Summary
Yato mourns Yukine's sacrifice and as Bishamonten is about to land the finishing blow. Yato realizes Yukine's name hasn't faded and resummons Sekki, who has now become a Hafuri Shinki. He is able to hold his own against Bishamonten who begins to suffer from blight through Aiha while Kugaha sends Ayakashi to feed on his fellow Shinki to cause Bishamoten pain while also getting rid of them. He reveals to Aiha that he is doing this because he got sick of this place as Bishamonten is not the God of War she should be and that he will kill her to reincarnate her and be her new exemplar. Aiha, guilty over what she has done, takes Kuraha to releases Hiyori and Kazuma and tells them to save Bishamonten. They arrive in time to tell Yato the truth, but Bishamonten refuses to back down. Kazuma pushes Yato out of the way, taking the blow instead and confessing to Bishamonten that he was the one who told Yato to kill all of the ma clan to save her, causing her to break down and cry. She releases her battle Shinki, who have also suffered from blight due to being in contact with Bishamonten.
