alert about her stolen laptop, she leaves a covert message for Mike, summoning him to their usual rendezvous point—a cozy bar where Mike once imparted words of wisdom about teamwork and mutual support.
As the episode draws to a close, Higan and Emma confront Mike, filling him in on all the twists and turns of their journey, including Emma's secret identity as a ninja. Mike, however, is disheartened by Emma's continued lack of trust despite their shared experiences. Emma extends a heartfelt apology, and Mike, in return, opens up about his late daughter. They delve into AUZA's sinister schemes and advanced technologies but acknowledge their shortage of concrete evidence. With determination in their hearts, they vow to gather more data, aiming to expose AUZA's hidden agendas to the world.
