After the concert, Yuu comes across Zhiend's blind vocalist, Sara Shane (or Sala Shane), who treats him to dinner and hears about his recent loss. Believing it might help Kazuki, Yuu decides to take Sara to meet him, hearing from her about the troubles she faced in her career before she went blind. When they arrive, Sara uses her song Fallin to calm Kazuki down from his rage, allowing him to recognize others once again. After seeing Sara off, Yuu is thanked by Nao for improving Kazuki's condition. She then becomes curious as to why he feels so nostalgic over Zhiend's music.
EP 09The World Is Not in HereWhile attending the Zhiend concert with Nao, Yuu feels a familiar sensation upon hearing what is supposed to be a brand new song, suddenly causing him to have a sudden flashback. In these memories, Yuu and Ayumu are living together in a facility, where they are monitored for their abilities. When Ayumi's collapse ability caused damage to the facility, a researcher helped Yuu escape and use his true ability, "plunder", to borrow the abilities of other users and reach his brother, Shunsuke, who uses a time-leap ability to change the world. After Yuu regains consciousness in the present, aware that he has a brother, he and Nao are approached by Kumagami, who takes them to a hidden facility to meet with Shunsuke and hear his story.
EP 10LootingShunsuke explains what happened after time-leaping into the past three years. After explaining his situation to Kumagami and joining up with his allies, Shunsuke began trying to think of a way to keep them safe from the facility. As Shunsuke time-leaped multiple times in order to find an answer, his vision growing weaker with each leap, he eventually came upon the idea to found a school specifically for ability users. Following his final leap, which left him blind and thus unable to use his ability further, Shunsuke managed to buy out an educational facility before arranging for Yuu and Ayumi to have their memories of him erased so he can work behind the scenes. After Shunsuke finishes explanation, Yuu loots his time-leap ability and returns to the day before Ayumi died. Informing Nao of the situation, Yuu takes Ayumi's collapse ability away from her, before she and Nao use their abilities scare off Konishi so she can't bring harm to Ayumi. With Ayumi finally safe, she and Yuu regroup with Kumagami, who takes them to see Shunsuke.
EP 11CharlotteAfter being filled in on the situation, Shunsuke urges Yuu to stay with Ayumi at his research facility until his abilities disappear, as they put him at risk of being targeted. There, he learns that special abilities are the result of inhaling particles spread by a short-period comet called Charlotte. Later, Kumagami's aide Furuki is threatened into handing him over to a terrorist group, who force him into telling them everything he knows about ability users. Using this information, the terrorists kidnap Nao and hold her, Kumagami, and Furuki's family hostage in exchange for Yuu. Learning of this, Yuu goes to rescue them. Upon meeting up with the terrorists and ensuring the safety of Furuki's family, Yuu is attacked by another ability user, who slashes his eye, preventing him from time traveling. The pain of the wound triggers his collapse ability, which destroys the building. Although Yuu uses his telekinesis to protect himself and the other ability user, Kumagami is impaled after protecting Nao from the wreckage and dies as a result, devastating Shunsuke.
EP 12PromiseTwo days after the incident, Yuu wakes up in the hospital and learns of Kumagami's death. As Yuu's friends come to visit him during his rehabilitation, he has a discussion with Misa about life and death, encouraging her to visit her parents while she still has a chance. She gets this opportunity when Yusa hosts a food report on their parents' restaurant, allowing Misa to express her appreciation to them, which in turn gives Yuu a better appreciation of Ayumi's cooking. Later, as Yuu becomes determined to help Shunsuke, who is still in turmoil over Kumagami's death, Nao suggests that he could protect all of the ability users around the world by simply stealing their abilities. Despite the risk of taking on so many powers, Yuu accepts and then confesses his feelings to Nao, who tells him she will be waiting until he succeeds, before taking her ability. After informing Shunsuke of his mission, Yuu prepares to go overseas to find someone with a power similar to Kumagami's to track down other ability users. He takes the abilities of Jōjirō, Yusa, and Misa, the latter of whom leaves behind a letter for Yusa expressing how much fun she had. Before Yuu leaves, Nao hands him some flash cards while he gives back her MP3 player as a vow that he will come back from his journey alive.
EP 13Memories to ComeBeginning his journey in South Africa, Yuu manages to find an ability for seeking out other users and slowly starts looting abilities from each esper he meets, earning him a reputation as the One-Eyed Grim Reaper. Later, whilst infiltrating a facility using ability users as soldiers, he further gains the ability to detect those who haven't awakened their abilities yet, using an illness power to force them to awaken so he can loot them. As his journey continues across many other countries, the burden of taking on so many abilities start to take their toll on Yuu as he struggles to keep them under control, soon becoming afraid of what he might do unconsciously while sleeping. He soon starts losing his memories and sense of self under the stress on his brain, the only thing tying him to his humanity being the flash cards Nao gave him. Ending his journey in Beijing, Yuu is attacked by a man with a crossbow, receiving heavy injuries before taking the final user's ability and being recovered by Shunsuke. Awakening at hospital back in Japan, Yuu is left with no memories of who Nao is, but she is nonetheless grateful that he kept hold of his flash cards all this time. With no abilities to cause them worry, Yuu, Nao, and the others look forward to the memories they'll make from now on.About This Anime
