Episode 11 of Daemons of the Shadow Realm introduces Ken, Dera's previously unknown half-brother, who claims to have found powerful Daemons by chance. The episode also reveals that Dera's father helped Yuru and Asa's parents escape their village before disappearing. The review questions Ken's trustworthiness and suggests he may be a spy.
Episode 11 of Daemons of the Shadow Realm resolves the final loose end from the previous fight by revealing the identity of the enemy Daemon's master: Ken, Dera's half-brother. The episode spends much of its runtime on Ken's backstory-he grew up as the child of an immigrant with an absent father, a situation Dera understands. The big reveal is that it was Dera's father who helped Yuru and Asa's parents escape the village, after which he retired and disappeared. Finding him could provide clues about the abduction of Yuru and Asa's parents.
The review raises doubts about Ken's story, noting the coincidence of him finding powerful Daemons and hiding them in a place Dera frequents. It suggests Ken may have been sent to kill Yuru and awaken Seal, with a backup plan to infiltrate Yuru's group as a spy. Yuru's inability to sense anyone who isn't actively trying to kill him makes him vulnerable to manipulation.
