The original six survivors don their suits, with Sakuraoka and Mirafuji joining after Katou demonstrates strength. Kishimoto observes they have one and a half hours instead of one. A priest condemns them to hell for accepting war symbols but fears his own transport. Four players attempt to flee, prompting Katou to chase them. An explosion kills one man, and Katou explains they must stay. At the temple rear, Kajimura Ryuji and teenager Muroto Hajime discuss beating up targets while planning to sing Radio Taizo's Good Morning song. Using the X-gun, they discover bones inside the giant entrance statues. Kei smashes the door, causing the enraged statues to come to life.
