Everyone on Banchou Alliance were shock to see this but it turns out Douke was not there but was a puppet being controlled by the real identity of Douke: twin sisters who are magician but Kiriu had a nosebleed because of they revealing outfit. Kiriu is mad at them for wearing just a outfit but they ignore him and continued to attack him but Kiriu cannot fight them due to the outfits and the girls told him they life stories.

Everyone was shocked why he did that even the girls but Kiriu told them he will do anything to help Akira succeed in battle even if it meant to die.

Attacks[]
Douke Banchou's greatest skill is diversion. They are such a great trickster that few people even notice they are dealing with two people in the disguise of one. Douke Banchou also is skilled in the use of bladed weapons of all sorts and have the trained bodies of a martial artist or acrobat. They are pretty opportunistic, however not to the point that they would use any means available. They just like to perform magic tricks and fool around with people, not even hesitating to use their own attractive features to confuse the enemy.
- Betrayal Pain (
裏切りの傷 , Betsureiaru Pein): A trick performed with a fake knife. While drawing attention of the opponent by stabbing a different person, a friend, or themselves for no apparent reason, a small circular blade is huled toward the enemy from a blind spot and injures it to their surprise. - Living Doll (
生ける人形 , Ribingu Dōru): Having prepared the battlefield in advance, Douke Banchou uses strings attached to puppets and makes them move. Of course this is also a diversion, however a cleverly played one. Attracting the attention towards the dolls, a stupid enemy proceeds to attack their way through them to get to the puppeteer - Hide and Seek (ハイド・アンド・シーク, Haido Ando Shīku): While seemingly harmless, this is Douke Banchou's ultimate move. Throwing a bunch of plush toys at the opponents it seems simply to distract the enemy to strike from a blind spot. The true reason behind this diversion is the set-up for something greater. Yoruko and Asako are able to perfectly synchronise, copying each others movements with not a millimeter's deviatation, they can even perfectly synchronize their heartbeats and breathing, basically making one of the sisters undetectable and allowing her to strike at some crucial point right into an opening.
- Puzzlement Curtain(
戸惑いの幕 , Pazurumento Kāten):
Trivia[]
- They controlled 200 underlings.
- It is hinted that Yoruko may have a crush on Touya Kiriu, as in the volume eleven title page she watches him exchange his cell number with Meiko Arenji, looking jealous and with one hand holding his jacket.
- This is proven in the final chapter when Yoruko is the wife/girlfriend of Kiriu in a Ramen shop. She hand feeds him pudding at a wedding and still blushes when she is near him.
- Douke Banchou is based on Iguchi Masahiro's (22) "Douke Banchou" design.
