Serious.Licht engages in a Star Stake with Sonohara, and Licht is shot in the chest several times. A red power violently erupts from Licht, increasing the count on his sword to 57,000, and he begins moving so fast Sonohara cannot see him. Nana reveals that Licht has been taken over by an evil alternate personality called Schmelman. Schmelman defeats Sonohara and her count drops to 16,000, causing Nana to suspect Sonohara had also been under the influence of an evil personality. Based on her knowledge of Licht's past Nana explains Sonohara was actually the kindest of the Aces who never killed anyone, but someone must have drugged her to fight Licht, hoping Schmelman would emerge. Hina desperately hugs him so Schmelman almost kills her, but Sonohara saves her...
