Turtle informs Sakuragi about Ishihara, prompting Sakuragi to leave the school amid cheers to end his conflict. He confronts Ishihara, who reveals hatred and pulls a gun, threatening to kill Setsuko and others. Sakuragi disarms him, turning the weapon on the terrified Ishihara before handing him Ei'ichi's suicide note and departing. Ishihara chases him and stabs Sakuragi in the abdomen. Sakuragi stares him down and walks away, causing Ishihara to believe he cannot kill him. Meanwhile, Mario continues his match against an American boxer, promising Lilly he will win. He knocks the opponent down, but the boxer rises before the count ends. Lilly attempts to stop the fight, but Mario persists. Sakuragi removes the knife and heads toward the boxing match despite severe blood loss, only to be intercepted by Dr. Sasaki and the police.
