In the midst of desperation, Cestvs takes a chance on a one-in-a-million punch. His punch is effective, and he achieves victory over Emden. The mob calls for Emden's death, but Sabina convinces them to settle down. She then tells Emden that this is goodbye. The victor secures his survival only once he has shattered the hope of his opponent with his own fists... The victory weighs heavily on Cestvs. Meanwhile, Zafar finds it odd that both Emden's special technique and the technique he taught Cestvs have the same goal as well as name and goes to visit Emden. What truth will be revealed there?
As a last resort, I uncharacteristically 
prayed to the gods.
دعوتُ الربّ كملاذٍ أخير، بخلاف طبيعتي
Und letztendlich, obwohl mir zuwider,
betete ich gar zu den Göttern.
Como último recurso, rogué a los dioses.
Como último recurso, rogué a los dioses.
À bout de nerfs,
j’ai prié les dieux.
Alla fine, nonostante non lo facessi mai,
decisi di pregare gli dei.
Encurralado, diferente do que
sempre fiz, rezei aos deuses.
Отчаявшись, я, вопреки обыкновению,
помолился.
