The downed conductor forces the portraits into a new opera-house illusion guarded by giant singers, but Aira and Okarun combine to clear them so Okarun can finish all five in one beat.
Summary
With the conductor struck down, the Music Room Portraits lose their lift and reshape the arena into a vast chorus encircling Okarun and Aira. Aira uses her Acrobatic Silky hair to hoist Turbo Granny upward, spotting the portraits sheltered behind four giants, then wraps her hair around one giant to swing herself and Okarun atop its head. The two dodge a swing from two giants that instead smashes the one beneath them.
Key Events
Still airborne, Aira kicks Okarun toward the portraits and is caught by a giant's blow. Battered but conscious, she steadies herself by recalling Momo's brush with the Evil Eye, then uses her hair to blind the giants and goad them into hitting one another while she slips around them. Okarun, weaving through the explosive notes to close on the portraits, is told by Turbo Granny to wipe them out in a single strike.
Notes
Boasting that her power can land five notes in one beat, Turbo Granny has Okarun deliver a chain of head-butts that hits every musician at once. The chapter continues the Okarun, Aira Shiratori and Turbo Granny versus Music Room Portraits battle, marks the move into Volume 8, and was adapted into Episode 20.
