Ushio to Tora (TV)

Ushio Aotsuki dismisses his father's stories about monsters until he discovers a fearsome yokai pinned beneath the family temple. Removing the Beast Spear frees the creature he names Tora, who would happily eat his rescuer if the weapon did not stand in his way.

Other spirits soon make cooperation unavoidable. As Ushio and Tora fight together, their hostile partnership draws them into the spear's history, the secrets of Ushio's family and a conflict far larger than the attacks on their neighborhood.
