Summary
''Kaira appears in front of Natsume and friends and he tells them that Soranaki is growing stronger and that if Soranaki achieves his objective both the Yo-kai World and the human world will sink into darkness. Apparently they always knew that Natsume was Shuka, and the only way to stop Soranaki might be for Natsume to fully awaken as Shuka and use her powers. Kaira's words worry Natsume. Meanwhile, Enma and Nurarihyon finally arrive to their destination, Shuka's long lost castle.''
