Shun intervenes in a friendly match between S-class hunters with DFN, and shows his talents that everyone can recognize in his battle with Ryu, but decides to decline to participate in the Kaminamijima Raid in order to support his newly awakened mother.
The fourth Kaminamijima Raid, which began without Shun, seemed to be progressing smoothly thanks to Ryu and Mogami’s efforts.
