Marvel: The Tokyo Avengers

Chapter 38: EPISODE 38: “Unthreaded”



🔺 "To fight a god, you must first fight your reflection."

❗ Previously on Tokyo Avengers:

The Scarlet Tower collapsed… upwards.

Blood Seraphim completed his ritual, becoming a citywide curse — the "Scarlet Sky."

Now Tokyo bleeds red threads. Buildings distort. Citizens obey invisible rhythms.

The Avengers have been scattered — each trapped in a distorted version of their own past, twisted by the Scarlet Sky.

[Scene 1 – Nekoburst: No More Nine Lives]

Nekoburst slams into the side of a haunted train car drifting through a crimson rail line.

She fights herself — or something pretending to be.

YOUNG NEKO (darkly):

"Why did you abandon me, Rika? Why did claws feel better than care?"

Nekoburst fights fast — teleporting in bursts, slicing through illusions — but this younger version matches her step-for-step, taunting her.

NEKOBURST (snarling):

"Because this world doesn't pet strays — it puts them down."

She heel-drops her younger self straight through the train roof, then collapses, panting.

Suddenly — a voice crackles through a floating speaker-thread:

"Avenger Signature Detected. One Unthreaded Soul Remaining."

The speaker implodes.

[Scene 2 – Onmyo Flare vs. the Faceless Heir]

Renji faces a doppelganger wielding his exact spell techniques — faster, colder, perfect.

"You held back for years. You thought grief was sacred.

I sharpened it into something useful."

They clash in a flurry of sigils and blade strikes.

Renji is overwhelmed, barely holding the spell-guard line.

He's forced to use a forbidden sigil: Echo Burn: Mirror Split — slicing off part of his own spirit to reflect the attack.

ONMYO FLARE (gritting his teeth):

"You're not my heir. You're my fear."

His blades cross, severing the phantom. It explodes into paper.

But now Renji's arm trembles — the spell cost his ability to cast with both hands for the next day.

[Scene 3 – Starwave's Stage of Lies]

Starwave performs in front of a sea of faceless fans, all chanting:

"Encore. Encore. Encore."

She turns, panting, heels cracked.

Another clone walks on stage — limping, bleeding, still singing.

"If you're a hero... why are you still trying to impress them?"

Starwave's eyes harden.

She drops the mic.

Raises her heel.

And stomps it — shattering the stage's sigil base.

STARWAVE (out of breath):

"They'll cheer when I save them.

Not when I bleed for their applause."

[Scene 4 – Kuro Ōkami in the Shrine of Mirrors]

Kuro faces the beast inside — literally.

A moonlit wolf-form towers over him, eyes glowing, speaking in his voice.

"You don't deserve this name. You never howled for peace.

Only for survival."

Kuro smiles — bitter.

"Good. Then I won't ask for peace now either."

He lunges, full speed, claws glowing — Wolf Claw Rush: Crescent Descent.

He splits the wolf in two. The moon above shatters.

Kuro walks out, blood on his arms, body trembling.

"Now howl back."

[Scene 5 – Scarlet Onna's Threadless World]

Sayo finds herself in a version of Tokyo with no thread. No sigils. No magic.

She's powerless. Alone.

Her mother's voice echoes faintly:

"Power is not in the thread, Sayo.

It's in the hand that chooses where to cut."

She kneels. Takes one of her hairpins.

And draws a manual sigil — with blood from her palm.

The air shimmers — she reactivates a single binding thread — enough to bring her team's signatures back online.

"Unthreaded… not undone."

[Scene 6 – The Reconnection]

A red glyph appears in the skies over Tokyo — a pulse from Scarlet Onna's homemade thread spell.

It signals:

"TOKYO AVENGERS — LOCKED IN. REFORM."

Each member sees it.

Each whispers:

"I'm still here."

[Final Scene – In the Sky Above Tokyo]

Blood Seraphim now exists as a giant spectral figure, stretching across the sky — almost invisible unless the moonlight hits just right.

He watches them regroup.

BLOOD SERAPHIM (to himself):

"So you survived the Unthreading.

Then let's begin the new Tokyo —

With a wedding made from war."
