Jikaku (自覚)

Zushiohmaru's backstory is explained as he inadvertently ran away from home when he chased a dog he loved. Professor Sumida, who was doing research on the SCM, found him and adopted him. One day, Sumida's colleague Sanegaya drugged him and stole Sumida's research leading him to quit his job as a professor. Zushiohmaru puts on the SCM to get revenge on Sanegaya, but he hasn't met him since. On the next day, Yuuga meets the crazy person, Fujiko Taito, and she drugs him with a substance that gets him to unconsciously challenge her to a duel where the loser is the one who sees their mother first. Yuuga is tied up prompting her mother to see him, thus making Fujiko the winner. That night, Yuuga is challenged to a game of Rock, Paper, Scissors by a masked person, who is revealed to be Eia after beating him in the duel. Eia has since put on the SCM in order to free the slaves that have been taken control by the device, starting with Yuuga.
