A brief recap of Date A Live V episode 7
Date A Live V episode 7 shows Ratatoskr retrieving Artemisia, and former JSDF AST members join Fraxinus. Kotori commands MARIA to clear the DEM ships and attack Mio. Nia analyzes Mio’s light particles, calling them the ‘instant death beam,’ and discovers an ‘other world’ around Mio.
Despite the risks, they move closer to investigate, finding Mio fighting Tohka and Tobiichi inside this ‘other world,’ and the other spirits have fallen. Kotori fires Gungnir at Mio while Tohka and Tobiichi attack her, but she effortlessly defeats them. Fraxinus falls as they enter the ‘other world.’
Kotori confronts Mio, who admits she loves the spirits and considers Kotori, her best friend but would consume her to bring Shin back. Mio then steals Kotori’s Sephira.
The narrative then shifts to Shido’s showdown with Westcott and Nibelcole. Shido’s flying-kiss attack fails as Nibelcole hides her eyes. Shido disguises himself as Nibelcole to attack Westcott, who predicted it with Beelzebub. Nibelcole immobilizes Shido. Westcott reveals the true identity of the real Magi and explains his goals.
Miku and Natsumi save Shido from Westcott’s final blow. With their help, Shido attacks Westcott, who blocks the strike while mocking him. Shido then launches an unpredictable attack that hits Westcott, locking Beelzebub’s powers, but he refuses to kill him.
The episode concludes with Mio eliminating Westcott, Miku, and Natsumi, taking Shido into her world, informing him that she has acquired all the Sephira and they can finally be together forever.
