Vector the Victor.Marin's attempt to defeat Vector fails when he activates a hidden effect of Don Thousand's Throne, protecting himself from damage and allowing him to Rank-Up Manipulator of Souls into Chaos Number 43: High Manipulator of Chaos. From his prison, Nash begs Vector to spare Marin and kill him instead, but he is horrified when Vector decides to kill Marin. Vector then uses the abilities of High Manipulator of Chaos to defeat Marin. Before disappearing, Marin's spirit appears to Nash, telling him to live on without her and become stronger. Then, Vector absorbs Marin's and Dumon's souls, along with their power. Meanwhile, Alito summons Number 64: Ronin Raccoon Sandayu, freeing Ponta from Girag's body and he activates the counter trap Last Counter to power up Sandayu. Then, Sandayu destroys Giant Red Hand, allowing Girag to recover his true memories, and freeing him from Don Thousand's influence. However, Alito loses his last life points from the effects of Last Counter, and disappears as a result, leaving behind his soul, which is absorbed by Girag. Girag declares that he will never forgive Vector or Don Thousand for what they did. Just then, Vector attacks Yuma with High Manipulator of Chaos, but Girag sacrifices himself to protect Yuma. As a result, Vector is able to absorb the souls of Girag and Alito, along with Ponta's, giving Vector even more power. Enraged by Marin's death, Nash breaks out of his imprisonment, regains his Barian form, and goes to confront Vector. This causes Vector to leave Yuma and head back to Barian World. Meanwhile, Kite lands on the Moon and discovers various stone tablets that rise from its surface, but he is confronted by Mizar. Kite begins to explain his research on the legend of the Galaxy-Eyes Dragons, revealing that the battle mentioned in the legend was actually a ritual necessary for breaking a spell cast by the original Galaxy-Eyes Dragon, which was responsible for creating the Numeron Code. Kite also reveals that the winner of the duel between the two Galaxy-Eyes users would break the spell, and obtain the key to use the Numeron Code itself. Then, Kite and Mizar commence their duel.
