Kicking off on the cliff-hanger from the last volume, Daryl decides that Karla is more important to him than reviving Zeon and defects to the Nanyang so that their leader Levan Fuu will fix her mind. He takes Sebastian and Billy with him, the latter of which surprises me as Billy being the only other Newtype in the story made me think he would be the key to breaking Levan Fuu's NT brainwashing on his minions, though I guess that could still happen if Billy could be convinced to betray the Nanyang. The Psycho Zaku II is nearly finished in time for a confrontation with Io who is on his way in the Spartan. Meanwhile, Levan reveals his endgame as he can see the future and decides the poison choking peace is Anaheim Electronics and so he plans to destroy their base on the moon with an army of Psycho Zakus led by Daryl.
