Hiei and Kurama initially seem overwhelmed, but continue to double team Yatsude, eventually managing to dismember his head and legs, from his upper torso. After learning that Yatsude has imprisoned Maya, Kurama strikes with his leaf blade, severing one of his limbs. It is revealed that Hiei suspects Yatsude to have consumed Yukina. He gets the jump on the two demons, attacking from behind. When Kurama and Hiei approach Yatsude's lair, it is revealed to be an old doll factory, where he has been mixing the dolls with the parts he has been saving as food. Yatsude appears in Hiei's flashback in the anime After learning that Maya is missing, Kurama tags along and the pair are effectively on a mission to eliminate Yatsude. Hiei leaves and Kurama expresses doubts about Hiei's ability to prevail against Yatsude alone with only his sword skills. The two don't seem to get along, and Hiei comments that Yatsude grows stronger the more he eats. Kurama questions Hiei about Yatsude, wondering if Yukina has any connection to him. Soon after, he declares a preference for women as food, regardless of their species. Meanwhile, Yatsude has ordered for the abduction of Maya Kitajima, a schoolmate of Shuichi's, and subsequently kills the subordinate who carries out the task, consuming the demon for sustenance. Kurama deduces that he is incapable of fighting Yatsude alone, and decides to seek aid in the form of the power Hiei possesses. Hiei attacks Kurama out of nowhere and a sword battle ensues upon learning that Hiei is not in Yatsude's employ, Kurama declares a truce with Hiei, deeming Yatsude as a mutual enemy. He wears a simple loin cloth and a belt of skulls (minus the lower jaws), presumably the remains of his victims. Each of his eight limbs contain long sharp claws. His body contains eight appendages each with dexterous digits, with the bottom two appendages serving as legs, a pair of muscular arms growing from either side of his upper torso and a smaller pair of arms protruding from his head where his ears should be. He has long, stringy hair parted in the center of his skull. He wears a dumbfounded, artificial facial expression and has buck teeth. Yatsude's appearance suggests the results of mutations combined with the characteristics of a very primitive demon. His actual goal is to obtain increased strength through the consumption of powerful, preferably female beings. Initially, it seems that his goal is to kill Shuichi Minamino, whose true identity he has somehow discovered. Yatsude (八手 directly translated as Eight Hands in the Viz translation), is a demon appearing as the antagonist in the "Two Shots" chapter and the OVA.
