Strike the Blood III

Strange occurrences at sea result in Itogami Island becoming isolated. Nagisa continues to suffer effects from her previous exertions. A terrorist group known as Tartarus Lapse (タルタロス・ラプス) begins operations on the island.

The terrorists launch an attack upon the warehouse district. Afterward, Kojo and Himeragi meet the terrorist leader, Senga Takehito, who tries to recruit them. He reveals his beliefs about the true nature of the island, its purpose of reviving Cain, and his plans to oppose this. The final terrorist attack begins with Carly attempting to shoot Asagi. Kojo and Himeragi are intercepted by December and they begin to fight. Kojo soon gains the upper hand but when December sparks his blocked memories, he blacks out, allowing Takehito to rescue December.

At Mogwai’s urging and with Motoki’s assistance, Asagi makes her way to the Keystone Gate in order to end the hacking attack upon the island’s network. Meanwhile, Kojo and Himeragi battle ineffectively against the demons unleashed by the terrorists. Sayaka and others arrive to join the fray. Kojo drinks the blood of Himeragi and Yuiri to give himself the power to win the battle. December reveals her true nature and returns the tenth familiar to him. Alone now, Takehito attempts to destroy the island’s keystone but instead, his worst fears are realised.
