The God of Death took the championship!
Everyone thought Gou had intentionally thrown the match to the God of Death. But only Gou knew that, during the finals, the God of Death had been playing haphazardly without a care, and ended up so disoriented that he couldn't find his bearings.
Even Gou wondered whether it was the Badge of Hope, that damned thing, still working its effect after being taken off?
"Woof woof woof... I feel terrible! Impossible!"
Gou lay under his station, on the ground, barking loudly, eyes shut, howling in bewilderment – he simply couldn't understand how he had lost so inexplicably!
Although everyone was aware that Mr. Death's string of victories was a pile-up of preposterous incidents—whether it was defeating the War God or beating Bishop Reva, there was always an element of luck and abstraction involved—Gou never imagined that, as a teammate of the God of Death, he would one day be hammered by Mr. Death's iron fist!
