In the episode 'Eating the Fruit from Beyond the Evil Mirror', the masters of Nura Clan are faced with a difficult decision. The clan has been holding an annual meet where they offer their respects to the Spirit of the Age. The Spirit of the Age is a powerful entity that is said to bring good fortune to the clan for the coming year. However, this year, the Spirit has demanded something unusual; an offering of the rare fruit that can only be found in the Mirror World.
The clan leaders are wary of the Mirror World, as it is a world populated by yokai who have been corrupted by their greed and envy. However, they have no choice but to send out a group of their strongest warriors to retrieve the fruit. The young Nura Rikuo, who is half-human and half-yokai, sets out with his friends on this dangerous mission.
As they journey through the Mirror World, the group must overcome numerous obstacles. They encounter a cursed river, where the water has turned into blood and any living being who falls into it will be devoured by the yokai. Later, they enter a dark forest where every tree is alive and can move on its own.
The group discovers that the fruit they are looking for is located in the heart of a castle where a powerful yokai resides. The yokai has the power to make any evil desire come true. It is revealed that the Spirit of the Age has orchestrated this mission to test the clan's integrity. The only way to defeat the yokai and retrieve the fruit is by staying true to themselves and resisting their own greed.
The episode continues to ramp up the tension as the group battles through the castle. They are chased by a pack of psychotic dog yokai that can turn invisible. Even worse, they are also pursued by ninjas from the rival faction of the Kiyojuji Clan, who are also after the fruit.
Finally, the group makes it to the yokai's chamber. They are confronted by the yokai's henchmen who summon giant fire monsters. In the heat of the battle, Rikuo discovers a new power within him and transforms into his full yokai form.
The action sequences are intense, with the group fighting off the yokai henchmen and the fire monsters. Rikuo and his strongest ally, the onmyoji Yura Keikain, face off against the powerful yokai. Rikuo uses his new powers to defeat the yokai, which reveals to the group that the yokai is actually the long lost father of a member of their party.
The fruits are retrieved, and the group returns to the clan headquarters. There, the Spirit of the Age appears to bless the clan and thank them for their honorable actions. It is a satisfying ending to a thrilling episode that explores themes of integrity, honor, and the dangers of greed.
