Mari, who had ran off from Moe and Mizuki after backlashing at them, revisits King Torture's hideout, reminding herself of the horrors she and Moe went through and lamenting her own worthlessness. Moe and Mizuki catch up to her and the three manage to make up with each other. Meanwhile, Mazayoshi, who is still in hiding from the authorities and growing weak from hunger, meets a short-sighted homeless man who offers him some food. He explains how when life was treating him badly, it was Samurai Flamenco who taught him to help others. Encouraged by his words, Mazayoshi goes to Hidenori, who has been waiting for him to come seek his help.
