The four combatants are revealed to be fighting in a virtual reality room disguised as the Grand Canyon. Shido intensifies his focus against Emishi after a whip strike, despite Emishi’s admission that he would lose in a fair match. Emishi insists on fighting because Makubex protects his clan, unleashing a flame explosion that Shido narrowly prevents from harming him. After the encounter, Shido informs Kazuki that he intends to take Emishi to meet Gen and Ren. Meanwhile, Kazuki gains the upper hand using his thread technique, while Juubei struggles to counterattack with his flying needles. The virtual nature of the battlefield is exposed, clarifying the context of these intense exchanges between the participants.
