Mission 83 (
Summary[]
Yuri fights Loid
Yuri and his impostor, Loid, shoot at each other. Loid's arm gets shot, but he shoots Yuri's gun away. Yuri kicks Loid's gun from him, and the two men jump away from one another to create some distance. Gripping his injured arm, Loid wonders why he hesitated. Meanwhile, Yuri is shocked to be directly witnessing Twilight's abilities for the first time. He pauses to wonder why Twilight chose to imitate him and suspects that Twilight could be someone close to him or has been observing him. Yuri brushes those thoughts aside to focus on capturing Twilight, and the two begin to fight.
Loid quickly knocks Yuri to the ground. Yuri gets up and orders him to surrender, saying that the sewer is surrounded, but Loid tells Yuri to leave if he does not want to die. Yuri rushes at Loid, who removes his belt and strikes Yuri's jaw, once again knocking him to the ground. Believing Yuri is unconscious, Loid walks away but is surprised to be blocking an attack from Yuri. The two resume their brawl, and Loid continues to pummel Yuri.
Loid (above) prepares to finish off the defeated Yuri
Loid is astonished that Yuri keeps getting back up and questions if this is what being raised by Yor does to someone. Loid decides to stop holding back and bashes Yuri's head with a pipe. To his fright, a bloody Yuri gets back up but collapses. Loid prepares to deal a final blow but hears Yuri mutter an apology to Yor. Loid stops and tosses away the weapon, heading further down the sewers with a low expression.
Meanwhile, at the Shellbury Hotel, Fiona and the WISE Agent decide to change plans after Winston Wheeler does not make an appearance. Using a disguise that Loid brought, the Agent disguises himself as Gascoigne, the SSS agent in charge of securing Wisnton at the meetup location. Using himself as bait, the disguised Agent walks around Shellbury to lure out Winston. On the other hand, Winston had arrived at the meetup location but never got the signal from Gascoigne. Sensing that something was wrong, Winston went to the top floor of another building to observe the streets. Spotting the disguised Agent as Gascoigne, Winston realizes that WISE has beaten them to Shellbury. He then assumes Gascoigne is the real deal and being followed. Winston decides to follow him to see where he is going, but not before taking caution.
Fiona discovers Winston
The Agent walks around for a bit to lure out Winston, to no avail. He calls in a fellow agent to start an incident, crashing a car into a pole. The Agent observes anyone who quickly turned away after looking at the crash as they might be a fellow WISE agent or Winston. The agent is shocked to find no one, but Fiona notices something. She observed a man in sunglasses who looked at the accident, but his eyes moved to the building across the street, meaning he was following the target through the window's reflection.
Fiona would not have been able to see the eye movement had the man worn darker sunglasses, but Fiona knows that Winston would not have time to get any. Fiona concludes that this man is Winston and sets her glare upon him. Winston senses that he has been found out and runs, and Fiona gives chase. With the help of other agents, Fiona corners Winston, declaring this "game of hide-and-seek" over.

Trivia[]
- Twilight knocks out Yuri by hitting him on the jaw with his belt, a move that Handler also used in Chapter 63.
- This is the first chapter in which Loid has let out an audible scream since he was a child.
- It is revealed that the scarred officer who revealed Loid as Winston's impostor in Chapter 82 is named Gascoigne.
- Usually, when Twilight's face is shown while he is impersonating someone, Twilight appears in the background and the disguise in the foreground (examples of this can be seen on Chapter 1, Chapter 21, Extra Mission 1, and the previous and next chapters). However, the panel of Twilight walking away after being unable to kill off Yuri in this chapter shows Twilight's face in the foreground while the Yuri disguise is in the background.
