“Ishura” Episode 5 Recap and Explained: “Ishura” is a twelve-episodic dark anime series based on the best-selling manga of the same name. The anime adaptation is currently streaming on Disney Plus Hotstar with only five episodes, while the rest will be coming weekly. In this article, we are going to discuss the recap of the fifth episode, but before this, let’s have a quick recap of the story of this anime series.
There was an age of the Demon King where he controlled the whole world, but after his death, all the heroes around the world gathered together to prove their powers.
Episode 4 was slow but steady. We got a glimpse of “Nihilo: The Vortical Stampede,” a bio-weapon that had the ability to kill down a whole army. On the other side, “Kia: the World Word” is truly capable of majestic power and can control nature. Let’s know who is waiting next.
It started with a prologue again. When the True Demon King died, the enemy of the world that filled the horizon with fear was defeated by someone. After that day, the Hero became unknown. After decades when the age of fear is coming to an end, that lone hero has to be chosen.
Back to Lithia, where we see Taren talking with “Shalk: The Sound Slicer” and “Higuare: The Pelagic.” As Lana has successfully secured them and brought them to Lithia. As Taren is still trying to find “Kia: The World Word,” it is still hard for her.

Higuera was born in the far west in a place unknown to the Minian Races. He looked like a huge haul. A man kidnapped him and asked him to learn the use of the sword. Higuare, a trunk-like creature who fights with his twigs. The place where he stays, the order is to kill or die. His opponent levels are increasing day by day, but he is unstoppable as nobody can touch him.
“Kill or Die” is the only thing he learned, and the man who bought him earns money by using him in the fights. Later, that man sells him to another city. A giant, a shooter; nobody could defeat him. Higuare turned into the “strongest Gladiator” in the city. No one can defeat “Higuare: The Pelagic.” He just doesn’t wish to die at any cost.
One day, the army of demon kind attacked the city. Armies and soldiers are unable to fight with dead armies. But Higuare stands still and started fighting. He started killing like a machine maniacally. So, people saw him while slaying the Demon King army, alone.
Dakai comes and meets with “Shalk: The Sound Slicer,” “Higuare: The Pelagic,” and also Lana. Dakai is really speechless watching Higuare and Shalk, but he can feel their power. Taren added that she requires an army with a unique ability. Shalk clarifies as a mercenary. Until getting the reward in advance, working would be a breach of his principles.
Meantime, Dakai tested the post of Higuare, which is really impressive. Interestingly, Higuare is capable of using 42 arms at a time. He also has poison in his sword, which can deliberately kill a person. He obeys everyone but can’t be ruled by anybody. Higuare is a free slave. He is a Gladiator, a mandrake. He is “Higuare: The Pelagic.”
On the other side, near “Raishi, Mountain Village,” Hidow met with Kuze. He has an angel with him. Kuze went to a bar and met with “Ripel: The Forest Leaf”; he also introduced her to “Nihilo: The Vortical Stampede.” Nihilo agreed to help Hidow in exchange for her release. On the other side, Kuze survived from the Demon King era. He has an angel with him. We know about the Aureatia soldier coming to defeat the Vikeon, the giant black dragon, we saw earlier.
They met with kids there. What we know about Kuze is that he is a responsible man always smiling on his face. It’s been like four years since he is living here. When Ripel came to meet with him, she asked, “Won’t you cooperate with Lithia?” After the Sixth General soldiers came, people from LITHIA came to investigate. They said if those people help them, they must support the Church. Ripel and Kuze both are religious people and support it.

But Kuze can’t help her in this matter as he is working with Hidow from Aureatia. After he denied, two people attacked them. From his luggage, he opened a shield, a shield with great power. He asked not to kill them, and then a sprinkle of light; those men are falling down on the floor. What he was carrying with him is an Angel, but because of her invisible attack, Ripel also died with unfortunate. Nihilo, she died once before. But she hasn’t seen any Angel what Kuze saw. He thinks that angels are alone too.
The angel he carried with him has also a great ability. She is undetectable by anyone in this world; nobody can see and feel her without Kuze. Kuze is immune to interference by any means, an immaterial consciousness. Since the dawn of the world, has possessed the absolute authority to end life, but she comes silently and takes everything without any notice. The embodiment of the Fate of Death, a stabber, and an angel. She is “Nastique: The Quiet Singer.”
That’s it. That’s how this episode ended. Good first half but a little bit dragged last half. We saw “Higuare: The Pelagic,” who is a Mandrake and capable of controlling multiple swords. On the other side, an Angel who can be invisible and kill anyone silently “Nastique: The Quiet Singer.”
The fifth episode of “Ishura” is currently streaming now on Disney Plus Hotstar with Japanese language along with subtitles.
