Fu is horrified by the Universe Tree's death, until Towa and Mira arrive to help him. Towa infuses Mechikabura's energy into Fu, dramatically increasing his power and causing him to undergo a transformation into the new Demon King. However, Fu expresses no interest in this, and begins using his new powers to restore the Tree instead. Vegito tries to stop him and their fight resumes, but Towa and Mira intervene to help Fu and buy time for him by attacking Vegito.
