The rocket is now ready for liftoff. There are signs that show that the blue sky beast is still alive. Shunpei, in a drunken stupor, assumes that Seikichi is looking for Sora, since he does not want her to leave. Tetsuju notices the blue sky beast atop the rocket. As the rocket launches, it begins to deteriorate. The residents find Tetsuju, interrogating him about what happened. Toyama spreads good news that everyone will be able to help rebuild the rocket. It is later found out that Torii requested Oriku to build a roller-coaster platform to launch a cannon into the sky to attack foreign ships.
