Mother

Eventually the entire group of mismatched venturers arrive at the amusement park and descend into the pit - the seven gates are open. A giant tree, the Mekkoju, stands proudly in the centre of the bottom of the pit. Mother appears and reveals her true form. Mamoru falls victim to Mother's hypnotic power, but Ikuko saves him by using her own psychic abilities to resist Mother's hold. Soji sees Mother as his murdered flatmate, Ryuko. Shu sees Mother as his lost childhood friend, Kanae, and is lost forever in Mother's grip. Only Akiko and Ikuko can see Mother for what she is - a monster.

Yorito and Takeaki are fortunately beyond Mother's reach, but the Siren threatens to overwhelm them. Ichiko hovers over the lifeless body of Shigeru, dazed and covered in blood - was she capable of his murder? Mother, now free, gives birth to hundreds of Yamirei - ravenous albino slugs who pursue the helpless party back up to the surface. Just as Ikuko and Mamoru are about to perish, the Shiryos (spirits that animate the Shibito) come pouring down into the abyss and clash violently with the Yamirei. The natural enemies fight to the death, providing the humans with an opportunity to escape.

Mother scales the tower in an attempt to reach the other reality. The tower crumbles as reality begins to fracture and revert back into the chaos of nothingness. Ichiko plummets into the ocean and Mamoru and Ikuko are sucked into Mother's plane of existence, an aquatic, crimson dimension. Akiko/Kanae's spirit appears and implores for Shu's forgiveness. Akiko/Kanae suicides by plunging the Annunaki remains (claw) into her stomach, which simultaneously injures Mother. Each member of the party is then inspired to use the Annunaki Remains (Claw) which in turn transform into mystical swords, Annaki Remains (Horn). The humans manage to defeat Mother and a final tsunami cleanses the island. Shu and Kanae are together forever, and reality is restored.
