Plot[]
Yusuke manages to avoid being impaled by catching Xu·Zain·Da’s horn as he falls. After landing a finishing kick, Xu·Zain·Da stands up, showing that the kick was ineffective. A moment later, Me·Byran·Gi dashes in and injures Xu·Zain·Da’s shoulder, then attack him several more times. Xu·Zain·Da insists that he’s just performing the Gegel, but Me·Byran·Gi insists that he doesn’t have the right to, and tosses both himself and Xu·Zain·Da off a small cliff into a pool of water as Yusuke watches. Ichijo arrives later and suggests that they look downstream for the pair.

She responds that he was able to do it because of everybody’s smiles. She gives him a thumbs-up and asks if he knew about it. When he sees that, Kanzaki tells her that he taught Yusuke about it and that it was a sign in ancient Rome that the person to whom it was given could successfully do everything, and that he told Yusuke to become a man worthy of it. When he finishes tells Sakurako this, he is overcome with emotion and begins to cry.
