Summary
As Osamu Kirin is about to end Towa with a final blow, Towa regains her demonic abilities by showing no mercy as she stabs him right in his heart, killing him instantly. With Riku fatally injured, Towa is absolutely crushed. Riku then claims that she helped him understand what love truly means and tells her that she must lives on as he passes on, reverting back to his original form. Towa then wipes her tears away and moves forward as she later arrives to backup Setsuna and Moroha. Sesshōmaru and Kirinmaru continues to clash with Sesshōmaru taunting Kirinmaru that he is acting more like a human. As Kirinmaru was about to land a hit on Sesshōmaru, Sesshōmaru easily overpowers him by slashing him unbelievably deep, with the Eastern Beast King unable to see it coming as their battle continues to rage on. As Towa is attempting to save Rion by using the Zanseiken, Setsuna warns her not to use it as her kon will be drained once more due to it's curse. Towa then tells her sister and others to carve their own fate as she uses the sword's power to save Rion from her regretful past and Osamu Kirin as she offers her body to her.

Rion is now freed from her past and Osmau, but at the cost of Towa's very existence as the selfless half-demon girl collapses, which worries Setsuna and Moroha greatly that they will truly will never see their warm-hearted relative ever again. Rion fuses with Towa's lifeless body as it disappears with Rion herself still remains. Kirinmaru is ultimately outmatched by Sesshōmaru, as Sesshōmaru breaks almost every parts of his armor with Kirinmaru having to cough off blood. Kirinmaru admitting his defeat, asks Sesshomaru to take him up to the Grim Butterfly's interior so he could see her one last time as Sesshōmaru does so. Kirinmaru meets his beloved daughter again by apologizing to her for everything as they rekindle their once close bond.

Rion requests Setsuna to cut the red thread of fate between her and her father. Kirinmaru agrees to it as he apologizes to the Half-Demon Princesses. Setsuna cuts their red thread as both Kirinmaru and Rion dies peacefully knowing that they will be joining Zero. Towa is saved as Setsuna and Moroha are glad that their relative has returned. The group then notices that the Grim Butterfly has stopped moving as it is destroyed as they return to the surface realizing that they had won. Moroha is once again with her parents and Towa and Setsuna finally embrace their mother Rin. Jaken tears up in happiness that Sesshōmaru is more happier than usual as the whole crew and family return to their peaceful lives.
