The next morning, the men discuss the battle and how well they've done against the gaunas. They've destroyed 107 of them so far, and they're starting to feel better about their chances. They still have a lot of work to do, though, because they haven't seen a single gauna yet. Tanikaze says he's going to stay and learn more about the man, and he'll be back soon. He doesn't know how to use the bladder, so he just wants to pilot the Tsugumori "like mad" . He's not used to the idea of using a bladder, and izana is going to be angry if they don't do something soon. The men discuss how scientist ochimai had originally developed a "gauna-human hybrid" , but now that they have a new one, they can use it as a weapon against the approaching asteroid. They have a long way to go before they reach sidonia, but they'll get there soon.
