## Summary

At Rogue Out's headquarters, Shiki wonders if the android is Sister of the Four Shining Stars. Pino, who is sending a video back to Witch on Edens Zero, asks if she is seeing this which the latter agrees. Witch admits that she doesn't recognize her, but the identification code is right and tells Pino to be careful. Shiki asks that she return Rebecca back to them, but the machine says that it is too difficult. When Shiki demands that he get his friend back, Sister snaps her fingers, and soldiers began to enter the church. The machine orders her soldiers to kill them so she could turn their remains into her soldiers. Shiki tries to chase after her, but the soldiers began firing at him. Activating his Gravity Ether Gear, he quickly floats in the air, surprising both the soldiers and Homura. Shiki began to attack the soldiers one-by-one, overpowering them while dodging their bullets. One of the soldiers shoots a homing missile at Shiki and he tries to outrun it with fail. Homura rushes in front of him and slices it in half, which shocks the soldiers, as she's wielding an ether sword. Homura explains that her Ether Gear is known as Soul Blade, with Shiki calling her a samurai with the latter calling herself a knight, but somewhat agrees. Homura tells Shiki to go on ahead of her before the soldiers start their attack again. She splits her ether sword into two and attacks them with Five Sword Fencing: Leopard Stance. As Shiki leaves, Homura glares at the soldiers and claims to have honed her Ether Gear in order to defeat the Demon King.

As Rogue Out takes their ship to where Illega is, Shiki and Pino are underneath the ship thanks to the latter's gravity powers, Shiki saying that they are on their way to Rebecca. After having defeated the soldiers at Rogue Out's headquarters, Homura states that she is not satisfied, saying that her blade is not yet sated. Meanwhile, a frightened Weisz watches from outside wonders if she's crazy or not, while still admiring her physique. At the foot of Illega Tower, together with Jinn and Mosco, Ganoff argues with Illega's soldiers, stating that even though they did not manage to deliver all the girls they should still be paid. One of the soldiers mentions that Illega does not reward shoddy work, much to Ganoff's frustration who threatens the soldier with Sister's wrath. The soldier is unfazed and states that Illega has made his decision already, which prompts Ganoff to want to speak to Illega himself. The soldier mentions that Illega is "busy" with the girls to which Granoff replies that he has no right to touch the girls. Suddenly, Sister arrives on her ship and says that she will speak with Illega personally. While this is happening, Shiki and Pino are watching. Shiki immediately notices Jinn, however, Pino points out that Shiki should focus on saving Rebecca and that she is likely inside, to which Shiki responds that he will definitely save her. Then, Sister orders Mosco to return to Rogue Out's headquarters to collect lingering human bodies and prepare them for their remodeling. He obeys and flies away to the confusion of Sister's soldiers. The conversation ends with Sister demanding to be taken to Illega.

Inside the tower, the B-Cuber girls are crying, and Milon starts a conversation with Rebecca. She mentions that all the dangerous things she does on her channel are scripted, much to everyone's shock. Milon also says that she is very afraid and starts crying. This prompts Rebecca to comfort her and to ensure that they will find a way to get out of their prison if they just work together. Suddenly, Copa states she has been questioning the nature of the bubbles that melted the girls' clothing, saying that they affected their clothes and metal accessories but not their skin. Couchpo tries eating the bubbles stating that they have no taste. Then, Rebecca notices that the bubbles also do not affect the walls and asks if anyone was wearing any glass accessories. Some of the girls respond that they were in fact wearing glass accessories that have now melted. Rebecca then proposes the idea of melting the window located high up on the wall. In order to reach the window, Miyako says that they could form a pyramid formation, to which the group agrees. They manage to form a pyramid by climbing on each other's back, allowing Rebecca to reach the window and melt it with the bubbles. The pyramid collapses but Rebecca is able to climb through the window, landing on the other side of the wall. The group suggests that Rebecca should look for clothes and a map of the area, while Couchpo requests some food. Rebecca is able to travel through the air vents and reaches the pantry but is grabbed down by Illega who asks her how she escaped. He states that he will use her as a toy, which envokes Rebecca to question his motives. He simply responds that he can do whatever he wants because he has money and that everyone will do as he says. Rebecca says that it takes more than just money to touch people's hearts, but Illega says that he doesn't care about something like that. Everyone around him already obeys him and that he feels sorry for people who do not have money since they are only good for being tortured and used as furniture. Then, he starts to use his tongue to make Rebecca's body go numb. He says that he will keep her as his toy and that he will play with her until she breaks.

