[ Coyote's attempt to assist Silver in de-blighting is highly successful; the waterballoon breaks on the area with the worst damage, effectively curing it, and enabling him to hurl himself that much faster into the fray with Yato and !NotPapa. His interference knocks the "monk's" arm askew, so that the blow—meant to pierce a lung, or something similarly vital—glances almost harmlessly, making a small gash in his side the worst he gets for his trouble (unless he counts the destruction of a beloved tracksuit as worth crying over at this point). !NotPapa is not so lucky: he takes the blows in both his chest and side, unable to properly defend himself with Silver in the way.
MEANWHILE: The second round of butterflies released by Kofuku and Daisy home in on the masked Gatekeeper as Wolfwood and Vash successfully manage to hold her in place, first by the wrists, and then by THE BIGGEST BEARHUG she's probably ever had????--after the Gatekeeper apparently does a number on Wolfette's jaw. Again, as before, the butterflies grow in size, color, and strength—even larger than before this time, as the collective pep talks coming from Star, Panther, Natalie, and the like keep coming. Again, they slam home—this time able to target the mask much more successfully, now that she's not moving everywhere. It cracks under the successive blows. ]
