Wataru celebrates his broken heart as he tries to move on from Mio, but it doesn’t seem like that will be easy as he still finds himself spending time with her and Taiga. While at an amusement park, an escaped prisoner takes a hostage and Nago attempt to defuse the situation but the newest member of the Blue Sky Group intervenes. It’s Kengo! And he’s sporting a new look and a new attitude, disrespecting both his former friend and his ex-mentor. Meanwhile, a scientist works to infuse one Fangire with the stolen powers of other Fangires, and Mio seeks an audience with Maya to come to terms with her role as queen…

With the Bloody Rose complete, Otoya plays it for the first time for Maya, blessing it with a prayer to preserve music for all time. Yuri, fed up, runs off and encounters Jiro, who learns of the strange relationship between Otoya and Maya and confronts him about it. In 2008, with the Bloody Rose damaged due to Wataru’s state of mind, he attempts to fix it, but it lacks something that gives it power. Meanwhile, Mio begs Maya to release her from being Queen, but Maya explains that the power itself chooses the Queen, while Kengo is given the IXA Knuckle to Nago’s dismay.
