In a restaurant, the Busters are celebrating with this MJ and that he reconciled with Tae through television. Eikchi being a minor cannot drink and only stares at the others at the party, Hanako drunk says that MJ is usually very over-protective with Tae since for that reason she cannot find a lover at 29 years old, this leaves Eikichi surprised since he did not expect that Tae was already close to 30. After the party Eikichi decides to go to sleep but he gets up surprised to see Hanako on top of him drunk and saying nonsense, remembering what happened Eikichi remembers that he had to take Hanako to her room and now he will have to deal with her in the role of a doctor who injects his patient. Hanako injects Eikichi with a drug so that Tae will notice him more since she thinks that Eikichi is the right one for her, Eikcihi says that she does not want to have anything to do with a person as violent as Tae, but to his bad luck Tae it was on the other side of the door and beats him to the ground.

In the corridor, MJ decides to talk with Eikichi, although it is early morning MJ says that he does not need to sleep for now because his body is fine and that he will tell him the truth after Saga Sagako Busters, both enter a room full of Sagakos sealed in onions. MJ mentions that the curse was born from the search for the elixir of immortality and that since that moment he has been fighting with the curses that originate in Saga, but with time the curses took shape and became Sagako, Eikichi asks him why Onions are special and MJ responds that the land of the Hyodo is special because of the long exposure to love that gave him the strength to seal the curses. MJ and Eikichi go to the bathroom where MJ decides to release more information about the curse.

MJ asks Eikichi to wash his back while they are both naked, 10 years ago the Busters team was formed but without Yuko's power it was impossible to seal them. Before Yuko, the curses had no physical form but they changed shape as Saga prospers. The force of the curses cause them to become Sagako and the vast majority took the form of natural disasters and ruin to the people of Saga. However the Sagakos will not possess the humans and will eliminate the people who have not been blessed with prosperity by Saga, Yuko had not yet been blessed by the prosperity of Saga because her power was weakening after so many battles with Sagako but was she end up sealing and preserving in an onion. To get Yuko back, all of Saga's curses must be sealed and as a fateful star, it is Eikichi's duty to protect those who have no prosperity.

In the morning, the Busters receive the information of a Sagako appearing near a school and MJ notices him in the direction of the Minami school.
