This chapter opens with Hirohito's soliloquy on the beauty of nature. He says that he's reached the point where he can't comprehend the world around him. Akira has released a fang, which means that he has lost the first fight. He's also lost the second fight. The two of them are now in the middle of a battle that will determine the winner and loser for the rest of their lives. They're going to have to use a "battle measurement device" to figure out who's going to win and who'll lose. The narrator points out that the battle is going to be won or lost on the basis of the "absolute final result" , which is the final result of the previous fight. Hirohio is all, "you've always been a bully-ing, detestable cold bastard . get outta here ! but well, but yeah, you still are completely despicable . knock it off . . sorry . akito . for being totally useless . this time . it was really good . bye , and now i'm not even able to give you the garb. it's still not over yet. the wind is blowing and the hammer is still in the air . the crow is still flying away. the truth is, the bird who is happy to not fly does not exist.
