Makubex formulates a strategy, prompting Fudou’s impatience as he seeks another fight with Ban. Kazuki, Himiko, and Hevn confront children controlled by the wire doll system, with Ginji and Akabane reluctantly intervening to stop them. The group reunites in a circular room where Ban and Shido arrive to calm Fudou. Gen and Ren observe this gathering, revealing Gen as the architect of Babylon City. Six numbered doors exist in the room. Ginji discovers a die and proposes that everyone except Hevn roll it to determine which numbered door each person enters. Akabane prepares to face Makubex. Although Kazuki and Emishi appear destined to battle, Shido and Juubei arrive to provide support to their respective partners.
