Also, the four original members of the Jyukenbu ( I mean Soichirou, Bob, Masataka, and Aya) have all had those near death experiences where they seethese images. Aya saw like bugs crawling on her, Soichirou with the skeletons pulling him down after the Ishiyumi fight, and Masataka seeing snakes around him during the Fu' Chien fight. Bob, however, saw complete white when he was losing blood from his fight with Madoka.
I also think Mitsuomi sees this and Maya is the one who still doesn't understand it yet. I think that's the reason why he's so hard on Masataka, so that he doesn't become like he was two years ago. To make his brother stay with the jyukenbu. I think Mitsuomi sees that with Soichirou and Aya, as he doesn't like Red feather powers. I think he sees Bob as the one who can defeat the true demon as he never really changed himself throughout the series so far, personality-wise.
