Summary

Unable to make sense of the giant alien looming over him, the Evil Eye gets orders from Aira, who is busy dodging the rifle suit alien, to strike it down, along with a rare one-time pass to fight someone besides Okarun. He keeps his word instead, drifting off to wonder about dinner. When Aira shouts that nobody returns home until the suited aliens fall, he turns just as the vibration suit alien unfolds six cylinder-tipped mechanical arms. A flurry of blows and a wide laser beam drop him. Distracted, Aira is knocked by the rifle suit alien onto the electric shield, then bombarded with missiles, leaving her too hurt to keep going.

Key Events

With both fighters down, the missile suit alien steps out of his suit, exposing an octopus pilot, and marvels that the clash ended within three minutes, though he urges his allies to relocate before danger arrives. He reasons that the planet's heavy moisture rules out lasers and guesses its strong-bodied people owe that to intense gravity. Spotting Aira's Acrobatic Silky hair weaving a dome over the pair, the rifle suit alien blasts through it only to find them already gone. Certain they remain near, the octopus pilot climbs back inside and runs a life-sign scan, yet only white orbs register, so he calls for the surrounding Empty Space stretch of Kamigoe City to be flattened.

Notes

A received signal forces the suited aliens to abandon Kamikoshi City for other duties, collapsing the Empty Space. Crawling out through the sewers beside the Evil Eye, Aira drops to the ground spent, fighting to stay conscious long enough to warn the others about these foes. Printed in Volume 10 and tied to both the Space Globalists Arc and the Kintama Hunt Saga, the chapter dropped on November 8, 2022. It logs the brawl pitting Jiji and Aira Shiratori against the trio of Takonoka Ru Patcho, Suda Ko, and Ta Komeshi, and ends with Okarun bracing for Hastur's crew.
