Kishin Douji Zenki (also known as Demon God Child Zenki, or simply as Zenki) is a 1995 Japanese animated series comprised of 51 episodes, and based on a manga series of the same name. The series focuses on Zenki, a reincarnated demon warrior who battles against the various wielders of dark magic.
Biological Unit
The series' 22nd episode ("Guardian Village Destroyed; Water Formation") reveals that the human sorceress Karuma has bonded herself to a Tree of Evil, which allows her to create and grow Seeds of Evil (nut-like monsters that turn humans into demons known as Hyouinomi).
The 25th episode ("The Last Battle! The End of Karuma!") sees Zenki and his companions finally confronting Karuma in her tree form. Karuma tells the heroes that within the Tree of Evil are the residents of the nearby Guardian Village, whose life forces are being used to aid in the growth of the seeds and strengthen the tree itself. Over the course of the battle, two of Zenki's companions are absorbed into the tree, which they use to their advantage and destroy the plant from the inside. When the villagers are released, Karuma's power is drained and she is released from the tree as an old human woman. Karuma screams in agony and disappears in a blinding light as the tree collapses.
