Tsubaki pours tea for Sakurako, who came to talk to him about Yusuke, who told her that he has recently started to feel shocks throughout his body whenever he transforms. Tsubaki says that Yusuke told him about it as well and that he believed that it would make himself stronger. They both suspect that the Amadam is the cause, but Sakurako worries that if he uses up all his energy while he fights, he might actually die. Tsubaki tells her that there have been no changes to the Amadam, so he will likely be okay.

Ichijo asks Yusuke if he knew how many people that the Unidentified Lifeforms had killed, and he replies with the number 1,389. Ichijo tells him that the deaths aren’t his fault, and in order to prevent further deaths, they have to attack their roots and that there is probably a hint for doing so based on ULF 03’s movements. Yusuke guesses that ULF 00 is their leader, and Ichijo thinks that ULF 00 could be the woman with the rose tattoo, which would mean that the video was of her Gurongi form. They can’t confirm anything, but Ichijo figures that she is, at the very least, high-ranking, and is also getting Enokida and her team to find new ways to track the Unidentified Lifeforms. Ichijo then asks about the prickly feeling Yusuke has recently been feeling when he transforms, and Yusuke replies that he doesn’t think that the feeling is a bad one, but may consult Tsubaki about them later. After Yusuke drives off, Ichijo gets a call from Sakurako.
La·Balva·De tells Me·Garima·Ba that she is the last Me as Go·Badaa·Ba arrives and announces that the final round of the Gegel will soon begin, with just the Go players. She insists that she will become a Go, and La·Balva·De tells her that to become one, she must kill 288 Rinto in 18 hours. She declares that she will play the game like a Go and then marches off.

As Tsubaki examines Yusuke’s arm, he mentions that Sakurako visited him and asked him about the shocks he felt and that she seemed restless and anxious, which Yusuke comments is rare for her. Tsubaki then jokes that the shocks originated from the defibrillator that he used to try and awaken Yusuke.

Ichijo and Sakurako get lunch together, and Sakurako asks him about how long Yusuke will need to fight for. When he asks about her deciphering, she tells him that it just seems to turn up more puzzles and that she has a bad feeling about Yusuke battling. Ichijo says that he understands his feeling since the police sometimes use intuition to pick out suspects. She then apologizes for bothering him, but he says that the police are working harder so that they do not need to rely on Yusuke. He then gets a call from Sugita, who tells him that ULF 36, has begun killing. He then passes the information to Yusuke.
Minato Ward: Roppongi, 1:08 p.m.
Me·Garima·Ba kills several more civilians as La·Doldo·Gu watches. Go·Buuro·Gu then arrives and asks him when the semifinal Gegel will begin. He replies that when Xu·Goma·Gu arrives, it will immediately begin.
Yusuke then finds Unidentified Lifeform 36 and transforms. Unidentified Lifeform 36 then transforms as well. Partway through the fight, Yusuke turns into Titan Form, grabs part of Unidentified Lifeform 36’s scythe, and transforms it into the Titan Sword.
Sakurako discovers a phrase that reads ‘when the holy spring dries up, the fearsome warrior descends like a thunderbolt, and the sun will be swallowed by darkness.’
