### Summary
The mission to save Lita Ma has entered a dire new phase after her sacrificial transformation into a monstrous shelter to protect her injured guardian, Kana, and her brother, Bota. The objective has now shifted from finding a cure for Lita to rescuing her from this new form. This personal crisis is amplified by an imminent external threat, as a massive, worldwide mobilization of harpooners is converging on their location, likely to misidentify the transformed Lita as a hostile leviathan. As the group travels towards their confirmed destination of New York, they have encountered a new human antagonist: a high-ranking, "red star" harpooner. Reader sentiment immediately casts this new character as an arrogant and disliked figure, with his attitude drawing comparisons to villains like Homelander. A confrontation with Bota is clearly unfolding, and the audience is enthusiastically rooting for the young protagonist, whom they view as a more accomplished but humble warrior who has already defeated powerful leviathans like Kentrassi and Genod's mate. This clash between Bota's proven skill and the new harpooner's boastful authority has become the immediate focus, representing another human-centric obstacle in their desperate journey.
