Summary

The moment they win free of the cursed trunk, the yokai brands Okarun, Rokuro, and Vega cowards, calling it shameful to be beaten by sheer numbers. As they flee, Okarun admits he cannot become Turbo Granny again after going All-Out twice, Vega frets over finding Unji, and Rokuro chides them both for being so useless. Brushing past introductions, Saint-Germain appears beside Okarun and proposes they team up against the card. Rokuro recognizes him at once and questions why he is there, while Okarun gawks at Rin in her odd costume. Spotting Unji sprawled and badly hurt, Vega runs to his limp body and desperately tries to wake him.

Deep in his mind, Unji stands beside Futa until his brother runs to their parents and waves goodbye. Accepting it with a smile and turning away, Unji wakes to Vega's shouts, tells him to be quiet, and swears he won't die, flooding Vega with relief as he clutches his hand and promises they will go home. Once the yokai regrows the eye card that Rokuro's particle beam had wrecked, Saint-Germain urges the two of them to hit the paired cards simultaneously, then asks whether Okarun can summon his power. Puzzled at how Saint-Germain knows about it, Okarun lets the question drop, remembers Momo is trapped in the trunk, and wrenches out Turbo Granny's power regardless of the damage to his body. Saint-Germain hands Okarun the face card while giving Rokuro the eye card, telling him to wait for the signal. Unji surprises the card, thought dead, by calling out an umbrella, which pushes the yokai to try controlling itself to flee. But Unji shrugs off the corruption tied to his mother, insisting he could never hate her for all she did to protect their family. Furious at his immunity, the card is waved off by Saint-Germain, who urges everyone to ignore its taunts and attack together. Their combined strike, led by Saint-Germain with Okarun, Rokuro, and Unji, shatters every card at once and finishes the Fairy-Tale Card, with Okarun rushing in steeled by his resolve for Momo.
