He shoots them with ease but when too many ballbots come at him, he gets saved by Miyo who pulls him out of the way, taking the blow of the bombs. Liu, who suffered less of the blow, carries an unconscious Miyo away from the smoke and spends the rest of the episode trying to find Pala in order to heal her. They appear at the last moments of the episode looking surprised as Gai carries an injured Kuga towards them.
