Another World, Another Girl (もうひとつの世界、もうひとりの彼女, Mō-hitotsu no Sekai, Mō-hitori no Kanojo?) is the tenth episode of Date A Live Ⅲ.
Synopsis[]
In the Itsuka residence, Shido wonders to himself if the world is now peaceful. He is greeted by Kotori, who has no idea what Shido is rambling on about and wonders if he’s still half-asleep. After Shido learns the date is November 3rd, he realizes today was the same day that Origami went inverse, which means he succeeded in changing history after all. Feeling relieved, Shido hugs Kotori, who is left embarrassed and taken off guard by the sudden act.
After Shido finishes his morning preparations for the day, he is greeted by Tohka, to whom he gives the bite-size cutlets prepared for lunch. Tohka's appetite is roused by the meal, but she’s also confused since Shido had said he would prepare something else today. This causes him to wonder if time-traveling led to changes he's unaware of. The Yamai twins arrive and greet them. As Shido stares at the Yamai twins, Kaguya believes he's staring at their chests, to which Yuzuru explains that it's normal behavior for a man. Tohka demands Shido explain himself, but he denies that being the case at all.
In school, Shido gazes at Origami's empty seat. He turns to Tohka and asks what's the matter, but she also senses that something feels missing. Tamae enters the classroom and prepares to roll call the students’ names for attendance. All the while, Shido thinks Origami is either late or absent. Suddenly, he is surprised to not hear her name being called out. Shido questions Tamae about Origami, but the teacher is left confused. Due to Origami’s name being synonymous with the Japanese art of paper folding, the Ai, Mai, and Mii trio mistake this as a sign that Shido is making paper cranes for Tamae. Meanwhile, Tonomachi begins to wonder if Shido is trying to complete a "Tama-chan route". As a result, Shido realizes that the world is different with nobody being able to recall Origami. He presumes that with no grudge against the Spirits, she must have lived happily with her parents. When Tohka asks Shido if he's in pain, the tears leak out of his eyes, but he confirms that he's fine before wiping them away. Still, there is a part of him that wishes to see Origami once more.
In the house, the girls notice that something is troubling Shido while he is cooking. Natsumi assumes it's because of a girl, much to Kotori and Yoshino’s shared shock. When Kotori demands her to elaborate further, Natsumi explains that it happens when girls are harsh to boys in high school. Since they want to cheer up Shido, Natsumi gives Kotori and Yoshino a suggestion. While Shido is trying to focus on cooking, Kotori and Yoshino state they are going to help him, but he drops his knife upon seeing them dressed up in embarrassing maid outfits. As both of them grab his arms, Shido figures it's Natsumi's doing, and she is revealed to be wearing a normal maid outfit. Angered that Natsumi went back on their deal to all wear scantily clad outfits, Kotori chases Natsumi while Yoshino tries to calm her down. However, the ensuing pursuit causes them to all crash into Shido in a compromising position. After changing back to their casual clothes, the three of them apologize to Shido, but he apologizes in turn for causing them to be worried. Kotori reminds Shido to get himself together when another Spirit appears as she mentions Kurumi and the Inverse Spirit codenamed "Devil". When Shido is surprised to hear about the latter, Kotori warns him that Devil is considered more dangerous than Kurumi. Confused about why Shido has forgotten about this, Kotori explains that Devil is an unidentified Spirit who attacks other Spirits when they manifest. She also mentions the time when Tohka and the others saved Natsumi from Devil. After Shido watches the recorded footage they have on file for Devil, he recognizes the Inverse Spirit to be Origami.
The next day in school, Tohka asks if Shido is sleepy, but he reassures her that he's fine despite not sleeping much. He then wonders why Origami became a Spirit even after saving her parents. Suddenly, Tamae introduces everyone to a new student who turns out to be Origami with a completely different personality and much longer hair. When Origami is about to sit next to Shido, she's surprised by his appearance looking familiar. Shido calls Kotori for more information and learns Origami was still a member of the AST until she retired for unknown reasons around the time Devil started appearing. During the lunch break, Shido leaves a paper request to speak privately with Origami on the rooftop. He learns that her joining the AST in this timeline was done out of gratitude for the person who saved her parents' lives from a Spirit. Due to the shared resemblance, she believes the person who saved her parents and "died" could have been Shido's older brother. Nevertheless, while Origami's parents were very loving, they still died due to a car accident four years ago. Shido prepares to question her about becoming a Spirit, but the bell rings to indicate lunch break is over. However, Shido still wants to talk with Origami if she's free later, which causes Origami to blush and request more time to think it over. During class, Tohka asks where Shido was, so he changes the topic by saying Kotori was fine with having curry for dinner, much to her excitement.
On the rooftop, Shido reads Origami's message which states she's free on Saturday. Shido wants to discuss this with Ratatoskr, but he feels exhausted and falls asleep for a bit. As he wakes up, Shido finds himself resting on Kurumi’s lap. Kurumi reveals that she also remembers everything from the old timeline. In order to find out why Origami became an Inverse Spirit, Kurumi helps Shido by transforming into her Spirit Form and plans to shoot the Tenth Bullet Yud at Origami to read her memories. Origami is looking for her hairpin and finds it on the stairs to the rooftop. However, when Origami sees Shido with Kurumi, her eyes turn dark before she steps forward. Shido tries to explain, yet Origami remains silent. Kurumi greets her and talks about the possibility that they already have met, but Origami transforms into her Inverse Spirit Form and indiscriminately attacks. Kurumi saves Shido and shoots her bullets at Origami, but her attacks are blocked with ease. Origami then tears apart Kurumi with her lasers. After the deed is done, Origami returns to normal, but she is unable to recall what just happened.
