Rindaman expresses his belief that Suzuran can never be truly conquered, and that there will always be someone left to fight. Several days later, Genji again challenges Rindaman, the final obstacle on his path to ruling Suzuran. They decide to fight at 5:00pm the following day, at the same time that Tokio will undergo his operation, with Serizawa believing it will allow him to fight alongside Tokio. After locating Tokaji and saving Ruka, Genji decides it's finally time for war against Serizawa. Bandō demands an end to fight, revealing that he'd ordered the skulls be removed after part of The Armament aligned with Tokaji. A fight ensues, but Genji soon realizes that the men they are fighting are missing their trademark skull patches.

One of Serizawa's lieutenants, Tokaji Yūji, is not so ambivalent and begins covertly attacking members of the GPS, severely beating Chūta and putting Izaki in the hospital. Serizawa is alarmed by Genji's rapid rise to power, but chooses not to take action. Genji succeeds in rallying several strong members, including Tamura Chūta, Makise Takashi, and Izaki Shun.
