When Yamato ask if everyone in the gang are dôji masters, Hyoe explains that they "back-up" masters, replacements for any dôji master should one die. Hyoe states that Roger Dunstan prepare many "back-up" masters for the dôji, like how Rune replaced Tomomitsu Iruma. Hyoe says that there many masters out there, including Makoto Sayama, his crush and school friends who was a little Yamato took care of in the the 12th Century. To add to Yamato's shock, Hyoe also reveals that his friends Akitsu Otake, Hibari Oume, and Kiyose Matsumoto are masters too. Hyoe says that the girls all had dôji in their past lives and warns Yamato if The Evil Dôji Branch learns the truth, then the girls are in danger. Thinking about Jealous's Noh, Akira Hidaka, and Rune, Yamato begins to worry about his friends might already target by the enemy.
