●Domon’s battle:
Lone Fox Seeking Defeat: “Hmph! Hmph! Hmph!!!!”
Domon: “Gah!!!………”
Lone Fox Seeking Defeat continues to beat the God Gundam.
Lone Fox Seeking Defeat: “How do you like this?! Will you still defy me?! Do you still want my fists?!”
Domon: “Th-this isn’t over yet!! Uggh!! Ggh!!”
Lone Fox Seeking Defeat: “Why, you! You!! You DISGRACE to our school!!!!!!!”
Domon is at a one-sided disadvantage.

Rain watches impatiently.
Rain: “What’s going on? Domon?”
The God Gundam throws a punch, but it misses Lone Fox Seeking Defeat.
Rain: “His punches still don’t land……… and…”
His fist just barely doesn’t hit.
Rain: “They’re all being narrowly avoided………”
Sure enough, Lone Fox Seeking Defeat just barely dodges.
Rain: “But……… maybe… the answer lies there??”
X X X
Domon and Lone Fox Seeking Defeat exchange blows.
Lone Fox Seeking Defeat: “Hmph! Hmph! Hmph!!!!” Domon: “Guh!!!………”
X X X
Rain: “Huh………??”
Rain notices something.

Domon and Lone Fox Seeking Defeat continue fighting.
Lone Fox Seeking Defeat: “Hmph! Hmph! Hmph!!!!”
Domon: “Ugh!!!………”

Furthermore, the corner post approaches in the sky above Neo Hong Kong.

Schwarz and the other Fighters breathlessly watch the situation.
Fighters: “Th-……… this is bad………”
Schwarz: “We surely…… don’t have enough time………”
Seeming impatient, Schwarz approaches Rain.
Schwarz: “How is it going, Rain!?! Have you found Lone Fox Seeking Defeat’s weakness?!”
Rain: “Possibly!!”
Schwarz: “Hurry up!!”
Rain: “Yes, I know!! I’m trying something now!!”
Rain sends controls to the God Gundam.
X X X
Domon checks the cockpit signal.
Domon: “A signal came in! So, what should I do?!”
Rain: “I’m sorry! I still wasn’t able to open the circuit for the God Gundam’s armaments after all! Instead, I was able to open a pseudo-line that should allow you to use Shining Finger just once! But, before you use it, there’s something I want to try!!”
Domon: “Got it!”
Rain: “Alright, just hit your opponent!!”
Domon: “But, Lone Fox Seeking Defeat can avoid it!!”
Rain: “It’s okay! Just do it!!”
Domon: “Alright then!!”
The God Gundam throws a punch at the Gundam Master Lone Fox.
Lone Fox Seeking Defeat: “I told you it’s no use……… Ugh!!”
As she’d just begun to speak, at that moment the God Gundam lands a direct hit to Gundam Master Lone Fox’s right shoulder.
Domon: “I hit her?? But how??”
Domon looks at his own fist, amazed.
Lone Fox Seeking Defeat: “Hah! Can’t you see it was just a lucky shot?!”
Lone Fox Seeking Defeat protectively holds her shoulder. Then she rushes on Domon.
Lone Fox Seeking Defeat: “Why, you! You! Lowest-rank novice, you defy me!!”
Domon: “Shut up!!”
Again, Domon throws a punch at Lone Fox Seeking Defeat. This time, it hits the Gundam Master Lone Fox in the stomach.
Lone Fox Seeking Defeat: “Gghh!!”
Domon: “I hit her!! I hit her again!!”
Domon unleashes one punch after another.
Domon: “Well then, take this! How do you like this one!!?”
Lone Fox Seeking Defeat: “!!!!!”
All of the punches are a direct hit, and Lone Fox Seeking Defeat is continuously beaten down.

The Shuffles and all of the crew are watching the scene.
Sai Saici: “Wooooow, the tables have turned!!”
Bunny: “Hey, Rain? How the heck did you do that??”
Rain: “Well, I realized while watching Lone Fox Seeking Defeat’s avoidance of Domon’s punches.”
~Insert~
She is just barely able to avoid the God Gundam’s fist.
Rain: “Of course, the punches didn’t land……… but it was always just barely……… No more than necessary.”
Zuisen & Keiun: “But, that’s a technique only an expert can master.”
Rain: “No, that’s not what was happening.”
Raymond: “Huh?”
Rain: “While listening to Lone Fox’s story earlier, I was thinking……… She hasn’t piloted a mobile fighter since she cut off her own arm……… Additionally, this must be the first time she’s piloted that white Master Gundam.”
Nastasha: “I see!! A one-armed person can’t pilot that thing!!”
Rain: “Since she lost an arm, there must be various changes in balance! Of course, the cockpit system is taking this into account!”
Shirley: “But the essential part, the pilot Lone Fox Seeking Defeat doesn’t know that!!”
Rain: “So that gives rise to a discrepancy with the gundam’s movements!”
Rain watches the Gundam Master Lone Fox’s movements.
Rain: “Just slight……… only a slight discrepancy……… a discrepancy only a master would have.”
Shirley: “That’s the reason behind the near misses!”
Rain: “So I shifted the God Gundam’s movements by just the same amount as the opponent’s! By doing that, the misalignment is canceled out and Domon’s punches should land!!”
Domon’s fists just barely catch up to Lone Fox Seeking Defeat.
Rain: “And in contrast to his thought-out hits which were avoided, Domon’s technique now is instinctive punches!! Without a second thought, he just keeps attacking single-mindedly!!”
Nastasha: “So now, he’s completely—!!”
Rain: “Going at it headlong!!”
Domon continues hitting Lone Fox Seeking Defeat.
Lone Fox Seeking Defeat: “Why?!! Why are this guy’s punches hitting me?! I’m sure I’m dodging!!”
Lone Fox Seeking Defeat endures the force of consecutive punches.
Schwarz: “Now! Domon’s punches are an improvisation of sorts! In contrast, Lone Fox Seeking Defeat can’t help but view Domon’s punches as those of a practitioner of the same school.”
Nastasha: “So Lone Fox Seeking Defeat, who values the style of the school, can’t read him!”
Schwarz: “They say a tactician gets lost in their tactics, but here it’s more accurate to say a master of a school gets lost in their school!!”
Rain: “And if he becomes empty-headed by pushing ahead with reckless abandon...!! His punches completely—!!”
Domon delivers countless punches.
Domon: “—Become punches of MEIKYOU SHISUI!!!!!!!!”
Lone Fox Seeking Defeat: “!!!!!!!!”
Lone Fox Seeking Defeat is sent flying by Domon’s fist.
Rain: “Now!!”
Schwarz: “Finish her off, Domon!!”
Domon: “Of course!!!!!”
Domon readies his fist. The King of Hearts crest glows.
Domon: “This hand of mine shines and roars!!
Its bright cry tells me to defeat you!!!!!!!
Finishing move!
Shining! Finger!!!!!!!!!!”
Domon drives his Shining Finger into Gundam Master Lone Fox.
