Synopsis

Lo Wang and Zilla finally reach Motoko.

Storyline

Having saved Zilla from demons, Lo Wang travels past the Kumo Brotherhood Gates. Zilla speculates, that Motoko was trying to teleport them to the sanctuary, but the spell misfired, because of the Evildoing Dragon draining the worlds chi energy. Before meeting Motoko, Zilla warns Wang to not make any jokes around her as she has even less sense of a humor that he has. Motoko then materializes in front of them. She's not amused by Lo Wang destroying the gates and his remarks about her hair. Realizing, that is too dangerous to leave the mask in Lo Wang's hands, she summons her spirit familiar, the Tanuki in order to separate Wang from Hoji's mask.

As Tanuki grabs the mask and runs away with it, Lo Wang chases after it. Eventually, Tanuki reaches her master's lair, Motoko's Thunderdome. Soon after, the yokai besiege the Thunderdome, forcing Motoko and Lo Wang to work alongside each other to repel the attack. After repelling the yokai attack, the Tanuki brings Hoji's mask to Motoko. As she begins the ritual to consume the power inside the mask, Hoji's immortal soul is awakened from sleep. This scares Tanuki enough, that it hugs Motoko's leg for comfort. Meanwhile, Lo Wang realizes, that Zilla was fully aware of Hoji being still alive and withheld this information from him. Wang decides, that he won't let Hoji die again. He grabs the mask, punches Zilla and runs away. Although Tanuki tries to stop Lo Wang, she easily pushed away by Wang. As Lo Wang runs away, Hoji recognizes his friend.
