Crimson Curse of the Sorcerer Sakurai cannot explain how Aoi's body caught fire while the rest of her house was undamaged while Ikari dies in the hospital at the same time. Murota is convinced Enzo's curse will kill him next and hides himself away in his office. Yu attends Ikari's funeral and personally witnesses Ikari's corpse explode into flames. However, Sakurai quickly discovers a fire bomb had been placed in the coffin, suggesting Aoi's death was murder. Yu informs the police of a suspicious motorcyclist he saw outside the funeral home before the explosion. The motorcyclist later sends Yu a letter warning him all those who desecrated Enzo's grave will die. Shortly after, Yu's car is also set on fire. Yu sees the motorcyclist again and suddenly realizes who the culprit is and lures the motorcyclist into attacking him. After he and Mai apprehend him Yu confirms the motorcyclist responsible for the murders is Ashiya Yuuta, Enzo's descendant and current owner of the family estate where Enzo’s tomb is located. Mai notes Yu took measures to ensure Takao did not get involved in the danger and is certain he has a crush on her. Yuuta admits to firebombing Yu's car and attempting to attack him, but denies being responsible for the deaths of Ikari and Aoi which he blames on the curse. Murota is suddenly brought to the hospital extremely ill and Yu notices a strange rash on his chest, just as Murota spontaneously bursts into flames.
