Li Yu’s group confronted Satomi Rentaro with evidence of the Tendō Family’s crimes, but he defended Kikunojō Tendo and tried to stop Tendō Kisara’s revenge.

• Asuna and Yukino Yukinoshita picked up Midori Fuse and her three companions and brought them to safety, then returned to the battlefield and joined the fight as Aldebaran called more Gastrea toward it.
