Summary
In The Moja, Avakian is playing the recording he made earlier at The Lighthead Temple. Shimada Death and Hajime Damemaru are particularly fascinated by what they hear. Shimada remarks that it is like the first ever language created in this universe while Damemaru brings up the concept of Zolar. Shimada explains that it is said to be the center and end of the universe and how something unknown exists there.

Everybody starts thanking and praising Damemaru for his help to which he is silent. Both Avakian announces that he will be temporarily going out of commission for maintenance. Sanko also wishes Shimada a good night rests but is told not to trust Damemaru as despite the fact that he says he's 16, Shimada's ability, Age-Knower, is completely ineffectual on him.

Later, Sanko sees Moja incapacitated on the ground and, panic-stricken, asks him what happened. Moja explained that Damemaru shut him down and flew off into the neighbouring ship. Sanko gives chance and ends up defeating Damemaru in a fight, crushing his head in the process.

Damemaru, with his head still regenerating from being crushed, profusely apologizes for all of his earlier actions. After Damemaru requests to continue with them on The Moja in order to study Zolar, Sanko wonders if he should be given another chance.
