BanG Dream! Ave Mujica episode 8, titled Belua multorum es capitums., begins with Sakiko and Mutsumi reuniting with Umiri, who proposes reviving Ave Mujica. However, when Sakiko refuses, Mutsumi's Mortis persona feels threatened, fearing her own extinction.

Following this, Taki and Umiri discuss Mujica's potential reformation, while Sakiko and Mutsumi bond over their reunion, reminiscing about their CRYCHIC days and shared memories. During a visit to an old karaoke spot, tensions arise as Mutsumi and Mortis begin to clash when Mutsumi expresses her desire to revive CRYCHIC.

As their internal struggle unfolds, Mortis reveals to Sakiko that while Mutsumi's various personalities were all part of her act, Mutsumi ultimately became the dominant one after connecting with the guitar—leaving Mortis as the only surviving alternate persona. A meeting between Nyamu and Mutsumi's mother further sheds light on Mutsumi's personality disorder.

Episode 8 concludes on an intriguing note as Umiri meets with Mortis and makes a surprising offer—to teach her how to play the guitar, hoping it will pave the way for Mujica's comeback.
