She later meets up with Leo and their father where they learn more about Azazel and later toward stopping Kazuya where she reveals some of her moves which shocks him. Later during the final battle, True Devil Kazuya launches a blast that nearly kills everyone, and Reina purposely gets into the crossfire to be near death for her Devil Gene to be unlocked.
