In episode 105 of Bounen No Xamdou, titled "The Magistrate of Lies," Akiyuki is faced with a difficult decision that will shape his destiny. The episode starts with Akiyuki receiving news about his father's location, and his resolve to rescue him is stronger than ever. However, mysterious events surround him, and he finds himself torn between his personal desires and a greater cause.
The episode begins with Akiyuki overhearing a conversation between Nakiami and other crew members on board the postal airship, Zanbani. They discuss the worsening conditions in Sentan Island, including the escalating tensions between the Northern Government and Southern Government and their oppressive methods to maintain order. These discussions open Akiyuki's eyes to the reality of the world he lives in.
Meanwhile, Haru, one of Akiyuki's friends, seeks guidance from a peculiar old woman known as Kujireika. With her enigmatic powers, she can tell fortunes and reveal the path they must take. Haru's encounter with Kujireika provides her with unsettling visions of the future, leaving her anxious and unsure of what lies ahead.
Back on the Zanbani, Akiyuki seeks advice from Nakiami, who reveals the truth about the rare and mysterious phenomenon known as Xam'd. She explains that those infected by Xam'd possess extraordinary powers but gradually lose their humanity. Akiyuki learns that he too carries the potential to become a Xam'd, and this realization further complicates his decision-making process.
As the Zanbani approaches the Magistrate's district, Akiyuki and several crew members disembark, including Haru, who is determined to fulfill her own mission. The district is known for its opulence, where the Magistrate and his underlings thrive while the rest of the Sentan Island suffers from poverty and oppression. The crew members split up to maximize their chances of success.
Akiyuki, Nakiami, and Tajimamori infiltrate the district and witness the stark contrast between the wealthy and the downtrodden. They encounter Miyu, a young girl they had previously helped, and she leads them to the underground chambers where the true extent of the Magistrate's evil deeds are revealed.
In the depths of the underground chambers, the trio discovers that the Magistrate experiments on innocent civilians, using their life force to create powerful weapons known as Humanform Weapons. The grotesque sight shocks Akiyuki and fuels his determination to put an end to this cruelty.
However, their mission takes a sudden turn when they come face-to-face with Medaka, Akiyuki's childhood friend who had disappeared years ago. Medaka is under the Magistrate's control, transformed into a mindless weapon. A tragic battle ensues as Akiyuki tries to save Medaka while defending himself against her relentless attacks.
Through the chaos and despair, Nakiami reveals her true identity as a member of the Northern Government's military force, The Free Zone Allied Forces. Though Akiyuki initially struggles to trust her, Nakiami proves her loyalty by helping him defeat Medaka without causing her harm.
As the episode concludes, Akiyuki stands bewildered by the revelations and the difficult choices he has made. The lines between right and wrong blur as he realizes the complexity of the world he lives in. With newfound determination, Akiyuki embraces his destiny as he sets forth on a path to liberate Sentan Island from corruption and injustice.
