Ep. 9: Shido confronts Kurumi while Mana pressures Kotori and spirits battle clones
Aired on June 2, 2013
After Mana kills Kurumi and reveals the truth to Shido, he distances himself from Tohka and Origami due to trauma. Tohka discovers his distress and continues their date to lift his spirits. The following day, Shido declares his intent to save Kurumi, prompting her to trap the school in a field. Meanwhile, Mana confronts Kotori about Ratatoskr to leverage Shido's safety. As Origami and Tohka fight Kurumi copies, Shido convinces the original Kurumi, only for her to be killed by a time-twisting clone using Zaphkiel. It is revealed that Kurumi’s shadow hands belong to her past selves. She takes hostages to trigger a spatial quake, but Kotori arrives in her Astral Dress as the Ifrit spirit to cancel the explosion and engage Kurumi in combat.
