Running out of time, Tokine rashly decides to jump straight into the true barrier of Yoshimori, effectively managing to reawaken him from his trance. The Yagyou, along with Yoshimori and Tokine escape the crumbling world of Kurosusuki, travelling back through the passageway. Princess turns the castle into a golden field, as Byaku carries her on his back, reminiscing about his first encounter with her. Shigemori and Tokiko connect themselves within the passageway, preventing destruction. Yoshimori confesses to Tokine that he had to avenge Gen's death in order to move on in life. The Yagyou takes their leave after the mission has finally been completed. Yoshimori and Tokine resume their normal position at the Karasumori site.
