As Loki was holding Honoka hostage, Sakaki wanted to save Honoka, but Akisame told him that Kenichi must experience this situation as early as possible. Loki wanted Hermit to attack while Kenichi is ordered to stay still, but Hermit won't stoop so low as to win by holding someone hostage. Loki told him that it was Kensei's orders to do it. Number 20 asked Loki what Hermit has to do with Kensei. Loki used Kensei's orders to have Hermit beat up Kenichi, but seeing how things were he decided to finish things himself. Loki gave a hard punch, but Kenichi kept enduring so they could release Honoka.
