After the BABEL ranking matches are suddenly thrown into chaos, Phil Burnett arrives from Alayzard to retrieve Miu.

In the fantasy world of Arezard, the rogue hero Akatsuki - at the request of the defeated Demon King - agrees to protect his fallen enemy's daughter, Miu, and return with her to the world from which he came.

Having vanquished the Demon Lord Garius, Akatsuki Ousawa bids farewell to the world of Alazyard and returns to his home world. His epic adventure has actually only just begun, though...

Having been outclassed by Akatsuki, Phil uses his trump card and transforms into a giant dragon! Akatsuki's friends and the student council members struggle to buy time until Akatsuki can fully recover from Phil's poison.

Akatsuki and Miu face off with Zahhak in a final battle. Meanwhile, the truth behind Phil is revealed in Alayzard and COCOON takes further notice of Akatsuki.

After the Iga deception is revealed to Gennosuke, he takes advantage of Oboro’s love in order to escape. Alone and pressured to fight, she makes the ultimate sacrifice.

Asked to stand with her clan against the Kouga and her beloved Gennosuke, Oboro sacrifices their most valuable weapon. But as one lover turns to the light, the other chooses to look away.

Lord Ieyasu and the nobles tally the deaths after only two days of conflict. They remain detached from the pain and suffering, but for the Kouga and the Iga, the war is growing far more personal.

Gennosuke and Oboro foresee a lasting peace once their romantic intentions are made public - but the Iga have already set their first trap.

Both clans take to the road, allowing for reflection on a time before the war. Some have accepted the battle as right, others feel regret - all know it must end.

The Iga raiders take Okoi captive while the Kouga attempt to understand why they were attacked. Meanwhile, Gennosuke remains in the Iga village - unaware that a war has begun.

Gennosuke and Udono feast with the Iga clan, who hide fatal intentions behind false smiles. Inspired by drunken lust and blinded by loyalty and trust, forgiveness will bring the end of one ninja’s life.

On the path to Sunpu Castle, the Kouga spy a hawk carrying a scroll. Two depart to track the bird and two stay behind. With their ranks divided, Tenzen readies his attack.

During a simpler time, a plan was laid to ensure lasting peace between the Kouga and the Iga - the arranged marriage of Gennosuke and Oboro. During a simpler time, there was hope.

As the Kouga prepare to attack Oboro and Akeginu, a stranger arrives with staggering news. Both Kouga and Iga learn the reasons behind the horrors they have endured.

Hyoma directs Gennosuke to flee with Kagero. To ensure their escape, Hyoma engages Koshiro in a violent duel that neither may survive.
