kurumi cames to scene, and when mio is about to come out, kurumi shot herself in hope to kill mio only to fail and kill herself...

dem threat good guys into giving him the sephira rock or they will kill their friends..good spirit go to the saving.

dem use the annoying little girl to shidou...only for kurumi to appear behinf him to snatch the stone from him (Nia feel that she had been ntred)(she shot herself with 8 bullet when mio appeared).

shidou tries to convince mio to not be a bitch, but she decide to be a bitch anyway...shidou tells kurumi his ultimate plan...she let shidou -to taker her to the bed- to kiss her and seal her...before shidou goes after mio he kiss her again (good girl you earned it), she sighed that she let shidou seal her..but it can be helped. shidou goes to mio and hug her and kiss her...dude y'all player...and then see mio and shinji and reine and shidou goes on a date. Tey had a cooking show down..shidou is winner.
apparently one of the reason mio gave so much poer to shidou is because she knew that she can't truly bring shinji back, and since can't die, she want something to kill her

You should try to read instead of skimming through everything you see. What he posted comes from tieda, then his spoiler was posted on 4chan.

I agree that 4chan's spoilers are usually bullshit unless someone like summary anon provides information, on that we agree. I can't speak for everyone but from my experience with other titles Tieda's spoilers are most of the time right, obviously you still can't be 100% sure about them because spoilers can be mixed with the opinion of the poster, same goes for 2ch's spoilers and light novel threads.

I guess we need to wait until more information comes out but so far this volume feels extremely underwhelming IMO.

[Jord]

I bet Mio will be back next volume, as every other character that died before...

[JonasDown!]

*mod snip*

You know that those 3 angels aren't that weak right? Just in volume 18, it only took the weakest of them to kill almost everyone.

[Mizo]

we will never see shido in spirit form ....
and most likely next volume will be shido dating tohka and sealing .....
Mio/Reine altho u died i always remember u T_T

edit :

Spoiler for vol 19:

Apparently, Westcott faked his death earlier from Kurumi's assassination attempt. He manages to steal a good portion Mio and the Spirits powers. The end of chapter 4 is him declaring that they are witnessing the birth of the second Spirit of Origin.

Westcott gets a new Demon King called <ケメテイエル>, which is kinda like a evil version of <Ain>.

Mio prepares to use Ain to protect Shido, while Westcott uses <ケメテイエル>

A huge explosion occurs We don't really get to see what happens to Westcott, but Mio begins to fade away afterwards.

In her dying moments she apologies for everything that she's done and acknowledge that deep down she knew Shido wasn't Shin, and was at best her attempts to recreate what she saw in Shin. Then, she sees a faint silhouette welcoming her to the afterlife. Three guess on who.

Last chapter, has Shido mourn over Mio's passing while looking back to the stuffed bear she left behind. Mio could have easily used her powers to fix the bear, but didn't because she cherished it too much to do that. But then, Shido sees that Mio also left behind a Sephira crystal with a rainbow glow.

As his hand reaches out to grab it, someone else beats him to it.

"......It's too bad, but I'll be taking this."

Tohka said so as she pressed Mio's sephira crystal into her own chest.

"Tohka, what?"

At the moment, Shidou said that.

── The world was surrounded by light.

So Mio’s end came pretty much how I predicted, down to who killed her, though at least she went down fighting and had peace in the end.

Good god, I love Kurumi’s merged outfit there almost more than her normal dress.

It really is a shame that they don’t illustrate any of the sealing kisses. We don’t get to see the Kurumi kiss. T.T

Unless those spoilers leave out something crucial from that scene, I don’t see how that last scene means Tohka is the last boss. Does it say anywhere that the next volume is even the final one? I can think of some very good reasons Tohka would take the stone, first and foremost being to stop Shido from fighting Westcott, protecting him from any effects of the crystal, etc. Her turning into a bad guy would be totally out of left field and would need some serious explaining.

dude the way she said it
"......It's too bad, but I'll be taking this."
this definitely not normal tohka it's either her inverse form here or something is up cuz the spoilers stated before reine go to date shido she asked if she like shido or no which reine answered by yes but reine felt something off with tohka , i hope we get more details but well we need to wait for CN raws to get out 1st ...and tbh i never expected such an asspull as this ....spirits starting taking and giving sephira like some lemons.... out of no where ... westcott able to absorb spirits power i mean cmon man...this prove me that koushi can write down anything as long as it serve tohka .....i wouldn't be surprised by anything els next vol..it's like i watched eva all over again.................jesus. ( i really hope Reine comeback :/ she's shido's mother after all)

[amtro]

Spoiler for :

So Reine dies?

