Summary
Raising how she has feelings for Yuichiro but hesitates to act, Shikama Doji says to Shinoa how about he gets the ball rolling. Using his finger to open that door for her, Shinoa sees a literal large door open at her feet. Ordering him to be still, Shinoa shuts the door to her emotions. Telling him that is enough, Shinoa has chains bind Shikama Doji, who comments that she is desperate. Speaking how she can bind him with chains all she likes, Shikama Doji details that Shinoa's body will not stop maturing. One day, she will be an adult and Shikama Doji adds Shinoa will have an adult's desires, ones where she will not able to resist. Shikama Dōji says Shinoa will be unable to control her desires, and she will be overcome by lust and become obsessed with Yūichirō. Shinoa restrains him and tells him to shut up. Returning her attention to the battlefield, Narumi, along with Yoichi, and Mitsuba notice Shinoa has returned. Shinoa asks if the only reason Yu needs to live is the desire to save his family. Above in the air Yu continues to clash with the sixth trumpet. Shinoa says this is fascinating. Shikama Dōji watches over her. Calling to him, Mika tells Yu to hang in there, he is coming to save him. Mika and the humans charge and attack the Horsemen. Observing this, Shinoa considers how greed and desire are fed to their inner demons to give them the strength to move forward. Guren cuts across a Fourse Horsemen of John, and as Kimizuki fights his desires are to save his sister no matter what. Concerning a reason to live, Shinoa is curious for Yu to teach her more. The sixth trumpet keeps telling Yu to die, but Yu says they don't need to fight. He says they are both part of the same experiment. Yu eventually jumps on top of the angel and holds him down. When he tries to attack Yu with the trumpet, Mika deflects it. Then, Kimizuki appears with the injection and stabs it into the angel's neck. The sixth trumpet floats into the air, and a cross-shaped object with a ring on the top three points shoots out of his chest. The sixth trumpet falls, and his wings dissolve. Yu and Kimizuki catch him.

Then, there is a reaction from the Horsemen.
