Episodes 9 and 10 started the major story arc of Daigo's adventures, and they all involved a woman. It was Daigo whose soul was open to the signal from Kujaku, trapped for 6,000 years inside a mirror-Gohma. He was instrumental in freeing her, but by that time he was already in love with her, simply from what Doushi Kaku had told him about her. Episode 16 and he tried to convince her to become a gentle, kind person he heard she was before. She returned again in Episode 23, and they were trapped together. Seeing his determination and refusal to give up, she released her anger and gave him her strength. And he learned that she was dying. Because of him, she determined to seek a legendary cure.

Things were quiet for him until episode 34, when he found a cactus he had once cared for that he had lost. It had, he thought, a spirit haunting it. But that was not the true story. It was the cactus itself, given a human spirit-form by a Gohma. She died saving him. Or did she? And in Episode 36, Daigo followed a news report that led him to a trapped Kujaku, and he and the team fought to help her in her quest for the cure. And Daigo's life again became quiet, until Episode 41 when we finally lost Kujaku.
