Ep. 22: Ryuko reunites with Senketsu and defeats Nui before joining Satsuki against Ragyo.
Following the removal of Junketsu, Ryuko reconnects with Senketsu and engages Nui in combat, successfully retrieving her Scissor Blades and severing Nui's arms. Rei Hououmaru rescues Nui, allowing the Elite Four and Nudist Beach to utilize the escape Covers to recover allies and Life Fibers. Satsuki offers Ryuko a chance to punch her for past manipulation, but the Elite Four intervene. Acknowledging Satsuki's support system, Ryuko accepts the apology and agrees to fight alongside her. Satsuki then reveals Ragyo's plan to broadcast the original Life Fiber signal globally, encasing humanity in a massive cocoon. Ryuko and Satsuki depart to confront Ragyo, while Mako, wearing a new Goku Uniform, remains with the others to defend the Naked Sol from giant-sized Covers.
