After the lab-coated researchers got to work, they quickly found the cause of the malfunction. The Science Unit's generator had indeed been supplying insufficient power.
But Caesar was also at fault. In his eagerness to claim credit, he had sent the finished product to Marine Headquarters without carefully setting up a circuit-breaker safety mechanism. The moment the power had gone out just now, the chaotic currents inside the machine had forcibly reached their peak. If Traine had not been strong enough, he would have been severely injured even if he had survived!

"Thank you for this, Mr. Ron. If it hadn't been for you..."
Outside the Science Unit, Caesar came running over, wiping cold sweat from his forehead after Kizaru had given him a savage scolding in a tone brimming with killing intent.
