Date A Live V Episode 8 recap
Date A Live V Episode 8 is titled The One Who Pulled the Trigger. The episode begins as Tohka finds herself in a void after her apparent death at Mio's hands. She is accompanied only by her Inverted self. Inverted Tohka explains that they are within Mio, a phenomenon unique to them because they were born when their Sephira gained a will, unlike other Spirits who were once human.
She reveals that Tohka can return to the living world to aid Shido but warns that Mio will kill them again. Undeterred, Tohka accepts the risk of giving Shido one last chance to save everyone. In Mio's dimension, Shido loses his will to fight upon learning of the Spirits' deaths, which nearly allows Mio to erase his memories and resurrect Shinji.
However, Tohka's timely arrival rekindles his will to fight back. Together, they manage to draw blood from Mio, who then activates her second Angel, Ain, to completely destroy Tohka. Shido, refusing to give up hope, continues the battle. Kurumi's last surviving clone arrives to assist Shido in Date A Live V Episode 8, revealing that the original Kurumi sent her to the future before her death.

The clone eventually falls to Mio, but her sacrifice leads Shido to realize Kurumi's true plan. She had always known she couldn't defeat Mio alone, so she sent her clone to help Shido understand that he possesses Zafkiel. Using Zafkiel, Shido travels back in time to the night before the battle with DEM begins.
Relieved to find his friends alive, Shido vows to prevent their deaths. Date A Live V Episode 8 concludes as Shido, determined to change the course of events and protect everyone, asks Reine out on a date.
