The Magical Girls and This Beautiful World
Synopsis: Kurumi is fighting Chisato, who is easily winning their fight. Although Kurumi reveals that she's learned jiu jitsu, it's not enough, and Chisato soon has her pinned. Being beaten so easily triggers traumatic memories of being bullied, which gives Kurumi a second wind, and she injects Chisato with one of her syringes. Meanwhile, Asuka is fighting Geiss, and finds that she can't injure him because of his armour. He launches an attack that seemingly has Asuka pinned underneath a bit of rubble, but it turns out that Asuka only lost an arm. She's realised that he's powered by liquid magic and that if she can find where it is, she can sever his supply which will stop him. For his part, Geiss admits that he admires Asuka, and that back in his village he was hopeful for magical girls to save them. Asuka agrees that the world can be horrible but that it's not all bad and that there are things worth fighting for. Sacchuu reveals that he's worked out where Geiss' liquid magic is. Asuka cuts it, but he's still able to keep going.
