!Act 13: Tsukino Hyakkiyakou Iirenren

Princess Ichiha lives in the land of Otaki with her dog, Iku (yes, you read that right). When a powerful force invades, the Ayakashi spirits want to help protect the people and nature of Otaki. But even though he's just a dog, Iku has a destiny and a part to play in the unfolding events, as does Koi, who's been dropped in from the human world.

An instance of odd weather affects the boundaries between the normal timeline and {{Youkai}} world, tossing Koi into another world. In the place he's sent to,
Princess Ichiha lives in of the land of Otaki lives with her dog, Iku (yes, you read that right). father, attendant, and dog Iku. When a powerful force invades, begins to invade, threatening the Ayakashi spirits want land they all hold dear, this catches the attention of the ''ayakashi'' spirits, who seek to help protect the land as well. A conflict bigger than themselves brings Koi and Iku into contact with the ''youkai'' that are highly similar to people and nature of Otaki. But even though he's just a dog, Iku has a destiny and a part to play in Koi already knows. The focus characters are the unfolding events, as does four juniors: Kakeru, Koi, who's been dropped in from the human world.
Iku, and Rui, with a particular focus on Koi and Iku.

There were two dance lives: Black and White. Both included their respective group's second season duets, Tsukiani endings, and group songs.



* GodsNeedPrayerBadly: As long as the humans of Otaki respect the shrine, the gods will listen.
* HeroicPetStory: Though he's still a human with ears and a tail, Iku very much acts the part of a dog throughout.
* WeaselMascot: Kamaitachi Arata has a weasel as a shoulder pet.

to:

