Daijin reappears and reveals he has passed on his function as a keystone to Souta. Souta suddenly turns into a keystone and
reluctantly uses him to lock-up the giant worm. Suzume wakes up at a shrine housing the Tokyo gate, where she sees Souta in the Ever-After, but is unable to enter the door. Daijin appears and Suzume gets angry at him and tells him not to come back. She visits Souta's grandfather, Hitsujirō Munakata, at the hospital, hoping to figure out how to rescue Souta. He explains that Suzume's ability to see the worm and the Ever-After through the doors, means that in some point in her life she entered the realm through one of the doors. Moreover, the doorway that she first used is the only place where she can re-enter the Ever-After in order to save Souta. She decides to locate this specific door in her hometown in the
and tsunami, where Suzume lost both her mother and home. On her way, Suzume runs into Souta's friend, Tomoya Serizawa, who wants to help her to find Souta, along with Suzume's aunt, Tamaki, who has been looking for Suzume to take her back to Kyushu. Suzume refuses to go back and jumps into Serizawa's car. Tamaki also jumps in and they travel to Tōhoku.
Another example would be when he killed Emi Akezawa by rupturing her eardrums and then breaking her spine. He is a
man, believing and knowing that he is the most vital living creature on Earth, and he feels inclined to do whatever he wants, with no one being able to stop him. He views everyone else as insects compared to him and sees them as "the weak". He believes that everything should be obtained with pure strength alone and therefore does not believe in using weapons. He considers his body as the ultimate weapon, which proves to be more effective and deadly than any other weapon or technology. Since his fight with Baki went viral, Yuujirou was annoyed that he had gained unwanted fans and has referenced several young children asking for his autograph since the fight. Despite being wrathful, Yuujirou is surprisingly patient and almost always keeps his cool. He is stoic most of the time, often speaking only what is needed and even just what is necessary. In truth, most of the time only silently listens to others and sometimes adds something and can keep his cool even when he is insulted. Although enough is enough, he can be very violent, and he almost instantly switches back to his usual calm demeanor. Yuujirou does have a somewhat "soft" side.
