Rikuo gathers the combined fear of his Night Parade of a Hundred Demons by using the Matoi technique and attacks Nue. To Nue's surprise his body starts to fall apart. Realizing that his body still needs to adjust to the human world Nue retreats to Hell, taking his followers with him, but promising to return to finish the fight. Exhilaration fills the allies at their unexpected victory. Rikuo tells his grandfather to make him the Third Heir to the Nura Clan and states that he is willing to undergo any training to become stronger. Afterwards, Hidemoto and Nurarihyon discuss matters and estimate that they have about a year before Nue returns. Resting at home, Rikuo dreams of his father and grandfather. When he wakes up he joins the council where Nurarihyon informs everyone that there will be an all-out war against Nue clan and its retainers. Rikuo then informs his subordinates that the Night Parade of a Hundred Demons he leads will follow a code of honor and not hurt humans.
