Recap for Episode 22

This week's episode was mostly focused on Akio and Asuma's mother. Turns out that Asuma's mother was rejected by her family after they found out about her Daemon. She was left isolated until the Kagemoris took her in. This episode also revealed Akio's backstory and how he cannot feel physical pain.
After communicating with people who claimed to know his biological parents, he turned against the Kagemori clan and demanded that the Mountain God's seal be removed. In the end, the Yamakaze exploded, followed by Tanikaze, leaving Akio's fate uncertain.
What to expect from Daemons of the Shadow Realm Episode 23? (Speculative)

Looking at the cliffhanger ending of the latest installment, here is what fans could expect from Daemons of the Shadow Realm Episode 23:
Akio might survive the explosion: The biggest immediate question is whether Akio survived the Mountain God's explosion. Episode 22 deliberately ended without showing his fate, making his survival one of the most likely plot points for Daemons of the Shadow Realm Episode 23. Moreover, Akio has only recently been revealed as someone manipulated into betraying the Kagemoris, so it would be surprising if his story ended immediately.
More insight into who could have betrayed Akio: Akio's online contacts are another major mystery. Some fans have questioned whether Ivan is actually connected to Akio or another organization is manipulating him. One popular theory is that Akio may not be directly related to Ivan at all. If this ends up being true, then Daemons of the Shadow Realm Episode 23 might show us that he is more of a pawn in a much larger plan.
The Kagemori mansion may have more traitors: The explosion is not the only problem facing the family. The recent episode strongly suggests that there are still people inside the Kagemori mansion working against them. Daemons of the Shadow Realm Episode 23 could therefore expand the mystery beyond Akio and reveal just how deeply the threat has infiltrated the Kagemori clan.
In the end, with the Mountain God now causing destruction, Daemons of the Shadow Realm Episode 23 could mark the beginning of an even more dangerous phase of the story.
