The prime minister grudgingly decides to sacrifice Momiji in order to save Japan from the growing Arigami infestation.

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
