This is later explained away by the plothole altering reality but ITTL there is a different explanation. Spoony developed two split personalities. The harmless Spencer D.Bum and the villainous Dr.Insano. During Spoony's review of Final Fantasy I, he snapped and vowed to create time travel, succeeding when an older Dr.Insano appeared. This led to the appearance of a Dr.Insano from an alternate timeline where Spoony permanently became Insano. This Insano was insulted and tried to kill Spoony, succeeding. Spoony's friend and fellow reviewer cloned Spoony, creating two other clones based on his split personalities, a harmless version of Dr.Insano due to Linkara's tweaking and Spencer D.Bum. During the Blackest Night, the original Spoony became a Black Lantern, killed Spencer D.Bum and was destroyed himself. When it came time to invade Kickassia and defeat the Nostalgia Critic, Linkara reluctantly went along with the plan to trigger the Spoony clone into unleashing his Dr.Insano personality to fight Nostalgia Critic.

Kou and Asuka head to Shopping Street pronto to find it mostly barren of people, and out of the fog, a giant demon hand swoops in and captures Mayu. Asuka decides to pursue the hand alone, and so, she deliberately traps Kou inside a barrier. She explains to him that the fog incident is being caused by a more powerful Grim Greed, which she feels is way out of his league and doesn't want him to get involved for his own safety. After declaring that, Asuka disappears into the fog alone. Kou desperately tries to break out of the barrier concerned for her safety, but a mysterious white-haired child hears his plea and breaks the barrier for him. Unsure of what happened, Kou meets up the rest of the Morimiya students who arrive for assistance, and they follow Asuka into an Eclipse gate. They find her battling the Malice Claw alone, and when she pursues it into the next room, another Malice Claw appears and attacks the students.

They fight the dog deeper into the labyrinth, but before they could finish it off, the Abyss Hound attempts to escape, and Mitsuki places a tracking spell on it to see where it's headed. They follow the dog to another Eclipse labyrinth and are rejoined by the other Morimiya students. Inside, they find Asuka trapped in a birdcage and being guarded by the same Abyss Hound, but then another Elder Greed; Chaos Raven, swoops in and kills the demon dog. The students manage to fight it off for the time being to allow Kou to give Asuka her Soul Device back. After receiving it, Asuka breaks out of the cage and finishes the Chaos Raven off. Kou and the others are glad to see Asuka safe, but their reunion is cut short by a startling phone call from Shiori. The students return to Morimiya Academy to find it transformed into a castle by the Grim Greed, and they storm inside to confront the true culprit of the fog incident; the Mist Witch.
