22. Sadness! Fate! Momiji Kushinada!
The prime minister grudgingly decides to sacrifice Momiji in order to save Japan from the growing Arigami infestation. Momiji, still grieving over the loss of Kusanagi, accepts her fate and goes with the government to be sacrificed. The TAC isn't quite ready to give up on her just yet. Takeuchi and Kome go to rescue Momiji. Momiji refuses to go at first, saying that this is her destiny. But Takeuchi slaps some sense into her (literally) and reminds her of what they are fighting for. The three TAC manage to escape thanks to some unexpected help from Sakura and her pink sea creatures. As they are leaving, Momiji's mitama begins to glow. She can sense Kusanagi!

23. Meeting Again! Starting the Journey! I Won't Lose!
Momiji and the TAC take refuge in Sakura's apartment in order to avoid the goverment long enough to find a way to handle the Arigami. Sakura confirms Kunakida's suspicions--the US can't help until they are specifically asked for assistance by the Japanese government, due to the terms of the joint-treaty. The TAC hopes that the apartment is inconspicious enough that they will be able to continue their Arigami research without disturbance. Unfortunately, that isn't the case. Murakumo shows up. Yaegashi is wounded trying to protect Kome, and Momiji is carried off by Murakumo. Murakumo takes Momiji back to the place where Kaede and Susano-oh are residing. He hopes to use Momiji to get to Kaede, who he now wants to kill. His plans are interrupted by Kusanagi. A battle ensues. Kaede saves Momiji, whose mitama is lost (but retrieved by Kusanagi.) The giant mitama is Susano-oh's resting place begins to shake violently. Thanks to his new mitama, courtesy of Momiji, Kusanagi is able to fly them

24. The Setting Sun! The Coming Day! A Private Time for Each of Us!
Kusanagi pays the prime minister a visit and delivers a special package--a cell phone from Kunakida. With it, Kunakida tries to convince goverment officials that the TAC can eliminate the Arigami without sacrificing Momiji. He asks that they at least give the TAC a chance to save Momiji's life. The prime minister reveals that that Momiji's pictures were released to the press by an Arigami spy in the government, whom they have been unable to identify. Meanwhile, Japan is in an uproar. Volcanos are erupting everywhere and plants continue to grow at incredible rates. The people want the Momiji to be placed in custody, and they are angry with the goverment for being unable to do so. Progress continues on the Kushinada pulse, and the TAC discovers that the secret to the Kushinada's blood is somehow involved in the strange melody that both Momiji and Kaede resonate. Momiji remembers that Kaede spoke of the rite of matsuri, and asks to be taken to the place where the ceremony is held. Kunakid

25. All or Nothing! Decision! My Fate!
It's dawn and the TAC is preparing for the final battle. The team prepares the Kushinada pulse amplifying machine while Momiji prepares herself for the Rite of Matsuri. With less than an hour until the solar eclipse, Kaede begins the ceremony by touching a sword to the field around Susano-oh. Susano-oh begins to mutate into a big, ugly nasty beastie. Meanwhile, the Prime Minister is being persuaded by his aide to lie to the people of Japan to keep them calm and under control. The Minister goes on television, but instead of lying to the people, he tells the truth. He informs them that the problems have been caused by an ancient race of monsters called the Arigami, and that the Kushinada is the only one with the power to stop them. Momiji comes onto television, requesting that the people of Japan give her a chance to live. She wants to try an alternate method to kill Susano-oh, but if her plan does not work, she will accept her fate and sacrifice herself. Momiji begins the rite of matsur

26. New Soul!
The giant Arigami buds are blooming, causing mitamas to fall to earth. The mitamas cause all whom they touch to turn to plants... Momiji screams in pain as the Kushinada pulse is turned on her. Kaede hears her screams, but says that it is ""too late."" She melds herself into Susano-oh's mitama in order to protect him from Murakumo, who is still attacking. Murakumo suffers a few blows from Kusanagi before burying one of his heads into Susano-oh. Murakumo laughs, announcing that he has won, as he begins to drain Susano-oh's energy. Kaede only shakes her head and calls him a fool. Murakumo continues to feed off of Susano-oh's power until his mitama grow to be huge. Then suddenly, his mitama shatter. As Murakumo is left writhing in pain, Susano-oh finishes him with an energy bolt. The children of Japan can hear the Kushinada's pulse, Momiji's song, and are starting to sing along with it. Momiji has almost completed the matsuri. The members of the TAC note that they all feel warm and happy
