Reminiscence

Busujima reveals that his lover Akari's spirit is within Mayuri. Crow is willing to fight him, but Raiga tells him to find Mayuri instead as he and Busujima equip their respective Makai Knight armors to finish the fight. As Raiga asks Busujima if this is what Akari wants, he manages to defeat Giru as he reveals that he knew Akari and gave her the bell that Busujima now possesses. Though Raiga states his intent to spare him for Akari's sake, Busujima refuses to surrender. But before the fight resumes, Mayuri runs in and reveals that Crow has sacrificed himself to save her from being possessed by Eyrith. After explaining that Eyrith needs a host to take her to where she must bloom, Busujima attempts to have the Horror relinquish her host for him. But Eyrith uses Crow's body to destroy the Akari clone and then mortally wounds Busujima before taking to the air. As Raiga pursues Crow on Gōten, Mayuri reveals to Busujima that she never had Akari's soul and only responded to his feelings of loss. This makes Busujima feel everything he did was for nothing as Mayuri tells him that Akari lives on through him. Biku arrives and deems Busujima no longer her quarry as she decides to treat his wounds while Mayuri finds Raiga.
