Casshern and the others meet a trio of robotic children. Ringo makes friends with one of them, a mute robot named Holter. When the three kids return to their home, which happens to be an important location, they bump into Dio and Leda, and Leda pretends to be nice to them in order to glean information about Luna. Leda then attacks the children upon seeing the glass tanks where Luna was said to be born, when Casshern intervenes to fight her. Just as Leda is about to critically injure Casshern, Dio appears and reminds her that he should be the one to kill Casshern.
