### Summary
The true, deceptive nature of the First Selection is revealed, stunning the surviving players. Jinpachi Ego explains that the supposed A-Z ranking was a lie; the 300 forwards were divided into five separate stratums, each containing its own Teams V through Z. This revelation reframes Team Z's desperate struggle not as a battle of the absolute weakest, but as a triumph within their own isolated block. With the ruse exposed, the top players from all five buildings—including Yoichi Isagi, Meguru Bachira, the formidable Shouei Barou, a humbled Ikki Niko, and the synchronized Wanima twins—finally converge, realizing the scale of the competition is far greater than they ever imagined.
