Since we had a two week gap between episodes (though they were nice enough to include a 45 minute recap episode for the whole series last week), let's start this review off with a brief recap shall we? Shuichiro has taken the crystal that started the whole Apocalypse Virus outbreak in the first place and is using some sort of radio wave device to essentially finish what he started ten years ago during the first Lost Christmas. The Undertakers were in the midst of attempting to take it from Shuichiro when Gai was overcome by the virus being suppressed in his body and became weakened as Inori tried to fend off the virus from killing everyone in Roppongi by singing a song that seems to be linked to the stone - or something else entirely - in some way. Shu arrives with the help of his friends and their Voids and is reunited with Inori, only to be ambushed by a blond boy who also has the King's Mark. The boy tries to kill Shu, but he's saved by Gai, who steps in at the last second and takes the blow for him. And that's where our next episode picks up! As Shu is holding Gai and begging him not to die, we see Shuichiro and Makoto walking down some sort of corridor and we learn that all of Roppongi Fort was a phantasm created by one girl's heart: Mana Ouma. Shuichiro hands Makoto the Void data he wanted but tells him that he is no longer needed and cannot accompany him any further. It seems as though Makoto got what he wanted, but what he plans on doing with it, we're not sure. Heading back to where Shu and Gai are, Shu is staring at Gai and finally really notices the cross he has always been wearing. After a series of flashbacks, it dawns on him who Gai truly is and the fact that he's known him for almost ten years. But before Shu can completely remember who Gai is and what their connection is, Gai turns his attention to the blond man holding Inori's unconscious body. He calls him the Daath grave keeper, though neither Shu nor I know what that means. As the man and Inori begin to drift away, Gai urges Shu to follow them, saying that they plan on sacrificing Inori to re-awaken Mana. Shu follows the man and is able to use his King's Mark to gain access to the dimension/realm that Daath is taking Inori to.