* BigWhat: When Koi hears from Ichiha that Iku is a regular dog.
--> '''Ichiha''': Iku's a wonderful dog! The dog that I picked up and raised myself!
--> '''Koi''': Haha... ({{Beat}}.) ...A dog?
--> '''Iku''': Huh? Yeah. *Bark!*
--> '''Koi''': WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT!?
* CameBackStrong: [[spoiler:Iku is killed in the climax by Sakanoue and brought back to life by Hajime and Shun. He's significantly stronger as an ''ayakashi'', and he easily brings his enemy to his knees before remembering that ''youkai'' cannot interfere with human events.]]
* ContinuityNod: When Koi and Kakeru are fighting together, Kakeru notes that for a human whose world is supposedly peaceful, Koi is surprisingly good at fighting. Koi responds that it's because he's been tossed into worlds so often with Kakeru that he has no choice but to do so. Their past experiences in Yumemigusa, Kurenai Enishi, or CYBER DIVE CONNECTION seem to have paid off.
* DisneyDeath: [[spoiler:This stage is one of the few where a main character's death is actually portrayed. Iku, having spent most of the stage a dedicated and trustworthy dog, is inevitably killed when he stands in the way of the TragicVillain. He's revived, though, as an Inugami.]]
* EnvironmentalSymbolism: The weather at the beginning of the stage is a sunshower, which is when there is a rain shower while it's still sunny. A sunshower is also called "Foxes' Wedding"[[note]]Kitsune no Yomeiri[[/note]] and the Celestial Foxes remain integral to the story as a whole.
* GodsNeedPrayerBadly: As long as the humans of Otaki respect the their mountain's shrine, the gods will listen.
listen.
* HeroicDog: Iku. He remains faithful to his master, attempting to protect the country he and Ichiha adore, [[spoiler:even before he's revived as an Inugami. Afterwards, he's still just as heroic and still a dog in a way, though he's just more humanoid.]]
* HeroicPetStory: Though A good chunk of the story details Iku's journey as Ichiha's heroic pet. In the humans' eyes, he looks like a regular brown mountain dog the whole time, so he surely qualifies as this.
* InvisibleToNormals: Invisible and inaudible, it seems. The Otaki family members can't hear or see what the ''youkai'' can, and namely, that's human Iku's form and voice. When Koi's chatting with Iku, who looks like nothing more than a dog to them, they realize that Koi is telling the truth about his situation and knowing Iku.
** Sakanoue realizes that Rui is watching his group have a strategy meeting. His companions don't see anyone in the foliage, but it's clear that Sakanoue can see Rui quite clearly. It's explained that he comes from a bloodline known for its perception, so he has better senses than many other humans.
* LookBothWays: Koi walks into the street picking up a ball that rolled in. By the time Kakeru's yelled and Koi's noticed the car lights, it's too late.
* MythologyGag: Shun asks Kai and someone else to do something entertaining for him during one of the few moments he and Hajime are awake. In Kurenai Enishi's Black Chapter, which also took place in the Tsukino Hyakkiyakou universe, Shun would ask the same thing of Kai and You, occasionally requesting others to join them as well.
* ReflexiveResponse: When Hajime approaches Koi with an Iron Claw as
he's still a human sleeping, Koi immediately senses danger to his life and leaps out of his slumber, gasping and panting all the while.
* ResetButton: A [[https://twitter.com/tsukista/status/1599648279784206337?s=20 short story]] released after the play's run was over reveals that when Hajime and Shun returned Koi back to his world, they turned back time briefly to before he was run over.
* ScrewTheRulesImDoingWhatsRight: Hajime demands that Koi not interfere
with ears humans' ordeals, because he is not only a ''youkai'', but also a total outsider to boot. Koi rejects Hajime to help Iku and the Otakis because he'd feel horrible if he were just twiddling his thumbs in a tail, Iku very safe place when the humans are clearly in danger. [[spoiler:By the end, much acts of the part of other Gravi and Procella ''youkai'' have done this, bending the rules and wheedling the responsible members into letting them aid the humans in battle.]]
* SoCrazyItMustBeTrue: The Otakis accept Koi's story as the truth because it's just so outlandish that he wouldn't make it up. To be fair, his story is that he lives in
a peaceful world working as an idol (a job their [[HeroicDog pet dog throughout.
Iku]] also works as a human), got run over, was changed into a ''youkai'', and is also accustomed to these otherworldly trips because of past experiences. It's lampshaded by Ichiha's father.
* TitleThemeTune: "Iirenren" is the play's main theme song.
* TragicVillain: Sakanoue, the main villain, is looking to take over the Otakis' territory. The idea of violent conquest doesn't sit well with him, though, and he'd prefer to settle the issue peacefully. Unfortunately, the mercenary group he's hired would like to do the opposite.
* TrappedInAnotherWorld: Koi is blasted away into the Tsukino Hyakkiyakou world. He can safely return home, but he needs to wait a bit of time before the time is right and the Celestial Foxes can bring him back.
* WeaselMascot: Kamaitachi Arata has a weasel as a shoulder pet.pet.
* WhenDimensionsCollide: Due to a sudden sunshower, the worlds' boundaries weaken, leading to Koi getting thrown into the ''youkai'' world. Because of his status as an irregular, Koi is no longer human, and he's turned into a {{Nue}}.

It's to the point where even the official Twitter [[https://twitter.com/tsukista/status/1650033313447559169?s=20 remarks]] that looking back, that the outfits spread around and fluttered so much, the positioning during their dances was exceedingly difficult to set up.

* OnlyOneMeAllowedRightNow: Zessekyo explains that Haru, Kai, and Hajime from the idol setting are inhabiting the bodies of their Zanshin counterparts, who are temporarily dormant, like a coating.

[[caption-width-right:350:From left to right: Haru, Arata, Kakeru, Koi, Aoi, Hajime, Roa, Zesseikyou, Shun, Iku, Rui, You, Yoru, Kai]]
In the
main setting idol characters -- timeline, Six Gravity and Procellarum, along with guests from Solids, Quell, [=SolidS=], QUELL, and Infini -- [=infinit0=], are rehearsing for their united play "Zanshin", 2021 joint stage theme, Zanshin. Everything seems to be proceeding at a good pace, but Hajime feels that his normal self and his onstage are fusing together somehow. One night, [[AlternateSelf someone highly resembling Shun]] drags Hajime into an unknown space. Chasing after him, Haru and Kai follow suit into the space, but Shun is repelled. When they open their eyes, the three seniors have found themselves in the world of the stage they were just practicing: Zanshin. The focus characters are the seniors: Hajime, Haru, Shun, and Kai.

There were three dance live setlists: A, B, and C. All of them included the first Tsukiani endings, but A and B were unit focus and had the fourth season solos.

