Personality

Despite being ordered to do so by the principal Yoshinobu Gakuganji, Kasumi was uncomfortable about her class' attempt on Yuji Itadori's life and apologizes for it later.

After talking, Kasumi and Maki continue to fight with neither holding back. As Kasumi fight Maki, she notices that Maki is stronger then what Mai had told her. As Kasumi is put on the defensive by Maki's attacks, she decides to take a stance in order to counter. When Maki breaks her weapon, Miwa wonder why she did that.

As Kasumi wonders what to do, she suddenly gets a call from Mechamaru. As she answers the phone, Toge Inumaki is on the other side and puts her to sleep. When intruders invade the event, Kasumi is still fast asleep.

After the invaders have been dealt with, Kasumi attends a meeting and agrees with the others to continue the event. One the second day of the event, Kasumi plays baseball with the others. After the event is finished, Kasumi heads back to Kyoto along with the students and faculty.

Miwa is given privacy on the train to Shibuya as she holds onto the last device that Kokichi is talking through. He tries to convince her that the battle will end soon and she should turn back. Miwa asks Kokichi why it's only Aoi Todo and Arata Nitta where Kokichi explains that there's a 99% chance that Todo would survive and that Arata's cursed technique is useful. Miwa suddenly tearfully yells and asks if she was so weak that he needed to act in secrecy and ensure they wouldn't be available on 31st, only for Kokichi refute and say he was truly weak for making these mistakes. While he's in the middle of talking, tears suddenly sprout from Miwa's eyes as she hugs the device. When Kokichi tells Miwa that it's time to say goodbye, Miwa tearfully begs for him to not leave. Kokichi then tells Miwa that he did truly love her and asks for her to find her happiness, no matter how she does it, as long as she's happy his wish will become true. She then starts crying tearfully in the train.
