I thought you might remember it if I create the same situation as that time.

The same situation... I really don't knorw what you mean.

If I'm the one you're after, you can let the children go, right?

Oh really...

Oh really!

Horw about norw?! This is the same, right?!

The same as the time and place where your mother killed us, right?!

So you remember norw, Ouri?

That was... my... mother?

That's right, Ouri.

That's right...

This way.

So no survivors, huh?

Senior Mibu, Senior Tagami!

This kid... is still alive.

It was more than ten years ago.

There was an incident where only small children were kidnapped.

Those kidnapped children weren't given water or food so they had all died.

Then Ouri-kun is...

A woman nine months pregnant died in a hit and run and became a Shikabane.

A Shikabane that was going to be a mother gave birth...

That child was Ouri.

A child born ofa Shikabane... Is that child a Shikabane?

No... That's why the mother Shikabane couldn't understand Ouri.

That Shikabane's regret was not being able to hold her child in her arms.

The mother abandoned Ouri and kidnapped babies one after another.

But no matter horw many she kidnapped, she cou|dn'tfind her orwn baby.

That hellish scene must have gone on and on.

And Ouri-kun was watching all that.

Yes, while surviving with his amazing vitality...

Among the babies killed, there was just one who became a Shikabane.

A baby Shikabane?

"| wanna eat..."

"| wanna eat..."

"| wanna eat..."

After being forced apart from his mother and killed,

he came back to life with his only regret being that he could not eat.

You are... that Shikabane!

It wasn'tjust me.

The other kids that were killed have also been following you around as a mass of Shiryou!

Ouri...Ouri...

That's right. It's us.

We were all killed by your mother!

Why are yOuJust you, alive?!

Can you fight?!

Against us, who were killed in your place?!

You wanted... that body, right?!

I'm not gonnajust kill you.

I'll give you ataste...

a taste of the hell I went through!

That's right! Eat! Eat! I ate, too!

I ate and ate... my friends who died!

Why didn't you tell me about it until norw?

That was what Keisei wished.

At the time, that Shikabane was killed by three monks, Akasha, Mibu and Tagami.

Then Senior Tagami petitioned to spare the life of Ouri-kun who survived...

saying that he would never allorw Ouri-kun to get involved with the defiled.

Why did he go that far?

Because even though it was a Shikabane, they killed his mother, right?

Don't move!

I'm gonna go find Ouri.

A big operation is currently in progress.

You two are to help strengthen the head temp|e's defenses.

Why...

Why can't I defeat you?!

Enemy... I'm your enemy!

The regrets that I hold are notjust about destroying the Seven Stars.

The feelings of Keisei who was killed, too...

The regrets oftwo people... That should be enough!

I shouldn't lose to any Shikabane!

I am your enemy. Your enemy!

Do you want me to tell you... the reason you can't win?

Hokuto of the Seven Stars has neither regrets nor nature.

There's no way someone can become a Shikabane like that!

Well, it is possible.

Those who become Shikabane and you, Shikabane Hime, used to be alive, right?

Joy and sadness... You loved and were loved... and sometimes you hated...

As one ofthe living, you must have experienced all ofthose feelings...

The chance to live her life was taken away from Hokuto.

She was born and raised as a human sacrifice.

She was still without regrets or nature when...

She was born to die.

Upon her death, Hokuto became free for the first time.

She was able to come in contact with others and felt their existences.

Hokuto harms people not out of regrets or nature.

Her existence itself is one that destroys the living.

Do you understand what she is?

She is death.

Death?

The living unconsciously try to keep it away from themselves and to forget it.

However, it certainly exists and there's no escaping from it.

Hokuto is an existence that embodies death itself.

That's exactly why she sits at the top of Shikabane and no one can defeat her.

The Value of the Living

Death, you said?

Such athing...

I am happy to knorw her existence.

Horw come I knew... Hokuto's memories?

Thafsjust natural.

What do you mean?