[Seeker213]

Had some thoughts that this wouldn't be the final volume, I even figured that the final challenge would be related to the Spirits, either by Mio being racked by guilt, or all ther powers going haywire at once, not Tohka presumably having something wrong with her. Just thought that it would be after a volume detailing the final battle against Westcott, with this one setting it up

I can see Tohka saying my it the way she did without being a bad guy. Let’s wait until next volume before we start throwing the word “asspull.”
The fact that Westcott could take any of Nia’s powers in the first place shows that power stealing/sharing was always possible. The only question is why we never saw it before which is actually answered quite easily: Most of the girls have been sealed since their respective arcs, so there was never really a chance for them to do it before.
And since Westcott taking spirit powers was already a thing, doing it again is certainly not an asspull.

And so they use good guy Nibelcolle to sneak in a Maria sorta-cameo.

[devilo96]

Start with tohka..end with tohka.....

That’s usually how it works with the main hero/heroine. We all knew it would turn out this way in one form or another; Tachibana has been making that clear since day one.

[Mizo]

well from the translator just confirmed that

Spoiler for death:

Yeah, Westcott also died from the exchange. As he's dying, Ellen and Woodman appear by his side. His last thoughts are remembering how he felt when his home was burned, how he felt at his mother's funeral, and how simple he feels now that he is dying

[dark44]

Shido wasn't Shin how is that ?

[Mizo]

well seems when shinji died his soul already went to the after life so shido only have his memories.....shido himself is born as new life from Mio ...

someone who finally read vol 19 posted a summary in reddit :

Spoiler for vol 19:

Shidou comes back from the future and asks Reine out for a date. She agrees to, of course.

Shidou then, through Maria, so that Reine doesn't find out, tells Kotori about what happens during the fight (all the spirits die, etc.)

Both of them then decide to tell the other spirits, but turns out Origami has most of Shidou's clothes bugged with listening devices, so they already know.

Shidou also alerts Kurumi to the fact that she has Mio INSIDE OF HER.

The date with Reine is to a traditional Japanese Onsen Hotel. The Spirits are running the multiple choice date options with the rest of the crew.

First thing they do is go into the open roof bath together. Shidou plans for them to wear swimsuits, but Reine isn't having any of that and goes in naked. Shidou then reciprocates. They talk about Reine's past quite a bit.

Shidou then takes Reine to the beach where Shinji took Mio thirty years ago. He asks Reine to "choose him", and kisses her with her affection levels high enough to seal her.

This fails. Turns out Shidou isn't powerful enough, and all this did was let Mio get Shidou's memories of the future. Then DEM shows up because Wescott found out about the time shenanigans with Beelzebub. Then Kurumi shows up.

Kurumi fights with Reine, but eventually Mio pops out of her chest like last time. Then Mio fuses with Reine, and she goes off to fight DEM.

However, this time, Wescott has decided to throw secrecy out the window and takes a bunch of the spirits friends hostage, like the AST, AiMaiMii, among others. He demands that they give up Shidou and all the Sephira.

Of course, our heroes are having none of it, so Wescott orders the Bandersnatches to kill off some people. Mukuro teleports a bunch of spirits around to save everyone.

Of course, while the spirits are away, Elen, Artemesia and Isaac attack the Fraxinus directly. Shidou, Kotori, and Mana are forced to confront them.

