Kurosaki (Shiyoh Hirano) returns from Shanghai and is reunited with Hyobashira (Yuna Kurushima) and his cat, Kuro, after a long absence. Hyobashira is relieved to see Kurosaki back in one piece, but Kurosaki has been haunted by Mikimoto's (Yajuro Bando) last words, "I am not the end of your revenge. Like Kurosaki, Kamijina (Inowaki Umi), who was faced with Mikimoto's death, also felt regret for not being able to do anything to help Kurosaki.
