Episode 10, titled Liberation, opened with Aqua confronting Taiki Himekawa and revealing that they were blood-related, sharing the same father.

Taiki invited Aqua to his apartment, where he explained that their father is Seijuro Uehara, a struggling actor notorious for having relationships with talents. Taiki’s mother, Airi Himekawa, who had been a lead actress in a morning drama, revealed that their father had passed away five years earlier in a lover’s suicide.

Aqua was shocked by this revelation, as it shattered his motivation to seek revenge for his mother’s death. After spending the night at Taiki’s, Aqua began to accept that his quest to find Ai’s killer was over and that he could now live a life free from the burden of revenge.

Memcho shared with Ruby and Kana Arima that their YouTube channel had reached 20,000 subscribers. However, Ruby and Kana remained unimpressed. Memcho explained the significance of this milestone, pointing out that there were 300,000 channels in Japan alone, and 75 percent had fewer than 1,000 subscribers.

Channels with 10,000 to 50,000 subscribers were already making decent money; only the top 0.1 percent of creators earned significant income. Memcho stressed they were on the path to success in the competitive YouTube landscape.

To attract more subscribers, Memcho suggested creating room tour videos. Ruby hesitated, worried about taking down her Ai posters, as she never wanted anyone to know she was Ai’s daughter.

Ruby also revealed her motivation for forming B-Komachi: to continue her mother’s dream and reconnect with Goro Amamiya, the doctor who had cared for her when she was still Sarina Tendouji.

After her reincarnation, Ruby searched for Goro but discovered he had gone missing. She hoped that if Goro saw B-Komachi, he would reappear.

With the Tokyo Blade 2.5D stage play nearing its conclusion, B-Komachi agreed to shoot a music video for a new song in Miyazaki. Their manager, Miyako Saito, had contacted renowned composer Himura, who had worked on the original B-Komachi songs.

Unfortunately, Himura had been unmotivated to write new material. Ruby sent him an inspirational video, reigniting his passion and prompting him to work on a new B-Komachi song.

As the Tokyo Blade stage play wrapped up, Ruby asked Aqua to accompany them to Miyazaki—a place they both had lived in during their previous lives and hadn’t visited since their reincarnation. Aqua agreed.
