Summary
Leonof the Puppet-Master introduces himself as the 4th Gung-Ho-Gun. He then goes onto compliment Vash as the perfect audience for his performance. Impulsively, Wolfwood fires his weapon at Leonof, but although his puppet's face is blown off it catches the bullets fired at him. As Wolfwood notes that Leonof's a Gung-Ho-Gun for nothing. Leonof uses the puppet parts that were scattered around the area to creates an amalgamation puppet monster. This triggers Vash which overwhelms both Wolfwood and Leonof. A bloody tear then runs down Vash's left eye and Wolfwood thinks the force surrounding Vash now is death. Going as far as to believe that Vash just briefly died and what's surrounding him is death. This corroborates Wolfwood's notion that Vash is no ordinary being. Again Vash exudes his potent tension from his body terrifying Leonof and making him drop his puppet. Leonof then screams at the top of his lungs which signals Gray the Ninelives to appear. The giant's appearance causes the floor beneath Wolfwood to collapse making him fall to the floor below. Vash vs Leonof proceeds.