* TwentyMinutesIntoThePast: The stage proper took place during spring of 2022, but in the normal timeline, this would have happened around autumn of 2021, since it details the time they had during rehearsal.
* AlternateCatchphraseInflection: Arata's playful bark of "wan wan" appears in the normal world. In the Zanshin world, it shifts to a deeper woof, to express his LetsGetDangerous attitude and the fact that they're no longer in the regular universe.
* BokeAndTsukkomiRoutine: Haru and Kai briefly react to their situation like this
when suddenly, they're accusted of being terrorists, including facing the fourth wall directly.
* BookEnds: The beginning of the story proper begins with
Zanshin world's Shun crosses bidding the gang farewell, requesting that they play with his normal world's Shun when they wake up. The stint into the alternate world ends with [[spoiler:Zesseikyou repeating the exact same lines, holding hands with both Hajime and Shun. When they return to their regular world, Shun comments that he's absorbed his other self and requests that they continue playing with him in the future.]]
* BrainwashedAndCrazy: Those who end up influenced by Regret end up this way. Zesseikyou, being the RealityWarper, can make this happen with a snap of his fingers.
* CallBack: Tsubasa, Dai, Shu, Issei, and Ichiru are not affected by the mind control that brainwashes people into thinking that the otherworlders are terrorists. Zesseikyou hypothesizes that it's because they've escaped from his grasp once before, as they did in [=SQS7=]: [[{{Theatre/SQS}} Zanshin]].
* ContinuityCavalcade: Because the stage is the twelfth, an ArcNumber for the series as a whole, it contains nods to many other stages and settings already set up in the history. Of note, when Zesseikyou is talking to himself about the worlds he's seen but never experienced for himself, he references Tsukino Empire, Machine Elements, Tsukino Hyakkiyakou, and Tsukihana Kagura.
* ContinuityNod: Multiple.
** Kai comments to himself that it's not the first time they've been brought to another
world and takes Hajime. while in the middle of rehearsal, a nod to Yumemigusa. Later on, Hajime brings up that they've fought with Japanese swords before in another reference to the same stage.
** When explaining their past,

