You're cool, and I love you.
love
I'm sorry, but I can't go out with you.
There's a barrier around Narukami?!
We'll need to use the Rikujin Shinka ritual.
I guess everyone's changing a bit at a time, huh?
They've all been through a lot,
and they're deciding how they want to live.
I want to know...
I...
The time has come.
All that remains is for the curtain to rise on the finale.
What is this?!
What's going on?
This is no regular earthquake!
Benio-sama, I'm sensing a crazy strong Kegare's presence from somewhere!
It can't be!
Are they at the school again?!
Narukami's Most Ill-Fated Day No Way To Run, No Place To Hide
The school is a designated large-scale shelter, so it's safe!
Please remain here until we can confirm it's safe to return to your homes!
Oh, I got through!
Hello?!
Mayura? Are you okay? Thank goodness...
Yeah. Chiyuri's with me. I'll put her on.
Hello?
Yeah, I'm fine.
I'm at school with Kanade.
No weird fog or Basara...
But I can sense the presence of powerful Kegare.
What is this?!
No way...
As you can see,
Entire Town of Narukami Mysteriously Levitates
it's like the town of Narukami has been scooped out of the ground...
What the?!
Is this for real?! What's going to happen?!
An emergency situation
caused through the use of intense spell power...
We should head to the Seika Dorm for now.
Right.
Can this really be happening?
Big trouble!
The earthquake's caused fires and explosions all over town!
It's a huge mess out there!
Is everything okay in the dorm?
Wait... What?! How is that possible?!
Looks like we're caught up in another damn fine mess.
Ever since the trouble with the Dragon Spots,
some things have bothered me.
So I've been searching the Exorcist Union's records for info...
And I found a record of something just like this happening before.
It was six hundred years ago, in the Ouei period...
The Kingdom of Noto
Seven villages in the kingdom of Noto rose into the sky.
The Twelve Guardians of the time managed to resolve the situation, somehow.
But in the villages that rose into the sky,
every single person, down to the babies,
had their spell power drained...
and died as a result.
Oh, no...
And the one responsible for that insanity
was a Basara named Kuranashi.
A Dragon Spot?!
Is that a Basara?
We finally meet, Twin Star Exorcists.
Both of his eyes are normal...
What's this mean?
The more spell power we gain, the closer to humans we become.
An abominable truth, that.
Closer to humans?
Speaking of abominations, there's also that name.
You exorcists, for a thousand years,
have called me this...
Kuranashi the Basara.
Kuranashi!
I see.
I believe this is the young lady that Kuranashi informed me of, then?
You're the reason that Sae-chan had to go back!
Sae?
That was just a little prank I played using the Ame-no-mihashira.
A little prank?!
We lost her because of you!
You were behind the Dragon Spot incidents, weren't you?
So what kind of "prank" are you trying to pull this time?
This isn't so much a prank as... a game.
A game?
Wh-What the hell... is that?!
Run for it!
Nagitsuji Ryogo
Ryogo?
Rokuro!
There are giant Kegare tentacles
stealing spell power from the people in town!
After we help with the evacuation,
Everyone, stay calm! Watch your surroundings!
we'll head to the dorm and get geared up!
Don't panic, and head this way!
Then we're going to head back out!
If you two can make it, then please, come!
Got it!
And there you have it.
This town is now floating in the sky.
Thus, there is nowhere for you to run.
The Kegare tentacles can find their way into any location here.
Thus, there is nowhere for you to hide.
The amount of time it will take for them
to devour the spell power of everyone in this town...
I suppose I'd give it about two hours.
If you two don't defeat that Kegare in that time,
all of the people in this town will die.
And you think that's a game?!
However, you can't defeat that Kegare by simply attacking the parts you see.
There is a bulb underground in which it stores spell power.
Unless the bulb is destroyed, the Kegare will regenerate indefinitely.
Why would you tell us this?
It's not very entertaining if you don't know the objective of the game you're playing.
Entertaining?!
You have two hours.
Make the most of it.
Star Armor Master Talisman: Inferno!
Exorcism Enchantment Ensemble: Astral Disaster!
Rage will heighten your spell power...
You should head into battle like that.
Just what do you...
What do you think people's lives are?!
Rokuro...
Let's hurry.
I'm gonna completely wreck you!
Mitosaka Kankuro, Seiryu of the Twelve Guardians!
Once I cut your head off, I'll tear your limbs off,
and after I split your belly open, I'll empty out your guts!
Well, I've always wanted to dissect a Basara, myself.
Dragon's Trial of the Frozen Heavens!
Dragon's Trial of the Frozen Heavens
Here we go!
Whoa, there!
It'd be great if I could dissect you just like this, but...
