Those Two Have a Lot of Issues.

Those Two Have a Lot of Issues. (色々あんだよ. あの二人には) is the third episode of the Ayaka: A Story of Bonds and Wounds anime series.

Synopsis
Yukito and Jingi visit the First Island, a popular tourist destination. There, they meet Ibuki, another former disciple of Yukito's father, but one who has a very different view on how to handle Ara-Mitama.

Plot Summary
Jingi and Yukito travel to the first island via the Marine Liner. Yukito is thrilled by this, and Jingi tells him that Yukito also enjoyed traveling this way as a child. The two meet Inou, who suggests that Jingi show Yukito around the tourist areas of the island.

Jingi leaves Yukito alone in the tourist area, and Yukito encounters an Ara-mitama. Though he attempts to pacify it, Aka comes and shoots it with a gun. He reveals to Yukito that the bullets are spells. Aka recognizes Yukito, though Yukito does not remember him. Aka brings Yukito to his headquarters in GOZ, where they find Jingi cooking at the restaurant.

Aka explains to Yukito that his method of dealing with Ara-mitama is very different than other Ley masters -- he does not pacify them but exterminates them. He does this because he believes it is a better way of preventing people from dying. He feels that Haruaki's method of pacifying Ara-mitama to restore balance and harmony is insufficient and puts peoples' lives in danger. He feels that Haruaki does not care about anything other than following the teachings of their dead master.

Ibara comes and reports to Aka that the main body of the Ara-mitama that they encountered earlier has been found, and the two leave to exterminate it. Jingi and Yukito leave GOZ, and Jingi explains to Yukito that the many tourists on the first island have disrupted the Ley energy of the island. He explains further that a barrier has been erected around the tourist areas, but that a few Ara-mitama manage to sneak through this a few times a year. Jingi thinks that Ayaka Security, founded and managed by Aka, does a good job at protecting the island. He warns Yukito that though both Aka and Haruaki were students under Yanagi, the two do not get along, and he advises Yukito to avoid mentioning Aka and Haruaki to one another -- "those two have a lot of issues."

Jingi leaves Yukito stating that he forgot to collect his allowance from Aka. Yukito, talking to himself, reveals that he feels that he can see himself in the Ara-mitama. While walking the streets, he comes to the scene of the Ara-mitama. He is told by Makita to leave the area, but Yukito identifies himself as a Ley master wanting to help. Yukito attacks the Ara-mitama but fails. Ayaka Security forces fire multiple rounds at the Ara-mitama but they are insufficient to combat the monster.

Aka uses black magic to destroy the Ara-mitama, consuming its eye in his aim to become stronger -- stronger than the dragon. After the credits, Aka collapse into an alley and Ibara tends to him.
