"The attack on Nagoya begins! The Japanese Imperial Demon Army descends on the vampire nobles, aiming to exterminate them completely. Three squads are assigned to take down each of eight nobles.

Asuramaru and the other black cursed gear demons' betrayal of their hosts strikes a heavy blow in the war against the vampires, Shikama Doji, and the Hyakuya Sect. Shikama Doji has ordered Asuramaru to capture Mikaela's soul before he has a chance to possess anyone.

Now that Mikaela has become a demon and Yuichiro's Cursed Gear, do they finally have the power to stand up against Shikama Doji?! For older teen audiences.

On the way to Guren's safehouse to finally get the details on his true plan, Yuichiro drops a bombshell of a question on him: "Did you kill my family?" Guren hesitates to answer, and Yuichiro, wanting a clear response no matter what, challenges him to a fight. As the two battle, Guren comes to realize Yuichiro's growth, while Yuichiro is reminded of Guren's strength. For older teen audiences.

Yuichiro is forced to make a terrible decision-his family's lives, or Mika's. Mika tries to convince him to choose his family, forcing the two into a heart-wrenching argument. What will Yuichiro ultimately decide? Meanwhile, Urd and R gr have captured Sika Madu, the First Progenitor, and demand to know the truth behind his plan and why he abandoned them. Betrayal, loss, and revelations span all sides of this war for the fate of humans, vampires, demons...and the world itself.

Given the choice of two extremes, Yu picks a third option-instead of following Guren or the First's plans, he'll forge his own path. He takes Mika and leaves Shinoa squad, vowing to resurrect everybody! But to do that, the two first have to delve into their pasts and learn what's really going on. And to make that dive, Yu's going to need a lot of energy, but provisions are scarce. The two resort to devious means to get what they require-but if it's for the sake of saving the world, it may be worth it.

Yu and Mikaela dive into the past in search of their oldest memories, and they pop out in a shocking time well before the birth of humanity...when dinosaurs roamed the earth! They continue on and run into an angel that looks suspiciously like Mikaela, who leads them to a mythical city with an enormous tower that extends into the heavens. What sort of mysteries will they encounter there?

Paimon reveals the truth to Mikaela-that his existence is taboo and a threat to his father, Sika Madu. Distraught, the angel Mikaela takes matters into his own hands... Sika Madu watches as the perfect world made to reach the heavens crumbles around him and in a final desperate attempt, uses the Tower of Babel to enact the ultimate sin... For older teen audiences.

Yuichiro and Mika finally know the truth about their pasts and now have to figure out how to handle this big revelation. Both are tempted to sacrifice themselves for the sake of the other if it means saving the world, but they come to the conclusion that there must be another way. And that other way starts with the vampires and Sika Madu himself. Meanwhile, Shinoa has her own plan to rescue Yuichiro while Ferid and Guren are up to no good with their own agendas.

In a post-apocalyptic world of vampires vs. humans, Yuichiro brings vengeance upon his vampire overlords! After trumpets of the apocalypse proclaim the fall of humanity, vampires arise from the shadows to rule the earth. Yuichiro wants just one thing-to get revenge by killing each and every vampire. Yuichiro and Mikaela desperately try to reach Sika Madu before Shinoa can consume him. But they have more foes to face in Urd and the other vampires, who are trying to stop them. Meanwhile, Ferid is on the hunt, consuming vampires one at a time, and his next target is Krul Tepes. And while she should be able to stand against him on her own, Ferid has help from an unexpected ally-Guren.