Then, all of a sudden, Shiki breaks through the floor kicking Illega away from Rebecca, much to her delight. Shiki is angry that Illega had kidnapped his friend and ignores anything Rebecca says. He jumps and attacks Illega and starts beating him up. Pino informs Rebecca that Happy had taken damage, but his life isn't in danger and they don't know the whereabouts of the "Guild Master". Seeing that Shiki isn't responding and won't stop, Pino uses EMP to stop him. The EMP also opens the doors and the B-Cubers manage to escape. They find a dressing room with weird costumes and put them on. Moments later, they find Rebecca and thank her for helping them out. Shiki feels the presence of Jinn and attacks him. He tells Rebecca and the other B-Cubers to leave. Jinn comments he didn't expect to see Shiki on Guilst and that the women are merchandise he cannot allow escaping and decides to kill Shiki. Meanwhile, Homura had finished all the enemy androids with Weisz shooting the last one. Homura feels a form of Ether from beneath and wants to head down, however, Weisz points his gun at her and asks her what is she really after as he feels she is hiding something. Homura is confident that guns won't work on her, but Weisz reveals he has Ether Gear. Mosco then shows up from above, but before he could land Weisz defeats him using Million Bullets and reveals he had remodeled the place and put guns on the floor. On the Edens Zero, Happy awakens and Witch informs him that the rescue mission was a success and that Rebecca is safe. The emergency alarm goes off and Witch is surprised to see planets dying one after the other. She then notices a Chronophage is heading their way.

## Manga & Anime Differences

* When Pino sends a view-point video to Witch, the angle of the Edens Zero is different where Guilst is visible in the anime.
* Many angles are inverted or mirrored, such as:
	+ In the manga, when Shiki states how they have been looking for Sister the view is above and by the statue, while in the anime the view is from below and behind Shiki and Homura.
	+ When Sister realizes that Shiki and his friends aren't there to commission a job the view is from above rather than from behind Sister.
	+ Shiki asking for Rebecca's whereabouts is also inverted, where he is facing at the right in the anime.
	+ Homura asking to challenge Shiki and him asking her to not die is mirrored.
	+ The Rogue Out ship flying to Illega's tower is seen from below rather than above like in the manga.
* When Shiki is chased by the homing missile, he does not land on a pillar when he first dodges the missile as it was in the manga.
* In the anime, Shiki gets his right foot stuck in a hole, while it was his left foot in the manga.
* When Homura takes on Five Sword Fencing: Leopard Stance the floor below is solid red, rather than a square pattern like in the manga. Her statement of a leopard using its swift legs to hunt prey happens before the soldiers start firing.
* In the anime, Witch recognizing the sword is first seen through Pino's eye before it changes to Witch herself.
* The headquarters of Rogue Out is more demolished in the aftermath of Homura's battle in the anime.
* The anime has Jinn and Mosco reacting to Sister's arrival before she exits the ship.
* Milon is stiting with her arms crossed over her knees by the wall in the manga, whereas the anime has her arms down and away from the wall.
* Couchpo and the other two B-Cubers' positions are reversed in the anime.
* Additionally, a short scene of the other B-Cubers looking at Milon as she cries is added in the anime.
* Icchy and Naru do not appear taking Nacchan and Ricchan's places, rather other background B-Cubers with similar hairstyles. The first pair when Couchpo eats the bubbles having black hair with blue eyes and blue hair with brown, respectively. The second pair in the human pyramid respectively have black and burgundy-colored hair.
* In the anime, rather than Sheila, other B-Cubers question how they will reach the window.
* The dialogue of the B-Cubers in the human pyramid is altered.
	+ The Mirajane look-a-like is the one complain about being on the bottom in the manga, whereas it is a random B-Cuber in the anime.
	+ Couchpo is the one who says that they would get a lot of views from this in the anime, rather than the Lisanna look-a-like. Like-wise, the girl beside Couchpo is the one who says that she would die in the anime, rather than the curly-haired girl.
* When the B-Cuber pyramid falls, the scene momentarily changes to a hallway in the anime.
* The anime zooms in the room when Rebecca enters the room past the window.
* The anime has Milon as the one to suggest going through the air vent to find another room, rather than the Strauss sisters' look-a-likes.
* The size of the vent and the arrangement of the food in the pantry is different in the anime. Additionally, the other thinner vent opening is missing and there are visible lighting in the anime.
* The anime gives Illega a different expression after he pulls Rebecca out of the vents.
* The arrangement of the debris after Shiki kicks Illega is different in the anime.
* Shiki and Pino were positioned beside Rebecca when she introduces them to the B-Cubers in the manga, whereas the anime has them behind her.
* In the anime, some of the B-Cubers are in different positions when Pino leads them to the exit.
* The anime shows a close-up of the android soldier Weisz inspects.
* The anime shows Homura's reaction before the guns from the floor.
* Mosco lands on his back after being shot in the anime.
* The arrival of the Chronophage is slightly different in the anime.
