As the fight progresses, Shiro and Shuichi learn about it, causing Shiro to become angry that Shuichi would deliberately allow the Protagonist to put himself in danger. Shuichi explains that he did it to get Shiro away from the Berserkers, as he agreed with Snow's assessment that Shiro didn't have the fortitude necessary to deal with them. He repeats his offer of making him a high ranking member of the Wisemen, but Shiro, stating that Shuichi's words had the opposite effect of what he intended, turns him down on the grounds that he made it clear that he's worked with the Berserkers in some manner. He then states his intention to strong arm what information he can from Shuichi in order to countermand the trap Kengo and the Protagonist have stepped in. | As the fight progresses, Shiro and Shuichi learn about it, causing Shiro to become angry that Shuichi would deliberately allow the Protagonist to put himself in danger.

Cut to Coliseum. Horkeu Kamui and Nomad are watching the fight between Kengo and the Protagonist. They discuss how the Protagonist is fairing in the fight, with Horkeu concluding that the way they're handling the fight is proof positive that they're the hero he's looking for. He informs Nomad that, knowing the Protagonist is the likely winner, to train on his own in the mountains . In the ring, Kengo admits he didn't take Shiro's notes on how tough the Protagonist was seriously and divines that 'something happened' between them, yet he refuses to accept that they care about his safety. However, he relents that he wasn't properly prepared for them before they collide in one final attack. | Cut to Coliseum.

The Protagonist wakes up later in Kengo's room, where Kengo, despite being annoyed that he had to get them to recover, says that they've earned his respect. He informs them that he was aware of the trap the whole time, but went along with it due to his desire to know what's outside of Tokyo. When he realized Shiro was being dragged into the trap, he begrudgingly started pushing him away to keep him out of the line of fire. Kengo then asks that they take his place as Shiro's friend before running off. Before they can chase after him, Shiro calls through the App. He instructs them coerce Bathym and Andvari into leading them to the instigator of the trap. They arrive just in time to find him being harassed by Kirito and the No. 3 fighter, {{Transient icon|Oniwaka}}, who intends to take the power of Kengo's Sacred Artifact as his own. However, his plan goes awry upon finding out that Bathym, who never had any loyalty to him, and Andvari, who was promised full control of the payout for the Protagonist's impending match with Macan, have betrayed him at the last second. | The Protagonist wakes up later in Kengo's room, where Kengo, despite being annoyed that he had to get them to recover, says that they've earned his respect.

Cut to the diner. Shiro and Shuichi applaud the Protagonist for knowing how to manipulate Oniwaka's lackeys into turning against him. However, Shiro informs Shuichi that, in the interest of keeping his future his own, he intends to start his own guild with Kengo and the Protagonist. | Cut to the diner.
