Gordias takes an early lead over Persona as Karla and then Reiyu both beat Robin, who is shaken by Reiyu's earlier "curse." Karla admits she sent Reiyu to test Robin as Persona's leader on Blaze's behalf, and Tenka debunks the curse as a psychological trick. Multi steps in to stop Tenka from fighting the next round herself.
