You've been reading the spoilers again, haven't you?!
Imawano Setsuna quickly reads Kensuke’s mind and discovers the plot to lure her to Lord Tamamo’s garden (where she will be defenseless and Kagura can use Byakuei). The entire Juugondou has gathered and the Count, head of Juugondou Overseas Department, issues Setsuna’s duel challenge to Kagura. Kagura is to go alone to an uninhabited island, Beast Footprint.
She says she's alone, but I clearly see Kave with her...
Obviously Kagura doesn’t go alone. Kave apparently doesn’t count, Noriyuki has already infiltrated the Juugondou, and Mitogawa Kazuhiro and Shizuru are hovering overhead readying an air strike. At the critical moment, everyone springs into action and with some very impressive teamwork and coordination Kagura is able to free Kensuke and Mine Fujiko while taking Setsuna hostage.
Kave gets a superhero cape now?
Unfortunately, Setsuna foresaw this scenario unfolding, and the captured Setsuna is actually a fake made up of the Count’s bat-shikigame. The real Setsuna steps out and declares it’s time for the final game to begin.
Holy stunt double, Batman!
It’s interesting that Setsuna plans to duel Kagura’s group right before the Agency heads show up on the island. This chapter featured more tightly-knit teamwork, which is one thing I like about Ga-Rei. Usually everyone just splits up for their own 3 chapters of one-on-one fighting. I also like the feeling that Setsuna has some complicated master plan and isn’t just falling into standard villain traps.
