The giant Arigami buds are blooming, causing mitamas to fall to earth. The mitamas cause all whom they touch to turn to plants... Momiji screams in pain as the Kushinada pulse is turned on her. Kaede hears her screams, but says that it is "too late." She melds herself into Susano-oh's mitama in order to protect him from Murakumo, who is still attacking. Murakumo suffers a few blows from Kusanagi before burying one of his heads into Susano-oh. Murakumo laughs, announcing that he has won, as he begins to drain Susano-oh's energy. Kaede only shakes her head and calls him a fool. Murakumo continues to feed off of Susano-oh's power until his mitama grow to be huge. Then suddenly, his mitama shatter. As Murakumo is left writhing in pain, Susano-oh finishes him with an energy bolt. The children of Japan can hear the Kushinada's pulse, Momiji's song, and are starting to sing along with it. Momiji has almost completed the matsuri. The members of the TAC note that they all feel warm and happy inside, and that this feeling must be what the matsuri is really about. Momiji speaks telepathically with Kaede, asking why she gave up on hope, before she falls to the ground. The TAC and Kusanagi rush to her aid. Meanwhile, children begin rushing outdoors. Unlike before, when the mitamas touch they melt harmlessly away. There is singing and dancing in the streets as the people of Japan celebrate nature and the matsuri. Kusanagi takes Momiji to Kaede, asking for her to help. Susano-oh, who is now a baby again, revives Momiji, per Kaede's request. Kaede bids them farewell and says that she and lord Susano-oh will return again, when Japan needs them. Kaede and the now infant Susano-oh dissapear into the earth. The TAC go their own ways. Sakura becomes an idol singer. Matsudaira is reunited with her son and husband. Takeuchi and Kunakida are seen at a temple, working together. Yaegashi is introducing Kome to his mother, who is very enthusiastic. Momiji and Kusanagi are walking in the forest together. Momiji wonders if they did the right thing and Kusanagi assures her that they did. Then she suddenly realizes that this forest is the same place they met for the first time (back in Episode 1) Kusanagi says he doesn't know, all he remembers is the funny panties she was wearing, and Momiji turns bright red. "Girls hate bullies and perverts, you know that?" she tells him. He appologizes and Momiji suggests that they start over. Then there's the sound of an off-screen kiss.
