And then comes the time to leave for Hell's Gate. KAGAMI Defeated by Kaede/Seiryu earlier, Kagami flew into the embrace of Hell's Gate. But he was not rewarded with a final death.

HIBIKI Her father saw the pure evil of the fiendish client and forged the dreaded weapon before expiring. "O Heaven, if only he had not come. Find him, and you will know," Genzo groaned as he died.
