Opening Theme

"Butterfly Kiss" by Chihiro Yonekura

"Rave-olution" by Reel Big Fish

While Haru struggles in his battle with Shuda, Hamrio Musica has some difficulty dealing with Shuda's henchmen, Busha the perverted man who uses glue pia and Lugas the cyborg. Musica uses his silver shield to block the cyborg's delta cannon, but the Busha uses his glue pia to take the pieces of delta cannon's blast to attack Musica. At first, their omega ray combination attack will not allow Musica to counterattack until Elie takes down Lugas with her tonfas. Musica defeats Busha by destroying Busha's glue attack with Silver Whip. Musica uses his whip to throw Busha in the air and finishes him off with Silver Spear.

Back to Haru's battle, Haru finds out Shuda's weakness. Haru tells Shuda that he cannot use explosion when he is near Haru because it will damage him as well. Shuda tries to kick Haru, but he decides to use explosion anyways. Meanwhile, Elie asks Musica if they can help Haru in any way, yet Musica tells Elie that this is Haru's fight.

Musica and Elie are targeted by machine gun which Busha operates. When Plue smashes in the groung, Musica and Elie gets in the control room, and Lugas has Elie in his hands. Meanwhile, Haru uses Shuda's explosions to launch himself to Shuda, and he uses Silaphalion to attack Shuda due to an early example with Plue darting at Shuda in a similar fashion. Once Musica gives the necklace, Elie shoots at Lugas. When Busha grabs the necklace and messes with Elie, Elie gets Musica's necklace while Musica beats him. Lugas initiates the self destruct sequence. Musica calls Hebi for help.

Shuda has Haru pinned again. Haru, who goes in a flashback with Gearhound, gets free and destroys Shuda's sword with explosion. He saves Shuda once Shuda falls over the edge. Shuda uses his explosion on his wrist and bids Haru farewell.

Points of Interests

Anime and Manga Differences

Unlike the anime, Shuda cuts off his wrist. Also, Haru did not destroy Shuda's sword in the manga which made Shuda cut off his hand (more than his wrist). In the anime, Haru destroys Shuda's sword.

Sub versus Dub

• In the sub, Elie calls Hebi and ask him to help without providing coordinates. Compared to the dub, Elie thinks Hebi is a psychic.
