Ushering forth a new era of peace and prosperity amongst the wrestlers of TCR.

But after the events of the Death Game that took the lives of many in TFR, can this peace truly last forever... Or will it crumble into an unending ocean of fear?

Story
After defeating the curse of Black Ref and getting rid of that annoying Cirno.

Episode 1
Naegi Makoto shows up to TCR and is shown the ropes around by El Loco Bandito and James Sunderland. Meanwhile, Manager and Spigot retire to run TCR as General Manager and Consultant.

Naegi is told about the tragedy of TFR that happened recently, an while a fierce battle begins for Manager and Spigot's titles, now vacant, Angela has trouble adapting to her now human body, as she learns of "Sleeping", and collapses after not doing that for several weeks. In her sleep, she faces terrible and bizarre guilt-ridden dreams.

Returning from TFR's "Flying" City, KingO' Ingurland comes back with Dimitri Blaiddyd, who has been freed from Kirei, and Travis Touchdown, who was recently knighted by the king himself.

The tournament for the titles beings, and in an interview by Spigot, Wakka affirms his dislike for Manager's "Machina".

The phone rings in the GM Office and Spigot answers, with what is being said being "Bonjour" "He bought?" "Doomp et"

Episode 2
While Naegi, Sunderland, and El Loco talk about the people who were MIA since the raid on LC, when suddenly, Q-Taro appears. Meanwhile, Roland meets Norman Jayden, who joins to investigate unusual activities since the TFR BANS incident.

Q-taro explains how he and Hitonari, Kenshiro and Visconti were fighting the Abnos, until Ace got devoured by one, Ken got hit by falling debris, and cornered with Tadano, he tried to escape through a vent but got stuck, until finally making it free recently. He still thinks the fighting is going, until Ken appears saying he made it out of the rubble when he was already gone and has been looking since, Hitonari also survived by negotiating with the abnos, and Ace falls from a ceiling vent.

Travis Touchdown is shown the medical area by Luis Sera, while they find THE HEAVY IS DAED and Dallas trying to revive him. They conclude that Heavy is being possessed by an Abnormality.

In the tournament, Heart of Marth and Winds of Destruction make it to finals, with The Winds winning.

Angela overhears Bateman and Alice talking about her actions, and becomes filled with self-doubt. Meanwhile, Travis settles in his room and calls someone he left at TFR, who decides to visit too.

Episode 3
Sundowner and Monsoon practice with the EGO weapons they got from L Corp and try to give war another chance, meanwhile Angela and Manager are left with running Britannia after Ingurland returns to TFR to represent his nation. The Winds appear to suggest upgrading Britannia's arsenal with EGO, but Manager initially refuses. After being reminded of the incident at TFR, he concedes to also training with Abnos, and has Gebura oversee them, albeit with some lingering doubt.

Nier complains to Manager about some "prank" cast on him by producers, to which Manager thinks they must've been left from Pitchford's time.

Angela has another guilt-ridden dream about her actions, with Manager, Carmen, and herself punishing her for what she did. Afterwards, she tells her dream to Roland, and her doubts about herself, her position in LC helping power Britannia, and her wild emotions.

Spigot answers the phone again, and the voice syas "Yorokobe Shonen". Spigot translates it with his Dicktionary and answers "ANO DAISHI SEITO O ANARUREIPU SURU TSUMORI WA NAKKATA!"

Sunderland, Naeegi, and El Loco discuss getting a letter to a special conference, when Roland appears and veers the discussion into who will be fighting Angela. After he leaves, they head for the conference. When they arrive, they notice the strange aura of the room, and meet with some other people invited. Harold Lott, Guts and Ushiromiya George discuss the similarity to the other incident. Gadget arrives with an upbeat aura, but quickly turns sour upon seeing El Loco, Gamer Wizard cuts their dialogue to announce his presence. Kunt, Travelling Knight and Potion Seller think of it as a poor joke, and bicker between themselves. The Whizzard and Jon Arbuckle meet with Gamer Wizard, and Midge aggresively asks for some steps to stand on, to which Soldier reacts equally. Dyatlov and Quint argue theories. While this happens, the door suddenly locks and a deep mist begins to appear, soon everyone starts to falter, until Naegi is left hitting the door without response until he, too, falls too.

