What Is The Story Of Date A Live?
A phenomenon known as a spatial quake occurs in Eurasia, resulting in the death of 150 million. These spatial quakes occur regularly for the next 30 years around the world. Shido Itsuka, a high-school student, comes across a strange girl at the site of one of the quakes. Kotori, Shido’s sister, tells him that the girl he found is a spirit from another dimension, and these spirits are responsible for these quakes. Kotori also reveals that she is the commander of an airship known as Fraxinus.
Shido is approached by a company called Ratatoskr to seal the spirits’ powers using his mysterious abilities. But, the task is not as easy as it sounds. For him to seal the spirit, he should get the spirit to fall in love with him and kiss him. On his quest, Shido and his comrades are opposed by Sir Isaac Ray Pelham Westcott, who wants to use these spirits’ powers for his secretive use. Aided by his friends, Shido successfully starts sealing spirits away. This led to more competition among the spirits themselves to grab his attention.
Date A Live IV Episode 8 Recap
Kotori and the crew of the Ratatoskr regain some of their memory. They remember Shido and his date with Tohka and Mukuro. Origami suggests that the crew should go to Tengu tower, a place where Mukuro had once visited. Due to this, Mukuro feels sick. Seeing Mukuro down, Tohka attempts to kiss Shido. Mukuro notices Tohka, and a battle ensues between her and Tohka. With Mukuro and Tohka battling it out, Origami combines the Brunhild armor and the spirit power to stop Tohka. Shido, on the other hand, tries to convince the Spirits to help him save the planet.
In the flashbacks, Mukuro remembers that she used to have a foster sister named Asashi. One day she made everyone forget about Asashi, which led to her family banishing her. Saddened by this, Shido comforts her and then seals her. Tohka, on the other hand, allows Shido to kiss her. This results in Tohka gaining her original memories back. Some days later, Shido returns to Raizen with the spirits. There he finds Kurumi waiting for them.
