The final battle between the Witchblade and the Cloneblades erupts! Consumed with madness, Maria leads her Sisters into a clash with Masane. High atop Tokyo Tower, all will face their destiny.

Masane and her allies prepare for battle. As three twisted Cloneblades move to take the Witchblade by force, thousands of I-Weapons approach to violently complicate matters.

A tender moment between Masane and Rihoko is interrupted by attacking X-Cons. Meanwhile, Maria’s chosen the next Sister to take on the Witchblade, and there’s even more trouble approaching from offshore.

Struggling under the emotional and physical strain of the Witchblade, Masane looks for ways to remove the artifact. But nothing short of death will remove the curse.

Takayama offers reassurance that he will look out for Rihoko if Masane falls in battle. It’s a good thing - Maria has never been more focused on claiming the Witchblade for herself.

Masane, reborn a furious force of nature, is conscripted into service by the Doji Group. While the reality of her new life sets in, her daughter wanders Tokyo alone.

Masane and Takayama grow closer after she reaches new levels of lust and rage to protect him. Over at the NSWF, Father’s joy is short-lived when his latest Cloneblade stages a coup.

Takayama resigns after claiming responsibility for several high-profile incidents, leaving the Doji Group in Wado’s hands. Meanwhile, Maria takes over training the new generation of Cloneblades.

Takayama struggles to maintain the upper hand against his rival, Wado, and Tozawa digs up all the dirt he can on Father. Meanwhile, the Cloneblade project may have goals more sinister than mere profit.

As the residents of the Natsuki Building head off for the beach, Takayama warns Masane that Witchblade and Cloneblade alike take severe tolls on the life of the bearer.

Reina and Masane rush to save Rihoko from Maria’s jealous rage. Unfortunately, the action attracts the attention of every X-Con for miles around.

As Reina and Rihoko’s relationship suffers, Masane’s mental state suffers too. Elsewhere, Maria has risen to the challenge and embraced the Cloneblades.

Masane and Rihoko are on the run after the Child Welfare Ministry attempts to use DNA evidence to separate mother and daughter. Dr. Nishida tasks Nora with hunting them down.

The NSWF studies the captive Masane, looking for insight into the relationship between bearer and blade. The agency gets a much closer look at the Witchblade’s power than they were expecting.

Rihoko falls ill and must be tended to by someone besides her mother. Meanwhile, after battling the Cloneblade Nora, Masane finds herself in the hands of the NSWF - and Father is waiting.

Takayama reprimands Masane after she’s spotted with a civilian during an encounter with an X-Con. Her punishment: get dolled up and accompany the Director to a fancy dinner party.