the Digital World before. In order, he's referencing Lunatic Party, Kurenai Enishi, and CYBER DIVE CONNECTION.
* DarkIsNotEvil: The protagonists wear all black. The obvious LightDarknessJuxtaposition between them and the mindless [[LightIsNotGood Regret]] makes it clear who's on the side of good, and who's the enemy.
* DefeatMeansFriendship: The real-world characters [[spoiler:Hajime and Shun successfully defeat Zesseikyou by working together. Hajime, Haru, and Kai had already figureed out that Zesseikyou was actually [[IJustWantToHaveFriends just lonely]], so the seniors bring Zessekyo him back with them, within Shun, instead inside of leaving him Shun so he'll no longer have to be lonely.
all alone in an incomplete world.]]
* FakeMemories: When Hajime is brought over to the Zanshin world, the Minerva members' memories are all rewritten in order to make them think that he always existed.
* FrameUp: By controlling the world's perception, Zesseikyou manipulates the world into thinking that Hajime, Haru, Kai, and everyone on their side is either a terrorist in the NebulousCriminalConspiracy group Nemesis.
* GiverOfLameNames: Koi comes up with a rather cutesy name for his plan to get Zesseikyou to see the light once more, and Arata reacts with disgust.
* IJustWantToHaveFriends: [[spoiler:The reason why Zesseikyou is so desperate for Hajime. He's gone through thousands of years watching other timelines' versions of him having the time of his life, while he's all alone. His only way of getting people to interact with him is by dragging them into the world in their dreams, but they inevitably have to leave to wake up. He scathingly notes that Kai only talks with him for work, and Haru doesn't even talk to him, which is a stark contrast from the extremely close relationship they all have.]]
* IKnowYoureInThereSomewhereFight: [[spoiler:When Procellarum are BrainwashedAndCrazy, Six Gravity has to do this to snap them out of it. It's not enough, though, and the only way they recover is by having the normal universe Shun remove the brainwashing.]]
* KidsAreCruel: As It's in the title implies, Zessekyo subtitle. Zesseikyou, the "Child" in the description, is characterized by his childish wish desire to override everyone else's desires goals and preferences.
preferences.
* LightIsNotGood: White represents regret in this story. When representing the infected fighters, the SQ members are bleached in white, and all of the enemies in the final battle, including the BigBad himself, are dressed in white.
* MeaningfulEcho: When Zesseikyou poses a question, he answers himself before anyone else can. It signifies his wish to be the only one he hears, not accepting anyone else's opinion. [[spoiler:Later on down the line, the normal universe's Shun asks the Procellarum members a question. He patiently waits for them to answer, showing the difference between the two,]] which is commented on as a [[https://twitter.com/tsukista/status/1510670741993586688?s=20 development note]].
* NoGoodDeedGoesUnpunished: Procellarum still have the mindset that Kai's a terrorist, yet he puts himself in harm's way to rescue Rui. Surely, they'd be more lenient on him? Wrong. The remaining members threaten him with their swords and take him prisoner.
* NotHimself: Procellarum reacts with confusion and puzzlement to Kai's claim that he, Haru, and Hajime came from another world. This reaction is enough to convince Kai that he's no longer in their normal world, as Procellarum are naturally the ones most ConditionedToAcceptHorror.
* OnlyOneMeAllowedRightNow: Zessekyo This is the reason why the Zanshin world's Haru and Kai don't actually appear. Zesseikyou explains that Haru, Kai, Haru and Hajime from the Kai have been coated over with their idol setting are inhabiting the bodies of timelines' selves, and their Zanshin counterparts, world lives are laying dormant underneath. Said coating is only possible because the idol world is of a higher status than Zanshin's, being complete.
* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: It's justified with the characters
who are temporarily dormant, originate from Zanshin, since they're not from the normal world. Haru and Shun, however, aren't like this, and they get genuinely upset at certain key points.
* PlayAlongPrisoner: A heroic version. Kai is captured by the Procellarum members, but after saying what he needs to, he triumphantly removes his bonds and skedaddles it out of there.
* RedBaron: The Generals have their own unique names in this stage, taken directly from their character settings.
** Hajime, along with his usual Black King nickname, is called Shigokukyou[[note]]Ultimate Lord[[/note]].
** Shun is referred to as the White Demon Lord. The otherworldly version of Shun is Zesseikyou[[note]]Unrivaled Lord[[/note]], the BigBad.
** Shiki, who's only mentioned in name, is Kakuenkyou[[note]]Glorious Flame Lord[[/note]].
** Shu is Meiyakukyou[[note]]Pledge Lord[[/note]].
** Roa is Mikagekyou[[note]]Divine Spirit Lord[[/note]].
* SlippedTheRopes: When all's said and done, Kai reveals that he's already freed himself from the ropes that had him tied up, hightailing it and saying that getting out of ropes is
a coating.
necessary survival tactic.
* TitleThemeTune: The main theme, sung by all twelve of the actors, is titled "Zanshin -Mukei no Yae-". It's a CoverVersion of the one sung by Kujikawa Haruto of VAZZROCK for AGF 2021.
* TrappedInAnotherWorld: Haru, Kai, and Hajime are brought from rehearsal for the Zanshin play into to the actual Zanshin world by Zessekyo, a.k.a. Zesseikyou. Hajime's the only one needed, but neither Haru nor Kai are willing to leave him to stay in the world while they go back safely, so they make it their end goal to return to their home.
* TrueCompanions: Gravi and Procella are united tightly by their bonds. Being the focus characters, Hajime and Haru, as well as Shun and Kai, have a heartfelt moment to themselves where they express how much they matter to one another.
* UndyingLoyalty: When everyone is brainwashed into perceiving Hajime, Haru, and Kai as terrorists, the Gravi members still stick with their leader and advisor because they just feel in their hearts that it's the right thing to do.
** Procellarum, due to not being as cohesive as Gravi, takes some time coming around and some choice words from Kai to get spurred on. Still, they express the exact same thing towards Zesseikyou, their world's Shun, because the influence from the current timeline onto the
Zanshin timeline has led to this for Shun.
* {{Yandere}}: This is basically why Zesseikyo kidnaps Hajime.
WeCanRuleTogether: Zesseikyou offers this to Hajime. He's not having it, because he wants to go back to his own world.
