The council members agree, except Haragiri who mocks Atomic Samurai's plea. Haragiri proceeds to show them the Monster Cells and reveals he had received them from the Monster Association and transforms into a Mysterious Being himself. Nichirin threatens Haragiri, telling Haragiri that if he does not stop his nonsense he will have to get serious, but Haragiri arrogantly continues to ramble.
