In 1986, as Otoya makes the finishing touches on the "Ultimate Violin", Yuri runs off into Jiro, who learns of the man's relation to Maya and sees him, only to be shut out by him. Once he gives it a first play for Maya, after giving it his deepest desire to preserve all music for all time, Otoya christens his creation the Bloody Rose. In 2008, Wataru attempts to repair the Bloody Rose while Mio asks Maya to release her from being Queen, only to be told that it is the power of the Queen that determines that. While this all occurred, as the Bishop talks to Taiga about the mysterious Fangire and her relation to Kanda, Nago is relieved of his duties due to his injuries from his fight with the Horsefly Fangire as Kengo taking his place as Ixa's user to Nago's dismay.
