In 1986, after learning the truth behind Maya and Otoya hiding it from her, Yuri encounters the Fangire queen and resolves to kill her until Otoya tries to stop her. Later, Maya takes Yuri's place in the picnic Otoya planned as she promises not to fight her. When Otoya leave, he is briefly encountered by the King, who witnessed the man's meeting with Maya before he resumes his hunt for the Arms Monsters, offering to spare their lives if they kill Otoya for him. While this occurs, Yuri finally finds Maya and challenges her in Ixa form, with the Fangire managing to defeat her without fighting her. In 2008, after coming to his senses in the aftermath when the Bishop causes his Fangire nature to surface, Wataru runs off in horror of what he almost done to Megumi. After Kengo reports of what occurred, Shima scolds Nago as he explains that Wataru's torn heart might do the job of killing the young man for them, though he secretly wants to help Wataru.
