In Hakkenden: Eight Dogs of the East season 1 episode 2 titled "Humans and Demons", we are introduced to several new characters and learn more about the world they inhabit. The episode begins with our main character, a teenage boy named Shino, searching for his missing companion, a dog spirit named Murasame. Along the way, he encounters a young girl named Hamaji who is searching for her brother. Shino agrees to help her in exchange for her help in finding Murasame.

As they continue their journey, they are attacked by a group of demons. Shino is able to defeat them with his sword skills, but Hamaji is captured. Shino follows the demons to their hideout, where he meets a man named Genpachi who claims to be a demon hunter. Genpachi agrees to help Shino rescue Hamaji, but only if he can prove that he is not a demon himself.

Meanwhile, we learn more about the world of Hakkenden. Demons are feared and hunted by humans, but some humans possess the ability to transform into demons themselves. These humans are known as the "Fusehime," and their powers are highly coveted. Hamaji's brother is one of these Fusehime, and she believes that he has been taken by the demons because of his powers.

Shino and Genpachi set off to rescue Hamaji, but they are met with fierce resistance from the demons. They eventually find Hamaji, but she is being guarded by a powerful demonic beast. Shino is able to defeat the beast with the help of his friends, but not before they learn that the demon hunters are not all they seem.

The episode ends with Shino and Hamaji parting ways, but promising to meet again. As Shino continues his search for the other "hachimono" (the eight dog warriors), we are left wondering what other dangers and secrets await him in this fantastical world.

Overall, "Humans and Demons" is a thrilling and action-packed episode that expands upon the world and characters introduced in the first episode. The animation and fight scenes are well done, and the addition of new characters adds depth and intrigue to the story.
