EPISODIUM
Steiner faces off against Kuro in a one-on-one match, to the point where the two Tera Guardians were able to show off their Exceed skills and place the match evenly before Steiner was able to subdue Kuro for the count due to his superior skills against her. Despite Kuro and Keita's defeat by Steiner, Excel offers to bring them home with Akane. The two Noble One operatives disclose information regarding the death of Keita's mother when they show a photo of her supposedly in a covert operation conducted in Okinawa under Hiyou's command, bringing Keita bad memories regarding the death of his mother years ago as a child.
