The battle between the Exorcists and the Earl's forces begins in Edo. While Lavi fights Tyki, the Earl combines all the Akuma into two giant Akuma which attack the Exorcists. Lavi attacks Tyki with a new move, a combination of the Fire and Heaven Seals. The Exorcists attack the Combined Akuma, but their attacks have little effect. One Combined Akuma uses its Evil Star Gita attack and destroys much of the battlefield. Chomesuke sacrifices herself to enable Lavi, Krory, and Bookman to attack the Combined Akuma's head, its weak point. Although they succeed in knocking it down, the Akuma manages to get back up again and Tyki rejoins the attack. Meanwhile, Allen enters the Ark and is surprised to find that it is a lovely place filled with white buildings, just like any other country. When he expresses his concern for his friends, Komui cheers him up by telling him to think about happy thoughts. Kanda, Marie, and General Tiedoll arrive in Edo, overlooking the scene of the battle between the Exorcists and the Akuma.
