Kai rides the Embodiment of Armor, Bahr(8000) and calls Aermo(6000) for support. This is something of a misplay because Aermo can't do anything right now, so it's better for Kai to keep his hand to himself. However, by having Kai do this Mr. Ito saved himself from having to draw Dragon Armored Knight losing -2000 power and then getting it back one panel later.

Triggers: 16

Kai rides Dragonic Overlord(11000) and counterblasts 3 for its skill. Dragonic Overlord(16000) attacks Alen, then turns on Marron, being guarded by Giro(S18000).
Giro goes to Marron's soul(soul 2.)
  • Differences from the real game; Dragonic Overlord has an attack of 10000, its skill does not include the +5000 power boost(if it does then Kai did not choose to boost and that would be silly)

Aichi's victory.

Notes
  • Marron and Mirubiru's combo attack is called Bumble Ray.
  • Characters from the world of Cray are shown to speak in katakana rather than hiragana. Basically, this shows that they're “foreign.” Characters from our world speak in hiragana even while assuming the vanguard.
  • Dragon Armored Knight and Aermo's combo attack is called Fire Desire.
  • Guard Gryphon's skill is called Shield Wing.
  • Blaster Blade's counterblast is illustrated very differently from how the anime and later chapters show it. While it's a beam shot across the ground in the anime, and a beam shot from Blaster's blade in most of the manga, here it's shown as an additional attack that Blaster Blade makes on the enemy rearguard. Image is everything!
  • Blaster Blade's attack is called Burst Buster.
