Ryouyou
Heki wakes up and sees Yo Tan Wa with Kitari. Yo Tan Wa asks why he's up so early and he says he had a nightmare where the Qin lost and she translate for Kitari and the Mera chief punches him because the Mera Tribe are very superstitious.

En rushes over to tell Shin that Ou Hon is awake and took command of the Gyoku Hou Unit again. Shin tells Kyou Kai that it's all because of her medicine. Kyou Kai thinks Houken will show up there because of Shin and tells Shin that if things get dangerous for him, she will protect him. Shin says to shut it because they're all going to win, alive together. They have a touching moment until Ka Ryo Ten busts in and yells at everyone to get in positions.
