Awakened to an unknown power by a spirit-like figure (Vision) that suddenly appeared, Johnny manages to escape the pursuit of Pork Pie Hat Kid. He becomes convinced that besides the "Left Arm," other "Corpse" parts exist, and that collecting them is the true purpose of the race. This gives Johnny new hope for the future he lost. To save the captured Gyro and protect the "Left Arm," Johnny strikes back with a new power he names "Tusk."
