## Overview

Tio protects Gash and the rest of her allies from Zeon with her newest spell, Chājiru Seshirudo, before collapsing due to exhaustion. After witnessing this, Zeon figures out that Gash had managed to survive as long as he did in the battle thanks to his allies and targets them while they’re completely unable to continue battling him. Curious about how Gash and Kiyomaro are still able to continue to fight back despite being completely worn out themselves, Dufort asks Kiyomaro about the source of his power and the answer to this is one that Dufort is unable to comprehend.

## Features

Just in time when her power is needed most, Tio uses *Chājiru Seshirudo*, a spell that she was previously unable to use, to protect Gash and the rest of her allies against Zeon’s *Jyauro Zakeruga*. As her desire to protect her friends grows stronger, the shield itself becomes bigger and it successfully blocks Zeon’s attack. Because both she and Megumi had poured all of their strength into this final spell, the two of them collapsed onto the ground. Tio expresses relief in being able to protect Gash at such a crucial moment before passing out. After seeing Tio use up her energy to protect Gash, Zeon realizes then that Gash had managed to survive as long as he did in the battle was because of his allies. Suddenly, Zeon uses *Zakeru* in the direction of where most of Gash’s allies were before going on to restate his intention of making Gash suffer for obtaining *Baou*.

Before Zeon could continue his attack, Dufort stops him in order to speak with Kiyomaro first. Dufort first tells Kiyomaro that he wants him to show him his power before going on to suggest that the two of them are alike in the sense that they were both excluded by their peers and felt contempt towards them because of their abilities. Dufort then asks Kiyomaro why he feels strongly about wanting to protect the world despite this. While Dufort is able to read Kiyomaro’s mind with his ability, he has a hard time understanding the feelings in Kiyomaro’s heart. He decides then that the only way he’ll find his answer is by defeating Kiyomaro in a battle to prove that these feelings are useless. As the battle between Gash and Zeon resumes, Dufort uses his precognitive ability to assist Zeon in the battle.

With this ability, Dufort perfectly predicts each of Gash’s incoming attacks and shares this information with Zeon who uses it to his advantage. Simultaneously, Dufort also uses his telekinetic ability to lift up the surrounding pillars in the control room to throw towards Kiyomaro to prevent him from helping Gash. While this battle goes on, Barry and Gustav finally arrive just outside of the control room and watch Gash’s fight unfold from the monitor. Barry suggests that they go in to join the battle but Gustav suggests it would be better for them to just watch the battle unfold and Barry can fight against whoever ends up winning. Throughout most of the battle, Gash and Kiyomaro’s attacks are shown to be ineffective thanks to Dufort’s precognitive ability and the two of them are once again face down on the ground after taking another direct hit. Despite the seemingly hopeless situation they’re in, Gash forces himself back up on his feet and urges Kiyomaro to do the same as they have come too far just to give up.

Seeing this, Dufort becomes confused as to how Kiyomaro and Gash are still able to stand up and what motivates them to keep fighting. Kiyomaro answers this by explaining that inside them are the hearts of the many humans and demons they met throughout the battle and the feelings they’ve entrusted them with is what gives them the power to fight on behalf of them and the entire world. Dufort has trouble understanding this and he reaches a breaking point when Kiyomaro suggests that meeting someone like Gash could have changed Dufort’s perspective and outlook on life just like him. After hearing Kiyomaro’s answer and realizing that this is true, Dufort suddenly becomes mentally unstable and begins to panic. He ends up overusing his power while frightened, and a burst of energy ends up pushing Kiyomaro away. Zeon rushes to Dufort’s side to ask him what’s wrong but Dufort is only able to tell him that he’s now deeply afraid of Gash and Kiyomaro. To ease Dufort’s fear and finally put an end to things, Zeon decides he will erase Gash and Kiyomaro’s memories now that he knows that the source of their power comes from the feelings of others.

Kiyomaro hastily casts *Zakeruga* in an attempt to stop Zeon from approaching them but it’s shown to be futile as Zeon easily dodges it before striking down Gash and kicking away Kiyomaro. One Gash is down again, Zeon puts his hand over him and prepares to use his ability to erase Gash’s memories all over again. As this is about to happen, Gash thinks about all the memories he had made with all the humans and demons he met from the very start of the battle until now, especially of Kiyomaro. Unwilling to allow these important memories be taken away again, Gash, as well as his spell book, begin to glow with a powerful golden light. This new power that surges inside of Gash allows him to stand back up one again with renewed vigor. On Kiyomaro’s command, Gash launches a *Zakeru* towards Zeon. With the power of the golden spell book, *Zakeru* appears much larger and is on the same level of power as Zeon’s. Gash is also shown to be able to move even faster than Zeon as he catches up to him while he dodges his *Zakeru* before punching him away. Gash then quickly follows this up by using *Zakeruga* to which Zeon just barely avoids. Desperate to end the battle quickly, Zeon urges Dufort to cast their most powerful spell. Likewise, Gash and Kiyomaro prepare to do the same. The episode then ends as it shows Zeon and Gash’s most powerful spells, *Jigadirasu Uru Zakeruga* and *Baou Zakeruga* respectively, clashing with each other.