The battle doesn't go too well with all the Nicolbels flying around, but right when Shidou is about to die, Kurumi comes out of nowhere and stabs Wescott in the chest, ripping out his Sephira. Turns out, she transferred her Sephira and personality to one of her clones before Mio killed her.

Kurumi takes in the Sephira, but before anyone can do anything, Mio comes back and is about the execute Plan:Kill Everyone and Get Back Shinji.

Kurumi KISSES SHIDOU and get sealed. Shidou now has all the Sephira. He uses the power of all the angels to approach Mio and kisses her.

Shidou and Mio get enveloped in a giant cocoon of light. Meanwhile, Kurumi decides to use Rasiel, because she has that now, to figure out what the hell is going on.

Inside the cocoon is the same beach, only in Summer. Shidou and Shinji get split into separate beings, and so do Mio and Reine. They play on the beach, have a cooking contest, and eat shaved ice togther.

Shidou turns out to have gotten Mio's memories from the kiss as well. He asks if, even if Mio's plan works out, if the resulting being would even be Shinji. He claims even the Shinji at the beach isn't really even Shinji. Shidou posits that what Mio really wanted was a being that could kill her so that she could be reunited with Shinji. Mio agrees, but Shidou says that instead of killing her, he's going to make her fall in love with him over Shinji.

The happy fun time is interrupted by Team DEM, who set up a magic ritual: the ritual that created Mio in the first place. Wescott set himself up as the center so that he will become a primal spirit, like Mio. The reason he can do this is that he can hijack Mio's power while Shidou was keeping her distracted.

Mio and Shidou come out to confront Wescott, but it's too late: Wescott summons Belial, the Demon verson of Ain Soph and begins to rewrite the world.

Mio gives a power up to the spirits and has them wants them to make a path to Wescott so Shidou can hit him with ALL THEIR POWERS COMBINED.

Wescott almost kills Origami and Mana with the Demon version of Ain Soph Aur, but Nia comes and saves the day with her own version of Nicolbels, which are being piloted by Maria.

Shidou manages to falcon punch Wescott with everyone's power, but before Wescott loses full control, he uses the demon version of Ain to try and take everyone with him.

Mio uses Ain to cancel out the attack, but ends up being erased in the aftermath. Her final words to Shidou are: "You really are wonderful. I love you. But not as much as Shin." Mio dies, but a vision of Shin comes out to greet her as she disappears.

Wescott's been almost completely obliterated, but is alive enough to say goodbye to Ellicot and Elen. He dies in absolute ecstasy from the devastated expressions from the two.

Mio's Sephira appears, with Reine's teddy bear on it. Then Tohka says "Sorry, but I'm taking this", and stuffs in her chest. End Novel.

idk about you guys , but after Mio / Reine died seems to me i lost the reason why i was following DAL....and shido for god sake suffering suffering ....give a man a break....tbh i cried in this volume shido lost Rinne now Mio /reine at ffs let him have his mother beside him... this volume make it sound clear that once someone is ded is DED unless time travel fix all this mess ...anyone got any info about the afterward ? and it's pretty much confirmed next vol cover will be tohka in her new astral dress ...

[Mirable]

^I think this should be final volume.

[Dark Rose Princess]

Kabbalah explanations:

Qemetial (corresponding to Ain Soph Aur), Belial (corresponding to Ain Soph), and Athiel (corresponding to Ain) are the 'Shrouds of Darkness', that is, the Inverse Negative Veils. Colour me amazed Tachibana knew enough about them.

[tuckersister]

Origami nearly got her ass handed to her by Westscott. I kind of knew she would have a tough time fighting him. At least she better than the fight with Mio.

I really thought this would be the last volume. I did expect Mio to die after she was redeemed. Westscott FINALLY died after he got what wanted. However I feel pity for him after what lead to him becoming what he is now. I did not know that Reine would died. She's one of my favorites. I like that Reine brought up the conversation about "Shidou's mom". However in the end, "mom sacrificed herself to protect her son" is satisfying to me.

It seems AST and other "certain" characters appear again. I wonder what's their reaction (AST already know their identity before hand).

What is utterly surprising is the ending? Why would Tohka do such a thing?
