Ryuko has remained in a coma since the battle, while Satsuki is held captive by Ragyo. In their backstory, Soichiro Kiryuin, who was Satsuki's father and Ragyo's husband, had faked his own death and went under the new identity Isshin Matoi in order to raise Ryuko and prepare his revenge against Ragyo.
