Kazuaki Ōji (chapter)

This page is about the chapter. For other uses, see Kazuaki Ōji (disambiguation).

Short Summary
With Ōji hot on Chika's trail, Osamu is forced to protect her as they head towards the wire zone in order to regroup with Yūma.

Long Summary
Ōji begins an assault on Osamu and Chika while they make their way to Osamu's wires. Tōma notes that this is a critical moment for Tamakoma Second; their strategy hinges on Chika's survival, thus Osamu must protect Chika no matter what. Osamu believes that Ōji is disadvantaged because he is using only one hand to fight Osamu, but Ōji quickly dismisses this idea. He cuts off Osamu's arm, and in response, Osamu uses Spider to mix red wires with colorless wires. However, Ōji recognizes this tactic from Tamakoma Second's round 5 battle, cuts the wires, and barrages Osamu with Asteroid, breaking down Osamu's shield, and then stabbing him in the neck. Chika appears to be having a difficult time escaping Ōji, but much to everyone's shock, she uses Hound without Lead Bullet. The attack is aimed at the ground to create a smokescreen, allowing Chika to arrive at the wire zone safely. Ikoma and Mizukami are brought to the wire zone by Yūma, where they are shot at by Chika. The final confrontation begins as Ikoma Unit aims for points (still having 0), and Ōji decides whether to attack Tamakoma Second or Ikoma Unit.
