A brief recap of Date A Live V episode 8

Date A Live V episode 8 begins with Tohka’s consciousness awakening inside Mio after being absorbed. Within this consciousness, Tohka meets a version of herself who explains the difference between her and the other spirits, which helps awaken her consciousness and allows her to rejoin the fight.

The narrative shifts to Mio revealing her plan to Shido: to redo everything and start over from the day he died as Shinji. Mio begins to make Shido forget everything to restart their journey, but Tohka reappears and saves him. Mio reveals the truth about Tohka: unlike other spirits made from humans, with Mio implanting her ten Sephiras inside them, Tohka is a pure spirit whose Sephira somehow gained consciousness.

Mio shares that she and Tohka, as original spirits, lacked names from the start. Mio dodges Tohka’s attack but gets partially hit. Mio then fights Tohka with all her might, stating that Tohka stole some of her and the other spirits’ power while escaping her. Mio incapacitates Tohka, but Shido buffs her. Tohka armors herself with her power and manages to cut Mio, who uses Ein, eliminating Tohka.

She heals herself and proceeds to restore Shido, who struggles in vain. Just as Mio is about to restore Shido, Kurumi intervenes, explaining how she sent her clone into the future. Mio eliminates her, too, but Kurumi makes Shido realize he can use her powers, as they had previously shared a kiss.

The episode concludes with Shido using Zaphkiel to send himself back in time before the fight with DEM begins, reuniting with Tohka and finding a way to stop Mio. The episode ends with Shido asking Reine on a date.
