Back to Ningenkai, Yusuke, Kuwabara — carrying an unconscious Hiei on his back —, Kurama and Koenma leave the Irima cave. Their friends — Yanagisawa, Kaitou, Shizuru, Botan, Keiko, Mitarai and Genkai — have been anxiously waiting for them at the entrance, and are happy to see them return safely. They have trouble recognizing the boy with strange tattoos and long brown hair, until Keiko screams Yusuke's name and fling herself into his arms.

The Tokubetsu Boueitai show up as well, and Ootake warns Koenma that Enma-daiou won't forgive him for interfering with his orders to execute Urameshi and for allowing him to resurrect as a demon. Koenma doesn't seem worried or regretful, though, and says he made his choice knowing of the consequences.

Yusuke's ki burns around him as he defends Koenma and challenges the Boueitai to raise a finger against the Prince of Reikai. Visibly frightened at Urameshi's power, Ootake declares that their mission — sealing the passage to Makai — was complete, and gives his subordinates the order to withdraw. One by one, the Boueitai rise to the sky as energy bolts, and disappear.

Yusuke stretches his arms, tired. "It's finally over. Come on, guys, let's go home."

"I feel like we've been fighting for a whole year..." Kuwabara sighs.

"Where have I heard this before?" asks Yusuke. [Morgan's note: Kuwabara said exactly the same in episode 066, after the end of the Dark Tournament.]

In another part of the forest, Hagiri talks to Kamiya, who managed to escape from prison. They notice the peaceful silence around them. "They're all gone," says Hagiri. "The demons, even the insects."

"So Sensui was defeated?" asks Kamiya.

"Yes." The wound in Sniper's chest has healed, treated by Doctor's powers.

"I didn't think there'd be someone stronger than Sensui," says Kamiya. "But still I had the feeling we wouldn't win."

"At least we had some fun," Sniper points out.

"It never changes," Doctor agrees. "At some point the dream must end."

They both laugh. Hagiri says he will go back to his old life, back to school. Kamiya says he is going to disappear, wandering through the mist. Hagiri watches as Doctor does just that.

We find Yusuke lying on the lawn under a tree at Sarayashiki School, and we hear his voice saying that Kurama had cut his hair and that the tattoos had vanished the morning after they emerged from Irima cave. His life was back to the old routine.

Kuwabara approaches, scolding him for skipping classes. When Yusuke looks away without offering him any reply, he simply sits beside his friend, deciding to enjoy the sunny, tranquil day as well.

"Oh, I forgot to tell you," says Kuwabara. "I got a letter from Mitarai. He and Amanuma went back to school." He admits he is worried about them, since the unhappiness in their lives made them vulnerable to Sensui's influence.

A week later, we find Amanuma in a place called Game Center, where a handful of kids are at awe of his skills at playing games. As they walk out later, they talk about how annoying parents can be, and Amanuma realizes those kids aren't that dissimilar to himself.

Happy to be alive — thanks to Koenma's Mafuukan —, he invites his new friends to play games at his place. The narrator's voice inform us, "Tsukihito Amanuma, 11 years old, blood-type B, born in November 7, lives with his parents and goes to private school; thanks to the games, he's made new friends and lives now a normal life."

As the kids run to Amanuma's place, they obliviously pass by a tall man whose face we have never seen before. He stops next a "wanted" poster of Kamiya and laughs. The policeman standing beside the poster asks if he recognizes that criminal.

"No," the man chuckles. "He just reminds me of someone I used to know." The man walks away, and the narrator says, "Minoru Kamiya, 29 years old, blood-type AB, born in August 20, lives alone, using his powers to constantly change his appearance and stay out of prison; also uses his powers to perform surgeries, having founded an institution called Miraculous Institute to help hundreds of poor, sick people."

Near a river, under a bridge, we find Hagiri and his sister. She finds a dead dog whose body is pierced by arrows.

"I can't understand how people can be so cruel," she tells her brother. "When one is angry and has a weapon, the first impulse is to make use of it to hurt those who are weaker. I couldn't be like this. Something always holds me back at the last moment. I feel horrible knowing how much the other person will be hurt. Sometimes I envy those who can be impulsive, but still I hate those who are mean to defenseless creatures."

She touches the dog's body and extracts the memory of its last moments. Then she touches Sniper's forehead, so he can see the faces of the three teenagers that killed the dog. He promises to go after them.

Narrator: "Kaname Hagiri, 17 years old, blood-type O, born in December 3, lives with his parents and sister; he vanished after graduating from high school."

In another school, we find Mitarai talking to a teacher about his future, the schools he is sending applications to, his grades... The teacher says Mitarai is looking better now, happier, and asks if something has happened. The boy smiles and says that a lot has happened, and that he learned much from it.

Narrator: "Kyoshi Mitarai, 14 years old, blood-type A, born in February 10, lives with his parents and sister; he managed to graduate."

Genkai, Yusuke and Kuwabara say goodbye to Kido, Kaitou and Yanagisawa. Kido apologizes for not being there at the end of the Sensui crisis — he was wounded by Doctor and took time to recover.

Genkai tells the three boys to be responsible with his powers. "The more you use them, the more they'll push people away from you. Take care." The narrator informs us that they all went back to school and followed Genkai's advice, never using their powers again.

Hiei and Kurama meet in a wood. The former is holding the Dark Chapter.

Kurama says he would like to return the tape to Reikai. "If you want so badly to go back to Makai, why don't we make a deal?" he asks Hiei. "Give me the tape."

Hiei snorts and shatters the Dark Chapter with his katana. "This material is useless."

In the limbo, Itsuki holds Sensui's dead body close. "It's so silent here. When you were Shinobu, you must have suffered so much. But you never let it show. That used to upset me..."

Itsuki looks down at Sensui and smiles, tightening his arms around him. "I won't speak anymore. All I want is for you to rest in peace. No one will ever disturb us here, Shinobu."

Narrator: "Shinobu Sensui, former Reikai Tantei, 26 years old, blood-type A, born in June 6. Itsuki, origins unknown. No one knows what happened to them."

At Reikai, Ootake reports to Enma-daiou, saying that although Koenma disobeyed his father's orders, he also helped sealing the passage to Makai.

"He doesn't plan to return to Reikai," says Enma. "He is challenging me. I've always considered him a child, but he's grown much. I'll deal with his punishment myself."

At Sarayashiki School, Kuwabara is looking for Yusuke, who borrowed his math book. Keiko suggests searching for him on the roof.

Yusuke is indeed there, but doesn't answer when Kuwabara calls. Not seeing his friend anywhere, Kuwabara goes back downstairs, wondering if Keiko would let him borrow her book.

Yusuke is deep in thoughts, and bored. He's not happy that his life is back to normal. He remembers the final fight with Sensui, when an alien entity manipulated him and fought for him. "I won't accept this. That should have been my fight!"
