- Shiryu backstabs and mortally injures Mihawk off-panel.
- With his dying breath, Mihawk gives Yoru to some fodder character, trusting for the sword to be delivered to Roronoa Zoro, whom Mihawk himself declares WSS; Shiryu's cheapshot was not, in Mihawk's eye, a sign of supreme swordsmanship.
- This sets up a fight between He-Who-Killed-the-WSS and He-Who-Was-Called-WSS-by-the-WSS.
- Zoro vs Shiryu becomes portrayal (title) vs feats.
