Tamaki, run!

Tamaki!

Are you all right?

Yeah...

It's futile.

I won't let you escape.

What did you do with Monado?

I don't know what you're talking about.

Aria-sama isn't here.

Quiet!

Tamaki, stay back.

I will protect Monado by any means necessary.

This time...

Fate, gods, in order to defeat you,

I've dedicated everything to my search for power.

To gain power, I would not hesitate even to kill.

This time... This time, without a doubt...

Suffer my fists and die!

The Power of the Gods

Drei.

What have you done to Vier?

Don't worry.

I just put her to sleep. I won't harm her.

With the condition that you, Monado, will not interfere with us.

Very well.

Really. To think that the Monado would be so naive.

What a happy miscalculation.

Takuma!

Damn it!

My body won't listen to me.

My heart is going numb.

The preparations are made.

This is the power of the gods.

This is...

That's the same surge as when the Onikirimaru awakened before.

I've got a bad feeling.

Ohmi-san, is it the Onikirimaru?

We still have one option.

In any case, let's hurry.

We have to get to the Artifacts.

It's just about time, I'd say.

The Onikirimaru has become too strong.

Make yourself at home.

So they've come.

Very well.

You've done well until now.

This is your reward.

Devour their souls to your heart's content.

Look for Aria-sama.

She is the key to obtaining the Artifacts.

That kid?

This way.

You...

Crow.

I will devour your soul.

Everyone go ahead.

Stop joking. I'll stay, too.

Understood. I'm counting on you.

Let's go. Right now, the Artifacts are the priority.

As you wish, I'll be your opponent!

You smell terrible.

Takuma.

Tamaki.

Run.

Right now. Get away!

I don't want to.

You promised you'd be by my side.

Idiot. Just run!

Why? Why does this man's heart...?

The Tamayori's blood!

Are you the one who prevents my complete recovery, Tamayori princess?

That's not Takuma. Who are you?

I am Power.

I've existed from the beginning,

and was named a god.

Onikirimaru.

Takuma!

Takuma...

T-Takuma...

I'm sorry.

That's right.

Back then, the Tamayori princess sealed...

...the Underworld god's power, the power of the Onikirimaru.

How did I, the Tamayori princess, save the Underworld god?

If this goes on, there will be nothing left of Takuma.

I...

I...

I give my all...

My...

...all...

...to Takuma.

Takuma, you're still there, right?

I have one last request, Takuma.

Tamaki...

Tamaki.

I love you.

I love you, Takuma.

I give my life to you.

Live and be happy.

Takuma...

You're back.

Then the Onikirimaru's power was sealed.

Yes. It feels like...

the Onikirimaru's power has been absorbed within my body.

You're saying that you've become a god,

become fate itself.

He who takes in power and fate,

I will ruin your arrogant face!

I don't know what you mean by gods or fate,

but the Onikirimaru has been sealed.

What's the purpose in fighting me now?

You wouldn't understand!

The misery of those crushed by power, violence, and fate,

all because of their own helplessness.

I will defeat you,

you who have become a god.

I will not be crushed by fate again.

What is the point in obtaining strength that only hurts people?

You're the one who's crushing the weak!

The power that I have built up until now has all been for this moment!

Aria-san.

Snake,

you're late.

I was tired of waiting.

Stop.

You mustn't kill him.

I won't kill him if it is your command.

However...

Come, Crow.

I've been waiting for this moment.

Enough of your speeches. Come at me!

Don't forget I'm here, too.

I won't let you escape.

Crow. I want to devour your soul,

agonized by your pain and suffering.

You...

Power...

The power that I must destroy.

The power I could not obtain.

Why do you possess it?

I've always despised the power that you've sought.

In the end, you and I are...

That's right.

We will never understand each other.

Takuma!

Grandma, what are you doing here?

You did not come here by coincidence.

I used the gods to induce it.

Just what I'd expect from the predecessor.

Splendid skill.

That's...

Baba-sama.

Don't lay a hand...

...on Tamaki.

This is...

I'm having Takuma sleep.

He'll soon become too dangerous.

We cannot carelessly get involved.

Why? The seal is finished.

The Onikirimaru's power has been sealed,

so why are you doing this, Grandma?

What are you saying, Tamaki?

The Onikirimaru's power hasn't been sealed at all.

That can't be...

Where am I?

Grandma!

Where's Takuma?

Grandma, listen.

I had a dream of when...

...the first Tamayori princess sealed the power away.

I sealed away the sword in the same way.

So why?

Right now, the gods have subsided,

and at first glance it might appear as though peace has returned.

However,

there is no information about how the dangerous...

...power that has entered Takuma will affect the world.

But Takuma isn't a monster.

He's the Underworld god.

Whether he's the Underworld god or not doesn't matter.

The power inside of Takuma is beyond this world.

You understand that now, don't you?

The sealed power of the gods must not exist in the world of man.

Hence, it is likely that the power inside...

...of him will begin to change Takuma himself.

So, Tamaki,

you must return that power to the Onikirimaru once more and seal it.

However, to seal a power that has been awakened once requires compensation.

And that compensation is...

Your life, Tamaki.

Will that save Takuma?

I give my all to Takuma...

I understand.

If it's for Takuma's sake,

I wouldn't think twice about giving my life.

I have seen your resolve.

Tonight we will perform a ceremony.

Tamaki, may you be happy in your next life.

Mitsuru-chan.

I've always felt I needed to apologize to you, Mitsuru-chan.

About the ceremonial offering.

Until now, I didn't know anything, and you bore it all.

I'm sorry that you've suffered,

but I won't run anymore.

I won't let you suffer anymore, Mitsuru-chan.

I'm ready to do what I must do as Tamayori princess.

Takuma...

O-chan, what's wrong?

I'm all right. So don't cry so sadly.

But you know,

I want to see Takuma after all.

O-chan?

You...

Are you sure you shouldn't be by her side?

Takuma?

Am I seeing Takuma through O-chan's eyes?

You seem different than usual.

It's like you're filled with her presence.

Takuma...

I'm here. I'm right here.

Was Tamaki all right?

She wasn't crying again, was she?

All I seem to do is worry about her.

When was it that I stopped seeing her as the Tamayori princess?

She was always apologizing to me.

I'm sorry for making you fight.

I'm sorry I'm powerless.

I'm sorry all I do is make you protect me.

Those should have all been my lines.

Every time you apologized to me, that's what I thought.

I'm sorry, Tamaki,

for making you scared and for failing to protect you.

You always risked your life to stay by my side.

When I'm with you, I feel like I'm with Tamaki.

Takuma.

Takuma, you've never said that to me.

You never tell me anything important.

Goodbye, Takuma.

Well?

Have you made up your mind, Takuma?

If giving my life will bring her happiness,

I will die.

I don't want you to look at other people.

That isn't like me?

That's true.

That's how much I love you.
