Yusuke woke up in cold sweat, snapping out of his dream from getting up on the floor before ten seconds was up. He noticed a demon nurse looking at him curiously before smiling and standing straight again.

"I guess you're feeling better." The nurse said to him and walked towards the door, only to be startled the groups of friends that came to visit him, including the female fire demon.

"How're ya feelin' kid?" Chu asked,

"Not sure." Yusuke said unsurely after checking himself and seeing that he was patched up,

"About time you woke up." Chu said,

"What the hell's going on, is this a dream?" He asked,

"Dream it's not. You were knocked down and out Yusuke, that's the truth." Jin said while having an arm wrapped around Homura's waist,

"Your loss was a week ago." Toya said

"You've been asleep ever since." Homura added,

"I lost?" Yusuke asked,

"We thought you'd both crash but Yomi managed to stay up." Suzuki said while having Shishi on his right shoulder,

"I think hearing his runt scream is what saved him." Chu said,

Yusuke remembered and smiled in admitting his loss ended up satisfied. "That's fine." He said,

"Too Ra Loo! T'was the best fight I'll ever see!" Jin said,

"Your battle with Yomi changed everything. How everyone fought." Suzuki said,

"He's right. It was fun going out in full." Homura said,

"It defines ripper." Chu said,

"So where are we now in the tournament?" Yusuke asked, "Is it the semifinals yet?"

Kurama and Ranumi came in the room hearing Yusuke's question.

"No, Yusuke. The tournament is over." Kurama told him,

"What?!" Yusuke exclaimed in disbelief,

"It's true." Ranumi confirmed to him. "The way you fought with Yomi and battling at your full strength, that's how everyone fought at the rest of their rounds in the tournament."

"Water Lily's right, Raizen Jr." Homura said to Yusuke, "Usually it would take hours because they're saving their strength for the end. Why it took like weeks to finish some of the rounds." She explained,

"Anyways, we came to see if you would want to know who's the new King." Ranumi said to Yusuke. "I believe it's someone you recently know, Yusuke."

"Oh sure." Yusuke said to her as Kurama helped him up and guided him through the hallway towards the stage of the tournament building.

Upon arriving there, Yusuke immediately recognized the demon who is standing next to the announcer.

"Well the fights have been long, the fights have been tough! But as all great things do, this rock has come to an end." Koto announce. "And so I present to you the winner of this tournament and our new soul ruler of the demon world, ENKI!!!"
