Summary

As he lies there, he wonders how he could have been defeated, Symoor remembers when he had fought in the last Harakayai Tournament. He had shown promise as a fighter and despite his skills and cunning, was destined for failure since he applied. He then thinks about Blu, and how he persevered and beat him. Meanwhile, Rami, Naran, and Kakia questions how Blu won. Kanicho explains that he was able to form a technique to counter Symoor's as well as the limited amount of plant life to utilize in the arena, saying those are the reasons Blu won. Hitzuguja scoffs this off and Maxim sarcastically congratulates him.
