WARNING! |
Unji Zuma vs. Dark Knight is a battle that took place on the National Border Hill inside the Danmara (Dimension). Momo, unable to use her powers, is attacked by the giant guardian. Out of nowhere, Unji Zuma jumps in and faces the Dark Knight.
Prologue[]
After Momo and Okarun are brought to the Renjaku Apartments by Unji's gang coleader Raiya, the delinquents argue to push back the old man Daiki Hakono inside the diorama so they could swap him with Unji and retrieve their dear friend. Daiki, who survived inside the dangerous world for over twenty years, naturally refused and eventually started swinging his sword around to protect himself. Momo, who stood behind him, took a couple of steps back to not get slashed when she accidentally touched the cursed object, transporting her high into the sky of the inner dimension.

The National Border Hill's slippery slope.
Thankfully her descent was slowed down by using a valley of candies as cushions, thus surviving the fall. Then a notification popped up in front of her, congratuling her entrance to Danmara and handing her a card displaying four mysterious seals. Momo couldn't bother to find a way to escape so she decided to search for Zuma, venturing through ruins and candy jungles, discovering that the sweets there were delicious. She eventually reached the gate of the National Border Hill and took a sword identical to Daiki's on a stand. Once inside, she noticed that the floor was fresh cream, making walking difficult. Furthermore, right in front of her stood a giant slope with ropes scattered around, forcing her to climb it to proceed. When a second notification appeared, she realized that she's playing a game and tried to get progress by crossing the hill, though the slippery ramp made her slide down a couple of times, frustrating her. Without warning, the stone wall behind her is blown up by the gigantic Dark Knight.
Battle[]
The Dark Knight approaching Momo.
Upon spotting her, the guardian doesn't falter and crashes his shield onto the bricks below, scattering chunks of the wall her way. Momo manages to escape unharmed and moves her arm forward to block the flying debris with her power, when shockingly, she discovers that her powers can't activate. She panics when the Dark Knight slides his massive sword into the ground and slashes upwards, prompting her to throw herself to the side. She recovers and attempts to utilize her psychokinesis while running away, confused as to why it's not working. More sections of the wall are hurled her way so she begs the Dark Knight to stop, scared for her life. The guardian remains stern and prepares to strike downwards to kill her in one blow. Momo can't do anything but hold her tiny sword while trembling, screaming for Okarun to come and save her. Out of nowhere, Momo is grabbed and carried away from the tremendous slash which destroyed everything in its path. Her sword falls down and by looking upwards, she's shocked to see that her savior was not Okarun, but someone else.
Unji obliterating the Dark Knight with his umbrella.
Upon landing two more brick sections are hurled their way, which get broken apart by two flying umbrellas, levitating around Unji. He asks her if she can walk and lays her down on the ground, preparing to face off against the Dark Knight, who has already understood the boy's power and he thus covers himself with his shield, waiting for the right moment to strike. Unji stares back at the giant warrior, and once he picks up his umbrella, the Dark Knight doesn't hesitate and tries to stab him with his sword. Unji runs forward and parries the attack with his umbrella's tip, unleashing a powerful shockwave that shakes the battlefield. They struggle to overwhelm the other by sheer physical strength so Unji resorts to opening up his umbrella, emitting a cataclysmic energy beam which demolishes the entirety of the Dark Knight's sword, even reaching and piercing his entire right arm and shoulder. Still taken aback from the attack, Unji doesn't waste time and boosts forward with his other umbrella while the used one swirls and collapses on itself. The boy jumps onto the flying bricks and treats them like platforms to land on the Dark Knight's head. He then shoves his weapon down into the guardian's helmet, and upon opening it, a devastating cannon shreds the Dark Knight's internal organs. The guardian cannot fight back and he collapses, his life taken by Unji as he slowly descends to the ground with his opened umbrella, ending the battle.
Aftermath[]
The Dark Knight's card.
Unji lands on one leg and demands to know who the girl is and the reason why she entered the diorama. She explains that she's looking for Unji Zuma, so the boy undoes his yokai transformation, revealing that she has just found him. Momo is surprised and asks him to return the golden ball he possesses, however Unji reasons that if she knows about the Kintama then she too must have supernatural abilities. He declines, stating that in the world they are trapped in the only way to use these powers is by having the golden ball but he offers to give it back once he has completed his mission. Momo finally understands why he needed it for and Unji reveals that a mysterious man approached him, who was somehow aware of his powers and his craving of destruction. He had accompanied him to the Kamigoe Police Box where Rin Sawaki had previously deposited the lost Kintama and he easily retrieved it without further questions. The man apparently couldn't enter the diorama and hired Unji to wreck the world inside, which was filled with monsters. He took out every single one, astonishing Momo because she indeed didn't bump into a single one while she ventured. Now allies, Momo points out that the world is setup as a board game and they just need to progress through the stages instead of defeating every monster they meet. Together, they set off to beat the game while Okarun and the others outside search for a way to bring them out.
They later discover that by taking down the Dark Knight, the game had delivered them with the Carmine card, which spawns a sword and a shield when activated to fight with.
