While Maka and the other meisters and weapons are having fun playing basketball, Shinigami summons all the Death Scythes to Death City. Three of the eight Death Scythes, Justin, Azusa and Marie, join forces with Death Scythe (Spirit). Death Scythe is afraid this might mean that he will end up being demoted, but Shinigami orders him to be his weapon, Marie to be Stein's so she can restrain his insanity, and Azusa will take over Europe while searching for the escaped Asura. Justin is to stay on standby. Meanwhile, Maka's team has lost the basketball game, and as a punishment, she must go shopping with her dad, to Death Scythe's joy. At the end, Crona is in the guest rooms at Shibusen wondering what to do.