The family that once managed the human sacrifice custom in Hokuto's village

embraced the Kougon Sect later after coming to knorw the phenomenon

where humans become Shikabane.

The name ofthat family is Hoshimura.

Your ancestors created Hokuto.

She was a daughter of your family.

You two have the same blood in your veins.

That's precisely why Hokuto became your enemy.

Hokuto was given a meaning for the first time.

She's your enemy.

That is to say, she's become the enemy of the Kougon Sect.

Hence, naturally her power will be used to destroy the Kougon Sect.

The same blood, you said? Is that why...?

You wanted me in order to control Hokuto's power?!

We no longer need you.

L\\ \~ \\ \\ \ \ \ \ \~ Q

Death... Death...

Humans die without fail.

Even ifwe could kill Shikabane, who go against our philosophy,

no one can defeat death itself!

Sol can't... defeat her?

I can't, either?

I'm sorry...

Keisei...

I thought I told you not to come near her.

You said you'd set all the Shikabane Hime free. It'd better not be a lie.

Ouri...

Ouri!

Can't be! No one can surpass death!

When all the regrets must've been cut off...!

I've still got a reason to fight.

There's someone who's crying out for me!

So this is the base of the Seven Stars, huh?

Kougon Sect!

There's so many!

We'll take back that Shikabane Hime!

Also, we'll wipe out the Seven Stars, too!

Wait!

Don't worry! We've blocked off their escape.

You guys made me a decoy tofind them!

I didn't knorw it, either. Leave things here to us. Go...

Ouri... Geez...

I knorw it's a Shikabane Hime's job, but he's such a pain!

Something more important than your regret about the Seven Stars...

Whoa! Where are you going?!

Could it be... adate?!

Everyone... be careful...

Ouri...Ouri...

Ahh... This is Ouri's body.

You'll become a Shikabane after all...just like us...

Norw, eat, Ouri!

|...

Ouri! Ouri! Where are you going?! Ouri!

You fool! You're a Shikabane! There's no point in doing that!

Ouri... So you're really...

Eat me.

I don't knorw what to do.

|...

I... just wanted... mom to pay attention to me.

Ouri...

Please... There's nothing else I can do.

Okay. Then I'll take your body.

That's right! You're a Shikabane!

Eat those brats!

You bastard!

I will... We will protect Ouri!

What'd you say?!

We've been together with Ouri.

Whether he'd become a human or a Shikabane...

we've been watching all this time.

Don't you detest Ouri?!

We died because of him!

We are brothers.

Ouri and we were crying because we wanted to be loved. That's all.

Your regret, too, is...

My regret is about eating!

Okay, then. I'll eat you, too!

You are... a Shikabane!

Die as a Shikabane!

Ouri! Ouri!

I was born of a Shikabane... Will I die as a Shikabane?

You look terrible.

Shikabane Hime...!

Makina...

Is that your true form?

I don't knorw. What am I? A human? A Shikabane?

Then, I'll shorw you!

Don't forget, Ouri. You're my contracted monk!

No!

You are a beast! Remember, you are a Shikabane!

I'm alive! I'm neither a beast nor a Shikabane!

I'm one ofthe living!

Seven Stars! I'll destroy you!

I must be the same as you are!

You and I should be the same!

You and I may be the same!

Even so, I will... live as a human!

Mo...m...

Makina... You're okay...

What can I say? No one came to rescue me.

Sol came back alone.

Ah... Sorry...

Just kidding.

More importantly, don't try to die without my permission...

since...

I need you.

O k3)'-

Ouri!

Something's wrong! It's flying too Iorw!

Seven Stars! This is the end for you!

This is the beginning!

It's gonna crash!

In Ikai City?

Yes. And 10 minutes later, two commercial flights...

50,000 people... no100,000 people could be dead.

Even ifjust a small fraction of victims become Shikabane,

the number will exceed several hundred!

This is the Seven Stars' doing?

It has already begun!

The grand defilement!
