End of the Aizens III (愛染の終 III Aizen no Tsui III) is the 62nd chapter of the Shakugan no Shana manga series.
Yūji thought up a plan to buy time against Sydonay. Sorath emerged from Shana's attack unscathed.
Summary[]
Yūji claiming to be Tenmoku Ikko.
On the bridge, Yūji wondered what to do as Sydonay had seen him and was approaching. He tried to calm himself and thought about how he could buy time until Shana arrived. Yūji couldn't fight him, as Sydonay had just defeated Margery, and settled on creating a stalemate situation. He needed a bluff that would make Sydonay hesitate and be cautious, and since Sydonay would know nothing about him, it could work. Yūji remembered that a while ago Shana had told him about someone, and Sydonay should know about them if he had come to the city for the Nietono no Shana. However, if Sydonay suddenly attacked him it would be all over. He needed Sydonay to ask him who he was. Sydonay figured that Yūji was a Mystes, and had his suspicions. He gathered his power and asked who Yūji was, and Yūji replied that he was Tenmoku Ikko.
Sydonay jumped back, having bought the bluff, as it was reasonable for Tenmoku Ikko to be working for the owner of the Nietono no Shana. Sydonay suddenly fired balls of flame at Yūji, but he was unaffected. Like the rumors had said, Tenmoku Ikko was unaffected by Unrestricted Spells. In reality, Azure had protected Yūji, who had truly thought he was going to die. Yūji had created the stalemate, but was out of ideas. He had to rely on Shana now, but wanted her praise for his efforts.
Shana was preparing to finish off Sorath and Tiriel when Tiriel gathered the Power of Existence of the remaining Pinions together. When the power dissipated, Shana saw only Sorath, healed and wearing a cape. He still wanted the Nietono no Shana and Tiriel told Shana to hand it over from behind him. Tiriel was the cape, and she was fading away due to lack of Power of Existence required to manifest. She said that the cape was her true nature of wanting to protect her brother. There was not enough Power of Existence to block Shana's attack and heal Sorath, so she had to use her own existence, and she would die if she continued to use herself. Shana didn't understand why Tiriel persisted; if she was in Tiriel's position, she would have run away when Cradle Garden started failing. Tiriel explained again that granting Sorath's wishes and protecting him meant everything to her, and that that was her love.
Shana feeling the "uncontrollable feeling".
Sorath didn't seem to care about Tiriel's state and still wanted the sword, leading Shana to ask Tiriel why she was doing so much for him. Tiriel asked if Shana wanted to feel the same uncontrollable feeling as her, and told her about a boy who was on the bridge. Shana felt that it was Yūji and Tiriel saw her going pale and urged Sorath to head for the bridge. Shana desperately flew after them to save Yūji, now understanding and feeling the "uncontrollable feeling".
