Master Son concedes to Enshou's idea of threatening the Earth's existence to shut down the nanomachines. He notes that it also threatens the Army on Earth and them; Son messages said remnant to tell them that they were abandoned by Headquarters and that to save themselves, they must either shut down the nanomachines or defeat Japan by morning. But the Yato mercenaries knew this may be an impossible task as so the mercenaries decided that they will kill Enshou instead. Son threatens to kill Gengai unless he activates his "trump card" and helps them find a way to kill the prince. Meanwhile a smirking Utsuro overlooks the destroyed city.
