Karakuri Circus

Narumi wakes up in a hospital with many questions, including what exactly happened to him after apparently perishing in an explosion; when his wounds heal mysteriously, he searches for answers.

Narumi vows to destroy the Midnight Circus' disease-spreading automata to stop it from endangering sick children; Masaru and Shirogane meet Vilma.

Nakamachi Circus gets ready to open in Izu and debut a new knife-throwing act; Narumi, Guy and Lucille battle automata on a plane en route to Shanghai.

The members of Nakamachi Circus rescue the injured Guy, who turns out to be Shirogane's marionette teacher. This unexpected reunion leads Shirogane to open up about her past to Masaru, who in turn sets out alone on a journey to solve the mysteries surrounding his own upbringing. Narumi also reunites with a figure from his past as he and Lucille meet his old martial arts master, Liang, in China.

Liang reveals the story of two alchemist brothers whose love for the same woman created the first spark for the conflict now raging across the world.

Narumi finds Fatima in the Sahara as shiroganes and automata gather for a massive confrontation.
