Yoka wakes up to find herself in Ikebukuro, now transformed beyond recognition. Elsewhere, Shizuru and the others, still on their journey, run into a familiar face.
—the one who greeted you was none 
other than myself, Pontaro!
!كان أنا بشحمي ولحمي من استقبلك وقتها
Derjenige, der Euch begrüßte, war ich,
niemand anderes als Pontarō!
Fui yo mismo, Pontaro, quien la recibió.
Fui yo mismo, Pontaro, quien la recibió.
C’est moi
qui suis allé à votre rencontre !
Sono stato io, Pontaro, ad accoglierla!
—quem a recebeu aqui não foi
ninguém menos que eu, Pontaro!
...Радушнее всех вас приветствовал
именно я, Понтаро!
