Episode Title:
Buckets of Blood! Opera that Stirs the Heart.
Episode Description:
When Michiko goes to pick up the fake passports she requested from Pidan, the leader of a Chinese syndicate named Heike, she finds out that she was pickpocketed on the way there. Michiko tries to take the passports without pay, but is captured by Eduardo and Wen. Meanwhile, after failing to find Michiko while roaming the streets, Hatchin is taken in by a Chinese opera singer named Nei Feng-Yi. When Nei leaves to go search for Michiko, Nei's daughter Bebel Feng-Yi brags to Hatchin about how Nei is a great opera singer and a kindhearted father. In the Heike headquarters, Xinsque soon asks Eduardo and Wen to help him find Satoshi, to which the two agree on friendly terms. On the roof, Nei later asks Eduardo and Wen to free Michiko, but he first must agree to a challenge. As he is blindfolded and tied to a rope with Michiko in tow, Nei runs across a steel beam off of the roof to decide his fate. Michiko manages to break free while pulling Nei up onto the steel beam, thereby completing the challenge. After receiving the passports, Michiko and Nei reunite with Hatchin and Bebel outside the opera house. Michiko initially scolds Hatchin for not staying where she told her to, but relents when Hatchin embraces her in a hug.
