Shakugan no Shana T1 E5 – Respective Thoughts
Shana manages to return all beat-up from her previous battle with Margery Daw, and she's way too angry to receive help from the concerned Yuuji. Because there's nothing he can do, Yuuji goes to school, only to be greeted by a girl, Kazumi who asks him out on a date. However, on their date, Yuuji runs into a mysterious man who's been erasing Torches.
Shakugan no Shana
The world has become a slaughtering ground for the Crimson Denizens, mysterious beings from a parallel universe who thrive on the life energy of humans. These merciless murderers only leave behind scant remainders of souls called "Torches," which are mere residues that will eventually be destroyed, along with the very fact of the victims' existence from the minds of the living. In an ambitious endeavor to put an end to this invisible, hungry massacre, warriors called Flame Hazes relentlessly fight these monsters. One fateful day, Yuuji Sakai ceases to be a regular high schooler—he becomes trapped in a crevice of time and is suddenly attacked by a Denizen. Coming to his rescue just in the nick of time is a nameless hunter who seems no different from an ordinary young girl except for her blazing eyes and burning crimson hair. However, before Yuuji can learn anything more about his situation, he discovers that he has already been reduced to a Torch—merely a scrap of memory waiting to be extinguished.
