The episode begins with tensions in the bar: Shizuka shows concern about Kanji's absence in the fight against GRAVEL. Meanwhile, the conflict escalates on the street – despite fierce resistance from Roppo Ichiza and Furin (Sakura, Suo), they are overwhelmed by GRAVEL's superior numbers. A key moment arises when Kanji urges Sakura to return to the bar to protect Shizuka. This highlights Roppo Ichiza's priority: protecting the townspeople over personal glory.

Parallel to this, Shizuka makes a fateful decision: she voluntarily confronts GRAVEL to prevent further fighting. In an emotional monologue, she reveals her past in the Sunaba district and her gratitude toward Keisei Street, where she first found acceptance and love. Her planned self-sacrifice, however, is thwarted by Tsubaki's timely intervention.

Tsubaki takes command and coordinates the defense: she instructs Sakura, Suo, and Nirei to evacuate Shizuka while she herself confronts the GRAVEL leader. Her elegant combat skills and psychological warfare (including a dialogue about makeup as a metaphor for inner strength) demonstrate the power of self-confidence and passion. The episode culminates in Tsubaki's victory over the leader, who scorns her "ridiculous" values (love, dreams).
