A deadly power lurks in Ganta, and a prisoner being held in solitary in G-Ward may have answers, including more information about the mysterious Red Man who actually murdered all of Ganta's classmates. But, G-Ward isn’t on any known maps, and nobody seems to know of its existence. Shiro and Ganta’s semi-prisoner friend help break a way into the secret ward where a prisoner known as “Crow” is locked up. He refers to Ganta as “Woodpecker” and reveals little else except that he and Ganta share the same mysterious powers in their blood.

Suzume sets off on her own to find a way back into the Everafter. Her first stop is to talk with Souta’s grandfather, who tells her the only way in is how she entered as a child. This means she must revisit her destroyed childhood home in Northern Japan. As she begins her journey, she is waylaid by her aunt and Souta’s schoolmate, both of whom force their way into her journey. Suzume confronts the memories of her childhood and finds her portal into the Everafter, and the fierce battle waiting for her on the other side. 
Three aspiring agents of Death come together (eventually) at school and learn to be better collectors of souls. For two characters, Maka and Black Star, they are on a mission to create an ultimate weapon for Death, and to do so, they need to collect 99 souls of humans and one witch, which they feed to their weapons. Their weapons also can become anthropomorphic entities with strong personalities that must match their weapon-masters soul energy. Otherwise, wielding them is nearly impossible. Our third character is none other than Death’s son — Death the Kid — a reaper with a powerful pair of guns as his weapons.
Trapped in a game within The Beach, Usagi races to find Arisu who has been tied up and left in a room while his time winds down towards certain death in Borderland. Usagi is desperate to avoid the militant faction who are trying to root out the witch by pulling innocent people to the beach and threatening to throw them into the bonfire. Others are murdering any and all people they come across in case they are the Witch in order to end the Ten of Hearts game.
Chihiro begins a fierce battle with Sojo, and the two with their enchanted blades are very evenly matched. They take turns exchanging powerful magical attacks while Sojo goads Chihiro about his father's selfishness to keep the swords hidden for the time he had, even though he admires the craftsmanship it took to make such beautiful weapons. Elsewhere on the battlefield, things are very perilous for the Anti-Cloud Gouger special forces. Later, Char reveals a bit about her time when she was imprisoned with her mother, especially how she was able to escape.
At a young age, Allen Walker was constricted into the fight against the Millennium Earl and his deadly cruel Akuma, machines built upon the grief and sin of humans longing for the souls of a dearly departed loved one. With a powerful weapon embedded into his left hand and a cursed eye that can see Akuma trapped inside their human hosts, Allen is on a mission to find Innocence, a material that can be manufactured into new weapons to take on the Earl. This will help build up the power of the Black Order, the group of exorcists sworn to protect humanity and fight the Millennium Earl's Akuma weapons.
