After Mo Yan's Split Consciousnesses returned one after another, Takato Matsuki and his companions no longer had anything stopping them from seeking out Zhuqiaomon, one of the Four Holy Beasts, to "reason" with her (and court death).
Without any surprises, the ever-hot-tempered Zhuqiaomon struck first, thoroughly trouncing Li Jianliang and the others, who had stubbornly insisted on "talking things out" with her.
Of course, Zhuqiaomon had held back.

So when Li Jianliang saw Takato Matsuki recklessly trying to enter that terrifying battlefield, he could only fuse with Terriermon again and evolve into Saidakoumon.
