The war between Ratatoskr and DEM continues in earnest! With the Spirits joining the battle, complete with Natsumi and Miku playing support and buffing Tohka, the Yamai Twins, Yoshino, Origami and Mukuro
!
Kurumi vs Nibeelcole! Battle of the mass CGI Spirits
.
Well, AST is here, and are under orders to hunt down Spirits...and that's what their job has always been right? But then they turn out to just be bait and have to get saved BY Spirits...and they realize it's time to get new jobs. It's not like they were ever all that good at fighting Spirits anyways
.
Origami vs Artemisia! Artemisia can seemingly remember something, enough to be bothered by Origami's presence, but she's too caught up in her brainwashing to completely give up. Good thing the plan was never to beat her but to distract her long enough for Mukuro to get close and access her memories! Complete with assist from AST
!
I'm really wondering exactly what happened between Ellen, Elliot, Karen, and Westcott. What drove the two sisters to different sides? Was Karen completely joking about wanting to run away with Elliot and have three kids? How did Elliot transform into his younger self voiced by Hikaru Midorikawa to fight Ellen
!?
So what is the teams' solution for taking care of Nibeelcole? Why, their solution to taking care of ANY Spirit...have Shido show up, turn on the charm, and immediately turn Seal them with a kiss. And because Nibeelcole is an extension of Beelzebub, she carries Nia's affinity for Shido, making her completely susceptible to Shido. Meaning a single kiss, and even air kisses, is enough to defeat her and her clones en masse. Shido truly is a seductive monster
.
Though the REAL Kurumi wants in on this fun too, especially because she still needs Shido's power to go back in time and kill the Spirit of Origin...but Shido loves Kurumi and he knows Kurumi loves him too, and he doesn't want a world where they and the rest of the Spirits aren't all together. Which means Shido has to be the one to go back, seal Mio, and create the ultimate timeline where everyone is together and happy. And if anyone can do it, it's Shido
!
Oh no, not eyepatch Kurumi! She died saving her real self and in her last words told her to be honest with herself. And with that in mind, Kurumi finally tells Shido that she'll let him kiss her and seal her once this is all over...though first they have to deal with Mio popping up out of nowhere in Kurumi's chest. Looks like we're finally going to be getting some real answers
