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

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.

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.

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.

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.

TFR logo.pngde 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

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.
