| Osamu talks to Sōta and Mei, and learns that Towa has attended Saint Gabriel Academy. As Moe leaves the airplane from her trip to the orchestra contest someplace around the world, Osamu learns that he is the only one who can see the Grim Comet, unbeknownst to everyone. In the feudal era, Kirinmaru discovers the same comet, appearing and falling through the sky. Towa, Setsuna and Mohoha track Zero to Izayoi's ruined palace, and Riku makes a stand to protect her. In the occasion, Riku reveals that he has collected all seven Rainbow Pearls, before Zero retrieves them to restore her powers. Setsuna takes advantage of her loss of composure and wounds Zero with her awakening blood blade. When Zero arrives in the afterlife, she reveals that her life is connected to Rin, and finds some joy at knowing that they will die, but Sesshōmaru uses a restored Tenseiga to revive her. Zero berates Sesshōmaru and breaks Tenseiga, before declaring her intent against Towa and Setsuna. She demands that Riku return the Rainbow Pearls to her, containing all of her powerful demonic abilities, when Kirinmaru appears before both parties. |||||||||

| Kirinmaru tries to apologize to Sesshōmaru and Zero, but Sesshōmaru is intent on killing Zero again, no longer worried about Rin bound to hers as it will prolong her sadness. When Kirinmaru takes the Rainbow Pearls from Zero and scatters them, they part ways, leaving Zero and Riku to recollect all pearls. As the girls fight without them, Kirinmaru incapacitates Setsuna and destroys the naginata blade. Believing Setsuna has died peacefully, Towa transforms into her full demon self and Moroha as Beniyasha. They attempt to gain the upper hand, but Kirinmaru overwhelms and spares them. Before leaving, he delays the battle for most days. Towa and Moroha realize they cannot avenge Setsuna. Sesshōmaru gives the broken Tenseiga for Towa. |||||||||
