After seeing what darkness Toga is capable of in the heat of battle, Eiji quits the Gran Knights and leaves the castle to return to a normal life. Leele ventures to town to convince Eiji to come back. Two pilots down, Gravion must operate with its auto-pilot taking up the slack when the Zeravire attack.

The Earthgultz members are worried about Leele. Toga in particular is berating himself becuase he always seems to hurt the people around him through his own carelessness and inability to understand their feelings. Zelabaia attacks while Toga is still upset, and his agitation keeps Gravion from functioning properly, making it flounder in battle.
