The 24th episode of Tsukimichi: Moonlit Fantasy season 2 continues where the previous one left off, with Sofia Bulga taking on Makoto and Shiki facing off against Lancer. The main focus of the episode is the intense battle between Shiki and Lancer, with Lancer unleashing a barrage of swords from the sky that Shiki skillfully dodges.

Hibiki pleaded with Shiki to remove the weakening mist so that her party could join the battle. Despite Shiki’s initial refusal, she promised to heal Woody if Hibiki could endure until the end. Despite some doubts, Hibiki placed her trust in Shiki, who ultimately dispelled the mist. With the demons looming ahead, Hibiki and her party readied themselves for the fight as Shiki’s confrontation with Lancer commenced.

Shiki responds to Lancer’s use of Shadows of Truth by revealing information about his opponent and mentioning Luto. Lancer attempts to use Shiki as a weapon, but Shiki defends himself and destroys Lancer’s swords. Then, Shiki transforms his staff into a sword named Ascalon, also known as the ‘Dragon Slayer’, and readies himself to attack.

Despite Lancer’s ability to transform soldiers into weapons, Shiki seeks revenge for Makoto by severing his fingers. Shiki easily counters Lancer’s sword-shard attack and strikes him with both Ascalon and a powerful spell. As the curse takes hold, Shiki proceeds to remove Lancer’s left leg.

In episode 24 of Tsukimichi Moonlit Fantasy season 2, Lancer’s desperation leads him to attack Hibiki and her companions, trying to transform them into swords. During the altercation, Mr. Ciri bravely steps in to protect Chiya and gets injured. Shiki expresses gratitude towards Ciri, recognizing that they could have been defeated if Chiya had been turned into Lancer’s weapon.

Despite Sofia being the only one to push him this far, Lancer acknowledges Shiki as an equal opponent and attempts to turn him into his sword. However, Shiki firmly refuses and they engage in a fierce battle. For a moment, Lancer is elated when he lands a blow on Shiki, but his happiness is short-lived. In his true form, Shiki strikes him down from behind, revealing that it is the only way to defeat Lancer.

After healing Woody, Shiki gets ready to depart. When Hibiki questions his identity as the Devil’s Squire, Shiki reminds her of her duty to aid civilians as a hero. He leaves, with Hibiki making a promise to repay him in the future. She also considers the possibility that the Devil’s armor is linked to her own world and that there could be a connection to the Kuzunoha Company.

The main focus of Tsukimichi Moonlit Fantasy season 2 episode 24 is Makoto’s confrontation with Sofia, in which she reflects on Lancer’s demise and clarifies the terms of their agreement. According to their bet, if Sofia perishes first, she will become Makoto’s sword, but if he is the first to fall, she will gain his remaining life force. The outcome of this bet holds great significance for Sofia, as it could potentially grant her a significant increase in power.

She demonstrates her ultimate skill, which vanquished two powerful dragons and grants them access to a dimension known as Prison of Swords, transporting them inside. This realm is linked to Lancer’s sword vault and functions as an arena for executions.

Upon analyzing the capabilities of the space, Makoto promptly realizes that the swords are crucial to Sofia’s survival. Underestimating her abilities as mundane, he obliterates the swords with his arrows and reveals his true identity as an archer. In retaliation, Sofia strikes Makoto, causing damage to his Mana Matter, but he reinforces it and swiftly defeats the swords using his weapon, Azusa.

Sofia expresses her regret over not having the chance to meet Luto, stating that she is not ready to die. Makoto discloses the shocking truth that Luto had been manipulating her as a camera all this time and bids her goodbye, revealing his true identity.

Nevertheless, Sofia unveils her secret weapon, a katana, and successfully deflects Makoto’s arrow. This leads Makoto to ponder if Lancer’s own secret weapon was also a sage, possibly hailing from Japan. Sofia’s evolving theory also brings to mind a goal that Shiki had mentioned before, known as Glont.

With her katana, Sofia strikes Mana Matter, severing their arms. To bring the fight to a swift close, Makoto employs his ultimate arrows and a mana ladder to attack Sofia from a higher vantage point.

During their conversation, Shiki brings up the possibility of Hibiki knowing Makoto, to which Makoto confirms and suggests discussing it further once they return home.
