Captured is relaxing in the waters of an onsen (hot spring spa). His
fingers have been reattached and the hole in his chest seems to have
been completely healed (his fingers still tingle though.) Manji shows
up to ask how he's doing, and to add comic relief when Camel comes in
wearing a very skimpy swimsuit. Cap pretends to be unaffected by her
outfit, but he suffers massive nosebleeds, anyway.
This chapter is really just a recap, where Manji explains to Cap what
had happened up to this point, and Cap tells us about Spectors. Camel
has been enlisted as a "reader service", and is told to pose in an
appealingly "etchi manner". Manji and Cap give a very mechanical
performance, and Cap gets lost (Manji has to pull out the script and
show Cap where his next line starts.)
Everything is fine (and very silly) until Cap mentions the defeat of
Full Nelson. This brings Manji back to reality, and he gets frightened
about what will happen next. Cap explains that he's trying to change
the world, and didn't have much choice in offing the dirty old man.
Manji counters saying that none of the people on these Land Stars,
including Camel, like humans. Manji continues, describing what Camel
used to be like, and she pulls out a bunch of daggers and prepares to
kill Manji from the background. Moonsault strides in, and announces
to Captured that she has to kill him now. Unfortunately, she's entered
the wrong spring, and is talking to two wrinkled old men.
The South Saint. Somersault is an incredibly beautiful, vicious woman
with a tendancy to wear very tight clothing that makes her look
bird-like. She is also a youki princess, and had taught Moonsault
everything that Moonsault knows. Has pink hair, and purple eyes, in one
of the color drawings of her.
The North Saint. Splash looks like a very attractive young boy (no more
than 15.) He has light-colored hair, regal-robes and clothing, and ear
ring studs in both ears. Later on, he is shown to be a Spect Master.
A big, drunk priest with lines tattooed on his bald head. Wears long
flowing robes, and walks around barefoot. In fact, he is a Spect Master
sent to kill Captured. He is a level 18 Spect Master, and his Spector
is a very nasty-looking fanged robot named "Roar".
