Synopsis[]
A mysterious girl bumps into Eikichi! Meanwhile, a gloomy storm is brewing over Saga.
Plot[]
A mysterious girl bumps into Eikichi with her bike. After the crash, the girl goes to make sure Eikichi is physically okay, but finds him crying and putting himself down. The girl slaps him and tells him to stop crying and saying no one needs him, which is something for his family and friends to decide. But, he is the one who must decide what he will do with himself. The pep talk leaves Eikichi stunned for a moment as the blonde girl rides her bike to her class.
Saki slaps Eikichi
In the past, he talks to his sister, Yuko, about how he could easily be replaced by others. His sister, on the other hand, encourages him to have confidence in himself and not be consumed by negative feelings that make him think that he is less than others. After all, it is only Eikichi who can save his sister.
Meanwhile, in the forests of the prefecture, Higashino continues to kill Sagakos, a task he does without hesitation, but still questioning how these creatures work. A dizziness stuns him; it is Magatsuhi who communicates with him to let him know that she has recovered her true powers. Keiji tells her to manifest before him, with no response.
A storm hits Karatsu, leaving heavy rain and thunder in its wake. At the Busters' mansion, Jofuku is sick and continues to age in full view of Romero, who accompanies him. The girls are in the main room, sheltering from the thunderstorm outside and worrying about Eikichi's situation in the storm. Tae has a bad feeling. Meanwhile, the Sagako they had previously captured and imprisoned are shocked with electricity from a powerful lightning bolt that strikes the mansion. This same sudden and powerful energy causes them to merge into an even larger Sagako, baffling the Busters, who quickly seek cover. A special type of Sagako has just manifested again in Saga. The Sagako emerges from the rubble of the now-destroyed mansion, with flashes of remnant electrical energy and negative energy surrounding her.
The Spider Sagako destroys Sagako Busters headquarters
Eikichi, who doesn't believe that a little girl just corrected him, runs to the mansion in the rain, realizing his mistake. After all, he realizes that they really care about him. It doesn't take long for him to notice the mountain of rubble and a giant Sagako coming out of it.
The huge Sagako begins to move towards the city. The Busters manage to get out of the rubble and rescue Jofuku, who managed to save Yuko's onion before the collapse. Tae resentfully looks at this huge Sagako as if she already knew her before and prepares to go fight. In the midst of traffic, Araki manages to evacuate several residents of the area and alerts the police to the presence of a strange, unknown creature, but they tell him that he must be daydreaming. To Araki's surprise, Higashino appears and stands in front of the creature, throwing the young policeman into confusion.
Keiji is killed by Magatsuhi
Keiji raises his weapon and begins a conversation with Magatsuhi, who manifests in front of the Sagako. Keiji reminds her that they had made a promise and that she would grant his wish. Magatsuhi begins to speak to him telepathically in what seems like a conversation that only Keiji can understand. What Magatsuhi said really angered Higashino, who begged her to fulfill his promise for his job to kill enough Sagako. Fed up that she didn't keep her promise, and therefore his wish, he is about to shoot the Sagako while shouting that he wants power.
As he is about to shoot her, he is brutally killed by one of Magatsuhi's limbs and then thrown onto the pavement. Before dying, he begins to remember everything in his life and how he was always treated as a weakling and weird among his classmates, causing a grudge against them. His desire to gain power was to eliminate those who stood in his way. Higashino understands that he was only used by this curse.
The citizens scream in panic at the sight of the carnage. Araki is stunned at what just happened. The Busters are speechless about what happened, while Tae just watches and prepares to fight this huge Sagako that she knows from that incident.
