What is the Nikko Kegon Falls Arc about?

The new story begins after the battles in Kyoto and Nerima.

Shiki and his classmates at Rasetsu Academy have continued growing stronger, but tensions emerge when **Ikari Yaoroshi rejects Mudano's teachings about friendship and leaves the academy** after being drawn to the ideology of Hayate Todoroki, the leader of the Oni Brigade.

Todoroki and his followers advocate for the complete destruction of the Momotaro, an approach that places them at odds with Shiki.

After realizing that the Oni Brigade's methods could also put civilians in danger, Shiki, Mudano and the others set out after Yaoroshi.

Their destination is **Nikko**, where Kegon Falls has mysteriously stopped flowing and a massive research facility has been constructed nearby. According to the official synopsis, disturbing experiments are taking place inside the facility.

New characters join the conflict

The Nikko Kegon Falls Arc will introduce several characters connected to the Momotaro Agency's Kegon Falls Branch Laboratory.

Among them are **Kusabi Momoura**, voiced by **Kenichi Suzumura**, the chief of the laboratory; **Hizumi Momotsugi**, voiced by **Yuki Kaji**, captain of the facility's 10th Unit; and **Senritsu Momoo**, voiced by **Kisho Taniyama**, vice-captain of the 3rd Unit.

The new setting appears set to push the conflict between the Oni and Momotaro into darker territory, particularly through the activities taking place inside the Kegon Falls research facility.
