He turns back time and returns to July 22 for the fifth time. Ushio’s shadow arrives with Shinpei. She is delighted to see Hizuru and is relieved that the latter came back to life.

In the last episode, the shadow master shot Hizuru to death. But thanks to Shinpei’s loop, Hizuru is still alive.

Meanwhile, Nezu looks suspicious and accuses Shinpei of siding with the shadows. However, Hizuru tells Nezu to stop being rash. Then, Shinpei goes on to tell Hizuru and Nezu about his power that allows him to observe something and it becomes a reality.
