Kaiki is called along with the others to Yakumo's side to destroy the elemental sites, so that they can recreate the Netherrealm. Kaiki then shows up at one of the elemental sites to spite Kurama; using his power of deception, he tricks Kurama into thinking that he was responsible for Kuronue's death (Kaiki is disguising himself). He is able to destroy the site by playing on Kurama's false sense of guilt.