Elsewhere, a clock moves it hand to 1, signalling Chris. "Of all the fruit of the garden, they sought the one, the forbidden."

Episode 3.33
Tidus and Wakka discuss the crazy fog that appeared last night, since the ship is passing through The Bermudas, and the possibility they vanish.

Lain shows up while Travis is talking with Luka and Alice, and challenges her to a match. Meanwhile Angela gets "advice" from Spigot, which is questionable in nature, but she still gets a meaning out of it.

Episode 4
Naegi wakes up in a dark room similar to the one he was last in, when a mocking voice suddenly makes itself known, and queries him to wake the others up while the "main event" is set up.

With everyone now woken up, the voice commands them to find a tape in the room, and put it on the VHS.

Meanwhile, Ugly Bastard and Rapeman discuss their new franchises, the former having set up "NTR Idol Agency", and the latter "Rakeman's Rakes and Hoes", and how much better they are since being dissociated with TCR. They talk about their Boss being "on that other place" and Bastard having sent an old friend from his real estate days to scout TCR out.

In TCR, Manager blocks Eri's path to give her a threat if she were to do "anything" to Angela, not only a professional by firing her, but a personal one. Binah comments on Manager's strangely violent behavior, but he deflects to it being what almost anyone else would do to Eri, and tells Binah he's gonna request something from Yesod. While Eri is preparing for her match, Bateman confronts her about her decision to punish Angela, and states that since doing that would fuck with his rematch against Manager, she should reconsider what's best for business, but she ignores his advice.

Back in the fog, the wrestlers plug the TV and insert the tape, however the video is broken and only audio comes out; audio that announces the one and only: OPkuma! The doll climbs out of the busted TV and makes an offer, an offer that involves YOU; the doll introduces itself as the mascot of the greatest show in the universe, The Final Rumble, and offers to play a game not even the higher ups in TFR know about; a game of mystery, friendship and deathly wrestling: Dimes Camp! OPkuma denies knowledge of any skeleton named BANS. He also mentions some rules will be set in place, and those who break them will be punished accordingly.

In TCR, Norman Jayden investigates about possible BANS connections, when Sera and Akasaka enter the room wondering where Sunderland is, and hoping he would make it to his match.

Before Angela's match, Manager acts overprotective of her, with her reassuring she can do it on her own. Eri, after losing the match, tries to take revenge on her with a chair, but before she can cross the door, Bateman and Bug Show show up to defend the biz, meanwhile on the other side of the door, the celebrating koreans hear the scuffle and Manager enters. Big Show "lets her go" against the TV in the locker room while Bateman commentates it will come out of her paycheck, and they leave; meanwhile Manager asks Hokma to rewind the TV to fix it, only for Manager to spear Eri into it again. Akasaka enters to ask Manager if he knows about Sunderland's whereabouts, and they notice others have been missing as well.

Somewhere, in OPkuma's room, he observes everything through several monitors, and addresses someone looking at the audience...

And so, the clock ticks 2, signaling Leon's name. How much is a life worth for those that crave it?

Episode 4.44
The next day, TCR's Guest and his girlfriend take a tour at the facility and experience an abstract architectual nightmare where things don't make any sort of sense. Meanwhile, during the night before E4.44, Dagoth Ur evens the score with Yugi by putting him in his place by smashing Yugi Motou over a table with in Manager's office. Doing this, Dagoth Ur accidentally foils a conspiracy to assassinate Angela by waiting to ambush Angela and sticking a magnet onto her and instantly short her out under the assumption that she is still a machine.

Elsewhere, Daisaku Kuze finds out that the federation his old friend has sent him to is filled to the brim with cops. Haru and Akasaka go out to solve a case and Dimitri and Byleth team up.
