Gatts practices more on his sword techniques with the help of Godo’s little daughter Erika. Then he finds out about what happened to the Hawks and Griffith.
Gatts returns in time to save the remaining Hawks from annihilation. Caska is angry at him, then tries to kill herself in frustration, but Gatts stop him. He and Caska become romantically involved.
