Yamato is almost killed by Jealousy, but Dunstan and Milieu intervene, saving him; Yamato voices his anger at how Dunstan corrupts good people with the Evil Doji, but Dunstan is unaffected, instead telling Yamato that he finds the idea of trying to stop him interesting. Returning to the present, Yamato is unable to stop Jealousy from killing Iruma again; Jealousy plans to take the pledge with Yamato as his natural incompetence is sufficiently evil enough to qualify him as an Evil Doji master. However, because of Yamato's strong feelings for Sayami, Jealousy is unable to sneak into his heart to manipulate him. Instead, Jealousy makes Rune his new master for the time being.

However, he also learns that Sayama is Dunstan's daughter. Returning to his present self, he is left sulking about his actions. However, he is encouraged by "Oldie" to believe that everyone is "just trying to survive" and that Sayama must feel ashamed of being Dunstan's daughter. Fusataro picks a fight with Yamato, deciding whoever wins joins the winner's side. Rune observes the fight, stopping Rage before he can kill Yamato; through his taunting, Rune helps Yamato see a new form of good. This allows him to achieve a new ICON form called God Ultimo Frontal Till Dawn. Yamato explains that he's decided to give; Runs is then left shocked when Jealousy's heart-reading shows that Yamato loves Rune, platonically of course. Sayama arrives, using Regula's memory manipulation to stop Rune; she needs to prevent the future Yamato saw, but wonders if he'll still love her.
