Summary

Now that the Fairy-Tale Card has fallen, every person trapped by its influence breaks free. Exhausted, Okarun pleads with Rin to channel her gravity manipulation and yank Momo out of the cursed trunk without delay. The inner realm is nearly gone when Momo wraps herself around Turbo Granny and voices thanks for the company. The yokai answers that anyone close to Seiko is someone she would never desert. That loyalty evaporates the moment she spots Momo's form crumbling: she rounds on the girl, begging the realm to claim Momo and let her own life go on, which leaves Momo furious. Both of them lift off the ground, and they understand the card has lost and Rin's gravity is hauling them out. Climbing higher, Momo notices her companion ballooning in size, yet once the pair returns to reality a shocked Momo discovers she has shrunk to a size that fits within Okarun's open hand.

Far off, the Fairy-Tale Card, stripped of its strength, is intercepted by Saint-Germain before it can flee. The yokai recalls their deal, by which it lent its power for a way out of the trunk, but the Count insists survival comes only after the words "I lose" are spoken. Glad for so plain a condition, the card surrenders and celebrates its liberty, then shrieks in agony and rage as Saint-Germain runs a small blade through it to siphon the power away. While the yokai pleads for its strength to be returned, Saint-Germain spells out his ambition to learn every secret the world hides and to gather all things tied to the supernatural, Dandadan among them, and he asks whether the card has heard of it.

Key Events

As the card's spell lifts, a depleted Okarun tells Rin to start her song once more. Inside Danmara, Momo's form begins to fade, yet she and Turbo Granny float upward together and land in Okarun's palm, where Momo turns out to have shrunk drastically.

The fleeing Fairy-Tale Card is trapped by Saint-Germain, who insists it own up to its loss. Once it does, the Count drives his blade in, takes its power, and channels that energy through his sword. He then names himself a gatherer of the supernatural and asks the yokai if the word Dandadan means anything to it.
