In a flashback, Mikeno explains to Tokine that the main point of hado is the assimilation of power, both the user's own and another's. This allows the user to render another's power ineffective. In a sacred land, objects there do not generally have a physical existence, and instead are composed of the land's power. Therefore, learning Utsusemi, the ultimate hado technique, grants complete freedom and makes all places in the spirit world accessible. Zero instructs Souji Hiura to assist him, adding that it is an order from the Commander. Zero asks Souji if he knows what a coup d'état is.
