Ep 6. Loser x Master

Loser x Master is the sixth episode of the first season of Kemono Michi: Rise Up, an anime television series. The episode follows Genzou Shibata, a professional wrestler who was summoned to a fantasy world as a hero and forced to fight monsters. In this episode, Genzou meets Shigure, a master of demons who challenges him to a duel.

The episode begins with Shigure challenging Genzou to a duel by throwing a rock at him with a message attached. Genzou accepts the challenge and goes to meet Shigure in the forest, where the duel will take place. Before the fight begins, Shigure explains the rules: the winner will be the one who manages to defeat the other, and the loser will be at the mercy of the winner, who can do whatever they want with them.

Genzou, confident in his abilities as a wrestler, enters the duel without any fear. Shigure, however, proves to be a powerful opponent, using her agility and martial arts skills to dodge his attacks and counterattack. The fight is intense and both combatants deal vicious blows, but in the end, Genzou loses the fight and becomes Shigure's slave.

Shigure tells Genzou that she wants him to train her in wrestling, as she believes it can give her an edge in her fights against demons. Genzou, at first reluctant, eventually agrees to the request when he learns that Shigure was bullied by other demons and wants to learn to defend herself. He also sees potential in her to become a great wrestler.

The episode then follows their training session, where Genzou teaches Shigure the basics of wrestling, from grappling to submission holds. Shigure proves to be a fast learner and quickly picks up the techniques. As they train, the two become closer and develop a friendship.

Meanwhile, other characters in the show are busy with their own tasks. Hanako, a werewolf girl, tries to find a herb that can cure the poison that her father, the village chief, has been afflicted with. Carmilla, a vampire woman, helps her in the search, using her powers of persuasion to gather information from the locals. In the end, they manage to find the herb and cure Hanako's father.

Back at the training camp, Genzou and Shigure continue to train, with Genzou teaching her more advanced techniques. Shigure is grateful for Genzou's help and admires his determination to become a wrestler, despite the challenges he faces in a world of fantasy creatures. Genzou, on the other hand, sees Shigure as a valuable ally and friend.

The episode ends on a cliffhanger, as a group of demons led by a mysterious figure gatecrashes their training session. Shigure and Genzou are caught by surprise, but they are determined to defend themselves and fight back.

Overall, Loser x Master is a great episode that shows the characters' development and introduces new challenges for them to face. It has excellent fight scenes, humor, and heartwarming moments that will leave viewers wanting more.
