Black Torch Episode 4 Brief Recap

This scene is from the anime Black Torch. The characters shown are Reiji and Jiro Azuma.

Black Torch Episode 4, Two Is Not Enough, finally shifts the series from setup to its first major mission. The episode opens with Jiro and Reiji facing off in a sparring match arranged by Shiba, exposing their clashing personalities and mutual distrust while highlighting the need for teamwork. Although neither fighter claims a decisive victory, both gain a better understanding of each other’s strengths.

Afterward, the Black Torch team travels to a Bureau shrine built over the death obsidian seal that once imprisoned Rago. During questioning, Rago recalls fragments of his release, revealing that another mononoke had urged him to reclaim their lost glory and seek revenge against humanity and the Bureau of Espionage. Reiji concludes that whoever freed Rago possessed extensive knowledge of the ancient seal and likely knew him before his imprisonment.

The investigation is abruptly interrupted when a hostile mononoke appears inside the shrine, while Shiba and Ichika find themselves locked outside. The episode ends on a tense cliffhanger, setting up Black Torch‘s first true mission and an imminent battle in Episode 5.

What to Expect From Black Torch Episode 5?

This scene is from Black Torch, featuring protagonist Jiro Azuma and escort Ichika Kishimojin. The characters are shown in a tense moment inside a surveillance van during Episode 3, titled "WHAT'S MY NAME?".

Episode 5 will pick up immediately after Episode 4’s cliffhanger, with Jiro and Reiji trapped inside the shrine as a hostile mononoke launches its attack. Meanwhile, Shiba and Ichika remain sealed outside, forcing the two rivals to work together without backup. The episode is also expected to continue exploring the mystery behind Rago’s release and the growing threat posed by the mononoke seeking revenge against the Bureau of Espionage.

Fans can also expect additional clues about the unidentified figure who freed Rago and the larger conspiracy involving the death obsidian seal. We will get to see more about Rago’s past and his powers, and how his “Venom-Eddy”-like symbiotic relationship with Jiro evolves with time. However, these developments are based on the source material and should be treated as informed expectations rather than officially confirmed events.
