Episode 5: The World of Thunder

Synopsis:
The Fourth Night: The World of the Demon God
The ancient legends told of a forbidden island and its feared inhabitant, Ifurita, The Demon God. Only the three high priestesses of El-Hazard know of its location. But word has it that Jinnai and his legion of Bugrom soldiers are rushing on their way to the legendary island. The priestesses, along with Makoto, Must race to reach it first. Because whoever awakens the slumbering god shall controll the being and all its tremendous power -- an ultimate weapon in the wrong hands! Upon arrival at the island, Makoto and the priestesses learn that they've been duped into guiding the enemy to the island.

Conflict erupts on all sides: priestesses battle Bugrom, Nanami has a confrontational reunion with her brother and Makoto encounters the full force of Jinnai's envy. In the midst of this chaos and confusion, Ifurita awakens. Makoto is astonished to discover that The Demon Gos is none other than the beautiful, mysterious woman who transported him to El-Hazard!

On the fourth night, the tempest is just beginning!

The Fifth Night: The World of Thunder
The legendary Demon God, Ifurita, has awakened. Serving her new master Jinnai, she begins a campaign of devastation throughout the land of El-Hazard. Diminished in strength and facing imminent destruction, the allies turn to their last resort: their doomsday weapon, The Eye of God. Meanwhile, Shayla, one of the three priestesses, has her own problem. She's smitten with Makoto and vies for his affections along with Nanami. Frustrated by Makoto's lack of romantic interest, Shayla joins Mr. Fujisawa in a drunken binge.

Jinnai, the new Commander -in-Chief of the Bugrom, launches an attack on the palace hoping to conquer Roshtaria. The true identity of Galus, a member of the Phantom Tribe, is uncovered. The story unfolds with the revelation of Makoto's special abilities and climaxes with another encounter with Ifurita.

Anything could happen on the fifth night. How will the tables turn?
