第 25 集: 曙光逼近,紅葉正在進行祭典儀式,而須佐之男正在變異,荒神威脅著日本。

It's dawn and the TAC is preparing for the final battle. The team prepares the Kushinada pulse amplifying machine while Momiji prepares herself for the Rite of Matsuri. With less than an hour until the solar eclipse, Kaede begins the ceremony by touching a sword to the field around Susano-oh. Susano-oh begins to mutate into a big, ugly nasty beastie. Meanwhile, the Prime Minister is being persuaded by his aide to lie to the people of Japan to keep them calm and under control. The Minister goes on television, but instead of lying to the people, he tells the truth. He informs them that the problems have been caused by an ancient race of monsters called the Arigami, and that the Kushinada is the only one with the power to stop them. Momiji comes onto television, requesting that the people of Japan give her a chance to live. She wants to try an alternate method to kill Susano-oh, but if her plan does not work, she will accept her fate and sacrifice herself. Momiji begins the rite of matsuri, and the pulse machine amplifies the pulse by satellites onto Susano-oh's resting place in Tokyo. Susano-oh retaliates with a blue force field that destroys the satellites and rocks all of Japan. Murakumo uses this opportunity to transform into a dragon and create a ceramic field around Momiji and the sacrificial altar. Meanwhile, the Prime Minister and his aide are watching Murakumo on television, unsure of what to make or do with the situation. Suddenly, three of their associates reveal themselves to be Arigami in disguise. The Arigami order the Prime Minister to give the United States the signal to drop the bomb, so they might kill the Kushinada while she was in the ceramic field. The Prime Minister refuses and the Arigami revert to their true forms. But before they can possess him, Sugashita saves the day, along with Sakura and a giant pink turtle. Murakumo uses Momiji and the TAC as bait, trying to lure out Kaede. He wants to kill both Kushinada at the same time. Kaede finally appears and saves Momiji. Sakura destroys the ceramic fields and Murakumo announces that he will take on Susano-oh instead. Kusanagi takes off after him and Momiji tries to reason with Kaede. Her efforts are pointless, however, as Kaede only rebukes her argument, then leaves to be with Susano-oh. Murakumo has Kusanagi in a bad position, as we see breifly, since Kusanagi is so much smaller than him. Momiji, refusing to give up, climbs the steps to the altar and tells Matsudaira to use the Kushinada pulse amplifier on her. She then begins the Rite of Matsuri again, while Susano-oh continues to grow in power... (Source: TV.com)
