Dragon breaks away from the Navy

One of the chapter’s most anticipated scenes involves young Dragon imprisoned in a Marine cell. Garp visits him, only to hear Dragon coldly announce that he is leaving the Navy. When Dragon follows up by telling his father he despises him, Garp remains silent. This conversation—short and icy—marks the beginning of Dragon’s journey toward founding the Revolutionary Army.

A brutal and unforgettable sacrifice

The climax is a devastating double-spread panel. To prove his commitment to peace, Harald rips off his own horns—a symbolic rejection of the violent legacy of his species—kneeling before the World Government and begging to atone for the past thousand years of bloodshed.

His face soaked in blood, Harald holds his horns in his hands while the final panel zooms in on Imu’s unfeeling gaze. The message is clear: the world’s ultimate judge shows no mercy.
