Though he intended to use the SG1 as human shields to survive the night, Tousei ends up being chased down by every Horror in Vol City as his malice attracts them all to him. Back in the Makai Priest city, forced to take cover from Zedom's attacks, Ryuga's group advances when Takeru uses himself as a distraction so Ryuga and Aguri can reach the Horror. However, Zedom manages to remove and seal Ryuga's Garo armor. The unprotected Ryuga is pulled by Zedom as the Horror intends to claim his body, but Burai's soul contacts Rian and entrusts her with his Mad? Brush, guiding her to use it to create a weak point in Zedom's protection. Aguri pierces through this point with his arrow and Takeru frees the Garo armor from Zedom's grasp, allowing Ryuga to don it once more. Once reunited with Ryuga, Takeru and Aguri are bathed in Garo's golden radiance and their armors also turn golden for a brief moment as the trio finally defeats Zedom. Some days later, after Rian erases the memories of themselves and the Horrors from all of the people in Vol City, it is revealed that Aguri was summoned to work at the Senate, Rian is ordered to guard the ancient ruins under the city, and Takeru is appointed to the Western region, bidding farewell to Rui before he leaves. But before leaving, Ryuga visits the Steakhouse where Tousei has returned. Though he pretended that his memories were also erased, Tousei is revealed to have become the host of the various Horrors that cornered him days ago. A fearful Tousei attempts to run from Ryuga, but is halted by Rian who personally kills him. Telling Ryuga that killing a weak coward like Tousei was beneath him, Rian reveals that Aguri agreed to stay behind and protect the ruins instead of her, as she has decided to stay by Ryuga's side. With a grave for Hakana set in the ancient ruins beneath the crumbled Goddess Statue, Ryuga and Rian leave Vol City for the south.
