In Episode 47, Sunraku delves deeper into the battle game Galaxia Heroes: Chaos, a game where players take on the roles of heroes or villains and fill special gauges—the Heroic Gauge for heroes and the Villainic Gauge for villains—through role-appropriate actions. These gauges allow players to activate Ultimates or secure the Chaos Cube, an alternative victory mechanism that bypasses direct combat.

Sunraku first encounters Megumi, who is playing as Yggdrya, a plant-manipulating villainess. Using traps like Trap Seed and her ultimate move Green Ground Zero, she tries to push Sunraku onto the defensive. However, Sunraku skillfully analyzes the linear attack patterns of her plant-based abilities, evades her ultimate with the help of the Old Bones Leap skill, and forces her to retreat through precise counters.

Next, Kei challenges Sunraku to a duel. Kei chooses Armed Lava, a hero with lava limbs that enhance melee attacks and enable projectile attacks like Molten Shot. Sunraku switches to Metius, an agile hero who bypasses the lava mechanics with quick jumps and wall runs. The battle escalates as Sunraku tests Kei's defense with a risky Oblique Toe Kick, but the fight is interrupted when Kei analyzes Sunraku's unpredictable style and draws parallels to Sylvia Goldberg, a legendary player.

Flashbacks also reveal the tactics of Towa Amane, who defeated Sunraku in an earlier match through brutal strategies—including deliberately endangering NPCs to distract him. These insights highlight the diversity of gameplay mechanics and the moral depths enabled by villain roles.

The episode culminates in strategic preparations: Kei and Megumi plan to use the insights gained from Sunraku's fighting style to prepare against the top team Star Rain, led by Sylvia Goldberg.
