Koyori and Tazuna finally reunite, but when Lily holds Masaru's hand, the world shifts to that of Ziggurat, and the siblings reveal their true identities as Hand Shakers and their Nimrods: two decks of shuffling cards, one pink and the other blue. Frightened, Tazuna leaves hastily, and finally picks up Lily's call. Meanwhile, he meets an odd man outside Makihara's lab, who knows a lot about Hand Shakers and Makihara. The siblings play a few card games with her to pass the time, while Lily makes frequent attempts to call Tazuna. Koyori spends the rest of the afternoon with Lily and her younger brother, Masaru, a mature young boy who is also a card game champion. She kindly takes Koyori with her to a card tournament, where she calls Tazuna but he does not pick up. Koyori is confronted by the friendly Riri "Lily" Hojo, the student council president of Tazuna's school. #3 - Meet Yet Season 1 - Episode 5 - Aired Feb 8, 2017ĭuring a trip around the city, Koyori and Tazuna get separated, and Tazuna goes around the whole city searching for her, fearing she will die. Returning to the present, Tazuna, Koyori, Mayumi and Nagaoka are drawn into the Ziggurat as they prepare to do battle. Wishing to fulfil the Akutagawas' dream, Nagaoka kidnaps Mayumi and puts her on drugs, turning her into his Hand Shaker partner and leaving Koyori and Makihara for good. Then Koyori and Mayumi abruptly lose all their memories, powers of speech and movement, and fall into a coma. True to their word, the Akutagawa professors depart to kill God, but have never returned. It is also at this time when Makihara and Nagaoka stop being Hand Shakers as their relationship worsens and they lose their will to fight together. The Akutagawas, filled with regret, slowly but surely get infatuated with the possibly of meeting God and killing him to protect their daughters and end this battle. This also results in them unable to lose or let go of each other hands lest they die. While the Akutagawas are ecstatic with the success of their project, this soon proves to be a curse as the twins, being children, are easy targets. Being born in the Ziggurat, the twins are naturally gifted Hand Shaker powers and become partners. To help in their research, they draw one another into the Ziggurat (the two parties being two pairs of Hand Shakers) and there, Mrs Akutagawa gives birth to two white-haired twin girls: Mayumi and Koyori. Like Makihara and Nagaoka, the Akutagawa professors are Hand Shaker partners and scientists striving to discover the mystery behind Hand Shakers' existence. Koyori's sinister past is revealed through a flashback concerning both Makihara and Nagaoka, as well as the Akutagawa professors. He also introduces the white-haired girl beside him as Mayumi Akutagawa, who is none other than Koyori's twin sister. The menacing man introduces himself as Daichi Nagaoka, an old associate and former Hand Shaker partner of Makihara. #1 - Cocoon Cocoon Season 1 - Episode 11 - Aired Mar 22, 2017
