Ep. 25: Dawn approaches as Momiji performs the Rite of Matsuri while Susano-oh mutates and Arigami threaten Japan.

As dawn breaks, the TAC readies the Kushinada pulse amplifier for the final battle against the mutating Susano-oh. With an hour until the solar eclipse, Kaede initiates a ceremony, triggering Susano-oh’s monstrous transformation. The Prime Minister broadcasts the truth about the Arigami monsters to the public, prompting Momiji to request a chance to live via an alternative method. If she fails, she accepts sacrifice. Momiji begins the Rite of Matsuri, amplifying pulses via satellites onto Susano-oh in Tokyo, but the beast destroys them with a force field. Murakumo shields Momiji in a ceramic field and attempts to lure Kaede. Three Arigami in disguise order the Prime Minister to signal the US for a bomb strike, but he refuses. Sugashita, Sakura, and a giant pink turtle intervene. Murakumo targets both Kushinadas, but Kaede saves Momiji. Sakura breaks the ceramic field, and Murakumo engages Kusanagi. Kaede rejects Momiji’s pleas and joins Susano-oh. Momiji climbs the altar, instructing Matsudaira to use the amplifier on her, and restarts the Rite of Matsuri as Susano-oh grows stronger.
