   Summary

   When El Grande Americano is attacked, left battered and alone, the question isn't 'what happened', but 'who did this, and why'. More important is the question of how the masked man can rise against this injustice if he has forgotten who he has become and reverted back to European Excellence. And how can his allies help bring Grande back while fighting off the looming shadow behind the incident in the first place, growing day by day?

   It's all a matter of resiliency - how long can Ludwig Kaiser keep picking himself back up and keep the fight going?
