It's always great to remember the good times, isn't it?

This early...?

Are you really coming to get me this early, Erwin?

Are you sure about this?

Episode 1

Pegasus shows up to have a word with his opponent Phoenix Wright and congratulate him that for someone so early in his career to get this chance, it must really be something worthy of praise.

Episode 6

The announcer signals that next up, the current champion Pegasus will address the crowd and the current #1 contender, Potemkin, as well as a surprise opponent. And for the special occasion, Bevi will be joining on commentary, during the match. A lucky opportunity for the audience to witness his words of wisdom.

Pegasus affirms that he will do whatever it takes to win the TFR title, because he fights for what he believes in, for the people he believes in. Unlike The Circus who use Potemkin as a tool, Pegasus fights with his heart, or maybe even two, as there's another person who really gives him his strength. And that's why he fears no circus, no Potemkin, and definitely no surprise opponent.

Suddenly, Erwin's theme starts playing. Pegasus' confident expression drops, and after a moment, he quickly turns his head to the commentators table, where Bevi (and his coincidentally similar entrance theme) still sits. For a moment he's filled with hope, which falls when his opponent turns out to be a surprise hoyman, and all of his hope turns into burning rage.

With their help, Pegasus is able to save the title from a clowning of a future.

Episode 10

Pegasus is an accomplished champion in all senses of the word, but something he isn't is a king, and more than that there was another very important thing missing from him. For that reason, he uses his contacts to enter the NXT's King of /v/ Tournament on an only technically valid category as /dmg/, and by winning, he would be adding another milestone to his long and successful career, and what could be perhaps the last step needed to obtain what is most dear to him...

Then, Hope-boy appears to tell him that from the despair Pegasus finds himself in, soon, a beautiful hope will bloom. Komaeda wants to fight that despair, to win and make a greater despair that'll bring even greater hope, or lose and confirm his hope is already strong enough.

Episode 2

As Pegasus does another monologue, Kotomine Kirei walks in, commending him for his display of cruelty last time around, and guesses that his goals are the same: The Holy Belt. Many have tried, but none have realized what may just be a legend, but Pegasus knows well why he's taking a gamble on it. Backed into a corner, he offers Kirei to be loyal to him were he to defeat him in combat.

Episode 3

After his defeat, Kirei has the right to command him around, and as a good businessman he has to honor a deal. Pegasus accepts his way with words is flawless, but he won't allow the priest to get into his head. Kirei doesn't hide his intentions that with different goals, once they reach the belts, conflict is inevitable, but he hopes to stay in good terms, that is until this planet reaches it's ultimate ruin and he's proud of contributing to that.

Pegasus begs Erwin for forgiveness in sinning and accepting the deal with the priest.

However, Pegasus reconsiders, and takes control of the match by letting the priest get pinned.

Episode 4

Pegasus proves that it was not him who need Kirei, and that he was never in control. If they have become worthy of the belts, only then will they make it to the top.

Kirei interrupts him to inform Pegasus... that he has not forgotten his promise. Pegasus acts high and mighty, but Kirei tells him to think about what he said, and leaves. Pegasus promises that to save Erwin before anything befalls him.

Sminem congratulates Pegasus on the announcement and his booking, and decides to get him an assistant to ease his workload: Mr. Furio Tigre. Pegasus is doubtful of him, but commands him to go and give a contract to the man who can lead the forces against BCW: Erwin Smith.

Furio comes back, but... he claims Sminem thought it wasn't worth it, and hands him the list with the finalized qualifiers competitors. Even more, he found someone better than "that Erwin" to spend the budget on, and goes to fight him in his debut before Pegasus can even respond.

Episode 8

A moment before the final match of the previous broadcast... Furio shows up to tell Pegasus that he just got word from Sminem that any and all Karate-related moves are banned, and that anyone who performs them will be fired on the spot. Furio lying about Sminem again, Pegasus realizes exactly what he needs to do to defeat him: reverse the tactics on him. With free time, Pegasus plans out how he will defeat Furio by targeting those around him, take their souls and turn them into cards. Bevi is his first target, and the rests of his proteges will disappear too. He shall bear his same pain, Pegasus won't rest until all their souls are on his hands. For the sake of Erwin.

Episode 9
Pegasus taunts Furio about being short on wrestlers, but Furio rebutes that it was all his plan to see BCW's pre-picked wrestlers and then announce the matchups. However, Furio panics when Bevi doesn't show up, and decides to put him higher on the card to make up for his delay. Pegasus is glad his attacks have already had an effect.

Later on the night, when Furio is about to pick who will replace Bevi, Pegasus cuts in to say that Akasaka Mamoru will do it, and the ban on Karate is lifted as well. And as he's working harder, he'll have a VIP pass too, if he can win his match. Furio is beyond miffed by this.

At the end of the night after Furio is arrested, Pegasus can rest easy knowing he accomplished his goal.
