The Light Blazes Brightly, But for Just an Instant Rakuro continues rescuing NPCs to fill his hero bar, revealing victory can also be obtained by exchanging a full hero or villain bar for a Chaos Cube. Rakuro encounters Megumi who sacrifices her villain bar to destroy the ground under his feet, but Rakuro predicts the attack and sacrifices his hero bar for an attack that drops Megumi's health by 50%. She attempts to flee to recharge her villain bar, but Rakuro follows and cuts her head off. Rakuro realizes Megumi fights like Arthur and Katzo, whereas Megumi realizes Rakuro fights like Sylvia. Katzo ponders changing his own tactics to beat Sylvia. Megumi is astounded when Arthur defeats Rakuro by causing a mob of frightened NPCs to swarm him asking for help, limiting his movements so she could crush the whole group with him in it. Rakuro and Arthur childishly assume Megumi has a crush on Katzo. Katzo asks for a duel but insists Rakuro use the character Metius, a hero that moves at super speeds but isn't very strong. Katzo chooses Armed Lava, another hero who can produce flaming projectiles and has arm amour that burns on contact. Despite being at a disadvantage, Rakuro wins the duel with superior agility. Katzo is disappointed Armed Lava can't defeat Metius, revealing that at a previous GGC match he used Armed Lava whilst Sylvia used Metius.
