* ThousandOrigamiCranes: Ryoji gives Akechi some origami paper from Kyoto and the suggestion that if they and Minato work together, they'll only need to fold 333 cranes each and then they can share the wish.

Added DiffLines:

* OneSteveLimit: Averted. Minato sees that he can fuse what seems to be Akechi's persona Loki, asking Akechi why he can do that. It turns out to be a completely separate persona different from Akechi's that happened to share a name.
