It features a follow-up story to Taimanin Asagi 2, half a year after these events, in which Asagi and Sakura battle a new foe, working under Oboro.

## Story

Asagi and Sakura are on a mission of Yamamoto Nobushige, looking for leads connecting a recent theft of Vatican artifacts connected to Nomad.

The real goal of the mission is to find vampire Oboro, and defeat her to weaken Nomad.

Baiting out a group of demon brothers, in the area, they investigate. The Utetsu Brothers, realize they will lose alone, so they fuse into a two-headed demon. However, simply run away doing backflips, not wishing to fight Asagi after she introduced herself as a Taimanin. A plan of the sisters, to follow the demons, which were responsible for the "Vatican artifact theft" and were connected to the Oboro Ninja Troops and Nomad, in the hope to find the headquarters. While rushing after them, Asagi feels the effects of her body modification, and remembers her past run-ins with Oboro and the Chaos Arena. As well as that the Oboro's Clone of Dragon Gate which modified her chest that was causing her trouble now. Forced to stop, Sakura tries to help Asagi with her "stimulation" so they can hunt after the demons quickly, but a new enemy appears attacking the pair. The new enemy ninja is able to counter most of Asagi's attacks, and seemingly has demonic or Taimanin powers. Able to knock both out, they wake up in a Nomad base, next to Snake Lady and the new unknown enemy.

However, the idea of watching sexual torture annoys the new enemy (Gin) and they leave the work to Snake Lady. Piercing both captured woman and using pheromones on them. Snake Lady brings them to a new underground Chaos Arena like stage and proposes a game. The two demon brothers return and transform into a meat motorcycle, and Asagi is told to remain on it while it rides around town and not to fall off.

The game begins and Asagi is "riding" though town with her chest in the open in public view. Pictures of her are taken and shared on social media, but she is able to not fall off. The next game, she is supposed to give release to random passages. With one of the man falling in love and asking for marriage after the train doors close and Asagi has completed the task. Before returning to the Arena for her sister, she thinks about what to do and is slightly distracted, thinking that the guy was pretty cute after all. However, Gin starts talking to her via the vibrations in the building. Gin is annoyed that a warrior such as her is treated like this, and says she would save Sakura if Asagi would run now and take Oboro's head herself. Asagi refuses, wanting to solve the situation herself, and Gin is impressed by her resolve and ends the conversation for now.

The games continue and after two more challenges Oboro appears, having been done with some dealing with the Vatican artifacts. At the same time outside, Yatsu Kuro and "Hana" an assistant have started their search for Asagi and Sakura and are on their way to rescue them.

Snake Lady is now pushing for more aggressive training based on Oboro's orders, and Asagi and Sakura are about to lose it after a while. After the training is done, Oboro watches them fight in the area together with Gin. Asagi and Sakura are confronted by two demons, a Harpy and Nekomata demon. Losing in a way, Oboro gets down on stage to get rid of them. Gin however smells the one responsible in the audience for the destruction of her homeland and is deeply disgusted by the dishonor of this fight.

She runs amok in the audience and kills multiple VIP's watching the show and attacks now Oboro. Using a perfume weapon of the UFS to knock her out, she goes to Asagi, using her vampire abilities to heal the minor wounds she suffered from Gin. By drinking Asagi's blood, however, Asagi created a poison in her blood beforehand in case she would run into Oboro on her mission (This explained more in the light novel, as a technique that Asagi had prepared by charging her blood with Spiritual Energy). Oboro, unable to use her hypnotic ability to keep the sisters from moving, was stabbed from behind by Sakura and quickly decapitated by Asagi.

Yatsu Kuro arrives just in time, to save the sisters. However, Snake lady had already got hold of Oboro's still alive head and left with it. The comic ends with Sakura taking care once more of Asagi's breast situation, and both swear next time Oboro will not get away.

## Trivia

* The manga contains a very large number of demon types, including, Baphomet. Most of the demons are in fact Greek in origin, something pointed out in the case of Satyr and Minotaur. As Kaliya is a Naga a universally appearing monster but also appearing in Greek myth that seems intentional.
* Some of the plot holes, or one off characters, are explored in the light novel.
* As a story before TA3- and the retcon. Dark game puts chaos arena in 2072 and Tokyo Kingdom only one year apart, like other older games before TA3 and writer confirmation. Itself playing half a year after Toyko Kingdom. It would possibly play after the year 2073 or 2076 depending on the retcon being canon for it.
