Episode Title:
New Cherry Blossoms
Episode Description:
Taiyo visits Makoto in a high security spy prison, whose body has also begun to sprout blossoms. Makoto informs Taiyo how Tsubomi's Someinine is far more potent than in her descendants. He reveals the Book of Buds is written in ink made from Tsubomi's blood, and only someone with mastery of Profuse Blooming can read it. He also reveals the hosts of Tsubomi's blood can resonate with each other. Momo suddenly materializes behind Taiyo, planning to kill Makoto. The siblings instantly crash the prison and Kyoichiro reveals it was Momo that killed their mother and almost took Mutsumi's heart. Makoto reveals Momo is actually a copy of Tsubomi made of pure someinine crystals, the ultimate Profuse Blooming, and always intended to offer his wife and Mutsumi to Tsubomi. Momo regrets that for the future he seeks, he must be his children's enemy. Makoto reveals to master Profuse Blooming requires direct intervention by Tsubomi, so he tells Taiyo to absorb all Tsubomi's someinine inside him. Momo tries to stop them, but it is already too late. Makoto disintegrates and has an emotional farewell with Tsubomi before dying. Momo departs, promising to keep watching Taiyo as he grows.
