Intending to have Genma inherit the Dark Core (which was formerly in Rouga's possession), Sophia uses the Dark Core on Doai. She puts Doai under her control and has him attack Genma to coerce him into using the Core. Meanwhile, Gao, his friends, and family members are having a dinner party when Akatsuki drops in. Zanya arrives to retrieve him while also telling Gao that he does not see him as a rival.
