Ninja Kamui episode 4 recap: Zai confronts Higan
Ninja Kamui episode 4 was less about the intense action and more about Joe Higan’s backstory. The episode starts with a mysterious phone call in which a self-proclaimed exiled ninja assures Higan that they will help him infiltrate Auza City.
Once the potential ally gains Higan’s trust by reciting a verse from a ninja poem, Higan takes Morris and Emma into confidence about the situation. Though Morris asks Higan to be cautious, Higan follows the mysterious caller’s directions.
Moreover, Emma helps Morris and Higan find more intel into Auza City’s intricately designed security system through Dark Web. Later, Higan takes viewers into his past through a flashback. Hence, it is revealed how Zai, the Reaper, was Higan’s ally in the past. Mari, Higan’s dead wife, and Higan broke the ninja code and married each other.
The episode also showcases a roundtable of corporate ninjas discussing ways to trail Higan. Their boss asks them to find Higan and discover his “secret art,” hinting at the situation’s urgency. Finally, Higan infiltrates Auza City with the mysterious caller’s help. Once the protagonist reaches the barrier, Zai appears out of thin air, leading to a potential confrontation between the two ninjas.
