Mikima uses these convicts to attack Katana man and Akane by stating the names of the Katana Man’s crew. This kills both the convicts and her targets.

Kobeni then appears and begins to battle Katana Man and Kane. First, Akane summons the Snake Devil, but Kobeni dodges it. She then runs on the Snake Devil’s tail and can cut off Katana man’s arm. Akane then grabs a gun, but before she can shoot, Kobeni grabs Deni and uses him as a human shield. Finally, Akane pulls Katana Man into a van and flees the scene.
