When Azuma sees the Buranki approaching the train that's transporting Oubu, he recognizes it as the headless Buranki that attacked his family on Treasure Island ten years ago. Frozen in place, it seems Azuma is about to be trampled underfoot, but Kinoa saves him in the nick of time with Hoemaru and Himekiri. The relieved Kogane joins them along with Hiiragi and Shizuru, when the four Bubuki come together, the heart in Azuma's hand radiates an intense light in concert with a shining beam emitted by the skeleton of Oubu.
Kazuki Azuma returns to Japan after ten years away, only to be chased down by the Bubuki police. He's saved by a childhood friend, Asabuki Kogane, and her right-hand-shaped Bubuki. He then meets the Bubuki users Nono Hiiragi, Ougi Kinoa, and Taneomi Shizuru. Azuma has never even heard of Bubuki, but after learning that he's the user of the "heart" Bubuki, he makes his way to the Buranki prison in Shinjuku's underground to awaken the sleeping Buranki called Oubu.
Azuma stares in stunned shock at Oubu, now reduced to bones, as Hiiragi, Kogane, and the others successfully hold off Matobai. Hiiragi realizes this is the best chance to awaken Oubu and demands the heart Bubuki from Azuma, but Azuma insists he has no such thing. Believing that the heart Bubuki will react if its owner is in danger, he attacks Azuma with Iwatooshi!
