Cold open[]

Teams Flora and Undine charge the Armadillo awakened. But he launches extensible quills, springing out in all directions.[7]

Armadillo[]

Quill attack[]

The quills hit six warriors. Four warriors are still unscathed—Flora, Undine, Deneve and Clare. They try to counterattack, but his hide is too tough to penetrate. He then backs away.[8]

Yoma power surge[]

He uses a technique, resembling Galatea's, to make Undine cuts her throat. But he succeeds only in making Undine cut her cheeks. But then he tries to awaken her by surging her Yoma power.[9]

Briefly, Undine resists, but begins to awaken. Her bulging muscles bursts apart her uniform. Deneve kicks Undine back to safety.[10]

Insectile[]

New tactic[]

Teams Jean and Veronica continue fighting the Insectile awakened. Only Jean, Veronica, Cynthia and Helen are left standing. They improvise a new tactic.[11]

While Veronica and Cynthia distract Insectile, Helen uses her extensible arm to hold fast his legs.[12]

Drill attack[]

On the street below, Jean twists her arm and using a propeller variant of Drill Sword, jumps toward the awakened. The blade whirls about like a helicopter, chopping off Insectile's legs, rendering him immobile and defenseless.[13]

Scene 053a
Drill Sword

Veronica and Cynthia deliver the coup de grace by chopping up the legless torso.[14]

Starting over[]

Deneve and Clare again confront Armadillo.[15]
