Allen continues the attack on Vittorio whose wounds are healed by the Innocence in his sword. Claudia orders Vittorio to stop fighting, but she refuses to return home. Allen and Lenalee suspect that Vittorio thinks Claudia is the Princess Sandra and the Akuma are her suitors. Leaving Kanda at the Sardini household to recover and think of a strategy to defeat Vittorio, they return to the colosseum. Vittorio attacks Allen, but Kanda appears and intervenes, cutting off Vittorio's arm and severing the link to the Innocence in his sword. Vittorio dies, admitting that he knew Claudia was not the Princess, but that he happily fought for her anyway.