I'm guessing you refuse?
I'm not gonna play doctor with you, pal!
Good grief! You are one lively patient.
I can't see myself losing,
but the Twin Star duo could be in trouble if I spend too much time here...
Ryogo, you and the others look around town,
and rescue anyone being attacked by Kegare.
Right!
Now, then...
To get anyone who can't move on their own to a shelter,
we need a vehicle that can dodge Kegare attacks...
Kinako, please.
Oh, yeah!
Time for a once-in-a-lifetime performance by the professional shikigami, Kinako!
I'm gonna turn into the Kinako Car and tear up the road!
It's gonna be the wildest driving anyone's ever seen!
Mayura and I will do something about this underground bulb.
Right.
As for the main body of that stupidly huge Kegare,
I'm leaving it to you two.
Yeah!
Right!
Let's protect the town...
together!
These two are acting as anticipated.
Now, then, as for the other twelve...
Blammo!
What're you doing over there, money grubber?
Well, a Basara showed up where Kankuro was,
so he sent out a shikigami asking for help.
I'll do it, then.
It'll be faster that way.
Nah, you should be reserved as our secret weapon.
Besides, he contacted me.
I'm not gonna let a financial opportunity like that go.
That being the case,
I'd like you to clear out the Kegare in the area I was assigned to.
It's gonna cost you.
I want a year's worth of mitarashi dango.
A year is too long!
Make it six months.
Fair enough.
I'll just eat a year's worth in half the time.
Now, get going and help the medical chief already.
Dismissed!
Impure Legion Banishment, come forth at once!
You all right?
Are you hurt?
Thank you!
Wha?!
Crap!
It's dangerous here!
You should come with us!
Okay!
Shinnosuke...
Someone, help!
Impure Legion Banishment, come forth at once!
Thank you...
You'll be fine now.
Let's get out of here together, okay?
Kinako, take them!
You got it.
Hurry to the shelter!
Leave it to me. Watch me burn rubber.
Don't forget those seat belts.
This isn't just about taking the spell power from everyone in town.
It's destroying the town itself.
Let's go, Benio.
You don't need to tell me.
Star Armor Master Talisman: Inferno!
Exorcism Enchantment Ensemble: Astral Disaster!
Noble White Fangs!
These must be the tentacles that are draining people's spell power!
Burning Stone!
Crimson Strike!
Resonance!
Crimson Meteor Smash!
Crimson Meteor Smash
Damn it. It's too huge.
Rokuro, look.
Kuranashi wasn't just making empty threats.
As long as it has spell power stored away in that bulb, it can't be killed.
It's okay. Seigen and Mayura have gone to purify the bulb.
Is this the bulb?
Looks like it.
Then if we purify it...
You've got it.
Air Fissure Bullet!
We'll have to get rid of these tentacles to purify the bulb!
But to get rid of them, we need to purify the bulb...
But to do that, we need to get past them...
Either way, we're stuck, so let's just start with them.
Air Fissure Bullet, come forth at once!
Exorcist enchantment, Purification Blade Talisman!
Impure Legion Banishment, come forth at once!
We can't lose! We have to protect the town together!
I'm starting to want to get a whiff of your internal organs...
More patients waiting for an exam? Guess I'm gonna be busy.
If you're gonna be making money, then you need my advice.
Took you long enough, Ken-chan.
Don't complain after I already helped you!
'Kay.
And don't call me that name from when I was a kid!
Got it.
Furthermore, the combat pay I'm charging is gonna cost you.
If it's too much at once, I can set up an installment plan.
Since we're old friends, I'll even waive
the handling fee for the payment plan.
Well, thanks.
Thank you very much!
Uji Kengo, Genbu of the Twelve Guardians!
I get to take two of the Twelve Guardians' heads at once.
That's gonna save me a lot of trouble.
What's with the cheap-looking Basara?
Let's cut the small talk and take care of our health problem here.
Don't give me orders, you quack!
We don't have a lot of time.
Then let's get it done.
Dad... Is that...
This is the enchantment that belongs to Byakko of the Twelve Guardians,
the White Lotus Tiger Cannon.
But, Dad, you're not...
Hey, you stupid tiger.
I need you to give me your strength one more time.
Tiger Strike: Kagutsuchi!
Tiger Strike: Kagutsuchi
Return to the stars!
You're not shooting anything!
Flaming Sorcery!
Crimson Vision!
Resonance!
Vanishing Gold Smash!
Vanishing Gold Smash
Just you watch! Seigen and Mayura are gonna do something about
that bulb you're storing your spell power in!
Let's keep hitting it, Benio!
Right!
We're not gonna let you keep wrecking our town!
