Shortly after, Guren Ichinose successfully eliminated the Nineteenth Progenitor Mel Stefano, Kusunoki appears gravely injured before him. Despite knowing how fatal his wound are, Guren needed him to give a clear, rational report. Kusunoki reports that the thirty-man attack team sent to Nagoya City Hall was destroyed and that the Vampires requested to see him. When Guren replies why he should he do such a thing. he explains that the vampires only killed ten of them and the other twenty are held hostages. Kusunoki apologizes about his team's situation but Guren insists that it was his fault for setting up a flawed plan. He asks Norito Goshi to create an illusion with his Cursed Gear for Kusunoki, so he can rest in peace. Before succumbing to his injury, he tells Guren that it was an honor serving under him. Kusunoki dies with a smile on his face, shortly after giving his report.

Afterwards, Mito Jūjō warns Guren that it was an obvious trap however he orders that his squad are going to reinforce Shinoa's squad and Narumi's squad.
