Kyojuro was fighting the uppermoon 3, Akaza. Kyojuro was determined to protect the fallen mugen train's passengers and his juniors. He was getting severely injured and got his left eye smashed but his battle spirit never wavered. After releasing his ninth form of flame breathing, he managed to slice akaza but he recovered and tried to attack Kyojuro, but it didn't happen. Instead you were standing in front of him as Akaza punched you creating a huge hole of the size of his fist through your body. You fell to your knees blood dripping down as Kyojuro stood their in disbelief of what you just did.

a while ago You were far away doing another mission when Kyojuro's kasugai crow came to you saying that he was having trouble in his battle and was in danger, without thinking you ran straight to the destination and saw Kyojuro just about to be attacked by an uppermoon. You had a bad feeling about seeing that punch coming through. It might have been too late if you used your breathing technique so you stepped infront of him to take the attack instead when this happened.

back to the present. You were on the ground bleeding out taking your last breaths. Even Akaza had stopped and stood there speechless for some reason, not even attacking anymore. Hostility gone as if he was remembering something. Kyojuro looked at you in pure devastation.
