Meanwhile Hitoshi is concerned that the warden will find out about their daily cell escapes. Later he is called to the warden’s office where he explains personally why the inmates are not trying to escape the prison – the conditions are better than the other prisons. 3 3 “Another Idiot Has Come!!”

The guards set up an intercom and Musashi reveals that he wants to kill the man with the scar on his neck but they have disabled his flame ability. He reveals that the man promised to help him deal with his innate power of fire, but just experimented on him instead then disposed of him when he had the information. Hajime accuses Jyugo of having no greed or ambition to achieve anything, and that the transforming shackles are the only things that make him different. He then accuses Jyugo of behaving like a spoiled brat and Jyugo breaks down and agrees. He tells Jyugo that as tournament winner he can have what he wants, and gives Jyugo 5 minutes to decide. Meanwhile his cellmates discuss all the things they would do if they were released.

Kenshirou reveals to Musashi that when he was a police officer he conducted his own investigation into the illegal experiments. His reports were rejected, however he still plans to expose the truth. Meanwhile Uno implements his plan to create a game room with the assistance of the other tournament competitors. Hajime says he will only let the inmates use the room for 1 hour per day, much to their dismay and protested for longer sessions. Jyugo is despondent because of his lack of social skills, but Uno offers to help him socialise.

Elf attacks and cuts Jyugo with magical knives. He accuses Jyugo of escaping with property that does not belong to him, namely the hand shackles that can turn to long blades, and regrets not killing Jyugo sooner. Elf then prepares to remove part of Jyugo’s brain, but Jyugo manages to convert one of his shackles to a sword and frees himself. Elf says his aim is to check on Jyugo’s status and select another inmate for their experiments. He then departs, vowing to return. The next night Jyugo and his cellmates escape again, but are caught at the boundary by Hajime. Jyugo hopes that by leaving, Elf will follow him and leave the others alone. Hajime and Jyugo engage in a titanic fight, but the Cell 13 inmates intervene and stop them, not wanting Jyugo to leave. Jyugo eventually decides to stay, and protect his cellmate friends in Nanba rather than leave.
