Shiki recalls childhood trauma and is paralyzed by Kanonba mosquitoes until Akira and Kabane arrive. Mihai reveals the poison’s mechanism, but Shiki breaks free by trapping Erika with sweat webs. Reika, the eldest sister, kills her siblings and overpowers the group. Kabane, realizing his human strength is insufficient, channels his desire to protect Akira and Shiki to activate his kemono power, ripping Reika’s arms off. Nobimaru from Inari’s agency appears, incinerating the Kanonbas. He privately informs Kabane that Inari seeks his life stone but fears Inugami’s wrath, admitting his dislike for Inari.
