The five Exorcists and three surviving sailors finally arrive in Japan, but they are in bad shape from their injuries. Chomesuke changes into her human form, a young woman named Sachiko. She tells them that Japan has long been under the Earl's control. On the way to Edo, the group witnesses one of Sachiko's friends being killed and eaten by three Level 3 Akuma. Tyki meets up with Jasdero and David who have been assigned to kill General Cross and travel together to meet the Earl. Chomesuke is captured by one of the Level 3 Akuma, who proves to be more than a match for both Lavi and Krory. However, Lavi cleverly attracts the attention of the other two Level 3s, and the three Akuma begin fighting between each other over who will kill the Exorcists, who seize their chance to escape. Meanwhile the Millennium Earl gathers his Noah in Edo.
