Story
Nine begins to explain the history, powers, and abilities of the Regalia, including how one can be acquired. When she informs the group that the special Ogdoad’s Divinity Coins were “pried from the gate,” and are in the empire’s hands, Kanae, Flayvus, and Jinsei are visibly shocked. Kanae exclaims, “Pry them off the gate, are you kidding me?!” When Nine sees the group’s distress, she quickly suggests that they move on. She also explains to a confused Jinsei the reason why Saz’s regalia changed in the previous episode— he upgraded it.

When Kanae asks why her friend Katsurou is trapped in a coin, Nine informs her that Katsurou is the Momiji Coin. When Kanae tries to confront Jinsei about this, he tells her that “[he and Katsurou] were by the Cape of Spirits"  when a flashing light appeared and Katsurou mysteriously transformed into a coin in Jinsei’s palm.

Jinsei tells an aggravated Kanae that “it’s not like I have a clearer idea of what’s going on than the two of you do.” Kanae is still angry, but Flayvus convinces her to follow Nine and Jinsei.

The group heads to Flayvus’s ship only to realize that the hypercompressor must be replaced for the ship to function. Flayvus then tells Jinsei and Kanae that they will have to go to the market together to buy a new hypercompressor.
